looks very nice indeed, I think I seen this one when I went to put my stuff on the art show :D

How the HELL did I miss you at the Con this year?! I only managed to walk through the Artists Alley once and it was so crowded and congested that it's a wonder anyone was able to fine anybody else! Can't let that happen again!

was on the AAlley just on the saturday, one day, cantlive to be there all days for the full bang x_x

but one thing is sure, I visited the artshow quite a bit :>

Ahh, that explains some of it. I stayed at the table all day Saturday. I figure MOST of the people who'r gonna attend the Con for one day will be there Saturday so I try to be at the table the full day. And, as fer the Art Show, I'll bet we bumped into each other several times and didn't know it. (yer not the guy who threw an axe at me are you?)

nah, im way too shy to do so o_O

Whew, that's a relief!!! I still have it and I'm hoping to trade it back to that guy for the Confederate Bowie I threw at him! (unfortunately, mine stuck and I don't know how far he got!!!) Well, anyway, no worries about THAT for next year!!!

It looks so real :o
*drools* think I can touch it?

Glad ya like it!! Yeah, this is something you CAN actually touch!! (and fondle and feel up and play with!)

this is ultra cute

Thaaaaaaaank ya!! Glad ya like it!

your style translates into 3d really well

YOU can see that!! Yeah, I sort'a sculpt like I draw. (yeah, I know, it's not that simple) but, the final image does sort of have the same lines. Glad ya like it!

I agree with artdecade and looks like a very fine work.

Thank ya Sir! You may not agree, but I think we have something in common when it comes to the way we render our characters. Your stuff hits me on a subtle, more personal level.

heh weird, I wonder what is it?

oh also its very interesting how you solved the feet anatomy, since the feet(?) of bulls are mostly nails.
(words may be not correct? I'm not english talker)

You're not the first one to notice my Minotaur feet. But, that design concept is not entirely my own. Someone, (I'll find out who!!) did a cover illustration and interrior line drawings for a Thomas Burnett Swann story about a Minotaur that I still have but can't remember the title of either (and I'll find that out too!) Anyway, that's where I first saw a Minotaurs feet drawn like that and it make perfect sense to me at the time!

HOT~! HOT~! HOT!~

I want one!

TORO

You Again!

So glad you like it!! I'm gonna post a journal about the original kit so you'll know more about it. Check that out. Thanks again!!!

WOw this guy is very cool! Great job on all the muscle, but the detail in the face is really excelent and cool! He is a very handsome bull! I really like the way you have done the feet as well! A lean mean horn machine!

Well, once again, comming from you that's high praise indeed! Yeah, I really like him in this sling too. It looks soooooooooooooooo easy to get off him!!!! Thaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!!!

*jawdrop*
*tongueunfurl*
That's just amazing >.<
*goes to pick up his bodyparts*

Now, don't you go all to pieces! Glad ya like it!!!

Don't worry.. I got the extended guarantee :D
And I do.. indeed.. verily!

Good to hear it!! (You didn't get the Dell batteries with that package did you?!) Thanks again!!

What?!
I'm a feline, not a bunny! I don't run on batteries! *looks theatrically shocked*

Wow! I completely forgot about that too! Yeah, I wonder if anyone will do a drawing of that rabbit with flames shootin'out his ass and his cheeks melting all over his big feet! Sorry for the misunderstanding. I can see as plain as anyone you're a Dragon!!! (just KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDING!!!!)

In that case I'm only half a dragon.. I can only shoot fire from one end :P (American Dragon reference)

OOOOHHHHHH MAAAAAAAAANNN, I ain't touchin' THAT one! (Mighty Funny, though!!)

Your photos of the WIP are as fascinating to look at as the finished product, 'Rat. Why not share a few of 'em?

Thank ya Sir! Yeah, that's a good idea! It'll give folks a better idea of what it takes to put these things together.

Oooo! Love it!

