Title: Castlevania mini action figures
Post by: Patraw on July 08, 2008, 03:23:51 PM
Here's my three newest Castlevania mini action figures:

POR Moldy Corpse

Materials:
Newsprint, Kleenex, white/hot glue, wire twist ties, and acrylic paint.

Dimensions*:
(* The maximum height/width of this figure can vary considerably based on how the joints are positioned. The numbers given assume a "neutral" standing pose without the mushrooms attached.)
5.5 cm/2.6 in. x 2.5 cm/1.0 in. (highest point x widest point)

Articulation:
Nineteen points: Neck (2), shoulders (2), elbows (4), wrists (2), waist, hips (2), knees (4), and ankles (2).

Time:
Approximately one and a half days. I sculpted and painted the Moldy Corpse figure in its entirety on July 1, 2008. I made the mushrooms that attach to its back the following morning on July 2.

HOLY SHIT that rocks all over the place!
Great, great, GREAT Job.

The attention to detail and painstaking degree of precision in these projects of your are clearly visible.  It looks like you put a lot of work and effort.

Very nice.

I want more, btw. :P

Wow, those are really good! Very detailed work. If I still played with action figures, I would buy those! Actually, no, I'd probably STILL buy those! You should send those to Konami and see what they think.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

I've made 22 Castlevania sculptures so far, if you'd like to see the rest, you can visit my Konami fan art page:

http://www.geocities.com/kramwartap/konami_artwork.html

As to tutorials, I don't really have any.  Just mid-construction photos.  Anybody can sculpt, it just takes time to learn and lots of practice.  The art section of your local library is a good place to look to get yourself started.

So, it looks like these are made of plastic, but you mostly have newspaper and such in the list of what you used. Why is that?

I don't believe this. That's incredible! My favorite was your Circle of the Moon Legion. It's so perfectly detailed, it's amazing! ;D

You totally blew my expectation of these action figures.... their type is a lot better than I imagined when I clicked the thread. Good job :)

OMG, those are Sooooooo awesome.  You've got some serious skills man, mad props to you.

I make custom figures too. You can see some of them at http://devildyce.deviantart.com/.  I've been planning on making a Shanoa figure ever since I started playing Order of Ecclesia.  I hopefully will get it done soon.  I plan on making her and some of her weapon glyphs like Melio Confodere, Melio Secare, Vol Falcis(I like it better than Melio Falcis), Melio Hasta and others like Lapiste, Dextro/Sinestro Custos, and one of the Scutums.  Eventually I'll have more stuff like some wings I can put on her back for Volaticus.
