I've reached my limit with Google!

Friday, I was posting the Hawkman action figure posting when I got a message saying that I was unable to put all three photos on the post due to reaching my data limit with blogger. The photos are a big part of my postings. In order to get more data, I need to buy a package and right now, I have to wait to get paid. I am thinking that I will use this situation as a break to catch up on some work and adjust to my new life schedule before I start posting new art, custom toys and action figures. I should be back to posting in two weeks. I thank you all for following and reading my postings on both this site and the Xenex the Bug Man site. Take care. 

All throughout the month of Movember, I'll be growing a mustache to raise awareness of prostate cancer and I'll be taking donations for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Do you want to donate?! Head on over to my Movember page to see photos of me struggling to make a blonde mustache show and to donate! 

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. 

The long awaited issue 4 is now up for order. It's a great looking comic book! Head on over to the Bug Man site and see what I'm talking about!

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! If you are interested in what we got, go to Marvindogmedia.com  and give us a listen.

Action Figure Friday- Hawkman (MOTU VS. DC)!


I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was splendid! To end this Hawkman week, I have...well,  Hawkman. Back in the beginning of this last Summer, I was in and out of the hospital due to illness. When I got in from the hospital I was met by one of my best friends, Jeff from the Talking Toys with Taylor and Jeff podcast. He had a wonderful gift of The Masters of the Universe vs. DC Classics -Hawkman vs, Stratos 2 pack. I will have to say, this has to be the best MOTU vs. DC 2 pack on the market today! This version of Hawkman is just like the DC classics Hawkman minus the sword and shield. Here is a listing of that Hawkman on Cool Toy Review. I didn't have a Hawkman action figure from the DC classics line so I didn't feel like I was doubling up on the same toy. The Stratos from that 2 pack is also equally awesome! But, I will feature that one on another day. 


Here's an Amazon listing for this action figure: Hawkman vs. Stratos 2 pack

Taylor's Toy Tuesday's DIY Custom- Hawkpony!


Hawkpony Toy by Taylor Lymbery
I will have to start off by saying that I did not think this custom pony would actually get finished. I had a lot of problems with this guy. In the end, he turned out great, but the road to the end was paved with a lot of redo. Some of the major problems that I faced was with paint coloring on the pants and the wings. For the pants, I used a gloss green for the legs and decided to then paint the red tights and boots onto the green. That was a bad idea. I ended up using several coats to get the red to not show any green from underneath. I definitely know now to not paint that red over that gloss green. Honestly, I should have known. The second problem was with the wings. I originally was just going to do wings that were folded up. After talking to a couple of people, I was convinced to do open wings that match the helmet. I got one open wing sculpted and baked. I then sculpted the second one, baked it and then saw that it did not match the first wing at all. So I sculpted another. Once the wings were done and painted, I then found that the wings didn't actually flush fit to the body anymore. I ended up using glue gun filler to fit the wings. It worked. Again, I honestly didn't think this pony would actually make it to posting, but it did. I would like to say that stubborn perseverance from me is what made this pony come to pass. Never give up! Never Surrender! Now, I've got some important updates, so more pictures will be at the end of this posting. Enjoy the pics. I've got to get back to illustrating comic books! :)

Sketch Card of the day- Hawkman!


Hawkman Sketch Card by Taylor Lymbery
This week will be a Hawkman kind of week. To start off this week, I have an older sketch card of the winged hero. Hawkman is a DC superhero who was created by Gardener Fox (writer) and Dennis Neville (artist). Several incarnations of Hawkman have appeared in DC Comics, all of them characterized by the use of archaic weaponry and by large, artificial wings, attached to a harness made from the special Nth metal that allows flight. Most incarnations of Hawkman work closely with a partner/romantic interest named Hawkgirl or Hawkwoman. When I was a kid, my best friend Stephan gave me his Super Powers Hawkman action figure. My Hawkman didn't have wings, but that did not keep me from flying him around. But anything about this character outside of me having an action figure of Hawkman was completely unknown to me as a kid. In all honestly, I should read more comics with Hawkman in them. There is one story I am looking forward to getting my hands on where Hawkman and Adam Strange, one of my favorite characters, team up to end a war between the Rann's and Thanagar's inhabitants. I've heard that it is just ok, but it has such a heavy hand of science fiction that I can't pass it up. I hope it doesn't disappoint. You can also see this sketch card here in my devianart gallery.
