Greetings, my Friends. I'm very happy to share
with you my first painted piece of the year 2015. It's a piece that
I've been eager to paint for nearly three years. Sculptor Dominic Qwek
originally released a smaller version of this Hopper bust back in early
2012, and I waited around long enough for him to release a larger
version of the same piece to do so.
This larger version measures 7.5" at the top of the head, not counting
the antennae which put the total height at 9.5". This larger version is
about twice the size of the smaller piece that Dominic released in 2012.
It will be available very soon, and if you're fortunate enough to
attend the upcoming Monsterpalooza show in Burbank, CA., you'll have the
opportunity to snag one of these and see the other amazing creatures
that Dominic Qwek will have available at there. Thanks for having a
look, and Happy New Year!
It's been a while since I've posted any pictures of unpainted, un-assembled resin kits, so I'll start things back up with an interesting gem from Japan called Man Grasshopper with Spider. This 1/6 scale resin kit is sculpted by Keisuke Yoneyama, and produced by Hellpainter.
First let me start off by saying that if you're interested in bizarre, science fiction and horror based original designs, and have not heard of Hellpainter from Japan, then visit their website, like... yesterday: http://hellpainter.com/
Sculptor Keisuke Yoneyama is a fantastic artist as you will clearly see from the pictures posted below. The delicate manner in which he fleshed out this character with it's organic, bone-like forms and chitinous armor flowing throughout is quite impressive, and his style very much reminds me of the work of Master sculptor, Takayuki Takeya. In fact, this piece very much reminds me of a piece released from Fewture Models in 1994 called, Pusher Hopper: http://thesepulcher.blogspot.com/2009/12/fewture-metamorphosis-addict-1-hopper.html
I could ramble on and on about how much I enjoy this piece, but I'll simply let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy.

While I don't do a lot of paint commissions for other's, those that I do accept tend to be of the same subject matter that I myself am very fond of. I consider myself quite lucky to be called upon to do such things, and my most recent paint commission, King Thalidomidas, is one of which I'm very fond, indeed. Sculpted by Paul Komoda, and produced by Artist Proof Studio.
This is the second casting of King Thalidomidas that I've had the pleasure of painting. As opposed to the previous Thalidomidas casting that I painted, which was very fleshy and warm, I chose to use more cool tones with this casting; referencing some of the colors which the late H.R. Giger applied to his paintings, as well as some used in the paintings made by Paul Komoda.
Thank you for stopping by to look. Enjoy!
