LEGO Pokémon: Charizard

Man this large boi has been in a WIP stage forever. Ever since brickfair of last year did I have a base for him but after a year of procrastinating I overhauled most of that base and wanted to get him done before brickfair of this year.

 

So Charizard a pretty cool pocket man, he's in smash bros, he's a dragon (but not a dragon type), and he has wings and I like characters with wings for some reason.

 

This base for this guy was completely out of scratch, all procreate with tons of cutting, sanding, and sculpting onto over and over and over and over again.

I used lego rod pieces, like what lego uses for staffs and sticks and put them outside the joints for the arms, legs, neck, and tail.

I also sculpted around cheese slope pieces for his feet so he can stand on lego and uses lego pieces so if you're saying it's not lego you are confirmed not heterosexual.

Gotta thank Andy for the idea of making the wings articulate in every direction. I never knew hands could grab onto the tips of antennas. I cut some hand pieces and glued them into the wings. The wings were made with cut funko box plastic with procreate sculpted around the sides.

The fire on his tail was made with hot glue and transparent red paint with some highlights painted in. The tail can actually go on both sides and I can take the fire piece off and position it.

My favorite part is the jaw, which uses small magnets in order to move up and down.

I might post how the articulation works on my instagram so go check that out, I also will have clearer pictures there.

 

What do you think!?
