[video] I asked @EthanVanSciver of anyone had made some good chibi Cyber Frog art. He said "God I hope not" Well sorry pal, I had a turn around made and made a prototype lil Cyber Frog toy. About the same size as Fisher Price Little People. I'm looking forward to making a V2 and fixing

[video] 🚨🚨🚨 BASED ART UPDATE!! 🚨🚨🚨 I HAVE GOTTEN THE OFFICIAL LICENSE FOR CHIBI CYBERFROG! Digital render with paint scheme below (eyes will be air brushed and yellow/blue will be toned back) after my announcement video! Thank you @EthanVanSciver for this opportunity to work

[text] I don't know if you guys know who Peter Simeti and Alterna are but, sounds like it's the last year for him in comics. One of his biggest names and creators just bowed out of finishing one of his books and wants all his back log of books pulled from the catalog. This hits me

[image] Chibi CyberFrog Update! Look at this little dude! Tried two different sized (3.5" Left / Monster Can / 2.75" Right) 3.5"-4" will be the final size for the initial art toy run. Gacha and Keychain will be 2". Initial run will be mono pose resin. Follow up runs will hopefully be

[video] My dad got our first draft of the DIY rotocasting machine built and functioning. This will allow me to cast hollow polyurethane toys in small runs. We will scale and build with better materials once this process itself. Yes he does taxidermy and I do too in the winters lol

[video] Alright so, life has been crazy for me and seems like we are just continuing to shift gears and ramp up to more crazy! So here is a preview of @ScribeComics Heavy Atomo prototype toy I am working on! He is working on a comic book with @BenHerrera01 slated to drop into crowd

[image] Looking forward to redoing Chibi Frog and getting less/no defects so I can move him forward in the process. What other characters and creators should I reach out to? Would you prefer a keychain or Minifigures?

[video] 🚨🚨🚨 Road to Chibi Cyber Frog: Paint Test! 🚨 🚨 🚨 Little video of me painting the prototype figure! Lots of imperfections but rolling with it is part of the fun of learning! My painting skills need more brushing up but I'm quite happy with the result! First resin run will
