my custom 1/6th mephist festa contest submission

this is my submission to the Vinyl Abuse X Play Imaginative's Mephist Festa Fiesta competition:

and of coz what would i do but 1/6th-versions of them! *LOL*


a little behind-the-scenes-action for y'all who are interested:

the initial G.I.Joe-figure with glued-on horns, sprayed in basic white primer - it looked better this way, IMHO - becoz after i'd applied the hawt Fluorescent Pink-paint, the details were washed out from under the lights! and what you see is what-looks-like a photoshop contrast, but it's not! ~ live and learn, i guess :p

image-below-left is my table-top photoshoot set-up, with two mobile fluros and a coupla IKEA spotlights (for warm light contrast).

the dangling "crystal-stars" (for that christmas festive spirit/feel, no?) were quite a bother to set-up (especially at 3am in the morning *rubs eyes*), but i guess it worked for what i wanted afterall :p

oops! btw, these are the "original" vinyl-versions:
*heh*

cheers to all

click on image above to see original pic without photoshopped-flakes :p

santa's mobile

bought me this generic ATV@the weekend flea market weeks ago, with the intention to bash/custom something out of it

and inevitably like most of my plans, they never get started - until i finished my Father-X and still cannot find my "sleigh"! so how's Santa gonna get around, besides riding a reindeer (bad for the back, i assure you)? presenting: Santa's Mobile! (toysrevil-style)

timeline for mod:
- 1/2 hour spraying base coat in early morning.
- left it to dry the entiure morning/noon.
- took 2 hours or so to sand-down / weather with sandpaper (coarse grade)
- took another hour or so to touch-up with acrylic paints and to dry.
- took damn near two hours to pose and take blardy photos, innit?
(of coz taken with other images too :p)

of course there's quite a bit more to go until tis all finished to my satisfaction,
but will make do for now with these and get on with other projects hahaha :p

the above detail images and more can be viewed on my multiply album :)

ya want a piece o me?

come and geddit it then!

*baring one's soul is not enough nowadays*
