Title: CRIMSON GHOST 8" figure WIP
Post by: tylerh on September 09, 2011, 12:28:49 PM
Hi All -

I wanted to make a MEGO style crimson ghost figure - Then maybe go on for more serial characters -

Wanted your input so far - Designing the face in 3D to be ideally 3D printed for the head, then customize the rest, make the costume, etc -

What do you think so far?

Hey Tyler,

Here's one I made a couple years ago. Hope it inspires you. I Sculpted the head from images in Famous Monsters,

I would be more than happy to sell a few heads if they come out well! I ordered 1 3d printed head - If its nice, I will just keep getting them from there (They are fairly priced) Or if its a little rough I was going to smooth it and do a classic rubber / resin cast -

If I made a few, I guess I could sell them either as unpainted head only, painted head only, or as a complete figure - Just have to figure out what each would cost -

Which would people be most interested in?  say ROUGHLY an unpainted head is $20, painted is $35, and full figure with clothing $85-100?

I have no idea actual costs just a REALLY REALLY rough guess -

I was just interested in the full figure boxed one, but I believe it was just a personal project. Too bad.

Pardon my ignorance - can that software extrapolate a 3D representation of scanned existing 2D artwork/images, or only what you have to draw in first? I'd be very curious to see what it could do with various Bama monster boxart (Frankenstein especially).
