I'm curious about the inspiration as well. Pretty cool you were able to make the hand the way you did. But I'm curious, like Slice was saying, what inspired you to do that? Where did the idea come from? Did you see something similar somewhere? Is it a nod to anything in particular?

Lay off guys - He’s making Drednoks, for crying out loud! Drednoks don’t do peace signs. What else was he going to do with the peace sign hand sitting there? Seriously!? You’re going too far guys! Leave it alone!

I like you arbco, but your ideas aren’t getting taken here. You want to take an idea from a customizer and not pay respects? Cool. Get called out on it. That’s how it goes. To much of that horse shit goes on.

No, not a nod to any previous character or custom, I just thought the peace sign hand was useless to me in that from so I thought I try to rework it. It was an opportunity to experiment that turned out ok, but if it didn't work out no big loss. As for other customs here and on the web I haven't seen it done at this scale. I think I've seen a 6 or 12 inch Deadpool that had a middle finger hand but I think it's factory and not custom. If you know of other customizers that have done something similar please drop a link, I'd love to see. I'm always searching here and elsewhere for references to characters, but I often run into the problem here where pics are missing from older custom threads... which is a let down.
I think I'm free to ask about a customizers creative mindset when it comes to creating these figures. I did customs as well and I find these guys very inspiring and I like to pick their brains because my brain doesn't like that. If you have a problem with me communicating with an artist to get my creative juices flowing so I can come up with some of my own ideas maybe you to go sit in the corner somewhere and cry about it to get it off your chest. I never said anything about the middle finger being offensive. I really like it. So I don't know what you are suggesting I went "too far" with. What? You think I was thinking that he needs to be a little PC and watch the vulgar hand signals? Get the fuck out of here with that shit! I'm not sure who hurt you but don't toss your problems in my direction just because I like this guy's ideas. |

Thanks for clarifying sbartek, I was replying solely to Slice. I try not to read too much into people's posts as it's easy for misunderstandings to arise. Slice made it clear what he's referring to so I have to respond to that in kind.
I try to assume the best in people until they prove me wrong. Slice may be a great dude in person or he may be an ass. Won't know unless we meet one day, but he basically called me a liar. I can forgive and move on and I don't care for apologies or any of that. I just wish he would have assumed I hadn't seen the customs he's thinking of. To do otherwise is to assume something bad about someone you don't know.

I definitely wasn't referring to another custom using the middle finger. That's actually an original idea. I think it's great. I wouldn't have just woke up one day and thought of that on my own. I usually look at other customizers work and get ideas and apply those ideas to my customs. I lack my own originality alot of times. I never would of thought of using a middle finger on a Dreadnok but it makes sense. I thought there was another Dreadnok custom that used a middle finger as well not too long ago. I think that's an awesome idea and it works. Great job!

Don’t mind Slice’s comment here and keep it up. These are great Noks. Thanks for sharing these fun JoyToy experiments. |

Slice, you don't know me. You don't know where my "inspiration" comes from and I don't have time to go through every single custom on hisstank to find out if someone has done it first. I PM'd you to start a dialogue and in the time it took to do that you had all this to say. You should have PM'd me first if you're this concerned. If there is a similar custom feel free to link it here as I'd like to see it, but I can't give credit to someone for something I don't know about.
Chill the F' out man I reached out to you when you joined and created that firefly wrist piece similar to mine. All Good btw. Told you “hey man welcome. You should visit other customizers threads and show some Love and they will come by and check out your work" You never did. Just came and went, taking ideas and using them. Fuck outta here. I have never been the one to post my work in another customizers thread, beyond bad form. But you got me confused saying you don’t have time to go through everyone’s thread when that’s exactly what you do bro. Rightfully so btw, Becuase these fools here kick ass . Understand this, it’s not about the “middle finger” man. That’s fucking petty shit. It’s the principle. Cats like you and few other fly by night “customizers” coming here and taking ideas from guys here who put in the hard work is bullshit. Not all will agree. Most will never say a thing. Those are the good dudes. But I will. You’re wrong. Doesn’t bother you? That’s cool. hq hd image

When I said you don't know me I meant personally and no I haven't seen the custom of yours before you posted it just now. I do comment on other people's customs. I just don't have time to do what you're asking, which is to view everyone's customs so I don't risk offending some thin skinned prick who puts way too much self worth in this...hobby... If you care to read your pms as you've mentioned maybe you've misread the Firefly one. I was being diplomatic, but I wasn't giving you credit. If you're so concerned with credit then you can check you're lastest pm from me... I think you'll find it enlightening. As soon as as you credit me for that idea (which by your standard you must have seen and remembered) I'll credit you for giving the finger to everyone first.
Point is don't hold others to standards you yourself can't keep.
