9" Haunted Mansion Pumpkin King Vinylmation (SOLD -commissioned)

Here's another commission I made for a great client.  She asked for a 9" Pumpkin King Vinylmation that could be seen in the Haunted Mansion.  So she decided on the ghostly grey/green color scheme similar to one used by artist Miss Mindy.  I used a provided 9" purple vinyl. 

The head was painted to mimic the 3" NBC Pumpkin King.  I left a little purple on the ears for a little effect.  Added in some spider webs to show age.

For the body, I painted a tuxedo.  The bow tie is all sculpted on with Aves Apoxie to look like a skull.  Added some more spider webs on the hand and shoes.  Even threw in a few hidden Mickeys!

Dexter DDK Doomsday Killer Professor James Gellar

Here's the thing.  I absolutely LOVE the series Dexter.  So I figured I'd make some customs of characters.  I might do a series of killers from the show, possibly other main characters also.  Here is my first shot at a Dexter character.  He is Professor James Gellar.  Also known as The Doomsday Killer (DDK)!  I used a Battlestar Galactica head with a body from another figure.  I hand sculpted his hair, white hot rebar, a little more stomach, and paintbrush with Aves Apoxie.  The base is from McFarlane Toys and I think the pillar is a Freddy Kreugar piece.  I painted his rebar rod from silver, to red hot, then to the extreme white hot.  You don't want to be on the wrong end of that thing, right Travis?

3" Indian Chief Vinylmation with headdress (SOLD)

I got this little headdress for about a dime at the farmer's market, and I knew right when I saw it that I had to base a Vinylmation around the headdress! And it actually fits perfectly! It was very brown and neutral colored when I got it, so I decided to bump up the dull color with some bright feathers and a gold beak! I sculpted on Mickey's beaded necklace with little turquoise accents. The rock base was from the same dime guy, so I lucked out! I used acrylics and Aves Apoxie for sculpting.
