This is one of my favorite custom projects to date. The client (awesome and patient) and I went for quite a bit of time, discussing ideas/additions/etc, to help make an "as-accurate-as-possible" Transformers Prime : Ultimate Predaking. Where to begin....This originally started as a Beast Fire Predaking figure (leader class) - It was quite far from accurate. The commissioner supplied me with MANY high-res stills of the character. He/we also worked with some of the best 3D designers to create many replacement and add-on parts.
HEAD : This custom Predaking has a new custom head designed by Incedius, and printed via Shapeways. The face (frosted ultra detail) actually had 2 eye holes which I filled in with clear epoxy to allow the 3mm yellow LED light inside to shine through. The head's 2 large horns connect via ball joints and fold out, then back, then down to fit inside the dragon neck when transformed into alt mode.The new custom head also sits on a new neck/collar shape also designed by Incedius and printed on shapeways. The original neck/collar/neck area was removed to allow for all the new parts.
LEGS / ARMS :Predaking's upper arms and upper legs were shortened a bit. All "hollow" areas as well as some of the Cybertronian tattoos were filled with 2-part epoxy clay, then sanded smooth. his 5mm ports on the forearms were removed. He also has fully articulated hands. Each finger connect to the palm via a ball joint and then has a hinge type joint on the knuckle. These articulated hands were designed also by Incedius (shpws.me/q4NZ) I recommend the "Strong White Flexible" printed material. These hands also have his signature arc shaped designs on the back of the palm and the hands are designed to hold 5mm weapons as well. On the lower legs, I added the blade/fin type shapes (orange) and there are 2 on each leg (one outer, one inner) the outer ones are magnetically attached and need to be swapped to the other leg when in Dragon/Beast mode to fit/Transform properly.
CHEST / BACK : A small embossed "Predacon" symbol was added to the chest. On Predaking's back are 2 "faux" wing attachments which have hingable smaller wings (accurate to the show's CGI) that clip onto the cylindrical shapes on his back (same as the stock wings) these add-on parts also have awesome giant spikes going upwards, making him even more accurate. These were designed by Incedius and were also printed via Shapeways. I believe these are exclusive to this commissioner's project only.
VOICE CHIP and ELECTRONICS : Predaking got one of the coolest upgrade options ever. A voice chip/module custom programmed and built. This module and speaker were all integrated into the chest/torso of Predaking and are discretely hidden. It contains SEVER different voice phrases. It is powered by 4.5 volts of juice, which is a series of coin batteries in one of the AA battery areas. The "push to activate" button is located under the battery unit. The batteries are east to access in case they ever get weak or worn out. In addition, the head's LED and chest LED are sync'd to the voice module, so while he's talking, they light up to accent the audio. I believe this is the (at least my) first custom with a completely custom made sound module! See the video!
Predaking's voice phrases are :
I AM NOT YOUR BOSS! I AM YOUR KING!
PREPARE TO PERISH!
I WILL TEAR YOU APART!
THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOUR EXTINCTION!
GOOD, NOW YOU KNOW WHAT MY FELLOW PREDACONS ENDURED BEFORE YOU MASACRED THEM!
I AM NO BEAST!
I AM PREDAKING!
BEAST MODE : Predaking's beast mode has many add ons. To begin with., his back was retooled and reworked to give better details (which also hide the electronics. The incredible articulated tail has 16 points of articulation, and is super accurate! It was designed by Ariel Lemon and printed via Shapeways. The rugged tail design also includes Ariel Lemon's "extension" This new articulated tail also has a 5mm post on the base, so Predaking can hold it in his new articulated hands! You can find Ariel Lemon's tail on Shapeways here : www.shapeways.com/model/1320083/articulated-predaking-tai...
Predaking's Dragon head and articulated neck were designed by Incedius and (again) printed via Shapeways. The neck has 7 points of articulation. The dragon head has 4 points of articulation as well (2 on the "splitting" jaw and 2 on the mandibles) It's also designed to hold an LED light, which I replaced with a new (brighter) yellow 3mm LED. The wire for this light runs down the neck to the base where an on/off switch controls it. The battery to the Dragon's head LED is easy access in case it needs replacing. You can find Incedius' Articulated Neck and accurate Dragon head here : www.shapeways.com/model/1277613/ultimate-tfp-beast-king-h... (Again, I suggest the white strong flexible material for this print) I took it upon myself to add on some new thin spikes on the top of the dragon's snout as well as 2 sets of longer whisker type parts on the bottom of the jaw.
From tail's end to dragon nose tip, Predaking is about 25" inches in length!!!
Finally, the Dragon wings have had some upgrades as well. I removed all the "webbing" (plastic filler) between some of the wing "bones" and sharpened up all the points. These wings were also given awesome extensions (designed by Incedius) which add a few more inches to each wing and another hinged point of articulation. With these extensions, Predaking's wing span is a whopping TWENTY NINE inches wide!!!
ADDITIONAL : Predaking was also geared up with some nice hand weapons designed by "Customs by Z", these were printed via Shapeways and have ball joints which plug into the existing sockets on the wrists. Also, Predaking wouldn't be complete without a nice light up display base. The base is 10 inches in diameter and approx. 3" tall. It is outfitted with an inner string/loop of red LED lights. It is adapted to be powered through a normal 120v wall outlet. The top of the base is acrylic/plexiglass and has an embossed Predacon symbol which catches the red LED lights on it's edges.
All in all, I loved this project. Originally, I knew nothing about the character, and now that it's done, Predaking is one of my favorite Transformers!
Not been up to much recently. The weather is too cold, carn't concentrate. Brains on ice. So here is what ive managed all this week, absolute nowt : )

