Rotund for Me – Thanks Cris & ToyCyte

runcible

I recently won a CustoMonday contest at ToyCyte.com sponsored by Cris Rose. If your not already familiar with either Rose’s original Runcibles and Rotunds or his one-off customs, these pieces show an amazing attention to detail, often sell out, and are much sought after. For this contest, Cris offered up a unique colorway of his Glow-in-the-dark Radioactive Rotund to the person who came up with the most interesting and thought provoking response to the questions:

  • What will mankind’s reaction be once intelligent robots demand equality and human rights? and
  • Would an intelligent robot ever believe in God?

…and that person was me. See the original post to find out more about Cris Rose as well as to see some of Cris’s work and read all of the awesome comment responses to this contest.

Pheydenite and the Sucklorian

sucklorianpheydenite

Matt at Onell Design posted some pictures of the original frozen in carbonite Pheyden I made for him (dubbed the “Pheydenite”) next to his custom companion piece, the Sucklorian. Any thoughts I had that the frozen Pheyden was kind of cool pale in comparison to how amazing Matt’s homage to Boba Fett came out.

Resin Casted Carbonite Pheydens

I wanted some practice with resin before casting the Bog Monster so I made six duplicates of my original Carbonite Pheyden, I have some ideas on what I’m going to do with them but keep an eye out for the post after I paint them for more info.

Phantom Limb Exellis

I got the idea for this custom from the remark of another Onell collector that unfinished Onell figs look like Phantom Limb from the Venture Bros. I couldn’t work in all the detail of the character but I think I got the gist of it.

Resculpted Bog

I decided that the old Bog sculpt looked too static and would not be as customizable as I want it to be so I resculpted it. I made the body more cartoonish and added a lot more bend to make it look like it’s walking/flowing/lunging forward. I will hopefully get to the poseable arms soon. Also, a quick mock up of an initial colorway.