Thank ya Sir!! Glad ya like it!!!

great sculpture

Thank you too,Sir!! Glad you like it, especially!!!

Hmm... awsome sculpture there. I love the pose and the expression. very fluid pose!

You are definitely quite the tallented artist... surprising us at every turn! ;P

Why, thank ya,Sir! Yeah, I like to think I'm verrry versitle! Rats often do show up in places you least expect them!!! (not always the plesantest of thoughts!) Glad ya like it!!

Wow, oh, wow! The detail is mind blowing! O_O!!!!!!!!!!

*claps*

Glad you like the kit but I'm a little surprised you'd enjoy the subject. You must be a model builder or kitter and have some idea of what's involved in the process!

Awesome! =D

Thank ya! Glad ya like it!!

Wow thats good I like it.

Thank ya,Sir! I'm hoping to do more but it's tooooooo much damn work!!

Hey, was that originally an action figure, or did you make it from scratch? How did you make it exactly? It looks so very cool, and i want to play around and try to make something like this (i expect very poor quality:P)

Sorry, I missed this posting! This is a scratch built Garage-Kit I sculpted and cast over three years ago. I've been planing on posting a pic of the original kit but, with all the other artwork I'm tryin' to stay on top of(and the fact that most furries don't have the cash to pay for a kit like this-let alone be able to build it) it's not a big priority. My next one is gonna be more Si-Fi (if I can find the time for it) and, hopefully, that'll sell better!!

I've been wanting to have a try at sculpting for a long time, but i just can't find the mterials (so i make due with 3D instead). How much do you charge people for these? Most furries may not have enough cash, but i'm sure they are ready to give everything away if you start doing garage kits of their characters:)

Unlike the days when I had to search all over hell's half acre and send away for materials, a lot of the bigger, better art-supply stores sell all the sculpting and casting materials you need to do Garage kitting now. If you have any Pearl art-supply stores near you, they have most of what you'll need! And as for what the public will buy: there's no practical way in hell to do a resin-cast kit of someones character and make any money on a one shot basis, unless they aren't really Furries and actually have money! I've noticed that a few sculptors are doing some character commissions on a "one-shot", basis using Sculpy, and that's a possibility, but I've no idea how much they're charging for their work. And another thing: none of the explicit sexual stuff they're doing on this one-shot basis is gonna last very long. Face it, once the buyer's had it for as long as they want it,or can keep it, it's gotta be destroyed of disposed of in some other way because of its "content". If yer interested in the one-shot process of doing characters that's probably the BEST way to make money! But, if yer thinkin' of casting resin kits for people to build, a whole different set of priorities comes into play!!!

Sadly, they don't have any of these stores where i live, so i have to go to this place called "the artist union", where they sell all the top quality stuff. And yeah, i was talking about one-shot sculpey stuff, and i've heard it was the best way to make money, but i just don't have experience with that kind of stuff. And if i had an explicitly sexual thing, i'd never throw it away eventually, i would rather go buy a safe:P

Wow, nice muscling on that guy- how long did it take in full to create?

Opps, sorry for the slow turnaround! I can't remember exactly, but the original sculpt of this kit took about two weeks. That was the fun part! Casting the kit in resin was a BITCH, and the subsequent sales didn't warrant doing another kit like it. This fellow in this pic was modified from the original kit and I've been tempted to do another one but, since then, I've done a nude of him and that's enough!!

Cool, I didn't know you could get casting kits, where do you find those buggers?

*Laughs!* Well, when I did this guy nobody sold "kits", except maybe for small jewelry type casting. You had to buy or order the materials from places that supplied industry or the movie special effects houses and, it was allllllllllll expensive!! I think there are several outfits that make "kits", with materials for specific types of casting but you gotta check around your local art supply stores to see if they stock them or if you have to order them. One company I've used for the molding silicone is called SMOOTH ON, and if you google them there might be information on where they have supplies near you.
