D-Con!

Hello!
As you may know, if you've checked out this post on the glyos blog, I'll be attending D-Con! I can't wait for Saturday!!
As for my D-Con offerings, I wish I could have some production robots right in hand for y'all, but it's still in the tooling process. But I will have the beautiful prototype by True Cast for everyone to check out. Come pick it up and play around with it, everyone is welcome to! I'll also have the comic for sale (art by Ralph Niese) and my strange and magical little felt creations! Here's a little preview shot of all that:

Hope I see you there! Stop by and say hi, and please check out this comic!
I'll have it up for sale online as well not long after the con.

Leaps and Bounds

First of all, I'll be at Designer Con for all you Southern California fans of Glyos and it's expanded universe. Hopefully I'll see you there, at the Glyos booth!

Secondarily, the factory that produces all things Glyos-related is currently working on my Robot figure! It'll probably be a couple months or so until I have anything to release, but now we have a timeframe for that figure! The robot has been in the works for four years now, so you can imagine that it feels really nice to hand it off.

Here's another picture from that amazing True Cast Studio-

Thank you, Matt, for so much help and commitment to making this figure the best it can be! 

In other news, lately I have been creating little felt guys! You might have seen one if you've been following my exploits on facebook, but here are some pictures of others.

Fall Warrior

Mysterious Bug

Florallions

Created with wire skeletons, hot glue and a bunch of felt, they are really fun to make! It's a nice feeling, in between sculpting long term projects, to build a relatively quick toy. Plus, the wire makes them extra poseable, and the felt is very durable.

I might have some of them for sale at D-Con, so check 'em out there!

More Prototype Pics! Comic for Sale Soon!

Thanks all for waiting so long! We have another preview of the comic, which will be on sale soon here on my website. We are very pleased to have a physical copy on hand, and I think those of you who purchase one will be pleased as well. Ralph's art conveyed our ideas fantastically, and I am even seeing little details now that I didn't notice the countless times I've read it before. 

I'll be attempting to keep this comic cheap at $6, and with the amount of work that my local publishers have put into it, I think its a fair price! My reason for putting out these comics in print rather than on the web is so that the artists can receive a fair wage for their work, and so that I can fund the consecutive comics as well! My dream is for this side project to gain momentum and feature new artists who might be less well-known as well as allowing us to create a fully realized universe for these toys to inhabit. 

Now, on to the prototypes!

Those are the hands of True Cast Master himself, Joshua Edwards, as he plays with a prototype. There are some surprises that he added in to the figure that boost the fun factor, but I'll leave those secret for now. I purposely left the Speaker's face blank, so that not only could it be given different tampos of speaker, but be able to have various faces applied! Instant new characters! The final speaker will have a few more details around, so it'll still look good in unpainted plastic, but I wanted the ability to customize and create new personalities easily. Let me know what you think! Does sculpted face detail outweigh the possibility of customization and painted decals?
