Two New Creations!

The other night I was going through my buildman parts to try & see what I could make with them. I cobbled together 2 different bodies & then set to the task of creating matching heads for them. The first head was based off a drawing I'd done a little while ago, but the end result didn't match it 100%. It still came out GREAT though IMO. As for WHO he is, I don't really know just yet. Don't be surprised if you see him in Alien Mercenaries or in a mini-comic at some point though.










Shooting blasters

I liked the idea of a character that could combine two smaller weapons to make one larger one,so when extra fire-power is called for, the two blasters can combine.





This second head design I pulled out of no where, but as I was sculpting it, I was trying to give it a fishy look. I also was trying to match the color scheme to the body, so I went with a sort of evil, nocturnal fish guy...with 4 arms. The 4 arms just sorta came into play while I was building with the parts, they originally had big cannons on the 2nd pair, but I opted for hands as this makes him less top-heavy.










So this fishy guy may also appear in SOME form of photo comic of mine, what comic will depend on some things. I need to refine his arms a bit more, but I'm waiting until the new Glyos stuff drops before I make another phase arm order (I need a few more black ones to round him out better). Name I'm not sure of, but when I work on his character a bit more, it will be cool I'm sure. :-D

Catch up time!

New Alien Mercenaries episodes ARE coming

Hey guys! I bet the few of you who read Alien Mercenaries are wondering where Episode #19 is? Well, it'll be up soonish, HOPEFULLY by this afternoon if I can stay on top of getting it done. Last night I was just too tired to get anything completed & then after I crashed, got woken up by my stomach & that kept me up longer then I'd wanted to. BUT, I feel alright today so I'm going to finish scripting Episode #19 and get it up ASAP.

NEWS!: Season 1 of Alien Mercenaries is drawing to a close, this week coming up will be the last 3 episodes of the season (20, 21 & 22). Season 2 will probably start in September, if not a little earlier (depending on how things work out with timing & what not). Inbetween that time, there will be some photo comics here on the blog that have to focus on other characters in the Alien Mercenaries universe. Expect to see the 1st one starring Monstrokk during the week of July 26th.

That's all for now, stay tuned for more blog updates & fun stuff like that. :-D

Alien Mercenaries Episode #18 is up!

Hey guys, head on over to the Glyos/Onell forums at Octobertoys.com to see the latest installment of the Alien Mercenaries photo comic.

For quick-access for those of you who are members of the forums, here's the link straight to the new episode:

Alien Mercenaries Episode #18

Hope you guys like it. ^_^

Latest Project- Part 3

I got called into work early today, I didn't have time to take pictures this morning, so here they are now. Basically, this is the "fur" of the creature and I'm pretty pleased with how it looks (more accessories to complete the character's look will be added to it later).I had actually started sewing the suit last night, went to sleep and finished this morning. I was really worried I'd screw up the dimensions of the suit, but it fits just fine.

What this custom actually is will be revealed in an upcoming episode of Alien Mercenaries. Oooo suspense! :-D It's funny, I look at this guy & I see one of the Gnarlies from Tonka's old Rock Lords toyline. I had those toys as a kid, maybe I should give sculpting a gnarlie or two a shot? o.O?

Latest Project- Part 2

After about an hour or two of work last night, I made 4 feet, a head & the tip of the tail for my quadruped glyos creation. The head is actually 2 pieces attached to a buildman pelvis which also serves as a neck. This will allow me to make a different bottom piece or a different top piece at a point in the future. I'm proud with how it's coming along so far. Next up will be the beastie with it's fur on it, but until then take a look at these new pics:

Latest Project- Part 1

I'd been trying to build another "Armored Stranger" (real name to be revealed at some point in the Alien Mercenaries story) with my Grim Squad blue parts, but it just didn't feel "right". So I dismantled it & started work on something else. I like playing with the Glyos scale, namely combining multiple figures together to make larger creations (i.e. Monstrokk & Rott'n'dekae), and I'd had a thought: why not do a quadraped instead of a biped??

After a few minutes of trying to get the look juuust right, these pictures are the end result. This might end up just being the "skeleton" for it, with the actual finished project having fur or some sort of cloth sewn around it. I need to sculpt it 4 feet & the head, so there's much to do. Will post pictures as I'm working on them. If it matches what it looks like in my head, it'll be really awesome. ^_^
