Description
(NO THIS IS NOT AN AMIIBO OR AMIIBO CUSTOM)This is the first Smash Bros. trophy I made, he was finished a few months ago. I've been waiting for the lighting setup in my studio to be complete to upload this, but that's been taking too long so I just want to share this already. I'll do a full shoot when I've got all the lights I need. He also has a cape that can be interchanged with the wings, and I need to re-do his shoulder decal, so that will be shown in the pictures I upload in a week or two.
I've had him in the works for a long time now, since he helped me through some learning curves, particularly airbrushing.
This was going to be part of a long series of trophies, but around the time I finished him, Nintendo announced the Amiibo line of figures. They're exactly the same as what I was planning plus they interact with the game ala Skylanders. Soooo that being said, I'm kinda stuck. I absolutely want to continue doing Nintendo characters, but I have to change direction a bit. I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to go about it, but stay tuned to see what I do with this!
Figure is 1/8 scale, sculpted in wax, casted in resin, painted with acrylics, mostly airbrushed.

no, it's completely handmade. Started it before Amiibo came out.

Ooo, how are you able to sculpt with wax? and cast in resin? If you wouldn't mind, may I sent you an ask to find out how you did this? I would really love to know thanks!
This is beautiful, I'd so commission you for a sculpture or 50 hehe XD

Thank you! It's a rather difficult, complex, and time-consuming process and hard to explain on here. If you were really interested in professional sculpting processes, there's a great book called Pop Sculpture that you should check out. I learned mostly everything from that book and practice, practice, practice.
Also I should be opening an Etsy soon and definitely want to obtain official licenses from Nintendo in the future, that said, I would consider a commission so just send a message.

He's so spot on! Absolutely love the gradient to his wings and the metallic shine. Your sculpt is really accurate and meticulously detailed.
Ah yeah...I totally thought of Amiibo soon as I saw the thumbnail, it's a shame they got to it before you had a chance to make more yourself. I'd love to see more from you though, if they're in different poses that would be awesome.

Thank you! Yeah That's essentially what I'll be doing I think, I've got some cool ideas on doing unique poses and unique bases but still keeping with the Smash Bros. theme.
