I've been checking the up coming comics, and wanting the new DCUC real bad, but I'm coming up short. it's a serious pain in the rear, but I have no intension in stopping, I just plan to find a better job, and keep buying.

and I hope you can figure a way to do the same, bro.

he quit. and I'm not sorry

just give another month test and see how thing work out customizing is a very lonely road and with one less it will be even lonelier come on because your throwing a one man pity party sorry if I seem mean everyone but but I hate to see someone quit at something there not only good at but also passionate about

quitter.

NO!!!1 you are not giving up your gunna keep tryin and ya know why .....because I said so sorry if I came on a little strong but I hate quiters

got a GF,her nameswaverly... wel shes really a crush,one can dream, right???

To be honest, I was at my dads shop. one of our family friends brought me an action figure...
Of the thing.
Its been sitting in my closet for at least a year or two, and then...
I stumbled across figure realm. Action figures galore, custom ideas from imaginations all over the world, as far as the eye can see!
(I had a collection of about 100 SW ep 3 action figures, ranging from about $10-$200)
they were all staring at me... Tinkering with a couple of pieces I manages to make a tron helmet.
then, ispiration struck. MY OWN CLONE TROOPER! (bought enamels, not good)
gamma A B and omega troopers, all made... then the thing... No patience... rushed them all.
all I really wanted was to make action figures BETTER than hasbro...
I looked around my room, as it lay in ruins with a lot of figures, atleast $400 worth plus $300 in supplies, I wasted a lot of money on this project.
I trudged over to my desk, with the paper and pen still there from where I left them two months ago... old frends, re-uniting. I love to draw, and I would love to see my drawings come to life. I can't say that with borg vader and bleeding earwig that didn't happen.
*sigh* I can draw in class, on the road... It's be silly if I brought all my acryllic tubes, brushes, and wood board(for a pallete) with me to a hockey game. Pen in the pocket, notebook under one arm, doodles galore...
I opened up to the page where I left of, My dream action figure...
I ripped it out, rolled it into a ball and threw it in the trash. then I drew up a battle scene with stick figures!!!!!!!
Goodbye, figure realm, was a good run (yeah right) if I could sell it all back for the same amount, I would in a heartbeat... I can't, I might get more =D
WHAT ABOUT KYLE??? I LIKE YO STYLE! (whoever said that, thanks)
goodbye
thanks for being honest in the polls!

Not really he could become one of those monks that resign to celibacy

Not a chance.

hehe

Not a chance.

Who cares about being a top customizer? Seriously... if you're having fun customizing, keep at it. If you're not, find out why and if it's something you really can't change, by all means find something else that you'll actually have fun doing. Don't compare yourself to other customizers, though. That road leads to self doubt and loathing of your own work. Have fun doing what you enjoy doing, but if it really causes you grief and stress, by all means don't do it. If you're thinking of quitting just because of a contest though, no offense but that's a bit petty. You'll never get better unless you keep at it, so keep that in mind.

Who voted on the last one? You guys better be joking, it takes practice and he might excel others and be like the top professionals.

Oh yeah disney freek um you might not really be depressed you might have just read my anti life equation (its my signature) because whenever darksied speaks it the person realizes life is pointless and have to become a slave to darksied so the only way to know is to ask you this Are you a slave to darksied if not my nerd theory was pointless

Stay, dude. I just started school. My plan of attack is do your homework first. I already did my homework for today so that's why I'm on...Well anyways after you do your homework then go on the internet. Last year it killed me, and I had passing but bad grades. This year I exectued a new plan to do homework first then surf the net. And true, stay away from the hot girls in your school. They KILL everything that you learned. EVERYTHING! and occasionally my girlfriend takes my money , see what I mean?

