Alteration with epoxy sculpt and upholstery foam. Base is to have a pair of spikes on lower jawline on each side, has a crest, a mane, XL ears... tendrils off of his jawline.. Currently has LED eyes and has a custom dual canine (twice as many canine teeth) jawset readyto be molded and cast in resin. Original base is one of my Northern Dragon casts. Commission.

New feline sculpt that I was working upon for before the heat of the apt started to really soften the clay, so it's sitting in the fridge a while to harden up. Just placing it in my thumb went into the lower jaw -.- Will post pictures tomorrow when I can handle and refine it.

Extra shots of the wolf. Had to keep brushing snow flakes off of the mask while I shot photos.


Auction link will be posted shortly.

If it says "For sale" in the title, then it is for sale. If it says SOLD, then it is just that. Sold.

Someone wanted a closer shot of the Naalwood stock.

This compensated M9 was the type used by Leon in the Professional as well as By Selene in underworld 2 . Selene had two guns both black on black. Leon had two, one was black on black the other had a black slide and a silver grip frame.

Solid resin Copies of Selene's Berettas from Underworld.
I spent way too much time fussing with these, but they turned out allright I think. The barrels are real steel, the grips are removable with real screws and the barrel extension is scratch built.

A back cat head, gloves and tail set. We made this to auction at the AC art show, where it sold, although we hadn't had the chance to get any photos of it. This photo was taken by the owner.

Full outfit, made on commission. I had nearly complete artistic liberty with this one.

The sculpt for my new bird of prey/griff ish mask base. Its being done as a use-your-own-eyes mold but I can also alter it to do taxidermy eyes sometimes too. All ready for silicon and plaster : )

Sold

The NECA Street Fighter 4 Ryu was styled to look like the game but unfortunately that look isn't for everyone. I wanted a younger Ryu styled after his SF Alpha/Marvel vs Capcom 2 design. To create this custom Ryu I used a pvc minibust Ryu head and modded it to fit on the SF4 body. The gi was modded so it could be removed, pant ties added, and the bandana/gi belt were ball jointed to help showing motion in action poses. His Fireball was created from an old Iron Man base and pegs into the hands. All the joint holes were filled and resculpted and Ryu's update was done!

Want to own one of my customs? I put them up for auction the week they're created so check out what I'm currently offering here on Ebay: [link]

Only drinking the blood of criminals that stalk the streets, Morbius is a different vampire of sorts. He was made from a DC U Deadman body, Abin Sur head with Winter Soldier hair, Nightcrawler ears, sculpted eyes/goatee/teeth, hands from a harry potter dementor and feet from a UFC fighter. Turns out the UFC fighter feet are really nice for ML customs as they plug right in to most new figures. Here I had to remove the ankle hinge and modify it to fit a plug-in foot however. His cape was made from a Spawn figure bits and articulated so they could be removed or posed in different ways.

Burning his way out of the pages of the Spiderman comic comes one of the hottest villains, the Molten Man. He was made from a DCU Major Force head, spiderman classics Carnage body, and movie spawn hands. I used multiple metallic paints with various techniques and then filled in his burning inner core sections with different shades of yellow/orange. The back flames were from a FF movie human torch figure I believe. Now Molten Man is ready to torch the opposition!

The pecs are twice as thick as any have I done before because I wanted a nice deep chest

step one draw muscles on foam
step two cut muscles and shape them
step three place fur over muscles, pin into muscle creases
step four take care of wrinkles via pins and then hand sewing
step five machine sew hand sewn areas
step six place over muscles and carefully and thoroughly glue fur to foam being sure to use plenty of glue in the creases, at the creases place pins through fur into dummy to be sure glue sets well to both fur and foam for a firm bond
step seven glue on a backing to the foam that covers all the fur and foam
step eight machine sewn down the long center crease (I would sew all of the creases but I cannot fit in the machine, hell i hardly manage to sew the center one) bonding backing and fur and foam together
step nine remove enough stuffing from dummy for backing of abs to lay flat
step ten continue assembling fur around dummy as normal

and I need to darken the brown under the eye

but here is a sneek peek

I maaaaay have gone overkill on the whiskers, I will let the customer decide on if I should pluck some (I love them as-is though!) they did not pay for whiskers but I decided he REALLY needed them annnnnnd I have been wanting to try horsehair for whiskers and tested it on this and eeeeee they are like unbreakable compared to the fiber optic ones <3

i made a sort if master image of this costume that shows off most of the features

video of this in action before the wrinkles were fixed [link]

Is it just me or does he look kind of tiger-ish? He came out a bit more cat-like in the face. I am still adjusting the face of this pattern so each one keeps coming out a bit different. I have a few differnt ear shapes I've been playing with too. They definitely change the over all look. Oh and these wings are way better than the glued ones I made on the first guys. Much more professional looking and consistent with the rest of the dragon design

Oh and I guess he is technically a dice dragon! All the charms I have are pretty girly, and he is definitely a boy, so I made him a little dice charm. I just put some clay on top of a mini dice, baked it, and voila! Instant dice charm

The light blue is actually turquoise, but the stupid camera really didn't want to pick it up. It's actually very vibrant

Sewn by me from fleece fabric, about 8 inches tall
Sorry but I AM NOT SELLING THE PATTERN at this time.

I really had fun with this one. I loved the neon speckle fleece I found so I designed her around it. Her horns are actually lime green to match the spots (they are close in color to her pendant), and her spikes are white. I don't know why my camera sucks so much, but it really has trouble with greens for some reason -_-

I really wanted to paint markings around her eyes, but I wasn't sure of the best way to do it. I did a test with acrylics on fleece and while I like the control it offers, I hate the look and feel of it. I tried pastels, which look gorgeous, but they're messy! I wouldn't want it to rub off on people, or smudge... any suggestions on a good way to color on fleece but still keep it fairly soft and cuddly? I'd love to paint neat designs on these guys if I find a good way to do it

This is wee little William. He is quite small as you can see! I found some cool filigree embossed felt and decided I needed to make a fancy little dragon with it. He was tougher than the big guys, since the felt was pretty stiff and I had to hand sew most of him. Turning him inside out afterwards was very not fun also

I just love this little guy to pieces. Now I want to find more neat patterned fabric for my dragons!

William will be up for sale soon. Keep an eye on my journal for when I announce plushies going on sale.

Material: Felt, about 5.5 inches tall

I'm sorry but I am NOT SELLING THE PATTERN at this time.

TA-DA! After a month in the making, we have the most detailed "Vera" replica I've had the pleasure to build. Yes, there's some parts that aren't 100% accurate, but the budget didn't allow for that unfortunately. Maybe 3.0? Maybe made of metal? We'll have to see Until then, I hope the Firefly fans out there will appreciate the love that went into building this over a Nerf Recon (it still fires nerf darts without the suppressor on! bonus!)

The only metals parts are the brass tubing and the two bolts in the stock that have the nuts exposed....ok, that sounded bad...not sure how else to describe them, sry. lol

If you're looking for something like this or anything else outrageous, I'd love to hear from ya. I promise to exceed your expectations!


Feel free to download the photo and share it around! Or link back to here...yeah, do that, show dA some love too hehe

This was a little frankenstein fun I made by removing the stock short barrel and adding s lenth of PVC. I cut off the front site and the glued it to the front of the new barrel. I think it came out kinda cool and I will most likely be doing more to it before its done
