AXEFACE B.C. drops Friday June 1st at noon!



Dropping tomorrow, Friday June 1st 2012 at 12pm PST is a fresh new batch of our AXEFACE B.C.! This being the first "official" release (the other being a few samples at last year's Designercon) we wanted to do something a little cool, so each AXEFACE B.C. will come with an old-school toy catalog and a print! No pics of the print yet cuz I'm still drawing it, damnit. And, in a MH first (?), we have an official story blurb! Check it out:


Axeface...the Scourge of Pre-history and the Ancient Enemy of the Skullmasters!


The spawn of ancient beasts and dark science, the Axeface clan is renowned and reviled for their brutal combat skill and blood magic alike. On the battlefield they are cruel and merciless, their arms and armor crafted from the bones of their fallen foes. An Axeface is alway ready for a rumble!


So where did the Axeface's come from? Who taught them this blood magic? Are they always evil or are they just born that way? All these questions and more will be answered..eventually!

MONSTREPRINTS!

Hey everyone, just wanted to announce our first ever print sale! We've always loved old school printmaking (we both have degrees in it..) and we've been wanting to do some prints for awhile. Cliff has created three new lithographs; Codename P.A.N.T.s "Arrival", Visible P.A.N.T.s and a Victim #1 print with different sprayed texts! I've embellished a linocut of AXEFACE and SKULLMASTER with white ink for that extra comic book-y flavour. We hope you enjoy!

some more Axeface

Here are a few more shots of Axeface. Below is the final prototype, sculpted with Super Sculpey, primed white and sanded furiously. He's about to be clayed up and molded.



Axeface says "hello" from the beach!


Here's a turnaround of a clear grey casting that cliff's gonna paint up into something pretty. The levels are tweaked a bit to show some detail.


A wip shot of axeface's first edition. Green base with blue and yellow spray. They'll each have some distiguising features, and will be limited to three pieces(!). These suckers are biiiig... one Axeface takes 24 oz of resing, whereas one Victim takes 7 (4 oz for the body, 3 for the flame). Thats a pretty huge difference, and has thus expedited our current drought of white resin. Ooof.

AXEFACE axeface axeface....




I'm pleased to show off MONSTREHERO's newest addition to the ranks: AXEFACE. He's been in the works almost as long as Skullmaster, but has gone through a lot of revisions. I still don't have a final production color scheme decided, but I'm having fun experimenting.
The first figure is a light clear blue resin with blue glow. The second in the foreground is mainly a paint experiment, but should be close to the final color scheme (probably minus the pants). The one in the background is a dark green clear.
