Designer Con 2017

Another Pasadena adventure is in the bag! We had a great trip out at Designer Con 2017 with our crew! It was a bitter sweet trip this year as it marks the last Dcon in Pasadena. We have been doing this show for 4 years now and it will certainly be missed at this special location.

I know I have been pretty quiet on the social outlets as of late. This year has been a busy one for me in many ways. Probably the biggest piece was getting married to my best friend of almost 10 years last month! It took a great deal of preparation and focus for that event, so my time became very limited with free activity. However, that did not stop me from developing new creations in the Spaced Out Universe!

I debuted a few things at Dcon '17 including a new Glyos compatible resin line called "The Spaced Out Compact Series". A few of my canon characters had been reworked into small and minimally jointed figures. It was really neat seeing my sculpts tiny and very detailed. The response to these little guys was very positive so definitely look out for more in the near future!

The other new offerings this year were some new 3D printed figures coming from Prismiria. The "Prismirites" are companion pieces to beings of Prismiria. There is 2 versions of the figures with differing parts. Just a small amount of these figures were released in the public. Expect a full release early 2018.

Everything is starting to fall back into place more or less. Be on the lookout for new Spaced Out figures and announcements soon!

Balance

Its been a few months since I last posted on here, but I am excited to get back into the action! Back in December I got a new job with more responsibilities, so the creative endeavors got slowed down a bit. Since then, I have been trying to find the balance between that and what I am building here with Spaced Out Design. I have been steadily working on a new figure and a few other miscellaneous projects that will be popping up over the next few weeks.

I am truly excited about sharing this next figure however. His first sketches and outline began quite a few years ago when I started really getting into toys and thinking it could be something I could supplement my life with. Since then, I have been adding and improving on his overall design in between other projects like Geodraxus and Quarzenic.

Acris holds a very special place in my overall vision. He was the first critical design I wanted to pursue and hope to perfect. He still is going through changes as I speak but I know he will land in a good place in the end.( Hopefully!)

Anyway, I figured I would throw up some pictures of both of my worlds, work and toys! I now have a powerful laser cutting machine at my disposal and 3D modelling software, so I have been busy noodling around there as well. Here are some patterns I drew and cut out of Acris, along with some early study sculpts and some shop casts!
