Constructing Reconstructing Misfortune (Part 2/3)

The making-of continues in Part two! Part one is here.

Time for some bling! A few small holes were drilled into the figure around the ankles and wrist to allow chain, wire and accessories to connect securely and seamlessly. At this point I assembled all of my metal pieces for placement and fitting. This was all done prior to painting so that threading chains and fitting roughed out sharp metal shapes wouldn’t ruin the finish.

Constructing Reconstructing Misfortune (Part 1/3)

I often get requests to do some behind the scenes ‘making-of’ posts like I did for Milo & Ditch or the Android figures. They’re fun to do, and I managed to document the process of this particular project pretty well, so here we go again for my custom of Ferg’s Misfortune Cat for the recent show at Munky King.

Andew Bell Misfortune Cat

Well the cat is (literally) out of the bag! Ferg’s 9″ Misfortune Cat from the Playge line gets the custom treatment from a talented lineup of artists including Chris Ryniak, MCA , MAD and more! Unfortunately I will be unable to make it in person due to New York Comic-Con, but if you are on the west coast, be sure to stop by. More pics and maybe a behind-the-scenes for kitty in the week after the show.

Oh and keep 3 eyes out for a 4″ production version of this guy!

Show opens October 8th

Roy, come and get this goddamn cat.

I’m not usually one for meme / internet news and/or historical based illustrations, but this story on Boing Boing of a cat + an airship + a technological milestone was too much for me to ignore! Still a “work in progress” and I’m not sure if I’ll do anything with the image, it was mostly just for fun.
