Friday, July 31, 2015. Sneak peek from Troublefish. While on location in the Bahamas (see picture) I've been doing a bit of research on some of the resident marine wildlife as inspiration for the next shark concept to join Capt. QUINT in his retro-tech nautical world. Introducing, the Smalltooth Sawshark of the Caribbean. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Thomas Unblocked: June 2015

http://thomasunblocked.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Capt QUINT - the finished prototype! Behold and read on in awe! The long-awaited and much-anticipated Capt. QUINT one-of-a-kind, hand-made, blood-sweat-and-tears (with the occasional rage and denial) prototype is finally complete in all its fantastic glory! It took me the better part of 6 months to reach this stage (and almost $2000) but well worth the journey. To recap the sequence just. Check out my earlier entries:. Cocktail napkin doodle (not recorded in this blog). It's a dig...

Thomas Unblocked: Capt. QUINT update - 1st Rapid Prototype!

http://thomasunblocked.blogspot.com/2015/02/capt-quint-update-1st-rapid-prototype.html

Thursday, February 26, 2015. Capt QUINT update - 1st Rapid Prototype! 7 inches nose to tail of 3D printed ABS plastic goodness. 1st initial rapid prototype of my 1st Urban Vinyl (Designer Toy) creation! The resolution may not be the highest (that's why its call "rapid" prototyping), but it is true to the digital sculpt. Some of the areas are in need of minor tweaking (a quick fix in Z-Brush) before final prototyping. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Facebook - all about me.

Thomas Unblocked: Capt. QUINT update - New color theme

http://thomasunblocked.blogspot.com/2015/03/capt-quint-update-new-color-theme.html

Sunday, March 15, 2015. Capt QUINT update - New color theme. Going back to my. Post from February, I've decided to revisit old Quint's overall color scheme and back story (the latter is still swimming around in the creative ether). The overhaul is a nod to the early age of fighter jets from the 1950s - prototype turbines, large stencil fonts, chrome accents, flashy tails and cool cammo. I hope to have all the prototyping stages completed by the end of April. This is my first production toy, afterall!

Thomas Unblocked: April 2015

http://thomasunblocked.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 30, 2015. Capt QUINT update - high resolution prototype. Instead of dropping $2500 on a nice and clean looking professional prototype (which, I found out, is not needed by the final manufacturer - they make their own), I went with a local 3D print in the usual ABS plastic(. Significantly less costly and a whole bunch faster). I used a neutral olive for the base coat - similar to the color on bare aluminum fuselages. Now I'll need a table top compressor and some time to dust off my old iwa...

Thomas Unblocked: Capt. QUINT - final 3D sculpt (full color)

http://thomasunblocked.blogspot.com/2015/05/capt-quint-final-3d-sculpt-full-color.html

Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Capt QUINT - final 3D sculpt (full color). Fresh from Seattle - the final 3D digital sculpt in all its colorful glory. My 3D model maker and designer, Peter Thurwachter, has flawlessly translated my illustrations into a texture mapped digital 3D equivalent, ready to be sent off for vinyl production! Despite not having touched my airbrush since my Art Institute days in Seattle, over 15 years ago - I have high hopes for the outcome! Lets see what happens! May 21, 2015 at 6:18 PM.
