Dragon Dunny Customs

Finally dusted these guys off the shelf and completed them today. They still reek of clear coat as of picture time. These little miscreants are the result of experimentation which resulted in the creation of my Message Board Custom #9 Chinese Dragon. It was very pleasing creating and experimenting with these because not a lot of thought went into the process and development. My mind sort of went auto-pilot and my hands sculpted and pieced the pieces together to end up with the final results. They weren't originally going to go to some owners but a couple of nice board members needed a friend to go their way. Blue is going to Felix Jackson because he got forgotten in Message Board Trade #9, Green will go to Shujing-Fantasy for correctly guessing the subject of my custom for Mini-Munny Trade #2, and Black will go to SoldierPnoy as a commission. Enjoy!

Simian Samurai

So here is my first MadL custom. I call him Simian Samurai and he was customized especially for the Delicious Drips Me MadL Custom Show coming up this friday. He stands in his glorious 10inches of grandeur with katana in hand and a tail to match. Not only is this my first MadL, it is also my first time using liquitex acrylic paint for a multi-color project. Though it was a pain to apply and use for my first time, I'm quite happy with the experience and plan on practicing on some unsuspecting 3" dunnys to perfect my craft. I researched several classical samurai paintings to help get the idea for the armor and color. Even though there are a bunch of things that could be improved, I enjoyed creating this because it was fun and I was able to take my customizing to a new direction! Enjoy!

Toilet Terror!

This is my recent custom made especially for the Montreal Munny-Monster Invasion Show set for this weekend of October the 25th. I sent in a munny version of the toilet customs I do, and dunny (with ears cut off) friend that comes out. Yes the plunger is filthy. The swirl designs are supposed to be like the skeleton as with the black and white color option. The hinge job is a different change from what I've done in the past. It seems a lot cleaner even with the protrusion at the back of the head. Also this marks the first time I'm using professional acrylic paints. It seemed a lot easier to do the fine lines once I got the hang of it.
I was scared of a lot of things when I was growing up. The most I was scared of was that little toilet demon from the movie "Ghoulies". You remember that, if not look it up on google, it came out sometime mid 80's. That's what this custom pays homage to, our young imaginations and the images and thoughts that play with our heads during that time. Enjoy!

Dunny Dunny

This should have been posted over a month ago, but I don't know why I waited. Here's my 8 inch Dunny Dunny custom for the Coalesce New York show, which premiered at the beginning of September. This was a collab piece with Brian Colin aka Codedecoinc. He completed his part by creating the monster that emerges from the toilet shown in the picture on the bottom. Great job Brian and thanks!!! He's on sale here for $250 if anyone is interested....www.coalescecustomvinylshow.blogspot.com.
The hingework delayed me a bit when creating this custom but I made it work. Also the toilet seat is too thin, which I'll have to fix that for the next time I do a custom like this. Overall, I enjoyed doing this custom. It was easier doing all the lines as opposed to the original 3 inch custom I did. Look out in the future when I do a munny version of this for the the Montreal Munny Monster show with my own monster emerging from the bowl!

Message Board Custom Trade Series 9

Message Board Custom Dunny Trade Series 9 is here.  I'm not supposed to post pics of my piece until my tradee receives it but oh well.  It's not really showing it on the message boards though.  Anyone who wants a sneak peek would have to look at this blog.  Well, I ended up doing a dragon this time.  Came out really well.  I know that the sculpting doesn't look all that clean, but I was trying to go for the woodcut look.  Much thanks go out to my photographer sister-in-law who took these professional pics of the piece.  Makes it look a lot better than the iphone camera or old digital camera that I have.  A couple of things... I was going to extend the neck but held out for the next time.  I will be making a larger version of this for the Premier Vinyl Customs Show (PVC) coming up in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.  Make sure you look out for that one.  I'm also planning to make a custom scroll box for this before I send it out next monday.  I'll post pics of that once I'm done!  Enjoy!
