In our modern collecting world, Fate figures, while hit or miss on quality, generally follow the same aesthetic as the various animation/game art sources dictate.
Well, back in the day when Fate was first introduced as a mainstream series, there were quite a few different takes on the material. An example of which was the Revoltech Saber that I looked at a while back. Another line that people may not be aware of are the various Fate scale figures produced by Gift and sold through Good Smile Company.
I recently purchased this OG Saber off eBay on a whim, mostly sweetened by the fact that I already had Paypal credit I wanted to use, plus an in person negotiation resulting in a price drop and free shipping because I was in Markham anyway.
This figure had always intrigued me. While the typical Fate release follows its anime/2D game art very closely, the Gift figures went for a more "realistic" look. The face went for more real world proportions and features, and the armour, while following the general rules of the character itself, is very ornate unlike the various animation models. The various finishes on the figure, coupled with mirrored base (I didn't take off the protective film) basically give the figure a very ethereal appearance.
Saber is sculpted in a standing pose with Exalibur held under her right palm, with a slight wind blowing across her body. As this figure was a first edition release, it also came with an Animation head.
Her standard head sculpt isn't bad.. it's not super great either from an expression perspective, but I suppose Gift was going for the serene look. I would have liked to see a bit more definition on her face, particularly around the mouth, but the bright colour of her skin and hair do fit the statue well. The animation head is nice to have, but really doesn't work with this figure at ALL - the face doesn't have the right shape, her hair is all wrong (Figma 2.0 has a much better wind swept look) and the colours for.. reasons.. are darker than that of the standard sculpt. Detailing of the hair on either sculpt is good, but nothing outstanding, with more detailing strangely on the animation head. Also, I guess just to make things difference, the bow on the back of each head is different as well.
As mentioned above, the main selling point of this figure is the ornateness of the outfit. From the pictures, you should be able to make out the sheer abundance of sculpted details on the armour plating, the gold trim on blue tunic, the various fabric folds, and her translucent skirt. The latter, combined with the metallic finishes of the other parts of the outfit are what give Saber this glowing effect, provided of course that there is sufficient light.
While we're on the subject, paint finish overall is quite good. On a figure with a glossy finish, any sort of flaws, particularly overspray, stick out like a sore thumb. The only real area of weakness would be on the gold, both her outfit trim and the gold on the hilt of Excalibur. These paint apps suffer from slight overspray and masking issues. Finishes on the actual parts, however, are quite well done, with no issues to report from a smoothness or assembly perspective.
Thus, overall another good Fate scale figure. It's not that the figure is overly bad, but rather, it just is somewhat flawed in comparison to the more anime inspired ones due to the to the desire for a different aesthetic. But if you're able to overlook the somewhat weak headsculpt, the ornate armour and gloosy finish will ensure that this piece will definitely stand out on your shelves.
This was a digital-to-physical project I fabricated and installed for architect Paul Preissner. A CNC router table was used to make a form generated in Rhinocad out of a material called HDU (high-density urethane).
I finished this form out as a mold and used it to make FRP parts, which I then tinted with a wash of varnish and artist oils. The effect was quite dreamy and appropriate for the business, a floation spa called Aguasol.
As a sculptor, it was an interesting project where I found the computer-generated form to be quite counterintuitive to a form one would create by hand.
The secret of survival for many animals lies in their strength and size, while others rely on the ability to remain unnoticed. A vast number of animal species live on our Pale Blue Dot, some of which are worthy weird as hell and deserve a closer look. Take translucent animals, for example. How are these things not from a different planet? Their futuristic appearance is kind of similar to the cloaking technology from the movie “Predator” and makes them look like they’re made of glass.
1. Tortoise Beetle
You can find several types of these beetles all over the world, but they all have one thing in common — a translucent shell with dark spots.2. Translucent Sea Cucumber
This bizarre organism crawls on the bottom of the ocean, sucking in every bit of edible material it can find with it’s short tentacles. It’s like an ocean Roomba!
