 Eggo my squirm Since people have been asking I thought I should post a full size pic.
Custom squirm for the Fins Feathers and Fur show it has a 12x12 painting to match.
Leecifer rules.

Killer Squirm.
And that painting makes it that much cooler. Love all the overlapping designs.

He looks quite the little devil in that first pic. Kind of thing that would give Lovecraft nightmares.

Real nice technique. Like the under side of his tentacles, nice touch.

I was one of the curious on that myself, Glenn...
Very nice Squirm, and the painting is even better!
Do you know what kind of paint was used on the vinyl piece? I've been wondering how well anything other than v-color will stick to the slicker finish toys like the Squirm.

I have no idea what type of paint was used, but there are ways of "roughing up" vinyl so it's more accepting of other kinds of paints. It still won't be as durable as V-color, but it's not like you'd probably take a hand painted figure into a sandbox...

Looks so good it makes wanna crack it and see the yolk. The brushed texture really stands out.

the photo of it looks like it has been manipulated somehow in photoshop
i can tell a background has been erased, but was the color changed at all? looks like some sort of filter

Wow. I dig it. Squirm is one of my favorite sculpts and hopefully will be able to see some of these in person.

Yup, I like the 3m sandpaper sponges (first gotta' wash the mold release and oils off). Then I usually prime the piece w/ something. There's all kinds of options, but I no longer use the spray stuff as it added to the "tacky" prob. Then I can use whatever starving artists supplies I might have on hand. Miss tints in many forms are favs. If I'm "big pimpin'" I allow myself a splash of Liquitex Acrylic. V-color would probably be the best from my very limited understanding, but I've not yet the pleasure and don't know that I'd know how to use it w/ my style.
