Toy Art Gallery is going to be hosting a custom group show for the US debut of Max toy Co’s newest figure Alien Argus opening on February 26th. Mark sent me this awesome minty green blank to paint for the show that was so cool I almost didn’t want to paint it!
Super 7 is holding a show on January 29th and I was asked to participate. The rules were Super 7 or Gargamel toys, so I submitted the “Slick” mini Hedorah and another mini I’ll post tomorrow, along with these two that I whipped up, loosely inspired by Little Shop of Horrors. In this version, Audrey’s boyfriend the dentist turns into a robot and teams up with Audrey II the monster to kill Seymour and then they elope.
Update: The figures from the show are available now on the Super7 site! Looks like everyone has now sold! Thanks for your support.
Trying out some directional spray and different colors for a funky M1 Garamon.
Another Gargamel mini painted with Rolok Monster Kolor. This guy went off to the Super 7 One-Offs show!
With the completion of the Eyezon, I have assembled a full set (plus a duplicate) of Monster Kolor painted Max Toy minis. The Eyezon, metallic Xam, Tripus, Drazoran, and Eyezon are by me, the pink Xam is by Nagata, and the Maxx is by DP. Now I need to get one of every sculpt hand-painted by a different artist 😉 I have a flat-color Drazoran painted by Gatchabert, so that’s three sculpts down…
Gargamel mini based on a bootleg kaiju sculpt. Painted featuring Monster Kolor ‘Rolok’ colors as a test piece, which dry flat and have some more ‘stuff’ in them, so they don’t need sealer. The claws and details were painted with other MK colors and glossed, and the shiny and matte effect looks really neat on this guy.
This mini sculpt is based on the very rare vintage bootleg fullsize sculpt of one of the Somg Monster forms. I love the proportions and the stance, and the figure has some great texture.
I tried to really push my colors and sprays with this little guy. A trick that I’ve learned I can use is to bring up my highlights in white and then use a light squirt of clear colors to restore any fading. I used that on the body to re-saturate some of the colors that I thought were looking a little too light.
