dead bear

so, 2010 marks the beginning of my new toy endeavor. dear bear will be my new toy company. i'll be self producing my own figures in resin. i hope to release one new sculpt a month, and have new colorways available on a monthly basis. each colorway will be small-ish, around 10 each.

i'm also going to have a solo show at the super7 florida store in late april showcasing all dead bear figures. there will also be an exclusive figure available only at the show, with a possible alternate colorway available at the sf store.

it should be fun. i'll document the progress here

Re: mini figure in the works

Re: mini figure in the works

Looking good Motor, you should make mini resins for all your customs.

Update

 

Re: mini figure in the works

Been digging watching your updates... even if the actual creature is totally gross and I would have a hard time painting one

 

Re: mini figure in the works

I love all the chubby chins.

 

Re: mini figure in the works

finally got around to putting some more time into this little bugger. hope to be pouring resin by the new year

 

Re: mini figure in the works

The final sculpt has really helped to breathe your signature style into this piece.
As far as names, this little dude reminds me of Cee-Lo from Gnarls Barkley.

I think the name Gnarly would be a good fit

 

Re: mini figure in the works

Wow, that came out really well.
I don't think I'd call it a mini though. That guy looks quite chunky.

 

Re: mini figure in the works

yeah he's a decent size, he kind of grew as i made him. i still have to finish off the other side. i'm ordering silicon this weekend

 

Re: mini figure in the works

i've got a bit of cleanup to do and hope to be pouring resin by mlk

 

Re: mini figure in the works

Looks great! Can't wait to see it cast.

 

Re: mini figure in the works

this fucking rules.
it does not look very "zombeard shaved"ish anymore.
even though that wouldn't be a bad thing...
great work motorbot!

 

Re: mini figure in the works

skillz!

 

Re: mini figure in the works

I WANT ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Killer work Kevin.

 

i've already started working on the second figure. i'm actually remaking an earlier figure on a smaller scale. there may be a few suited monsters mixed into the dead bear family. i'm waiting on some klean klay and i can start making the mold for the treature.

 

Those are looking great man. Can't wait till I can have one of your pieces in my collection.

 

some updates, ramping up for my show in late april

 

I too love the steak.

 

thanks, another progress shot

 

Looks like you've been busy. Are these all one of a kind magic sculpt pieces or are you molding and casting them?

 

So many wrinkly one-eyed monsters.