3. Glass Squid
There are over 50 different species of these barely visible fellas. Cranchiidae, also known as glass squids, spend most of their lives chilling in the upper layers of the ocean, trying to camouflage themselves.
4. Transparent Amphipod Phronima
This tiny shrimp’s body size is only 2 cm, but this does not prevent it from being a brutal predator. Due to its perfect body, the shrimp is like a ninja in the water — an unseen killer that slays its prey with sharp claws.
5. Cyanogaster
This little fish was discovered just a few years ago in the Amazon River. As you can see, it has nothing to hide.
6. Sea Angel
These critters are predatory gastropods, whose favorite snack is sea devils. Get it? Angel-fish, sea devils… It’s very poetic! Fun fact: their appearance inspired the designs of two Pokemon species — Phione and Manaphy.
7. Barton Springs Salamander
If you’re ever in Barton Springs near Austin, Texas, go check out these dope salamanders. You won’t find these lizards in any other location in the world, since they require extremely specific water conditions.
8. Glass Octopus
These ghost-like cephalopods can be found swimming in tropical and subtropical waters all over the world. We don’t know a lot about these octopuses and their behavior but we can easily see their insides by just looking at them.
9. Glass Catfish
Meet one of the most translucent vertebrates on the planet. Glass catfish can be found along the coasts of Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
10. Translucent Jumping Spider
Spiders are scary, there’s no need to make them any scarier, said every person ever. But Mother Nature would like to disagree. That’s how we got invisible jumping spiders! At least they’re quite tiny, so they don’t pose a threat.
11. Glass Shrimp
This little rascal is also known as the ghost shrimp. It’s pretty much your usual freshwater crustacean, but it looks fantastic.
12. Glass Frog
If you want to see a glass frog, you’re going to have to travel to the rainforests of Central and South America. But note that when glass frogs sit motionlessly, they are virtually invisible, so your passive perception is the key.
13. Greta Oto
Also known as the glass butterfly, this beauty can be found in the forests of Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador. Those transparent wings are like tiny windows. So cool.
14. Antarctic Icefish
This nasty sea dweller lives in ice-cold waters and for some reason, its blood and skin is almost entirely transparent, or rather, colorless. Icefish is the only vertebrate without red blood cells or hemoglobin.

This sweet girl came to me "lightly" customized and normally I don't work on dolls already modified but she was very gently carved so I considered it and took the challenge.
Her base doll is a Miss Sally Rice translucent Blythe, and she is very happy to be traveling back to Spain to reunite with her mom again soon! Hope you all love her!
(Eyelid art was not by me)
Not enough time to stay here, so we don't have the swimming pool scene for blythe.

Check out my how-to stuff Max and Courtney Make Monsters, my my blog, and my YouTube page.
This little steamed guy was last years entry for the Fire Mountain polymer clay competition. He was a finalist! and they took a picture of someone wearing him, so Im excited that he might be featured in a catalog in the future.
Sadly he broke multiple times. The last time I had them return him in pieces so I could see what was going on. He is 100% Kato brand polymer clay then all the other bits. I confess I only ever use Kato for this competition. I do not like how it smells and I ALWAYS have breakage issues. And its not I dont cure this stuff right. I've been working with polymer clay for 20+ years, and Kato has been 100% inconsistent for me. Ok rant aside, Im pretty sure he broke because of the translucent clay not curing properly. He ONLY snapped in areas of translucent clay. All those lovely tentacles up front have broken. Im going to super glue him back together, and Im going to cure him more, just in case.
And I wont be working with the translucent, it just isnt strong and consistent enough for this kind of work.
And currently I am plotting my next piece for this year's competition
1: translucent shell showing yellowish-brown viscera. Spiral striae present but not discernible in image.
2: parapodial lobes meet for a short distance with small overlap.
3: posterior pallial lobe.
4: cephalic lobes on head are not pronounced and ear-like.
