~ J.Ho ~ Leave a comment

Designer Con is imminent (November 16-18)! And I have a few contributions to share…
 
Man Or Monster? Studios is releasing a kinkeshi style Warlords of Wor Bog-Nar, and I drew up an homage header card for the release!
 

 
Spy Monkey Creations has a few Battle Tribes exclusives, and one of them is a debut series of enamel pins! I created the art for the Jimmy Cheeseburger pin!
 

 
Both Warlords of Wor and Battle Tribes will be at booth 2529 with tons of other goodies. Check out their official Instagram accounts for all the info:

Throwback Thursday AKA Moldie Oldies AKA Inktober 2016

~ J.Ho

So I did Inktober in 2016, but I never posted them here. Well here are all 31 entries!
 

 
From October 1st-15th I drew some random monster heads, and for October 17th-31st I decided to flesh out full body designs for each of those monster heads. Below each head is attached to its corresponding fleshed out design. Click each one for a larger view!
 

 

 

 
And originally October 16th was the day where I drew a simple pic to explain what I just explained above. Now it’s kind of a redundant dangler, but I’m including it for the sake of pumpkin-headed completionism:
 

 

Inktober 01 2018

Well… Mer May didn’t go so well, but let’s see if I can crank out a couple for Inktober eh? No promises though!

#Inktober 01 2018

I was just trying to figure out costume details at first but then I ended up liking the drawing… however, I ran out of space for the feet, so I had to lightbox it and redraw her…
 

BATTLE TRIBES WRESTLING!!!

~ J.Ho

Coming soon from Spy Monkey Creations, a new Battletribes subline: Battle Tribes Wrestling (BTW)!!! I did a bit of design assist on the heads, and I came up with the design for the championship belt as well! It’s always a blast working with my good friends at Spy Monkey, and these wonderful weirdos turned out GREAT. Photos snagged from the official Battletribes Instagram account, hit them up for all the details on this 9/28 release!
 

 
Also, as has become tradition, I made an illustration to promote the new molds, brother brother!
 

Dug up some old random sculpts…

~ J.Ho

 
I’m just a dabbler when it comes to sculpting, but it’s a lot of fun.

The reddish one is a random space golem guy I made out of Sculpey… he has a Glyos piece in his neck but I still need to build a body for him. This sculpt is from 2010ish.

The alien froggy dude is another older Sculpey piece (from 2007ish). The body is a Stikfas figure but I made the limbs too large though–the joints can’t really support the weight!

Last one is a Moai-esque head sculpt from a few weeks ago. I was hanging out with my delinquent toy pals and we got blind boxes that had the toys submerged in a Play-Doh-like clay. I sculpted this while we were nerding out in the food court. I’ve left it out to dry since then and it’s pretty solid now!
