Although I don't make decisions about the articulation, it's always a privilege to work on a 100% new sculpt, especially when it is based on a look with a specific art style. I think this is planned for release later this year, in a two-pack with Luna Snow.

Spider-Man for the Marvel Legends Rivals line. A completely new sculpt too!

Digital render of Venom action figure shown in a beige material from the front view on a grey background. Venom is a jacked alien with a raised spider symbol on his torso, and he has a big toothy smile that extends to most of his face. He has a long tongue and a couple symbiote tendrils swirling around his body.

Promo photo of Venom and Jeff action figures in a red and purple backdrop. Jeff is looking inquisitively with a slight smile while Venom is posing in a slight squat stance.

Venom comes with Jeff the Land Shark, who I did not work on but is very cute. Thank you Daniele di Nicuolo @dinicuolo.bsky.social and Kelly Thompson @kellythompson.bsky.social for creating this weird little guy!

VENOM sculpt for the Marvel Legends line! From the Rivals game. A completely new figure.

Disney Layoffs Hit Marvel Studios Hard The Academy Award-winning artists behind some of Marvel's biggest hits are among the casualties from company wide staff reductions.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers.

Absolutely heartbreaking 😔
Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

I really like it! A lot of fun gimmicks from each of the three series.

There are other Zoids that I would have preferred over the Shield Liger, but this makes sense as their flagship crossover figure. Pleasantly surprised to find the ports are compatible with old Zoids parts too!

Shield D Prime!

I fear that I, too, am simply a Ditto masquerading as a human.

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

新作です。許諾いただきました！！
よろしくお願いいたします～

Height: 145 mm (head), 178 mm (clouds)
Parts count: 77
Material: BJD resin from Phrozen
Instructions included too. I planned to bring a third figure too but couldn't work out the kinks in time! So just this and the Ultraman monster for Sunday.

This is the second figure I am bringing to Wonder Festival- an original mecha I am calling 唐龍門- the TANG LONG GATE, or とうりゅうもん. It's based on an idea I had of the Dragon Gate in San Francisco's Chinatown celebrating and protecting its residents.

Some colorful ink squares on a white bg with text on them. From left to right, top to bottom: -KINGS FALL- ICE MELTS - PEOPLE RISE -ICE OUT 4 GOOD -We skipped our lessons to teach you one!! -Don't roll over for facists (black and white drawings of a border collie) -IT WAS MURDER -Peace is patriotic -ICE ARE FUCKING LOSERS!!! (scribbled) -Democracy needs your courage (The our in your, and the rage in courage are in red. There's a print of red and black flowers above.) -ICE MELTS IN HELL -The only orange monarch we want (drawing of orange monarch butterflies) -FUCK ICE Yall fugly -Where ICE melts flowers grow (drawing of several flowers growing from a broken crown) -The wrong ICE is melting -Enough

Some good posters I saw today.

Showy Lady Slipper flowers in the colors of the Minnesota State flag cross their leaves into a heart shape. Threatening shards of ice surround them.

When I'm brimming with feelings I can't find the right words for, sometimes all I can manage is a picture. Love and strength to Minnesota in this heartbreaking time.

Photo of a painted prototype of Dodongo, a winged kirin-like creature from Ultraman (1966 television series). The figure is greenish-blue with chunky, clawed feet, large spiraling horns, and a dragon-like face. The body sports a bumpy Red King-like texture, and the body is covered in gold flames. Dodongo is posed in a trotting stance with the right foreleg and left hindleg raised. Its mouth is slightly open. Photo from the right profile.

This week's SCBWI conference has been a good kick in the pants. New art, dummies dummies dummies, and a pale complexion that betrays how many hours I've been glued to my studio desk.

These Stories Teach Us How to Fight - Uncanny Magazine Chicago, October 2025. I need you to know we tried. I bought whistles and saline eyewash for my friends, students. The theatre bought 150 whistles. They were gone in days. A neighbor 3D-printed hundre...

Thread: As a translator myself, I echo everything Aliette says. I have also noticed longterm customers suddenly no longer calling, because somewhere there is a machine translation system that is cheaper, even if its output is worse.

Haha I thought it's a great design too, and thank you!

Digital render of a sculpted Wolverine action figure for Marvel Legends, depicting his brown costume cameo appearance in the Wolverine/Deadpool movie. He wears a body suit with bare arms, and the body areas have a mesh-like texture. The boots are smooth, and the belt has a leather texture. The figure is shown in a grey color, standing at a slightly 3/4" view on a raised platform.

Digital render of a sculpted Wolverine action figure for Marvel Legends, depicting his brown costume cameo appearance in the Wolverine/Deadpool movie. Close-up view of the head and torso, the mustache and beard texture can be clearly seen. The top of the mask is texture like the rest of the figure, while the pointy wingtip portions of the mask are smooth with etched lines. Hugh's veiny biceps are also clearly visible. The figure is shown in a grey color.

Promotional photo of painted Wolverine action figure prototype taken from a straight-on front view. The figure's costume is brown and tan (though slightly more yellow than tan), and the belt is a dark red with silver buckle. Four accessories are also shown beside the figure; an unmasked cowl, two un-clawed hands, and a neck with the area above the collar sculpted and painted to resemble a bare neck, without the bodysuit.

Brown Costume Wolverine.

This is the first Wolverine I've ever gotten to sculpt! An all-new figure minus the hands.

Digital render of a sculpted Amora the Enchantress action figure for Marvel Legends. Amora wears spiked headdress, segmented arm sleeves, a leotard-like top, a frilled skirt, and heels. Her hair is waist length, and she is standing on a platform seen from a slightly off-center angle. There is a floating spiral-shaped magic effect beside her with skull shapes.

Product photo of painted Enchantress action figure. Her tunic, skirt, sleeves, and headdress are green, and her legs are painted to resemble black leggings with a repeating light green circle pattern along the front. Her hair is blonde and she is posed to resemble casting a spell at the viewer, with the translucent green energy effect circling around her right hand which is outstretched.

Some new parts I did for the recent Amora the Enchantress figure. Sculpted the hair, arms, lower torso, skirt, and magic effect piece.
