Sketch Card of the Day- Skeletor!

Skeletor or Ole' bone head! There are not too many people in the world who do not know the name, "Skeletor". When the 200X series of action figures hit the market, I was extremely excited about the new design that Skeletor rocked. He looked so cruel and evil. I liked him a lot when I was a kid, but due to his new design, he won my heart in 2002. If you know the 200X design well, you should understand what I am saying. So this piece is an older sketch card that I did way back a year or so based on the 2002 toy of Skeletor. You can also see this piece in my deviantart gallery here. 

Big news! I've been invited to be one of the many talented artist to have work featured in a one night vinyl toy show called, "Vinyl Thoughts 4: Free for All" in Dallas on September 12th 2013. If you plan to be in the area, stop by and check out all of the cool custom vinyl toys. 

I'm scheduled to be on the DELol show on Sunday July 21st to have a good old fashioned "Throw down in the toy isle" toy quiz compatition between Jeff and I. You need to tune in to the DELol show that Sunday. It will be fun!

I did buy a table for the Dallas Comic Con: Fan Days on October 4th-6th. If you are wanting a pre-Fan Days commission, let me know and I'll get it ready for pick up at that show. 

Issue 5 of Xenex the Bug Man is available on indyplanet.com! I have all Xenex the Bug Man comic books available for print on demand. You can see that listing here on my store's tab for comic books. 

I have posted some new shirt designs in my Cafepress store. Head over to my Cafepress store and get a shirt or a couple! 

Just to let you know all know, I am taking commissions. If you would like to commission me for original artwork, head over to the commissions tab in store to see how. 

If you have not heard about the Podcast called, "Talking Toys with Taylor and Jeff", then it's time I let you know! Jeff and I are on the show where we talk about toys! (Go figure, I mean Go action figure!) Seems simple enough. We pick out a toy line to discuss in each show. We share our childhood memories, our favorite five, and talk about the one toy in the line that got away. Jeff talks about how he cherished his toys and I talk about how they ended up in the garden! The other two shows are The pilot episode, where Jeff and Josh Taylor break down the Pilot Episode in TV series, and The Loosely Based Podcast where Brynna and Jeff compare the book to the movie adaptation! The shows are great!

Pin-up of the Day- Master Chief's Creed!

Master Chief's Creed by Taylor Lymbery

The Dallas Comic Con on May 17-19th is right around the corner! I'm finishing early commissions for that show. My first big one was, "The Walking Saboteur". The second big commission request was from Monty at the Darth Mall vintage toy store. He wanted a mash up of two of his favorite characters, Master Chief from Halo 4 and Conner from Assassin's Creed 3. When I saw the helmet that Master Chief has in the new game, I almost didn't think I could pull this commission off. It's pretty detailed, but once I got the main shape structure penciled in, the detail seemed to ink in naturally. After the water color and ink washes dried, I went back with a while paint marker and added all of the (what I call) etherial data that can be seen in the background mist when someone dies in Assassin's Creed. I'm not exactly sure what to call it. I've never finished playing through the first Assassin's Creed.  From what I have been told by my friend Matt over at Video Game Hangover is that I really should find the time to play through all of the games. We'll see. I know I would enjoy them, I just have to find the time. You can also see this piece here to go to my deviantart account. 

I purchased a table for the Dallas Comic Con in May. I look forward to seeing all of the familiar faces and hopefully some new people stopping by to chat with us. 

I have posted some new shirt designs in my Cafepress store. Head over to my Cafepress store and get a shirt or a couple!

Action Figure Friday- MOTU- Roton!

I'm going classic today with a true classic in the vintage Masters of the Universe toy line. Today, I bring you the mighty evil sawing vehicle, Roton! Let me just start off by saying this, I loved this toy. At one point I had two of these vehicles. I'm not exactly sure why, but I did. For me, I could put just about any sized action figure in this thing and it would work in my play scenarios. I remember that I could fit about four to fives G.I.Joes in there to saw their way into a Cobra camp, or vice versa. Now, let me also say this, my Dad hated this toy because it made this awful clicking noise every time it moved forwards or backwards on its hidden wheel. Did I mention how much I loved playing with this thing? I remember times when I would try and push this toy across the carpeted floor right next to my Dad's orange lounge chair while he watched his shows. Some times, I would put one hand in each of the two Rotons and walk-push them across the floor right next to his chair, again, while he watched his stories. I also remember him taking the toy/toys away till his show was over. Seriously, if you did not see that one coming, you don't know the annoying power of this noise maker. It's really loud. This is the only version of this toy made. There was a model of this vehicle made that had a face shield attached to it. I've personally never seen one of these models in person and I don't think I ever will. Now, I doubt that Mattel will ever make this in the Classics toy line due to the "under" success of the Wind Raider that they put to market about a year ago. But, If they were to make this thing in the Classics scale, I would totally be on board to buy one for my collection. Hell, I might even buy two, for old time's sake.
