Very cool with all those tentacles! I really like it!

 

Re: New sculpt, no name yet

How could you not love a face like this...

 

Re: New sculpt, no name yet

Thanks for the love folks. Any thoughts on the a name? Im not very good at naming things. It could be male or female or asexual I don't care. It just needs a name

 

Re: New sculpt, no name yet

Re: New sculpt, The Krakinite (thanks coma21)

Coma was all stoked to show me at work yesterday, its a pretty sick figure. Cant wait to see the end results. Whats the timeline like?

 

Re: New sculpt, The Krakinite (thanks coma21)

Thats not a bad idea


I still need to mold this little guy. I can't wait, I just got a pressure pot!

Thanks for all the kind word folks. I will definitely keep everyone updated on the progress

 

Re: New sculpt, The Krakinite (thanks coma21)

Dude please do!!! I'm totally flippin stoked to have helped in any way with the process.

 

Re: New sculpt, The Krakinite (thanks coma21)

I got you main! I was really stoked on the name. I can't name anything. I feel sorry for my kids if I ever have any

 

Re: New sculpt, The Krakinite (thanks coma21)

The head sort of reminds me of the dorotabo.

 

Re: New sculpt, The Krakinite (thanks coma21)

I like the character design... he's fun and cute and dumpy-ly charming. I would think about taking a stab at a second version before molding, though. There's a lot of surface marks and such in the tentacles that will show right through on the resin, and the fit around the eye seems a little uneven. The design is great, I just think there's some room to tighten up the execution before committing to silicone.

 

Re: New sculpt, The Krakinite (thanks coma21)

yeah it totally looks like the Marmit Dorotabo. I never seen it before. Do you know what year those came out? Is Dorotabo in a old school movie?

 

Re: New sculpt, The Krakinite (thanks coma21)

I'm not sure if there was a movie but he's like a rice field demon (yokai).
Here's a quick write up and as you can see it looks quite different from the marmit sculpt...except they did keep the 'one' eye.

The Doro-ta-bō ("muddy rice field man"), a monster found in muddy rice fields, is said to be the restless spirit of a hard-working farmer whose lazy son sold his land after he died. The monster is often heard yelling, "Give me back my rice field!" Anatomical features include a gelatinous lower body that merges into the earth, a 'mud sac' that draws nourishment from the soil, lungs that allow the creature to breathe when buried, and an organ that converts the Doro-ta-bō's resentment into energy that heats up his muddy spit. One eyeball remains hidden under the skin until the monster encounters the owner of the rice field, at which time the eye emerges and emits a strange, disorienting light
If you get the chance pick up Yokai Attack! Inexpensive book by Matt Alt.
