The Skull Man. Super Imaginative Chogokin Version

In case you didn't know about my infatuation with toys and especially S.I.C. ~ Super Imaginative Chogokin editions of Japanese action figures, well I'm crazy into it. I'm also crazy about this anime called The Skull Man. He's a superhero-kinda, a masked vigilante no less who slices and dices big bad mutant wolves and monsters. Put the two together and you got someone who's willing to spend his waking hours redesigning this Hero in the S.I.C. edition of an action figure. The art you see below is just the first ideas quickly put together first on my sketchbook then re-draw & rendered again with WACOM and photoshop.

I'm actually ok with this design but I'd like to make push it further and make the armor super crazy plus another Devil Trigger Version like having Nero/Dante from Devil May Cry in their demonic form, except The Skull Man gets to be in demon form. I can't wait! :)








By The Way, I've already order online one of Skull Man's Helmet with light up function.
Can't wait to get it in the mail and will post pics once I get it.
Someday down the road I'm gonna make his costume as designed above. When? You never know. Guess you'll have to check back! :P

I'm the only one I know that is me.

If you've stumbled onto my blog you can probably tell that I'm not the wordy type, well here is my attempt at being the "wordy" type. I'm 32 years old and yes I am approaching "the midlife crisis." Symptoms include questioning about one's life purpose and seeking for adventure and channeling a renewed passion in things. While most other males of my species may become a grease monkey restoring old cars, a cheating husband, or a guy in the NEW red sports car I for one would become, and if a teacher in the classroom would ask "what do you want to be when you grow up?"

I would say "who wants to grow up? I just want to keep on playing."

Why? Cuz playing is FUN and if I could make money after I grow up that would be even better. I've often read inspirational quotes of wisdom regarding Imagination for people who can't dream or have lack of - well I am the one writing those quotes!

If I had 1 cent for every imagining that I've ever had, the money would look like something you see in the safe of Uncle Scrooge who often seen swimming in the vault filled with gold coins that look like the dunes of the Sahara Desert.

My dream job list (that can actually happen in this quantum universe) :
New Lego Creations specialist - Create new and fun Lego sets everyear Minifig + Technic systems.
Futuristic Weapons Designer for Close Combat and power suits - need I explain more?
Concept car/vehicle/boat/planes etc Designer.
Conceptual artist for Games/ Movies/Entertainment industry
Toy Designer - Mostly custom action figures w/ High details (Goldmine)
Rock Drummer - Its what I see myself doing when I listen to MP3's
Crazy Picasso type Fashion Designer - With Crazy masks & Costume
Artist-painter of macabre and drk arts and whatever the hell I fell like painting.
Also Installation arts -thanks to my exhibit design experience i actually got great ideas.

Well that's all I can imagine for now - Even God rested on the 7th day after the creation of the earth and heavens and every damn thing in the universe.

Gotta go back on working on my Predator costume. Will Post pics later.

Re: Blade Gauntlet
Many people have asked my about the blade gauntlets and whether If I am going to make them
the answer is yes eventually i will make them. The only problem is making them work. I've been going crazy going over the mechanics of retracting the blades etc. There are already electronic version online from various fans I could just buy from them but where is the fun in that? My challenge is to make a non electronic version that works pretty much like a switchblade. That's why my brain is going crazy. For the blade and gauntlet I can sculpt and mold them no problem, its just that the mechanics come first - otherwise no point to make something that looks pretty and sits there. That's what seperates a Prop from a piece of Art.

Later!
