BLACK METAL BUDDIES DEBUT!

That's right folks, My line of Black Metal Buddies mini-figures make their debut today with the first figure in the series, Abyss! Abyss is the front man for the Norwegian Black Metal Band, Darkest Throne (Not to be confused with the actual band, Dark Throne) He is a resin figure hand sculpted, hand cast, hand painted by yours truly, and limited to seven pieces. He stands 2.5" tall and comes hand numbered with a signed header card I designed. Since all seven pieces are hand painted with some post production sculpt modifications here and there, no two figures are exactly alike. Special shout out to by boy Plex, of Donkey Jaw Projects for the constant support and encouragement. Figure two is currently nearing completion in the sculpting stage, stay tuned for a release date... You can get your very own Abyss figure by visiting our official store. Thanks for looking!

An Abyss Army!!

Hey Guys, Just wanted to post a few 'work in progress' shots of my Abyss figure. Hope you enjoy the pics, the figure release is looking to be ahead of schedule. Keep coming back to us for updates, and thanks again for stopping by.
*Please excuse my crappy photography skills :)

Molding, And Casting, And Crap, Oh My!

Everyone has got to start somewhere, That's why I've  decided to post the (quite frankly) embarrassing results of my first attempts at molding and casting. I failed to pay attention to the little things i should have, and the result was an odd collection of Venus Di Milo like figures. The sculpt shown is actually the second figure in my soon to be released, Black Metal Buddies line. Enjoy your naughty little sneak peak ;) And stop laughing at Me!!

*Products used were Smooth-On Silicone Rubber (OO MOO) and Smooth Cas 300-Liquid Plastic.
After finally learning how to use the products correctly, i highly recommend picking them up for yourself at http://www.smooth-on.com
