In the last few days since my last update I’ve started painting the Nightgamers and I thought I’d let you in on the progress.

1. (Above) I primed the faces/heads with gesso. Some parts are simply layed in with a brush while the fade is a combination of rubbing and dry brushing.

2. The pink here is a light rub. There is also some pearlescent paint but it’s hard to tell in this picture.

3. I added a golden rub in some areas.

4. Here I used a orange brush pen to lay in the paint. The colors of the Pentel brush pens have a wonderfully bright hue. It is quite fluid and the application is very even.

5. I added some more orange to the lips and gums

Today a very short update: I stitched all the zippers into the teddy bear suits. The one shown here fits pretty well. Some of the other suits are a little smaller and do not close completely with a toy inside. Painting the toys is the only step that remains until the finished custom run.

So, another update in my ongoing series of Nightgamer customization.

1. As you can see above I decided that two eyes are not enough and I drilled two extra holes into the mouth area.

2. Below is a shot with the eye sockets sculpted, the glass marbles in place and the tongue coming out of the mouth hole.

3. I mentioned this already earlier on that I gutted eight teddy bears and turned them into suits for the Nightgamers. The suits have blood red zippers. Each suit is different. Here is a close-up.

4. And to give you an impression of where all of this is heading here is a shot of one of the Nightgamers testing a teddy bear suit. This particular one has pants and a skirt that I carefully ignored. The zipper features intentionally bad sewing. Makes it more scary.

It feels like just a little progress but judging by the last picture that I’ve shown a lot has happened in the meantime. I sculpted some lips around the mouth and also designed the eye sockets. After some experimenting with the brain (see my earlier post) I decided that I would not be using these parts and instead went for the pieces that I removed from the head in the beginning. The tongue will end up in the middle hole, I suppose?

Here is a little surprise release of my Metamorphin sugar capsule toys featuring pink and turquoise pills.

Metamorphin come in a handmade blister capsule packaging and a handmade box. There are 10 different sculptures out of which 2 are less often and one is a chase. I will take care not to have a set of only one sculpture but I can not promise that there won’t be doubles. No single purchase of pills is possible.

Background story: After body modification nano-technology had become not only common but also fashionable one company quickly seized the opportunity to offer the ability to buy cheap, timed capsules with the ability to enhance the body and mind in almost every way imaginable. Metamorphin advertise themselves with low cost and highly satisfied customers while at the same there is very little known about longterm and side effects…
