I can't remember, I can find out for you though. It's similar to the stuff you use for model car parts, it's not as brittle as regular resin and it's easier to paint on.
I do this fulltime. I do the urban vinyl stuff mostly on commission, same with the painting. The toy release is a new thing, I'm hoping to get a bit deeper into that. I also had a limited edition art card released through October Toys at this years SDCC.

voltaire's stuff is a bit more cartoony gore, the horror stuff I've been doing is more of an illustration style. I've never worked with him, he has made some cool stuff tho.

I do all sorts of stuff from horror inspired to Japanese paper design pieces. Some of my old workis on display in Fat Buddha Store on Bath street. It's a series of work I dod for the Nike SB exhibition last year. There was one cool huge piece but I gave it to someone for their birthday. The dinosaurs will be in places like forbidden planet etc soon.
Thanks for the feedback

I want to see what your pumpkin looks like. I love Kid Robot stuff. I also have an Eddy Table toy I bought several years ago. I would love to make prototypes using
MAGIC SCULP.
This one is made with MS for the body and metal wings. It's not mine--I am just showing what can be done with it. I can even try using my mad refin skills. My primary use in the beginning would be to have posable characters to draw comics with. That way I don't have to guess what they look like from every angle.

Working in 3d is fun. As long as you get everything boxed out correctly you'll find that everything else comes alond pretty fast.

Nah, my degree is in fine art. I just got into this kinda by accident. It started off as a fun side project, then to keep up with commissions I had to quit my regular job.
I do lots of different 'projects' due to my short attention span.
