Whaleboy toy Prototype.
I got the prototype back. It was sculpted by my pal Brannon Wright (check out the links for his site) and painted by my bud Darren Henke. and I don't think I could be any happier. What do you think?
It may be a few months away yet to get the vinyl out. I hope to have some limited editions available as well. All hand painted by various artists. And they would be able to paint him any way they want to. Any color. It would be cool to have a one of a kind peice don't you think?
About damn time Patrick! Looks awesome man. How about posting some photographs of the "Whaleboy" Marquette i did for you. It would be nice to see them side by side. Good doing my friend.
thanks for the link man! It was certainly great to hang with you, John and Jose. What a fantastic time don't you agree? Keep us posted with Whaleboy and yes, let's grab some lunch and few drinks soon!!
Man! Thanks for all the supportive responses. We were at Wondercon over the weekend, and the reaction to the toy was great. I can't wait to get the toy out to everyone.
man, that's so awesome. I just wanted to pop by and say how cool it was talking to you guys at Wondercon. I really dig the quality of your sketchbook. who'd you go through to publish it?
I'll be sure to keep checkin back to see when i can order one of these vinyl figures... it's too rad for words
Such an amazing job! I recognize Brannon's name. I think he did some work for my dad's product design firm. He really did a sweet job on whaleboy. I saw it at the Con but couldn't afford it at the time. I'd love to see some of the variations get made as well. Keep on impressing and inspiring!
Yeah!!! Whaleboy!
