FutureShock:2o5o...

Bad Son
starring Chuto "Juggler" Ramirez



In a remote merchant village far outside of Baghrat, obscured by the jagged spine of the Abyssian Ridge, yet another stranger arrives...


"I have traveled trails of blood and fire..."





Image



Image



Image



Image

My jaw is clenched... Lately, the beast is anxious, as it is insatiable...






Image

What is this? The serpent does not strike its brother...





Image




Image

...





Image

It breaks from melody... Because it recognizes banga, its master...





Image




Image

"I am so very close now..."





Image

"So close, I taste the salt of her flesh..."






...



As always, thanks for viewing.

FS:2o5o continues...

The fully rendered set gives this a remarkable life-like feel. Your stories and figures and vehicles, etc... have always had that. But with photos that let in no hint of scale or of the "real world" beyond the subject of the photos themselves, the immersion is complete.

I can't wait to see this figure revealed in full.

Thanks.

The main character in this bit is Juggler Ramirez. You've already seen him. ;)

The set is brand new, indeed. You'll see more of that in upcoming presentations. it's all my usual style, though.

Everything is 1/18. Everything for this scene was created with the actual figures; even the dog in the first pic is a real custom. All that I ever do is to apply some stylistic photo filters to the original pics.

Thanks again!



PS: The last pic, for the preview, was a teaser. That's Zen in the background. Here's another, a close-up (from OASIS)...

ahhh. Good to know re: Juggler. One of your finest pieces, but I didn't see enough of him to root it out here.

Yeah, I knew everything here was 1/18. The appreciation of that is what I was trying to convey.

I am in awe. This is EXACTLY the type of environs I am trying to make to portray the cities from the Age of Conan. What details! The story reads right to my senses....instant immersion. Most Awesome.

"So close, I taste the salt of her flesh..."

I love this. I am writing a novelette about about a master of archers guarding a nomadic 'scented tent' caravan, and this statement is gold. Takes place in the time of the earliest Egyptian dynasties, when the horse tribes outside Chinese Asia were using the sand mummification and taming the desert horse.

Thanks again, Dennis. I appreciate that very much.

Thank you, too, Brother E. Your compliments are greatly rewarding, indeed, and the details with regard to what you're working on sound most interesting. I do look forward to it.


Again, and as always, thank you, gents.

The whole thing is great, but I absolutely love the snake charmer dio setup. It's the kind of dio that is so drastically different from what we usually see in action figure displays.
