    Blue with red spray looks amazing! Great job on the sculpt. You are very talented.
    Would love to see this in vinyl.

    Thanks!
    These have been a lot more time consuming then my previous figures. Worth it though ;)

    Heres the synopsis for the story my Brother and I put together. Each figure will come with its own full version.

    "A once thriving and prosperous town, now lays in the grip of a mutated and deformed madman. With his minions of Ikakumora and shadowy, skulking horrors, he has reduced the towns folk into a huddled, scared mass, afraid to even venture forth from their homes.

    The mad man, a once prominent and rising star in the field of advanced genetics, through a horrible mishap in his lab has become grotesquely deformed. Through the mutation brought on by his own hand, his D.N.A was fused with that of his test animals, aggressive and cannibalistic squid. With this mutation, he discovers that he has the power to control with his mind, his malformed progeny. Using his mastery of genetics, he built an army of rabidly aggressive spider and squid hybrids, among other horrors. Mindless and terrible, these "spider squid" are controlled by more willful and evil, larger minions. Returning to the town of his youth, the madman, in his underground liar, sets out to wreak the twisted vengeance that his madness demands of him.

    Two brothers, with a rich family tradition as the keepers of the foo relics, must brave the lurking terror and go to the temple on the edge of town where the foo statues reside, and perform the ritual that will resurrect the mighty foo from their stony slumber. The foo, once the towns pride and protectors now are nothing but a distant memory for the towns folk, except in the hearts of two brave youngsters.

    The towns only hope now rests heavily on the shoulders of two small boys and their legacy.

    After braving life and limb, the two brothers perform the ritual that sets in motion the resurrection of the mighty foo guardians. At the moment of their triumph, after the first foo has been awakened, the spider squid and their foul controlling minion attack, and mortally wound the remaining foo, who is still encased in its stone prison. In an act of mercy and preservation, the first foo fuses and joins with its wounded counterpart, thus saving its life. Through this, the foo, separately powerful, are now enjoined and infinitely more powerful as one, two headed foo guardian.

    Thus begins our tale....."

    Man, I can't say anything more than everyone else is, or should be saying, but these are beautiful, and the story gives them a lot of depth. I cant wait to see the omake's. Portland is doing big things.

    Holy crap that rules. I agree, a vinyl piece in addition to the ceramics would be fun, or even smaller versions in vinyl?

    Great backstory too!

    What time is the gallery opening? I'm hoping to swing by for a couple of minutes, but I have to pick my wife up at a yet to be determined time. This is one of those few times where I wish I had a cell phone...

    Great show, Miles! Love Shishi! Wish I could have stayed longer to chat, and wish I could have bought a Shishi. Hopefully you're planning on making more in the future, as I'd love to get one of these guys eventually.
