What?  No love for Groot?

I'm always flattered and a little embarrassed when someone asks to pay for one of my sculpts.  I prefer to make trades (BTW Brian, how's the head cast coming?), and I'm a sucker for a story with a kid. 
I guess I'll have to sign up for Facebook.  Someone else said I should join up.  Lord knows, I never use my Linkdn and Google+ accounts.

I know what you mean. I can barely keep up with a few and man Facebook just seems to suck me in and take all my time, but there is a ton of stuff on it.

Great sculpt on Rocket's head!  If you're selling casts, I'm in.  I love the idea of Mega Blocks figures for a base.  Very interested in seeing how he and Groot turn out. It's a bloody shame that movie-style Guardians figures were never put out in 1:18; they could have made a bundle.

FWIW, your Cane Adiss ranks among my all-time favorite customs.

Hey yarders!

I need to stop tweaking Groot's head.  The magnifiers have gotten me pretty far, but it got to the point that I was sculpting using my iPad on max magnification.  The white Aves was making me crazy, so I painted on eyes and gave him a thin wash to see the details.

Work on the body isn't quite as slow.  I'm using pics of the 1/6 scale Groot as a guide for the wood patterns on his body.

I've finally manned up and splurged on some good mold making stuff.  Molding heads tomorrow.








More soon

The first head casts are curing right now?

Hey Yarders

Clone Crazy has posted another chapter of his KOTOR opera chapter seven, The Mandolorian Wars.
http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=9990.0

He's revealed a new character named Queen Nysa, which I've been keeping under wraps for months until he posted her in the PN.  Turnaround is fair play.  I think I kept him waiting for about two years for his commissions.

She was inspired by a sketch on Deviant Art, referred to as Visas Marr and by Raven of the Teen Titans.

The base figure is GI Joe Rise of Cobra, Paris Pursuit Baroness.  I've made a few modifications and used one of those Depa Billaba head casts.  The cloak and hood are made of purple nitrile gloves.  She's one of four commissions I made for CC.  I'll reveal the others, after he does.

She looks fantastic. Reminds me of a cool concept figure for Assassins Creed I saw awhile back only better in color. Way to go. Time to go share.

I didn't notice that until you mentioned it.
Thanks Tamer

Stunning! The use of a nitrile glove is inspired! She does indeed look like Visas Marr (a character from KOTOR II if you didn't know that already).
