    Question

    Wonder if the artist get to pick what the design or the look of the figure should be or if Todd has to tell them exactely how he wants the figures. How much imput do the artist have?
    I know its more than one artisit usually, but is there ever tiffs between them becuase they dont like the way another artist finishes their work?

    I wonder if they use real naked women models to make the figures and we are stuck to watch the toys.....

    I have a feeling that there's a lot more emphasis on being part of the team than anything. While you may be great at one thing, it's the total team effort that pays off. This is why I'd think that you never see the phrase 'sculpted by' on a McF figure. I don't think you'd hear a lot of, 'I did this', but a lot of ' We did this.' Teamwork can raise an individuals efforts to the next level.

    Cool

    The funny thing is that most of the good artists started to make thing on their own without taking classes !!!
    Sure, afterwards they will take some courses to improve or the evolve into using another technics......

    I have a brother that is a commercial artist and has been working as an artist for many, many years. He's great but with all the computers that are used now, he's had to learn how to do art with pcs to keep his career going.
