Well, it’s been a long slog to get this gal done, but she is off in the mail to the factory and I can’t be more relieved. For those of you who bought La Brea, I’m particularly pleased with the amount of sculpting improvement I’ve worked towards since that first release, so I hope this one sees just as much success in 2012. :)

Just a little teaser collage…hope to share painted prototype photos soon!

Preorders are now open!

Coming Soon…

I normally don’t post work like this, but I thought I’d share a pic of an intermediate “step” in making my figurines…

…Okay, let’s never do that again. >_<

I’m taking the final photos of a new finished little gal (a baby Shire horse!) and this cat above, which no longer looks quite as…oddly lumpy. Hope folks enjoy them. :) Since they’re cast in the US, I’m expecting them to be available for general purchasing by October or so, but preorders for both are already open in the store. Preorders always help pay for mold-making costs!

Summer Time Peaches

Open now for preorders!

This is a cute design by the artist known as “Miu,” of his character Peaches in cute summer wear. Ironically we’re looking at probably a Winter 2010 arrival of this figure due to manufacturing times and all, but hey! What better time for a spot of color and thoughts of summer?

Preorders open, see [LINK]

Centaur in the Making

From top, left to right:

1. I originally started this off on a small plastic Breyer stablemate. Annoyingly (which is why I don’t often start with the body first), the head got a little too big for the body.
2. My new, larger horse body arrives in the mail! Her tail’s broken off, but I was going to make a new one anyways, so that’s fine. I started adding a little clay to smooth out her contours.
3. Sawing away at the neck. At this point her skull wasn’t tall enough either.
4. Horse’s head chopped off, mane also sawed off and gaps filled in (more bulk added to the body too). I made a rough foil ‘torso’ and superglued it onto the shoulders before covering it in clay.
5. After coating with clay, boobs and shoulders and neck details added. Head was also attached and made a bit taller.
6. First tail. Also, bun in hair.
7. RAAAARRRGH
8. There’s the second tail, which I still wasn’t happy with (the first tail with more hair overlaid on top of it, basically). Also, um, dismemberment.
9. A shorter, narrower-shouldered torso and a new tail (#3) later! Ahhhhh. <|D

FIN

More news on this project coming soon. :)
