As a long time member of these boards I wanted to share with you a project that I have been wanting to get into for a very long time. Coming out of the past few years I am so honored to say that I’ve decided to take a leap into the world of Soft Vinyl and bring to you my First character concept and jump into this beautiful medium. Let me introduce you to GUS! A Moth Beetle hybrid kaiju from the wild world of my mind. Beautifully hand sculpted by Neil Ewing of Bombastic Plastic. Based on full turn around illustrations created by Me. follow me on Instagram @HardDragon for more Creepy and Cute Creations. I’ll update this thread as production continues. Currently the sculpt has been completed and Gus is going into WAX. Exciting!
I super excited to be collaborating with @HardDragon on this one. It’s been a long time coming. It’s going to be cool to see this buggy boy out in the wild!
Thanks, when I had done the initial illustrations I didn’t want it to come off as a shell directly but allows it to be viewed either way. Soft wings or a hard shell. Or perhaps wings within the shell! Neil has done an excellent job of taking my 2D work and making it come to life. I am so happy to bring him into this world
