 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
I really like how on Smog King (smokestacks) and Tonneran (cares) have those details that get painted to pop out of the surface of the figure. It helps communicate the sense of scale of the figure. It also makes it clear that the monster is composed of part of the human-built environment: our works are coming back to get us.

Hitogomira"He shows up [uni] of the city roughly. The person garbage is full of unpleasant heat and the stress. He vomits "Man's dummy" from the mouth. The dummy disguises it as man. And, the city is roughly filled because of the [uwoyori] stress. The city will become "Panic" before long. Man turns into a mob."

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Holy shit that is crazy.
I don't even know if it would be possible to recreate this in a sculpt... but I'd like to see them try. Maybe a slightly scarier face or different eyes.

Dante's Inferno meets Kaiju !
I agree with melek_taus on the face expression. It could be scarier.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Hitogomira - Wow! That looks like it could be the best yet. Looking forward to seeing the sculpt & paint. I'd like some of those drawings - I think I might like the artwork even better than the figures. So much imagination in all the characters.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Great drawing. I see it more for a mid size toy for some reason?

He had some of his drawings for sale in a show a while back. I really wanted one but they were going for over 1k so I settled for the toy instead.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Okay, that's friggin' nuts! I actually like how the face isn't as scary as it could be. Making it more serious would kinda go against the Elegab grain...
It's kinda weird how the people-puke sorta separates and forms his legs...not sure if I like that so much. Mighta been cooler if it was just a little puke starting to spray out of his mouth...and there were people-puke "stains" on his chest (like, people trying to hold on and not fall off!).
Eh...where's my bong..?

That would make a killer Halloween costume. If he does manage to pull this one off, I will eat my hat!

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
These Elegab creatures are getting more and more gonzo! I love it!! Also, I agree that the not-so-scary face makes for the best fit. Retro.

I guess Naris San always keeps the sculpting possibilities in mind. Making them "leak" on the legs might be a trick to keep the final toy design faithful to the drawing.

True...and now that I've had more time to let the artwork sink in, I definitely can appreciate it more as Nari-san's "weirdness"! My suggestion of people-puke stains almost makes too much sense for his style! Oh, and the face has totally grown on my now...love it.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Maybe it's just me, but I can't shake the feeling that Elegab have nailed it with 3 killer sculpts in a row, yet the paint schemes are becoming entirely repetitive (e.g. constant use of red, blue, green). I hope they mix it up a little with the next release.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Oh boy GID oil shock is tempting, a little bit more on the credit card won't hurt right? People puking fella is awesome too, Nari is still the reigning king in my book. I remember seeing some drawings for sale in a show too, but they were wayyyy out of my price range; killer colored pencil work tho.
