Geil, that's great man! Your skills make me cry over how useless I am. Quick question, what kind of material are the black and white panels made of? Did you buy them or make them yourself?
no talent here, trust me Now sculpting a head or customizing entire figures that is talent....
As for displays, knowing what the end result needs to be sure helps and a lot of ideas are just copied, your vision just needs to pick and stitch all these ideas together tastefully everything is just straight lines and perpendicular cuts .... just research material and time.
Oh and the right tools make a huge difference between a patch job or near professional finish
