uno mas Mandarin Por La Victoria!!!!

Filed under: Customs — (f+) @ 7:23 pm

Well, I’m still insane busy, now more than ever I’d say. The pieces for the show are coming along slowly yet surely, I want to thank everyone for their inquiries and for getting excited about this world I’m creating! It really reinforces that I am going in the right direction with my work. :)

I’ll be posting some sneak peaks very soon, but for now I thought I’d share a recently completed commission, seeing as how much everyone love my last mandarins!

I was asked to do another, and the collector was kind enough to allow me to make an eviler, darker Dunny this time. So it came to be called “The Black Mandarin warlord”

This one was just as fun to make as the first two. I wanted to push him a little more, but not make him completely different, so I pulled a little more of a “dragon feel” out of the design, and sharpened him up a it in places. Also, decided to go with a traditional Chinese ring sword with a dragon sculpted onto the blade.

the symbol on his head is “guey kuay” which is chinese for an evil demon or devil.
