Been way too long since i did a custom but was invited to participate in the Icons show organised by The Hang Gang that takes place in Leeds tonight. My 400% Be@rBrick, entitled Pointy Bastard was lovingly-so named because of the number of times i stabbed myself on his spikes when sanding or attempting to hold him to spray him.
The Bearbrick features a new insane head sculpt, new arm sculpting and some drips on the body, all made with Milliput expoxy Resin and was then sprayed (no masking for once - inspired by seeing Skinner and L'Amour Supreme Painting freehand at NYCC) with Golden Fluid Acrylics thinned for airbrush. Really pleased with the way he turned out, i could have spent another week or 2 sanding him to perfection, but that's just cos i like my customs to look like production and i'm no good at sculpting so i prefer to carve and sand out the design from the lumps of milliput i whack on. I'll post up some WIP shots sometime and you can see the very unprofessional manner in which this custom was born!
