It's the year of the dragon and I wanted to start the year out with a sculpt of Martin Hsu's Dragon Boy!

Soon to be a Vinyl figure.

I've missed a few weeks so I'll make up for it.

ART 317C Sculpting Life Forms

2011-08-30T22:41:00.000-07:00

So many talented artists have gone through the journey that is this class. I want to start showcasing their work. I've always wanted to do this in one form or another and I have finally found the time to go through literally thousands of pictures. Still more to go through but I think its time to get this started.
I will post one work from one student every week.
ENJOY.

Almost ready for baking.

2011-08-27T23:35:00.000-07:00

Thunderball

2011-08-07T23:59:00.000-07:00

Here is the fourth and final member of the Crew all roughed up and ready for detailing.

Custom Kilowog and Amazo JLU figures

2011-07-19T22:07:00.000-07:00

Thanos of Titan

2011-05-29T10:02:00.000-07:00

This was done as a study so you won't being seeing him on store shelves.

Bulldozer and the Wrecking Crew

2011-05-24T18:16:00.000-07:00

Here is the finished Bulldozer prototype with Piledriver and the Wrecker.

Painted Megalith

2010-11-10T22:48:00.000-08:00

Megalith is officially my first offering in the world of resin
kits and is officially liscensed through Neal Adams.
He's about 8 inches tall and comes in 4 parts.
This will be limited to no more than 20-25 kits.

Piledriver of the Wrecking Crew. Known for his huge fists.

2010-11-10T22:34:00.000-08:00

Finally an update

2010-08-09T23:06:00.000-07:00

Well, here is the final finished sculpture.

2010-05-24T21:46:00.000-07:00

Just starting to block out the forms.
I wanted to take some shots to show the progression.
More to come.

Megalith update

2010-05-17T22:23:00.000-07:00

The body has been baked.
Now I can finish the arms and head.
This is where it really gets fun.
I can't wait to slap some clay on that mug!

The Wrecker

2010-05-04T23:01:00.000-07:00

Just finished the leader of the Wrecking Crew a few days ago.
Enjoy.

2010-04-07T23:30:00.000-07:00

Here's a little update to Megalith.
I separated his arms. Really buttoned down the anatomy.
The suit areas have been freshly raked. Just need to finish off the lower legs and he'll be ready for a little alcohol bath.

Sinestro

2010-03-20T17:43:00.001-07:00

Just had to sculpt him after I did Hal. I debated about putting him in his Sinestro Corps costume but ultimately decided to go with his original, show accurate costume instead.
I still may do a second version down the line.

Hal Jordan

2010-02-15T23:32:00.001-08:00

Once again, another JLU sculpt. This time it's Green Lantern Hal Jordan. I always start out trying to take more progress pics but then get so engrossed in the sculpting process that by the time I remember to I've gone way to far.

2010-01-24T09:50:00.000-08:00

Here are some older pieces but I've never posted these particular images before so I thought I'd share.

Gotham Knights

Darkseid

2010-01-16T16:15:00.000-08:00

Just a quick update.
Monsterpalooza is a show in April that I will be a part of. The focus of the show is "the Art of Monsters" so stop by if you get the chance. There will be a lot of cool things to see and buy there.

Happy New Year!

2010-01-01T11:48:00.000-08:00

Wow. I can't believe it's 2010. Very exciting.
Here is where Megalith is at right now and will probably remain for the near future as I am again swamped with projects. Wishing everyone a safe and productive New Year.

Happy holidays

2009-12-24T22:30:00.001-08:00

It's starting to get fun at this point as the forms
start to take shape.

2009-12-21T21:39:00.000-08:00

After I built the armature, I got so swamped with work that it just sat on my shelf and the next thing I knew 5 years had come and gone. I finally got a break earlier this year and what did I do? Yeah. Couldn't help myself. So here it is five years later, the project is alive and kicking.

2009-12-19T00:29:00.000-08:00

Here is the five year old armature. Aluminum Wire with Magic Sculpt epoxy.
I'd make this armature different if I were to do it today but I guess it's all part of the learning process.

Megalith Possessed

2009-12-17T23:19:00.000-08:00

This project can be traced back many many years ago. I'm an avid comicbook fan and back in 92-93, Megalith 4 had just hit the stands. Neal Adam's cover with Megalith as a werewolf hit me like a ton of bricks. That cover had a real powerful effect on me. So much so that I decided to do a sculpt of Megalith as a werewolf. I wanted to give him the head of a real wolf so I decided to actually sculpt a miniature wolf skull. That was five years ago.

WOW miniatures

2009-12-16T23:27:00.001-08:00

These are two World of Warcraft miniatures I sculpted a few years back. Foresaken Warrior and Draenei Priest. The Foresaken Warrior is 32 mm tall from head to feet and the Draenei is 39 mm.These were a lot of fun and brought back memories. Painting lead miniatures like these when I was younger was sort of a gateway for me becoming a sculptor. I remember being really critical of the sculpts even at an early age. Grenadier had some of the best sculptors working for them back in the day.

2009-12-07T00:09:00.001-08:00

This is the vinyl statue. Strictly limited. 400 of the original (green) version was produced along with 300 of the black variant. I really liked how the bronze prototype turned out but it never made it to production.
12 inches tall.

2009-12-07T00:07:00.000-08:00

The final sculpt consists of 26 individual pieces.

2009-12-06T23:50:00.000-08:00

This is my original design based on Guan Yu

more Star Wars

2009-11-29T11:40:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple more of the many Bust-Ups I worked on.

Hachoo

2009-11-11T18:09:00.000-08:00

Another sculpt based on designs by Mizna.
Hachoo paint masters.

Lollipop Girl SDCC

2009-11-09T20:21:00.000-08:00

SDCC exclusive colorway paint master.

Lollipop Girl Paint Masters

2009-11-09T20:16:00.000-08:00

I believe the white skirt/skull version was never produced.

Lollipop Girl

2009-11-09T20:10:00.000-08:00

This was my first official Vinyl toy sculpt. Based on original designs by Mizna Wada. Shown here is the wax prototype.

Wonderman bust

2009-11-06T10:00:00.000-08:00

Bowen Designs put it out as a bust earlier this year.

Wonderman

2009-11-06T09:58:00.000-08:00

This is a wonderman commission I did a few years back.

Dragon Booster

2009-11-01T23:51:00.001-08:00

Raw sculpt resin master

Dragon Booster

2009-11-01T23:31:00.001-08:00

This was a really fun line to work on.

Dragon Booster

2009-11-01T23:30:00.001-08:00

I worked on everything but the cannons.

Dragon Booster

2009-11-01T23:27:00.000-08:00

I guess the show did not take off in the states so the toys only got released overseas. I never even got a chance to purchase some of these for myself. Here I only worked on the dragon and not the rider.

Dragon Booster

2009-11-01T23:24:00.000-08:00

I was the main sculptor on this line and must have worked on 70-80% of this toy line. This was the one dragon in the line that I did not sculpt that but I did sculpt the figure.

Some Star Wars stuff

2009-10-28T21:57:00.000-07:00

Here are some busts I've done over the years. Clone trooper, Animated General Grievous and Palpatine.