WOW that was epiclly deep now im inspired to get better for some reason so... look out world prepare for epic customs

Nobody starts out being a master craftsman, I have screwed up so much stuff learning how do customize...I still do! (I'm no master craftsman) If you are not satisfied with your skills, then maybe you should just concentrate on one at a time. For instance, make a custom (or several for that matter) that requires only a repaint. Then move on to switching out body parts for a while. Then move on to sculpting...I mean BASIC sculpting, like filling in a hole, gash, recess, or some other flaw with your original base figure. Do some real simple customs for a while, like head swaps. If it's money that's holding you back, try to use common materials whenever possible. Just take "baby steps" and master each skill one at a time. And one thing that I've learned for certain is to TAKE YOUR TIME! Don't ever rush it! Look at other customizers galleries on this site...I mean go back to their earliest pieces. You will see that anyone who is good and has been doing this for a while has improved since their initial entries on this site! I hate to see anyone throw in the towel, but the bottom line is that to continue this hobby, it must be enjoyable. If customizing is no longer enjoyable for you, then there's no point in doing it anymore. So maybe you do need a break, or maybe you're done with it, or...maybe you can take what you've learned from previous efforts and take a new, fresh approach to this hobby. Whatever you decide, Good luck!

Oh, and I meant it when I said to STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM WOMEN!

your grandpa ROCKED.

and dude, you should totally stay. I'm not really a customizer PER SE, but I stick around be cause I like to talk and those were some sick rhymes!

"There's only two things in this world that scares me....Women and the police" To quote my Grandfather. I don't think you should leave, because you can only get better at customizing with time. I mean yeah, your stuff isn't that great. Well guess what? Mine's not either. I'm just going to make them better, then post them on here. You just have to believe in yourself, and in your abilities as a customizer. I like to think like this: If I have the materials, it can be done. If it isn't good, I can do it again. Think about that dude.

You don't have to leave just because of school. Maybe you just need a break? I know this won't cheer you up, but life doesn't get any easier after school...Gotta get out there and get a job, maybe go to college, party too hard and flunk out of college, gotta get a better job, decide to go back to college, get hooked up with the wrong girl (which consumes all your study time), flunk out of college again, gotta get another job that's better than the last one you had, get married to the wrong girl, fight like cats and dogs, your job is not good enough and you don't make enough money to support you and your wife...BAM! OH CRAP!...Now she's pregnant, gotta get a better job, cause now you got an extra mouth to feed, fight like cats and dogs, baby is cryin', wife says you don't make enough money and takes child and leaves your broke @$$, job kind of sucks...gotta get a better one, wife files for divorce, now your broke @$$ has legal fees, marital debt, and child support, gotta get a better job, maybe if you go back to school and finish education you can get a better job, even though your @$$ is flat-broke you go back to college somehow, the divorce drags on and leaves you depressed, you turn to booze, booze takes the pain away, figure hey if you're drunk all the time, maybe you will feel no pain, now you've flunked out of college again because you spent all your study time partying, go back to your job with a hangover, fight depression with booze, anti-depressants, booze, bills pile up, but you're @$$ is broke from partying too hard, gotta get a better job that pays more money so you can drink more, narrowly avoid filing for bankruptcy and finally pay off all previous marital debt and legal fees 2 years after the divorce, now you have more free money for booze, job sucks, not only that, but now you have a new boss who's a real @$$whole, try going back to college again, your the oldest person in class, lose interest and quit, finally settle into some type of career with a new @$$whole boss, Child support increases everytime your salary does, you feel like for every step forward you take, you take two steps back, after years of depression you have finally gotten sober and carried on with your life, you are ready to find another girl, but now your hair is getting awful thin, you've got a large "spare tire" and it's hard trying to find a single girl your age, decide to get a dog instead, dog craps all over you carpet while you're at work, chews furniture, decide to get rid of dog, finally get your finances on track, job situation is looking decent, get hooked up with a different wrong girl, CRAP, THE CYCLE CONTINUES!

You don't have to leave Figurerealm, but STAY IN SCHOOL! And stay the Hell away from women!

I'm in middle school but I'm gonna work on stuff on the weekends. Why don't you do the same!! Pleeeeeeeeze! Don't give up I used to make cr@ppy customs (never submitted) But I kept trying!

so you're leaving cause of school?what grade are you in?

what about kyle I dig your style.

It's true! Kyle is like an orange!
