Toy design, the first

Well, I've decided to embark on a new creative endeavour - making a vinyl toy. I'm going to try sculpting the thing myself, but if I fail miserably (highly likely, as 3D has never been my strong suit), I'll be calling on my old friend, Sean Williams, to lend his sculpterific skills to my project.

I have dental tools on the way via eBay. I know where I can source armature wire and polymer clay. I'm looking into a few lazy susan options. I've been stalking a couple of Chinese factories that might be able to produce a small limited run of rotocast figures.

I can't see why this won't be do-able.



I guess I should start thinking about a name for this critter.
