Katamari Damacy Figurines - 1

Group shot of my first Katamari Damacy figurines. This set includes the Prince, Marcy, Jungle, Dipp, Ichigo, June, and Kuro. The are for sale at my store, ctrl-alt-doll.com.

I hand-sculpted a generic Prince figure, and made a mold. Each figure you see is a resin cast from that mold.

Each figure goes through a lengthy creative process:

* Casting the resin.
* Trimming and sanding down.
* Hand-sculpting to further perfect the piece.
* Affixing to glass marble base.
* Several coats of detailed acrylic painting.
* Applying a digitally printed face.
* Spray-coating a satin finish.
* Signing and dating the bottom.

Okay, enough of the sales-pitch talk. On a personal note, I love Katamari Damacy and I decided to make myself a little Prince. Since I'm in the middle of setting up my new store, I figured I'd go ahead and make these little guys for other people too. It was a lot of trial and error to get good figures cast, but I seem to have it going pretty well now. Each one is a lot of work, but it is enjoyable work. As all your deviants know, there is a lot of satisfaction in looking at a finished piece. ^_^

I'm going to work on some of the more oddball cousins next.
