I'm working on getting this little guy made in resin. He's about 3.5 inches high. I need to give him a name...other than Big Balls Tanuki. Hope some of you like him.
Haha.. that's so great. Would be neat cast up in hard rubber actually. Sorry I don't know your work, had you done previous sculpts?
Fun with Google Translate: Ōkina Bōru (大きなボール) = Big Balls Kyodaina Natto (巨大なナット) = Huge Nuts Sūpāsakku (スーパーサック) Super Sack! Supasakku has me chuckling.
I don't sculpt much, and I don't think I've posted anything on here before. I draw a lot and paint some. Sculpting just takes more time that I usually don't have. I did think about making him in rubber, kinda keshi like, but resin was the quicker easier go to. I might try that in the future.
Updated the first post with some resin pulls. I can't wait to get them. As an fyi, both images are IG links and have multiple images.
I'd like one as well. Maybe it can be worked into a pendant or keychain somehow? In a material less prone to breaking
I'll have them at Dcon first, then I'll offer leftovers or make more for anyone who is interested. He is pretty big/heavy for a keychain. When I get these, I'll take pictures that show a better size comparison.
Nice work, David. I am sure these will be snapped up like hotcakes at D-Con. Do let us know what name you settle on.
I kinda agree with everyone else, Supasakku sounds good. Tentatively for now but it will most likely be this.
I have visited this guy a couple of times and can’t get over how charming the sculpt is. An instant classic for sure looking forward to seeing Supasakku in person real soon.
Just updated the top with a size and color comparison. I should be getting 2 more, kinda marbled, colors tomorrow. 1 set will be hot pink with black balls the other is light blue with purple. Hopefully I can get decent pictures of them all before Dcon. I plan to paint a few more, 4 of the 5 orange are already painted.
^My wife, Megan, sat at the booth and drew Supasakku...and a good friend bought the drawing. I am blown away by the support of this little dude. I have 2 of the 15 I made left.
Holding off a little while on the red...but a handful of these red/orange/black will be coming out soon. I'll be doing minimal paint on them since they look great as is. I'll post more pictures soon. Hit me up if you want 1. (not my pic, it is from the IG of the guy who pours resin for me)
Looking very nice, David!! I love how the black has mixed with the red to make sort of a marbled brown, that is such a nice effect, especially for these dudes. I think you are right with just doing a very minimal paint on them. Count me in for one of these when they come to release. Keep up the fantastic work!
Just an early heads up that I'll be putting the painted marble run for sale on Instagram tomorrow sometime before noon(pst). I'll update this post with the IG post when it's up. Tagging a few of you here who have expressed interest. @ultrakaiju @bryce_r @GoldenArmKid @Russblue11 Edit: and they are up. Edit 2: and they are sold out.
