So here are may latest two mini figure sculpts. I worked up Mag Malicous on Saturday and Mas Mano on Sunday. These guys are destined for silicone and to be cast in rubber, ASAP.

Mag Malicious the Evil living Volcano




The Mysterious Mas Mano alien experiment gone wrong!




The pictures really don't do them justice, I suck at taking good pictures.

Here is a refernce pic for size (they stand right at 2 inches tall (kind of the new standard)


Comments/Critiques welcome...

I dig 'em.
What did you use to sculpt them?

PS: I am pumped that you're casting them in rubber.

I'm gonna presume that you used either a gloss finish nail polish, or a gloss acrylic to paint them with, after, to get that sheen?

Rad monsters! Mag reminds me of a chunkier Lavaman from Arco's Other World line:

Duplicolor vinyl paint- you can get it at O'Reilly's or Autozone, etc...

Wow! I have never seen that guy! Looks like my guy could eat him

Yup that's the plan, they will be soft urithane rubber (more like keshi) and I hope to capture a good MUSCLE flesh, as well as some flourescent colors and hopefulyl some clear gradients... I am working on a three pack the next one is in the works...

Interesting. I may have to try that out. I use a testors model acrylic, or nail polish/top coat.

My molds took a nasty turn last weekend
But undaunted I will be making more tomorrow... I did however get a nice, smoke-gray-clear Mas Mano out of the debacle...














Encouraged...

I really like the simple, but creative, design choice you made in making the hand's "feet" two more fingers; I've never seen that done before, but it makes perfect sense once you see it. Mas Mano looks particularly good transparent too.

I think the Mag Malicious would look really sweet if you dry-brushed some black/gray paint all over his surface, that way the recessed red areas will show through like lava fissures.

Here is my first Mag Malicious pull... He'll be red, but orange is what I had handy for the test shot...

[fkro6784]

Looking very cool! Or maybe I should say hot.
