Rommel Bad.

So, I wanted to do my first solo release this month... And, while I have a quite a bit done, I don't have what I wanted to get done accomplished... So, it will be a mid-March release. I am not offering this as an excuse, but rather a reason, my professional life had been hectic. I will just leave it at that. In the meantime, here's some pictures of stuff...















I'll leave with with one little hint: Keep your eyes on the Man E Toys blog.

It's coming soon...

(The release is almost ready... -R)

Guest Artist: Ironhaus X Scott Crawford

Those of you that read Wizard Magazine in the 1990's probably fondly remembers the Wizard Halloween Costume Contest that was put on every year by the magazine. If you remember that, you probably remember that one guy more or less dominated the field for the better part of a decade... That guy was Scott Crawford from Columbus, Ohio.

Wait a sec... I'M from Columbus, Ohio.

Wait a sec... I'm friends with Scott Crawford.

Wait a sec... I'm going somewhere with this.

Scott has taken a slight interest in the projects put out by IroNilla, in both the Gorewad Monsters and Universe of Violence. Scott, not only specializes in making kick-ass superhero costumes for conventions and birthday parties and shit, but also does a lot of custom painting and he did this little baby right here...

I dig.

He did a Braveheart inspired take on the Blemmyae Warrior, giving him a stoney color with blue accents. I really like how he took the time to paint a plaid pattern on the tunic piece, and fashioned the crotch flap into a bit of a sporren.






If you're wondering what the Wizard Halloween costume king has been up to, check out his site at
www.AlienatedProductions.com, and if you're looking for costumes for conventions or whatnot, Scott is probably your guy... Just don't ask him about which Green Lantern is his favorite, at least around me. Haha

That's all for today. I should have some good pictures up soon, of the work that I have been doing lately on my solo project.

I'm also going to try to present a couple of new features on the blog, like guest artists (like today's post, fancy that!) and old sculpts from my meager beginnings (yesterday's post, fancy that!). I may even start up a weekly comic, but we'll see how well I can manage the projects I already have going. Take care, my Horde, protect our Evil Empire.

Tuesday Update-Hate 2/12/13

So, I have not really posted much in the past week, as I have been working hard on trying to get my first solo release together. The pieces are coming along, and I am trying to make it a special thing for everybody. I am not going to get into the particulars just yet, but in the meantime....

A good friend of mine asked to see some of my earlier works, from my humble beginnings... Haha
Well, here is a blast from the past, AKA "Rommel's embarrassing beggining forays into sculpting".

He was a part of a little story idea that I had, involving anthropomorphic pirates. It's probably not the most inspired of ideas, but one of these days, I will find the time to add Maak and Dook Flinger of the Famous Pirate Flinger Brothers to the Ironhaus universe.

Note the lack of detail, and shallow attempt at hiding flaws by laying a shitty paint job on it... Haha, We all had to start somewhere, right?

Finally, I am noticing an increased amount of traffic on the blog from Russia... So, February's contest will be for our friends from the far-East.

The first of the Ironhaus Russian contingent to sign up and post a comment on this post, wins a prize-pack with UoV and Gorewad figures, as well as some of this month's  release.                                      

                                                                                                                              -R

This is one of those posts, where I don't really tell you anything...

                      But in-between the lines, I am telling you everything.
