Galactus - Unicron Mashup

A 12cm mini statue combining Marvel's Galactus with Transformers' Unicron - two giant, planet-eating villains. Made as a gift for a friend who likes both universes.

I had a few concerns approaching the design, not least being how to avoid Galactus' elongated head looking too silly. There was also the challenge of giving an isolated head a sense of scale. I knew I would have to bulk-up Galactus' horns to allow space for them to contain Unicron's but I also played with their outline, trying to give them a subtle forced-perspective shape that suggests looking up at a large structure.

To help me keep the clay sculpt symmetrical, I made a basic form from sheet styrene. I sculpted directly over this in epoxy clay. I had planned to make the exposed girder structures in etched brass but ended up running out of time and making them from styrene too. The tight deadline also resulted in me skipping a few other planned details but I actually prefer the more streamlined end result.

The completed statue was painted in acrylics. I decided to tone down Galactus' usual purple colour, aiming instead for something like the burgundy shade seen on the rusting hulks of ships, which I hoped would help to sell the scale of the piece. I tried to stick to Unicron's G1 colour scheme, since the whole design was intended to reference the image of his isolated, spacebound head.

Mad Max Wez Custom DBC Kuma

A custom figure built on the vinyl Dead Beat City Kuma Bear. I was invited to take part in Clutter Gallery's Uproar show, which asked guest artists to customise the base figure as a member of a new gang from the cult 1979 movie Warriors.

I decided to play on the Warriors title and refer to the 1981 film Mad Maax 2: The Road Warrior. Wez was a memorable villain, sporting a mohaawk, eyeliner and leather chaps. I rotated the Kuma Bear's head 90 degrees and sculpted a new face on what had been the side using Millput. The original eyes and ears were removed and repositioned accordingly. I formed the feathers from thermoplastic and made the wrist crossbow from scrap steel rod and wire.

For Wez's paint job I tried to work a little more colour into what was a largely monochrome costume and then blended it with a misting of wasteland-style sandy dust.
