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.
and a few pics of the menacing dunny on a beautiful Arizona day:
Got a couple more spawn related pieces I’m stoked about and will be posting soon, I’m definitely going to be earning a christmas vacation this year!
more very soon…..
A little while back I was asked to join the TOY2R QEE world tour as a special guest artist to celebrate their 15 year anniversary! It’s pretty wild to think there’s a vinyl toy company that’s already hitting the big 15, I guess that reinforces that TOY2R and the vinyl world are here to stay.
This was the first Qee I’ve ever done actually, and it was pretty fun to finally mess around with, it’s got more articulation than I expected. It’s very well thought out so the peices have motion without rubbing against each other and removing your paint. It goes together solidly, but comes apart easily enough without needing to heat the vinyl or anything, goes back together easily as well. Also, it has some sort of matte paint finish that makes acrylic stick to it very easily as well. Basically, it’s a very solid and pleasant DIY platform that will give you very little headaches when working with it.
Now that the endorsement’s over, here’s some info on the show:
This will probably be the biggest thing in Nebraska. Ever.
And here’s my piece for the show:
“Lesser Reanimated Rogue”
Custom Toyr QEE
I decided to stay faithful to the basic design on this one, and just add some select elements to bring out the initial shape of the platform. The concept for this figure is that he is a corpse, reanimated by the magic spell on his back, the spell only lasts for as long as the candle burns on his head. When the candle goes out, he goes back to his eternal slumber. Lesser reanimated rogues, make great assassins that self destruct.
And yes, I snuck a little “Army of Darkness/Day the earth stood still” Nod in there as well!
Stay classy interwebs!
Another recently commissioned 8″ Dunny. It was super fun to do one these w/ the mask and one without. Still not sure which one I like more:
