  1. He's on the run... to much villains.
  2. --> Nice job on the jacket, althought I still have problems with the face design. I miss the hair structure on the mutton chops... it's to clean for me. But that's your view and all my respect for it. --> Nice pattern. --> Nicely done, like the dog tag with ball chain... although I find that to much muscles are showed. Maybe if you stylize the muscle parts a bit or don't connect them I think it will look better. Also... maybe you could add some folds instead of muscles. But that's just my view of course. --> Nice.
  3. Very nice job... I love the decal of Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali, Ph.D. Nice use of black outline and no black outline in the torso design... Second I love the hair piece of Dr. Sheldon Cooper, Ph.D. I have no words for it... just perfect. The face decals are also great... the only thing I could say is about the glasses of . Leonard Hofstadter, Ph.D, they are a little more curved then your design but overall super job. Keep it up, kurt
  4. Just added The Joker and his Henchmen. The face of the Joker is mostly based on Tim Burton's Joker (played by Jack N.) and the comic Joker. Hope you like it.
  5. Sorry to bring this up again but I think I found the comic where Ra's Al Ghul has a sigar. I'm not 100% sure because I have read it 15 years ago, so if I'm wrong don't shoot me...

  16. Thx all for the nice words... and maybe I'll make a batman and joker...
  17. I'm not real familiar with all the characters but I added some diff. versions of the Mad Hatter,... so pick the one you like or the one you think that's correct. By the way, just added the Penguin. Any suggestions for a character (Riddler, Poison Ivy, The Clock, ...) ???
  18. Thx for the nice words Batbrick. About the sigar,...if my memorie is correct he smokes one in a comic draw by Neal Adams. Also thx for the nice comment The Penguin & tin7. - But why you find it strange that Ra's Al Ghul has a sigar... just a question because I'm not the Batman connoisseur (Although I think I have seen him smoke one in Neal Adams hard cover comic). - And why can't Mad Hatter have white hair... because I have seen him with white, gray, brown/blond hair. What's for you the right color ? Edit: I found a colored illustration of the original by Sir John Tenniel. I suppose that this is the base for the character... so as you can see he has blond hair and his ribbon is red and yellow. I make some different versions...
  19. Hope you like them... Added 07-10-2009 (Ra's Al Ghul) Added 07-10-2009 (The Mad Hatter) Added 08-10-2009 (Extra - different hair color & ribbon) Added 09-10-2009 (The Penguin) Added 28-10-2009 (The Riddler) Added 28-10-2009 (Bookworm) Added 30-10-2009 (Catwoman) Added 05-11-2009 (Joker and his henchmen)
  20. As some may know I applied for the graphic design job at Lego Billund but so far I don't know if I got it. If I got it... cross cross the fingers... I'll love to welcome you all (if I got it I must move to Denmark you see). If I don't got the job... count me in.
  21. Yes yes yes yes,... he's selling... if the quality is as good as the designes... I must place an order. Please let us know something... thx in advance.
  22. Constructive criticism: I would make the collar 1/3 smaller,... IMO now it looks like the collar is as weight as their shoulders. Said with good intentions.
  23. Tip: Draw your red line firts and add then the purple collar. Said with good intentions.
  24. We walking in circles... This is the answer from TLC (quote from BB) Our selling costs in Europe and Asia are higher than in the US because of the size of US market and retailers (economies of scale). Furthermore, the US market is by far the most price competitive in the world. These factors combined mean that we have for years priced our products higher in eg Europe than the US. In recent years, the difference has been increased due to the weakening US dollar – but we have consciously decided not to let this (hopefully short term) weakening of the dollar hurt the US consumer. And in order to stay profitable as a company, we cannot decrease our European prices – especially seen in the light of increasing cost pressure on oil, labor etc. Finally, final pricing in the market place is obviously determined by retailers, which is something we cannot and will not influence.
  25. For me TLC did a good job and I don't have much to add to the comments that already been given. Beside that I will buy it for sure.
