The Black Terror vs. Killer Robot from Exciting Comics #45

[jzichek-migration]

Hi All,

 

I recently completed a digital sculpt of The Black Terror vs. Killer Robot, which is inspired by the cover of Exciting Comics #45:

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, it is not a direct adaptation of the cover, but definitely retains the spirit and style of Alex Schomburg's dynamic illustration. I think it will eventually make a nice figurine and hope you like it!

 

Best Regards,

 

Jared

Very cool!

[MrBedrock]

That is bad-! You need to make some of those so we can carry them in the shop. I think they would sell. And even if they don't, who cares. They would look so great on the shelves.

Really awesome (thumbs u

[Jayman]

That looks sweet!

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with the process. Is that just a digital 3D image or is that a 3D printed sculpt?

[jzichek-migration]

These are renders of a digital model, which will serve as the basis of a physical 3D print. The production figurine will be made of resin, while the robot's hoses, antenna, and dagger will be made of metal.

That is very cool!

[thehumantorch]

Very cool, you've got talent in spades.

[Silver Surfer]

Very impressive, my mind is reeling from the potential commission possibilities. Will you do custom orders? BTW what is the process of a digital sculpture and how is it different from the final 3D imaging?

Thanks for the explanation. The metal components are a really cool touch.

What scale would this be in?

What scale would this be in?

My vote would be 1:1, for yard art.

[jzichek-migration]

Thank you for the kind remarks! Silver Surfer, I do consider custom orders, feel free to contact me at info@jaredzichek.com to request a quote for a custom sculpture. The figures are sculpted using specialized software and the resulting digital model can be used both for illustrations (like those above) and a physical 3D print, among other applications.

 

Jayman, the scale will be 1/21, the same as the recent Eaglemoss Marvel and DC figurine collections. This piece will be 3.84" (9.74 cm) high. The metal bits are actually to minimize the possibility of breakage in the package.

[comicjack]

Very sharp indeed!

[cheetah]

I'm curious as to how long that took to make. It's very cool and I can imagine all sorts of other covers like Startling 49 that would be very cool, too.

[jzichek-migration]

I worked on it a few hours each day over the course of 6 weeks or so. Startling 49 is definitely on my to do list!

Agreed, screw what the neighbors think!

[adamstrange]

Beautiful work!

 

I might suggest changing the base color to a forest green. This would be somewhat consistent with the cover but, more importantly, might set off the figures better than the current dark grey.

[jzichek-migration]

That's worth considering, adamstrange. I went with black in emulation of the Eaglemoss collections but am willing to deviate from it if the figure calls for it.

[nearmint]

I vote BIGGER!

[jzichek-migration]

A larger version is a possibility; guess I could put up a survey to gauge the level of interest. I chose 1/21 scale to keep the figurines affordable and to complement the existing Eaglemoss collections.

[Timely]

I vote BIGGER!

 

Agreed. I think 8" would be the perfect size for an office desk display piece. Under 4" is way too small. To me, an 8" size is a statue of value, under 4" seems like a cheap (yet cool) play toy.

 

I'd also suggest making it a signed & limited numbered edition (which could be done on the front edge of the base or on the bottom of the base). If you sell out of the first run you can always make a second edition.
