This is the last week to enter to win this awesome custom figure. All you have to do to win is leave a comment here with an idea for a custom figure. Contest ends on February 27th at midnight. I will try to get a winner announced within a couple of days. Good luck everyone.

I was recently nominated for the Visual Artist Category for The List: Soirée Electoral. Voting is until February 28th, and you can vote by going to this facebook page and like my picture. Whoever gets the most likes, wins the category. Voting started yesterday and I have two weeks. I am behind for now, but I didn’t even know I was nominated until this morning, so now I am asking everyone to vote. Here is a description about the event:

THE LIST: Soirée Electoral

Mode+11ivy+Hommework+Downtown Niche

This was originally designed for a commission, but the money never came through. I know I already did Zombie Peach, but this is a bit different, and it has her latest victim Mario’s head. I wanted it to seem like she was at her zombie lair, so I put bones from other victims around her “dinner table.”

I used a hard to find vinyl Princess Peach figure from China, so I couldn’t remake this if I wanted to. The mushroom is actually from the same Peach figure, and the bones are from these skeletons I got from target this year at Halloween time.

Since I originally made this for a commission that fell through, I have put this up in My Store for the same price as the commission. If you want to see more pictures, please go to My Flickr Page.

Iam8bit has ended, and my Dr. Mario sculpture did not sell. Instead of putting it in my store to sell, and to celebrate my new blog layout, I have decided to give it to someone out there. There is one catch, I need some good ideas for customs. I want this to be a sort of brainstorming session. Give me ideas, even if they are a little out there. I prefer video game customs, but I know there are a lot of other good ideas out there to, so don’t limit it to video games. Here is what you have to do to win:

• Place a comment on this post with your idea for a cool custom figure.
• A winner will be picked at RANDOM from the posts
• Drawing will be on February 27th (My birthday!)
• International Entries allowed. I will ship it to wherever it needs to go.
• One Entry Per Person Please

I know a lot of people have been wanting a custom, so here is your chance to get Dr. Mario and Nurse Peach for your collection. For more pictures, you can go to My Flickr Page. Good luck everyone!

I recently played Cave Story and I fell in love with it. I wanted to make a figure from that game. I looked up some pictures and found a great picture by glitcher from Deviantart.

I wanted to do this, but I was faced with a couple of problems…mainly the bubble. I was racking my brain, until I stumbled across a musical snow globe that would work perfectly. The dome is plastic, so the paint won’t come off of it as easily as it would glass. The dome is also removable so that you can get a better look at the figures.

I thought that the Pinky Street form would work great, so I used them as the base. Quote’s head is Ash’s head from a pokemon figure.

I originally made this figure for a Halloween contest, but I didn’t make the deadline, so I ended up adding a base and made it look like an attendant to San Diego Comic Con. I also gave him a bag full of stuff that he bought at the con.

For the Bowser body parts, I used a vinyl Bowser from ebay. For the figure, I used a playschool Luke Skywalker figure. He came with a cool helmet that could be taken off, so I put that on the inside of the mask to make sure it would fit right. The bag was printed, laminated, and then glued together. The toys are just random little toys that I had in my parts collection.

I was in the mood to destroy some of my old broken electronics, so I decided that after an old Gameboy, I need to do my first generation Ipod Nano. I did not want to do zombies again, and I found this really great alien in a box of old Creepy Freaks. The arms are some wire I had and the hands and feet are from a terminator toy.

Here is a custom that was unexpected. I found an old Gameboy and I wanted to do something with it. While I was taking it apart, I was reminded of Gameboy from Captain N, and I thought it would be cool to make the screen a face. This Gameboy was really beat up to begin with, so I decided the Zombie motif would work with it.

The face is a printed piece of paper and is from Sparetype. The feet are from an Iron Man Mark I figure and the hands are from an Iron Monger Figure. I wanted to make it seem like it was bleeding, but since it is not human I used a metallic brown for blood instead. This stands about 6-7 inches.

The pieces that I submitted to Iam8bit are now up in The Iam8bit Store. My items are on page 3, and if you want better pictures check out my Dr. Mario and Nurse Peach and my Eggplant Wizard Attacks. I guarantee that these are worth the price to have a one of a kind piece that no one will ever have that was handmade by me. I will never reproduce either of these. Please take a look.

I haven’t done one of these in a long while, but I had a bunch of old hard drives lying around, so I though I would make this guy. I mainly used the hard drive heads, but I also threw in a few of the disks and a case for the base. I am probably going to give this to someone at work, but I wanted to share and show that you don’t have to throw out all your old computer stuff. For more pictures, go to My Flickr Page.
