Doji Stage 4

Added the left arm today, gonna add more fur next and on to the right arm. I think he is coming along nicely. Such a fun little character if you ask me.



Hmmm for some reason he is starting to remind me of Charlie Brown ^_^

More soon !

Doji Update

Had a sec and wanted to post an update on this little guy. I think he is coming along very nicely, I hope you agree :)











So far so good, I'd say a few more weeks to resin :)

New MVH sculpt progress shots !

As promised in the last post, I would like you to check out another new MVH sculpt !

Hmm where do I start images or story ... hmmmm

Yeah your right lets do the fun thing, post those images ...... REMEMBER this is 50% finished, arms and legs will be added still.

Check him out.













I'm loving sculpting and its nice to finally be able to get this ideas from my mind to real life. So over the next year you will see a nice family of MVH toys develop.

Okay , yeah, now that those are up, how about some character info right ?

As of right now his name is Doji San , but the name may change, who knows right now.

Doji San is an old demon, very old demon, so old that he is very clumsy and weak. He has lost all but 1 tooth, broke off his horn long ago and no hair what so ever. Dojis mind though is sharp as a steel trap, he actually gets smarter and sharper as he gets older. What he enjoys most is instigating trouble between the other demons. Yup Doji San is pretty much a full time ball breaker as thats about all he is capable of doing, or should I say thats all he cares to do. He knows just the right things to say and do to get the other demons all wild up, he get a kick out it.

More story to come :)

Hopefully this will translate to resin well as I would like this guy to be my first full figured resin toy. Keep them fingers crossed if your enjoying the sculpt !

So stay tuned for the finished sculpt and more details !

November 1st HUGE MVH Update

Hey all

Well its been awhile since I dropped some new info and I apologize. I decided to hold off on any posting until I actually had some solid releases.

Where to start .... hmmmm how about one of my favorites VELOCITRON !

Ricky just hosted a show this past weekend called " Halloween Massacre" which featured many artist from all around the US and Japan. I'm pleased to say that I was part of this great show, but sad to say due to time all I was able to submit was one piece.

What I did submit though was a gem. I decided to paint up the only factory vinyl sample I received of a test for future MVH glitter vinyl. The vinyl itself is clear and infused was a special metal flake I found right here in the US. This custom is very special as its a 1 off vinyl sample !

Right now I'm in LOVE with the Satan King Walder colorway and with the way the flake makes the vinyl seem yellow was the perfect base for this.

Check it out :







I hope the person who actually scores this guy finds his way to the info posted here about what they now own.

Also in regards to this custom, I will have some LARVAGON keychains for sale soon painted in the same Satan King colors to match this custom made with the same glitter vinyl !

If you recall, Ricky recently sold his batch at Design Festa so some of you may have seen the few he painted in his chosen colors. When I have mine all finished I will post info on when they will be for sale, I cant wait !


Next up Killer J !

Recently my buddy Killer J dropped his new Sarumon figure. The release was all 1 off hand paints ( all awesomely painted if you ask me) and along with the figure you received a poster of the full run as well as a flier for an upcoming show. The upcoming customs show which I'm pleased to say I'm part of is will have the below MVH painted Sarumons. I really really love this new figure from J, the size and texture is amazing.

I was supposed to submit 5 figures for the show (One of them J keeping for his personal collection), but I loved this guy so much I couldn't part with 2 of the 5 so I had to keep them for my personal collection, sorry.

What did make it to Japan you ask, check them out :

Metallic red with metallic blue , silver and black with a pearl dusting :



Hazard orange with metallic bronze, silver and black :



And last but not least, the custom that J is keeping for himself. This was commissioned by J in colors he picked out, and I must say great choice of color. I love how this guy came !



What I ended up keeping for my personal collection was the bomb pop homage and my signature purple and green colored version. The orange one in the background is the same that is now in this show.



MVH VINYL !

Yup its now drawing close, the sludge demon sculpt is now in Japan and a week or two away from the prototyper. I'm super excited and I hope you are as well, when this guy is ready I will hold a release of 1 offs just for mailing list members !

Just a refresher in case you guys forgot about him :



MVH RESIN !!

I have been experimenting with doll eyes and the MVH head sculpt. I love how it looks and plan on doing a short run very soon so keep your eyes opened ^_-



And speaking of resin, you will be getting another update before weeks out of the first full bodied resin MVH figure !

