cant wait to see what you loons come up with in this jam

Searching the internet for weird and obscure heroes definitely yields some... strange results. Did you guys know Dogwelder?

Dogwelder was a character from Garth Ennis’ “Hitman” series. Dogwelder was part of a superhero team known as Section Eight which was a band of these crazy guys that fought crime in rather inane ways. Dogwelder is my favourite of the bunch. He’s this madman in a silver welder’s outfit that basically just goes around welding stray dogs to villains’ faces. That’s it. That’s how he fought crime. Welding dogs to people. Mind you it would be a bitch of a thing to have happen to you. You try to rob a bank and you end up with a Lhasa Apso welded to your face, yapping for eternity. *shudder*

That's just... lovely.

I think he even welded a dog to Lobo's arse once, gotta check that later.


Guess I've found me a new favorite super(?)hero

Aight, I'm in. Just gotta decide wether I'll do Dogwelder or Dark Laser

Love it Tim! Of course this is right up my alley! Awesome Jam idea.

The one thing I always try to do is take a very obscure, often lame, character, and make
him (or her) a total bad@$$. Stay as close to the basic original design as you can (i.e.; don't
re-design the costume and whatnot), but play with the pose, body proportions and attitude
to make an awful character really cool. Good luck! Can't wait to see what everyone comes
up with.

Thanks Troy. good advice for us all . Maybe you can pop in here and there and give some Crits.

i'll be going for Snow Bird then probably a FS as there's already several busts..... read up on her, don't know her as a character but like the backstory and her powers. costume is kinda cool, like a white Scarlet Witch.

I wanted to do Sgt. Kabukiman first, but there's a kind of lameness-line I didn't want to cross (yet). Guys like Aqua-Lad, Lady Asbestos and Matter-Eating-Lad live behind said line and I'd prefer if they stayed there haha. Dogwelder seems like a nice character though.

Hi Tim -
Googam, Son of Goom, one of the Pre-hero Marvel Monsters. I am a huge fan of these Kirby Monsters

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
My son and I call each other goom and googam. He got a comic a few years back that had gooogam, finfangfoom, some giant ape... gorgilla? and one other kirby guy in it. It was a spoof but he read that book over and over.

How's this for an obscure character. Still have to work on the chain saw,shoe and clean up. Should be good for a smile.
Good day
Frank

[Tim-Osullivan]

lol! that's excellent. made me smile Frank!!

I take it back, Lady Asbestos looks pretty cool in design, will do her instead. Her name still sucks though..... Marvel Wiki is like a Black-hole, once you stare in to it, you can never look away!!

Frank,
That is a great sculpt, made me smile also. Those cards were the best.

[Tim-Osullivan]

lovely warm day here, 40 degrees in my conservatory. hard clay is lie soft grade so it hasn't taken long to get up and running. this is 3 hours.....


Lady Asbestos w.i.p, turnarounds ;--













do more later/tomorrow, heat has gone from the walk-in oven as I refer to it. but it's generally roughed in.....

hope yours are going well too guys.

Looking good, Tim. Will you sculpt her with her mask off?


I have to rough out a commission project first, but I'll probably start flinging some Dogwelder clay tonight or tomorrow.

cheers Daniel, I reckon i'll do both heads and a change-o right hand. been doing some raking since last logging in.... I removed the dress and added the full anatomy around the skirted area. just editing her now before the dress is re-established.

cool, well commissions first then some Dog-Welding.....

start of day 2 for me;

did some reshaping last night.....









the 'Walk-in' (my conservatory) is heating up some i'll be adding more clay in a few hours. mean while I will grab some castilene and make a couple of Gloved Hands. That head just sucks so that will need chopping off and editing. might pay me to do it in wax also.

hope your projects are forming up guys, check in with you all later.