The idea was simpler than the realization. It was quite an amount of work to make the picture look real to some extent. I am still not completely satisfied, but it will have to do.
ODC - Theme (15-04-2012): Bright
We are developing a ‘Magic Theater’ to experiment with new storytelling ideas, from shadow puppets to poetic robots. To support this program, I have built a mobile art cart where we can perform our shows, with the help of Geo Monley.
Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are starting with a shadow puppet play that we plan to perform during our Dada exhibit this fall at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach. Called ‘Ubu’s Dreams’, this shadow puppet show features Père Ubu, the hero of Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays at the turn of the last century. The premise is that Ubu is constantly dreaming, interacting with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious. Each of his dreams is a separate sketch in our play.

I thought it would be cool to make a brick built version of the map (I also added some forest).
What do you think?
Hace poco me encontré con increíbles fotos de la boda tomaron en Internet. Son fotos particulares que muestran algunos detalles de la boda en los ojos de alguien.

This is my LEGO Advent Calendar for the "The Brothers Brick Create-a-Calendar" contest.
I think it would be great if we could build a nice small Christmas ornament each day from December 1-24 and then on Christmas day we could put all these mini builds on our Christmas tree. :)
Some interesting pieces that I've used:
- Belville Fairy Wings, Plastic Film (BrickLink)
- White croissants (BrickLink)
- Mini baker's hat (BrickLink)
- Belville ice crystal/snowflake (BrickLink)
- Technic Link Tread (BrickLink)
Happy holidays and merry Christmas to everyone!
Here are my ideas so far for this round. (Bigger versions available here and here.)
The two big options feature embroidery of some sort (the squiggles on the picture in the left - that's the extent of my drawing capabilities. :)
To decode, the little one on the left is fussy-cut squares with borders (kind of like this one, but with white sashing and different piecing.
The big one on the left is half-square triangles, where half is a bright print/solid and the other half is white with a bit of embroidery.
The one on the right would be these patches of embroidery (found on Hoop Love here on Flickr), kind of like this quilt. The lower right-hand corner is a surprise.
So, thoughts?
For anyone making their own hipsterPDA, here a few ideas for binders.

What do you think partner? Which would you like me to try first? What's your fave here? I'm thinking some linen, AMH fabrics, probably some Tula Pink Parisville, Blues, pinks and purples... embroidered words and maybe a bike? lol. Ok so the bike is all me... I just want to try it. lol.
Unlike most of you, my idea light bulb is kinda dim. It's only 5 watts. And, most of the time, it ain't even on. Still lifes are actually painful for me. They hurt my little brain, TBH. I'm presently working on 2014 Christmas cards. This looks nothing like the idea I had in my head. Well, for that matter, neither do the other 183 shots I took this afternoon. Somewhere, in all those shots, there must be sumpin' worthwhile. I say that, but, of course, I know better. Sigh... Debating putting "Merry Christmas" on the front. I'll post others, as I feel less terrible about them.
Using my Canon 430EX II Speedlite, I attempted to capture drops of water frozen in time. It's a technique that I'm working on perfecting. I'm working with only one strobe instead of multiples, but I believe that given time I will learn how to make my one work very well.
I love the different hues of green I ended up with here. The shot was made up of a old plastic green bowl from out of my grandmother's cabinet. I just filled it with water and put in under the sink. Turned the faucet on until I had a steady drip, but not too much. I really had no idea what to expect. I took many many shots before I got one that I was pleased enough with to post. I was given some helpful tips by some friendly flickr folks(say that 3 times fast) within the www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/discuss/72157611628500109/ group's discussion board. Great place for anyone who would like to explore techniques using speedlites.

For the color blind folks out there, the one the left is green, both figuratively and quite literally. For everyone else, I think the point gets across with out any additional explanation :-)
I considered using an actual green CF bulb (they do make 'em), but I only wanted green on the correct side. So yeah, it looks like this.
