Old Adversaries

Old Adversaries coming to light. More soon...

Quarzenic

During the making of the last online release, I started sculpting a new character in between casting and tooling. I had been drawing some new characters and wanted to start in on a new figure. I wanted to bring someone in who could pose a real threat to our existing heroes of Prismiria. Something big , but at the same time functional and fun. This meatball is a hefty chunk of resin that I think some of you might like as much as I do. There is a few different variations you can make within the figure. Above are some photos of that and some size comparison shots as well.

 Here enters Quarzenic!

After the planet of Velgeris was overrun by the Treeborgs, they wasted no time gathering what they could to forge new weaponry and gear. It was within their nature to fuse different elements with themselves to create new and powerful lifeforms and or weapons. 

They had found remains of Prismirian soldiers across Velgeris and started tinkering with its technology. Many failed experiments came along. However, one experiment stood out from the rest. It was a creature that had elements of the mechanical Treeborgs while also harnessing the power and aesthetics of a Prismirian Knight. These two elements combined made a volatile creation that they were yearning for. This was their way of taking Prismiria and furthering their experimentation. 

Without any delay, they commanded their new creation to travel to Prismiria and pave the way for the Treeborg invasion... 

More photos and the Designer Con rundown in a little bit! 

Shipped!

Everything from the store debut has been shipped out as of Monday afternoon! I am super stoked to have had you guys apart of this latest assortment. Its been super fun making these guys! I hope that everyone likes the stuff they got.

For those of you that picked up a Saplorite, be on the lookout for some oddballs! Some of these guys glow in the dark and some of them change in different lighting! It will be fun to see which ones you scored.

Be sure to hop over to the forums and post some pics of you hauls! I want to see who ended up with some of those Saplorites. I am already rolling into the next thing "toy" wise. After a small decompression I am returning to one of my favorite parts of toy making, sculpting!

Thank You!

Thank you to those who participated in last night's debut of the Spaced Out Design Shop! Last night's turnout exceeded my expectations, and your support is greatly appreciated! I just wanted you all to know you made the grand opening extra special for me, and forever have my thanks!

 A good amount of time has been invested into this project. After sculpting the Glyos compatible Treeborg parts, Matt inspired me on possibly doing another figure to go with these guys. We fooled around with the parts and he had some great ideas for a new figure. The Saplorite figure was planted in my head after that session.

If you look closely on the Saplorite figure, you will find a part of the sculpt is very reminiscent of Matt's style with a rooted twist. I took one of the handcast parts he had modified and built around it. Can you find it?
 
A very special thanks goes out to Matt for all his help, advice, guidance and input throughout this project. He has a strong impact on the things I have created and I am eternally grateful for everything he has done!

Another special thanks goes out to Marcus for putting the site together. He spent a lot of time and effort making this thing right. Also, he brought a lot of originality to the site and I couldn't be happier with the result! Thanks Bince!

And last but certainly not least, a special thanks to Jesse for providing his awesome artwork for this launch. He has been a huge support in all my creativity and I am lucky to work with him on special projects. You're the best bro!

Well, that was a mouthful! In terms of last night's sale, the shipping process will begin next week. So be on the lookout for notices then. Thanks again to everyone who checked out the latest oddities, and there is much more to come in 2013!

Also, the site has had a complete make-over thanks to Marcus! Marc and I have been going back and forth like mad men. He truly put a lot of hard work into this and I couldn't be happier. More soon !

Update

Sooner than you think

Cast, Paint, Repeat... Sleep??

Its been a super busy couple of months! I have been amping up some things for this launch that is (hopefully) emerging later this month! There has been a few add-ons along the way , that I hope will enhance this project. Its been super fun ( and painfully tiring ) getting all this made!

Also, there may be some killer art smatterings to go along with this launch by a very handsome bearded man! Can't wait!

So here are a few WIP shots and some casts that I have been working on the past few days. More stuff soon!

Complete!

Whew! After many many hours of sculpting, the Treeborg mini figure is complete! More details on this guy and more soon!

New Tree Action

Been keeping super busy on the Treeborg project as of late. I had a sit down with the father of glyos and he gave me a great idea to go along with the Treeborgs. Its amazing how this insane man thinks! Anyway, the idea was to make a figure with some of the already existing Treeborg parts.

Some of the above pictures are WIP shots of the Treeborg soldier (working title) utilizing the foot part of the Treeborg( also Matts idea). I still need to add some armor and tree effects to him, but should make molding soon! I want to this release to have a few good elements to them, so lets hope this little guy makes the grade!

And finally, I got my hands on Matt Walkers new Monster Kolor resin dye! I must say, his products are top quality and nothing shy of spectacular. I can't say enough great stuff about this dye! And thanks for the extras Chooch!

Some more WIP shots and other swaz soon!

Happy Holidays!

I just wanted to personally wish everyone a safe and happy New Year!

2012 is coming to a close and its been quite a year! I plan to kick off 2013 with some sweet handcast treats and some custom toys as well. The Treeborgs are itching to be released, but I want to take my time and do it right. There will be some more updates leading to the release of these guys so stay tuned!

See you all next year!

The Future Is Near.. The Future Is Treeborgs!

Been cranking out some thermos at the studio along with painting some custom Glyos Treeborgs! More soon!
