Outcasts of Jupiter #1 is Done and Dusted
Last week, Shof put the finishing touches on the story section of book one of Outcasts of Jupiter. For the first time in 4 months he put down his pen, shaved his hobo-beard, and staggered breathless into the California sun to scrounge for berries.
5.5 Inch Denarii Statues, and Comic Con 2014
Well look what came in the mail, just in time for a pre-Comic Con blog post. These 5.5 Inch beauties are mounted on stained wood blocks, and each one's signed by Shof. In the background you can see all the penciled and inked pages completed for issue #1 of Outcasts of Jupiter.
How Do you Build an Army of Denarii's?
The answer? With a watchful eye, of course! Our first batch of Denarii mini's came in the mail recently. I wish we could say we were pleased as punch, but in truth the quality of the figures we ended up with didn't match the proof we'd been sent as a sample. The printer is unwilling to budge, so after a moment of blind rage, we've decided to do another run of prints, this time with a different vendor. We're absolutely committed to making sure what you guys get looks and feels fantastic!
Shof's Amazing Denarii Sculpt is Finished. Here it is!
One of the rewards we're hoping to offer as part of our impending Kickstarter is a 7 inch statue/figure of Denarii. I teased this in a previous blog post that showed off a smaller, cuter figure. This meant that Shof had to create a really, really cool looking 3D model for us to base the actual print on. How did he do? No words, just have a look...
Shof's Working on a Super Cute Sculpt of Denarii!
Funlola's been busy sculpting a bust of Sulesh, meanwhile Shof's been busy working on a sculpt of his own. It's a 3D model of Denarii made in Zbrush.
The goal is to have this beauty physically printed (at around 2.5 inches high) by a 3D printer and made into a real thing that folks can get their hands on. Below are images that show Shof's progress with the sculpt, and his struggle to find a pose before eventually settling on one that I think looks pretty cool.
Funlola's Sculpt of Sulesh is Coming Along Nicely
We've been sharing Funlola's progress on the Sulesh bust she's working on in our previous character profile posts for a while now. It's come along quite a bit recently and we thought now would be a great time for an update! As you can see, it's just about done, there are some minor adjustments to the form left, as well as the painting process, and then it's bake time!
