Last week's SF Godzillafest was fun! I love how many different kinds of people are into Godzilla these days. Thank you to everyone who came by and took the time to talk to me or buy my weird stuff 😊

I still can't believe I got to make something like this.

This is a personal project I made for Maggie Tokuda-Hall @maggietokudahall.bsky.social , who is one of my favorite writers, based on her book "Love In The Library", illustrated by Yas Imamura @yasimamura.bsky.social . Of everything I've made, I'm especially proud of this.

Although I don't make decisions about the articulation, it's always a privilege to work on a 100% new sculpt, especially when it is based on a look with a specific art style. I think this is planned for release later this year, in a two-pack with Luna Snow.

Venom comes with Jeff the Land Shark, who I did not work on but is very cute. Thank you Daniele di Nicuolo @dinicuolo.bsky.social and Kelly Thompson @kellythompson.bsky.social for creating this weird little guy!

Digital render of Venom action figure shown in a beige material from the front view on a grey background. Venom is a jacked alien with a raised spider symbol on his torso, and he has a big toothy smile that extends to most of his face. He has a long tongue and a couple symbiote tendrils swirling around his body.

There are other Zoids that I would have preferred over the Shield Liger, but this makes sense as their flagship crossover figure. Pleasantly surprised to find the ports are compatible with old Zoids parts too!

This is the second figure I am bringing to Wonder Festival- an original mecha I am calling 唐龍門- the TANG LONG GATE, or とうりゅうもん. It's based on an idea I had of the Dragon Gate in San Francisco's Chinatown celebrating and protecting its residents. Table 3-16-05 #art #wf2026w

Officially licensed by Tsuburaya Productions. It is an unpainted and unassembled resin kit, standing ~26.5 cm tall and 28 cm long (31 parts total). Castings are done by Horizing (horizing.ocnk.net). Paint master and photos also by me! #WF2026W #art

Photo of a painted prototype of Dodongo, a winged kirin-like creature from Ultraman (1966 television series). The figure is greenish-blue with chunky, clawed feet, large spiraling horns, and a dragon-like face. The body sports a bumpy Red King-like texture, and the body is covered in gold flames. Dodongo is posed in a trotting stance with the right foreleg and left hindleg raised. Its mouth is slightly open. Photo from the right 3/4 angle, next to an action figure of Ultraman looking up.

Brown Costume Wolverine. This is the first Wolverine I've ever gotten to sculpt! An all-new figure minus the hands. #art

Digital render of a sculpted Wolverine action figure for Marvel Legends, depicting his brown costume cameo appearance in the Wolverine/Deadpool movie. He wears a body suit with bare arms, and the body areas have a mesh-like texture. The boots are smooth, and the belt has a leather texture. The figure is shown in a grey color, standing at a slightly 3/4" view on a raised platform.

Promotional photo of painted Wolverine action figure prototype taken from a straight-on front view. The figure's costume is brown and tan (though slightly more yellow than tan), and the belt is a dark red with silver buckle. Four accessories are also shown beside the figure; an unmasked cowl, two un-clawed hands, and a neck with the area above the collar sculpted and painted to resemble a bare neck, without the bodysuit.

Some new parts I did for the recent Amora the Enchantress figure. Sculpted the hair, arms, lower torso, skirt, and magic effect piece. #art

Her hair is waist length, and she is standing on a platform seen from a slightly off-center angle. There is a floating spiral-shaped magic effect beside her with skull shapes. The figure is shown in a pale ivory color, while the platform and background are grey.

Her tunic, skirt, sleeves, and headdress are green, and her legs are painted to resemble black leggings with a repeating light green circle pattern along the front. Her hair is blonde and she is posed to resemble casting a spell at the viewer, with the translucent green energy effect circling around her right hand which is outstretched.

Pre-orders open (in Japan) for my Wargreymon Godzilla!!! Something I made is on P-Bandai 😄

Promo image of TOHO DAIKAIJUU SERIES Wargreymon G: Erosion Mode figure from the Godzilla Vs Digimon COLOR collaboration. Photo of the figure from the right side, along with some detail shots of various angles, accompany a brief description that approximately translates to: "Wargreymon: 'G'-Erosion Mode" Makes An Appearance in the Toho Daikaiju Series!
For the "Godzilla Vs Digimon COLOR" collaboration, celebrating Godzilla's 70th Anniversary, [Wargreymon] Appears! This form, caused by corrosion of G-Cells, has been made in 3D, with an overall height of 26 cm.
Of course, Godzilla's skin and dorsal fins, and Wargreymon's armor and round and cute eye, have all been meticulously sculpted [by me 😄]
According to the viewing angle, the impression changes greatly, so please look forward to seeing it from various angles!
Don't miss out on Wargreymon's new form, only seen in this collaboration project!"

