New figure up and more coming soon. I swear.

I'm thinking of adding a new section also for DnD miniatures I've been painting. If anyone actually reads this, let me know what you think.

In case anyone was wondering, I'm not dead.  I just moved and I still have a bunch of stuff to unpack before I can get back to making figures.  I've still got a job and will be starting school in a week I'll finish the commissions I have now in a timely manner.


Later,
Brian

This message if for a Mr. Ian Messenger.  You recently sent me a request to have a custom figure made, but the email address you supplied comes up as a failure when I try to respond.  Please email me your request again (because it was pretty bad ass)

I reposted Abigail Whistler on eBay because the previous sale fell through.  Hopefully someone will be as interested as last time and actually pay.

Just in case you hadn't noticed, Super Skrull is up on eBay.  He's got a couple of  more days left and hasn't reached a high price yet at all.

Okay, I've finally gotten back to actually making figures!  Yay!

This time I've made Kl'rt the Super Skrull.  And I mean THE Super Skrull.  Not some random medly of various Marvel characters, but the original alien with the combined power's of Marvel's first family: the Fantastic Four. 

I depicted him with a stretched out right hand and a flaming stone left arm.  (You can use your imagination and pretend he's casting an invisible force field around himself.)  I went with his recent costume from the Secret Invasion story arc because I really like the look of the sleeveless robe over his classic Skrull uniform.

You might also notice the quality in my pictures has dipped some, so if you know of a good and cheap photo tent, please let me know.

I just realized today that I've not been getting commission requests.  My page was redirecting them to the wrong (read as nonexistant) email address. 

So, if you had sent me a request for a commissioned figure, I wasn't ignoring you, I just didn't know.  Please retry the fixed form that goes directly to my personal email address now to avoid the problem.

Sorry I didn't get to you.

FYI, I'm not dead.  I've just been on a hiatus of sorts.

I recently updated the Text List of figure in the Custom section.  Now there is a Genre section so you can look by comic company/movie/tv/originals.

It's on!  5 WildCATs figures up for bidding on eBay from yours truely, VariablePenguin.
You have a chance to own my favorite custom ever: Grifter and possibly my best to date: Helspont.  Also you could own Spartan who was featured in ToyFare Magazine.  The winner of Grifter (if one of the first 2 original bidders) will get an awesome extra item too!

The auctions run for a week. 
Good luck.  And don't forget about the BAFs I've got up too.

The Toy Soup forum with Jin Saotome's Dangerous Toys recently hosted a "Brick Ninja" contest.  In the contest, you had to make a figure that was a parody of another forum member.  I made the maximum of 3 and here they are unveiled on my site for the very first time.

Here's "quick" repaint I did of the ML Hulk/Fin Fang Foom wave Absorbing Man.

The original figure just had solid colors of paint with no shading or detailing at all!

As you probably saw from On the Table, I've been working on a movie accurate figure of Lt. Gordon from the upcoming The Dark Knight film.  Well without any further ado, here he is: 
Lt. James Gordon

He is going to actually be a prize at my local comic shop's movie night premiere of The Dark Knight.  If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, stop by Boomerang Comics in Lewisville and buy some tickets to the movie and a chance to win my custom!  He's going to be a in spiffy display case for you to keep him in if you win.  

Good luck and see you at the movies!