Yup the heads where a test to see how I liked resin, and thanks to the boys over at Monstrehero I LOVE it.

So now that I have a new found love for resin you will have your first full bodied figure to add to you collection soon. The figure will be based off the yoki character Abura Sumashi. I love thsi character and have been wanting to do something similar in design. I wanted to see what a figured based off of Abura Sumashi would look like if he was a super old Yoki hundreds of years old now, he only has one tooth left, one of his horns if now broken and he is to weak to do any mischief, he just likes to instigate trouble. I think you guys will dig this little old man monster so keep an eye on you mail box !

MVH in magazine ?

HUH !

Yup I will be featured in the upcoming issue of clutter magazine. So keep them eyes pealed and when I have more info you will be first to be informed, I may even do a little something special to celebrate the issue here.

I know this was a LOT to take in, so digest and enjoy, good things are in the works.

Rein re up NOW I see you !

Today I had a moment to experiment with the unsold MVH resin piece and some doll eyes I had.

A simple dusting of fluorescent red and gold detail along with the eyes totally gives the head an entire new look. All I need to do now is name this , any help with ideas people ?

LOVE this new look

Check him out :







I think its time to do a small run ^_^

New Items are up

Hey everyone, hope you all had a great weekend. The weather was great in New Haven and the showing I had during my cities open studios was great !

I added new resin heads to the MVH shop. All are cleaned up and gloss coated. These will be left unpainted this round, I just love how they look as is.

Hope you take a sec and check them out ^_^

MVH Sludge Demon UPDATE !!

After taking the last set of pictures I was able to fix some sculpt issues I had, mainly how the top and bottom pieces flowed into each other. Changes where added all around, but If you take a look you will notice that the front has the most amount of change . I carved and added boils to the upper and lower to make a better flow.

I uploaded some high res images to my flickr so take a sec to view all angles :

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lashcustoms/

I wont however, leave without any images ... for the lazy ^_^ here is a taste :

Its going down !

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone. Things seem quiet, but behind the scenes its a madhouse !

I could start out with the last few customs I have done but I think you guys may have already seen them, if not please check out my flickr. Customs include BEMON, MG5, Killer J Sarumon, Blobpus Doku and a sweet Mongo lion, all very fun stuff ^_^

If you live in the CT area and are interested in checking them out in person, come on down to a gallery showing on 10/3-4 in New Haven. I will be in my local cities city wide open studios.



he gallery will be at "The English building" 839 Chapel St New Haven CT. I will be there both days from 10 AM to 8 PM. Should be fun, I will be displaying with 3 other great artist. Some free food and free booze to boot, should be a blast.

What else will be on display and for sale ???

Hmmmm how about some new RESIN HEADS !!!



From left to right >>> Milky clear white, baby blue, crystal clear, semi clear forest green, and hot pink. My boys over at Monstre Hero continue to knock things out the park for me, thank you so much guys ^_^

They still need some cleaning and a possible coating of paint but should be ready.

What else you may ask ......

How about what will be the original sculpt of Mutant Vinyl Hardcore's first official vinyl figure !

Check him out, the Sludge Demon !!!!!


















And to show the figures size, I took a shot next to the Super7 Escaregot fight figure. The Sludge Demon isnt a mini, but not yet a full size figure. I love how he came out and hope you do also ^_^





Incase your confused, yes, the Cyclops figure was supposed to be released first but due to some unexpected complications its still in the sculpting phase. No worries as its still a go and we will see more updates of him soon.

The Sludge Demon though will be out to Japan in the next 2 weeks and off the the factory so if all goes well it will be in vinyl in the VERY short future.

Hope you guys are enjoying, more info to come !

BEMONS are back !

Getting back to catching up on commissions, this BEMON just happened to grab my fancy today, I couldn't resist ^_^


All metallics ! RED, Blue, Green, Purple with some black and hot pink on the back. Maybe I will post a pic of that later.

Also, as of late I have been loving those old adds from comics when I was a kid. Check out the heavily half toned BEMON add I was working on :



Man if I saw something like that in a book as a kid I would have lost it and pestered my parents to death for it !

I was gonna finish the captions and what not for this but decided not to. This is just practice for a special poster I will be making in the not to distant future. Cant wait to show you guys !