Mickey and Minnie Snowglobe. The overall height to the top of the dome is around 4". This piece is apparently called the "Santa Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Fantasyland Castle Holiday Snowglobe", which is very long but kind of fun to try and say as fast as possible. #art

Monochrome render of digitally sculpted Mickey and Minnie figures wearing Santa hats and holding cups of hot cocoa. Minnie's right leg is bent with her toe touching the ground, while Mickey's left foot is extended with the end of his boot pointed up. There is a stylized mini castle behind them, and they are standing on a circular base.

For Disney Parks, to commemorate Toy Story's 30th Anniversary. There were pretty good starting 3D models with this one, so it was definitely more moving things around and remaking than sculpting from scratch. But still, getting something to the finish line is always good.

Digital render of sculpted Buzz and Woody characters shown in a beige color. Buzz has his hands on his hips and is smiling with one eyebrow raised. Woody has his hands holding his belt and is tilting his head the opposite direction. Figures are shown about from the waist up.

Extremis Iron Man (just the torso and unmasked head) that I sculpted for Marvel Legends. Really focused on improving the range of motion on this one! #art

Digital render of sculpted Extremis Iron Man figure with unmasked headsculpt. The head is wearing a skintight covering that shows the face of a serious-looking Tony Stark. The head and torso are shown in a slightly warmer and brighter shade of grey than the limbs, and we are seeing the figure from the front right 3/4 angle.

Product photo of painted Extremis Iron Man with the unmasked head on, holding the helmet in front of his body. The head covering is black, and the armor is the usual red and yellow Iron Man colors against a black background.

Seen from the back view, there are many circular and mechanical details depicting the armor which is mostly curved lines rather than sharp angles. The head and torso are shown in a slightly warmer and brighter shade of grey than the limbs.

Doing some overdue portfolio updates the next few days. Here is the 8.5" figure I sculpted for Disney Parks, to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Mickey Mouse Club TV show.

Maybe my favorite thing I've ever made. I worked with X-Plus to create this Digimon and Godzilla collaboration figure, Wargreymon: G-Erosion Mode, for the Toho Daikaiju Series!

Photo of a painted figure of Wargreymon and Godzilla combined. Wargreymon's left side is morphing into Godzilla. The chest armor is bursting open from the surging pink Godzilla energy. Wargreymon's face is turning into Godzilla's face, and the head armor is being broken apart by a pink crystal horn. The left shoulder and elbow also have crystals emerging from them, and parts of Wargreymon's legs are disappearing in a digital mosaic pattern to reveal the bumpy Godzilla skin underneath. The figure stands in a wide stance with head reared back and mouth open. Picture is taken from a nearly front angle, showing a sliver of the Godzilla eye on the left side of the head.

Underneath the helmet, Godzilla's head is gradually morphing into Wargreymon's orange skin as it moves towards the front of the mouth.

Good luck on their prehistorical journey! I’m sure there are more up to date books with more modern art styles out there, but I loved this one (also apparently available in its entirety on the Internet Archive)

Cover of Macmillan Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animals. Color paintings of a theropod, ceratopsian, dimetrodon, weird old fish, and wrinkly mammal on navy background!

Book opened to a page of prehistoric marine reptiles. Possibly watercolor paintings of kronosaurus and various plesiosaurs hanging out against a white background labeled with their respective scientific names

Also, @pepelarraz.bsky.social is a genius and his version of Doom is amazing.

Two comic panels from "Blood Hunt #5" (2024) by Jed Mackay (writing) and Pepe Larraz (pencils). The Avengers look up with despair, dwarfed by the foreboding image of Doctor Doom, projected in green large block letters that read DOOM.

I only sculpted the new parts-- head, cape, and skirt. But, I've never made a Doctor Doom (or any F4 character) before!

Here are my original Toybiz War Machine vs Megaman figures (thanks mom 😭). The second one is a custom of this exact version of the character that I started but didn't finish when I was a teenager... I've wanted to make this figure for about as long as I can remember!
