Custom Toy of the Week- "LV-426"!

Back last fall, I participated in the Vinyl Thoughts Art Show 6. I had two pieces in show that reflected two of my loved film franchises, Alien, and Predator. My first piece was reflective of Alien. This piece, "LV-426", was a fun challenge. I wanted to add elements that spoke of the stillness of the first of the film before all the steam and spinning lights. One of my favorite scenes is when the Nostromo and ore station are coming up to the gas giant and the multiple moons. To capture that look, I made the head the space scene adding the 3-D element of the Nostromo and Station as a sculpted piece. The rest of the custom toy was set up to reflect my next favorite part of the film, the exploration of the derelict spacecraft and the egg field. I had to rearrange a few items and change a little of the shape of some of the exploration suits. This suit is Kain's, using the yellow band as his designated color. Each of the egg sacks were hand sculpted and the based was colored to mimic the worm metal coloring of the pads of the space suit. I had a great time building this custom vinyl toy for the Vinyl Thoughts Art Show! Below are more pictures of this toy after the messages below. You can also see this toy on my deviantart page here.

Resin toy of the day: Intergalachicks!




About a year ago, I had made a small run of space themed chicken resin figurines that I had named, "Intergalachicks". I have finally got around to getting these chicks posted here on my website. The run of these two designs are very limited only having eight total castings of these toys. There are four bad guys and four good guys. The foul are cast in blue glow-in-the-dark pigments for the good version and orange glow-in-the-dark pigment for the bad guy themed bird. They are accented with hand painted acrylic paint application to accentuate their armor and technology. Lastly, they all have fluorescent paint for their eyes and a printed tag clear-coated to the bottom of each resin casting. 



O
These chickens are bright in blacklight! They are pumped full of GID pigment with some fun paint application. At this point, there are only 4 left. You can find them on my storenvy site for purchase.
You can also see them on my deviantart art gallery here.
