I too tried my hand at a custom buddy. I would only consider this prototype a marginal success. Upon receiving the fabric I realized that these were gonna be way smaller than I expected. That made turning out the fabric after it had been sewn inside out, really dificult in the smaller spaces. For example pushing the foot through the ankle opening was near impossible. It worked better on the second foot after I trimmed some excess fabric that I had left for seam allowance purposes. this same issue is giving me huge problems on the Giant Gonzalez buddy I'm working on. I have a Razor Ramon that I fear will be the same way. In the future when I resize these it should become a non factor but also for the buddies I'm designing now, I'm trying to avoid shapes like that. img97.imageshack.us/i/imagenvda.jpg/img85.imageshack.us/i/imagexuj.jpg/ |

Thanks. I could list any number of accolades and brag that I've always had a great deal of artistic talent and it would all be true but another fact is that two months ago I had never even touched photoshop. I knew I'd need to ink and color these drawings in photoshop for them to come out how I wanted them to. I opted not to use the standard tonka pattern or template, in part to differentiate myself from the dude doing the rassle pals (which I am still a big fan of) but also because I don't feel it lends itself to certain body types. I have drawn a whole bunch so in due time you'll see them.
I sold that bam bam yesterday at the punk rock flea market.

That is awsome. great design. Love it. My only suggestion is make the feet a bit bigger. Those little feet creep me out. Other than that it looks freaking amazing!!! Love to see some pics with something to get a sense of scale.

Sir.... SO AWESOME. I love the stylized look of these. I love stuff like this and the art is fantastic. I like how you branched out.
Like most of my stuff I wanted to make a Kane in every form of merchandise I could, and that's why I went for the Wrestling Buddy replica. It just went from there!
However, this is a whole new can of awesome. Keep it up, man. Whether it puts me out of business or not, I want to see you do more.
