Easter Spade-Skulls (Kinda...)

After completing the green flocked Spade-Skull mini for St. Patrick's Day, I've been wanting to test out a slightly different flocking technique. So along came these guys. What I decided to try different with these guys was to compact the flocking onto the figure while the glue was still slightly tacky. It definitely gives it a slightly less furry look and has a more velvety appearance. But I don't know if it's just that the black flocking shows a more imperfections or what, but I can see a lot more spots on these where the flocking looks thin as opposed to other flocked customs I've made. I did one touch-up session earlier this evening on them, I might have to hit them again this week. With that, it's back to big stuff. I've got one really big project almost wrapped up, and them I'm going full-force on creating a few more pieces for SDCC and getting back to commissions. No rest for me...

Love : Hate

So here are my Baby Bunee Qees for the Love : Hate show presented by Subtext and Cardboard Spaceship. So by now some of you are looking at them and probably saying, "where are the skulls?" Well, while I love creating designs based around my Spade-Skull icon, I like to mix things up a bit as well. I've been wanting to do another flocked project ever since I did my holiday custom last year, and I also wanted to do something kind of "cutesy." This little pair of Qees seemed to be the perfect candidates. I think it was very fitting for this show, just for the fact that I figure some people will love these, and some people will hate them- ha. Either way, they were a lot of fun to make (look for more flocked projects in the future.) Even if mine aren't your style, there's a big line-up of artists participating in this show, and I've seen some of the other pieces and they're top notch. So if you're down in San Diego during SDCC this month, take a breather from the convention and check this show out- you won't be disappointed.
