Happy New Year! For this holiday edition of Proto Monday we bring you shots of the clay sculpt for DOMA’s Explorer part of their upcoming mini series from Kidrobot. Protos vary alot in terms of sculpted detail. While the Explorer design appears to rely on painted detail, the clay sculpt has a nice spacey mecha feel. DOMA creates designs dripping in colorful graphic wizardry — we’re eager to see what the final figure looks like.
looks like one of those bearbrick bootlegs got cut in half.
WTF is that? Who would pay money for it?
Doma is awesome but why does no one art direct these projects?
Please someone take away their funding pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease make
it stop
just Hire Tristan back or a monkey with experience in ID and basic character design
This is a clay sculpt of a *mini-figure*. Seems harsh to condemn it at this point without seeing the the final painted design.
yeah perhaps
but if you have imagination you can visualise this
oh hell I don’t know anything I wish I could get one of these companies to make me a superstar
it seems all you need to know is Illustrator CS
Looks like they made styrene templates, assembled them and then put the clay onto that (kind of like a scale model clay car buck). Is that what I’m seeing here?
