Skulboy Sculpted Mini: Paint Process

Chain-Chomper full-color Skulboy Sculpted Mini

has a 8 step paint process and here is the breakdown.

After the mini is casted in urethane resin, it is sanded and any air bubbles on the underside are filled. Both sides are then sprayed with an off-white primer which becomes the bone colored base.

First up is the medium yellow which is painted in to represent the shadows.

Following the yellow is an umber paint to help deepen the shadows and define the lines.

Next is a white dry-brush technique on the high spots to establish the highlights.

The mini is then spayed with a clear, matte varnish to lock down all the colors to that point.

The final touches are: gloss white on the eyes, metallic silver on the chains and red in the pupils.

Ready for the chains and the glaring red pupil.

Once complete, the Chain-Chomper is flipped over, numbered, dated and signed.

It is definitely a time consuming endeavor, but rewarding.

Latest Update: May 2014

After spending over 5 months working in Vancouver, BC (as a sculptor for The Night At The Museum 3 movie,) I'm back in Los Angeles forging ahead with everything Skulboy Designs.

Here's the latest.

CHAIN-CHOMPER Skulboy Sculpted Mini

This is a completely hand-crafted item that started with the mini disc sculpture that was then molded. Following the molding process was casting parts, shopping the parts and painting them.

The casting process.

Still getting the casting color ratios worked out and designing the packaging. Hoping to have these available this Summer in a single color version and a fully painted version.

MVP/Skulboy TESLA

MVP's highly anticipated Distance Drivers are finally making their way into the hands of Disc Golfers everywhere. This custom Skulboy stamp from Disc Nation once again features Doc Volt standing at the ready with his Tesla Staff of Justice. This red-hot disc is available in the Skulboy Store.

OAK GROVE Tournament stamp

The Oak Grove Disc Golf Course is not only the first permanent Disc Golf course in the world, but also what I consider to be my "home course." It has been a honor to get to design a stamp for the sport's most historical destination. 

I've had this artwork idea for a Disc Gnome on hole 8 for many, many years. Ever lose a disc when you know right where it should be? The secret of the Disc Gnome is revealed at last.

CHAIN CHOMPER Sculpted Skulboy Mini-Disc

Prototypes of sculpted Chain Chomper mini.

The latest Skulboy Designs project is the sculpted mini-disc Disc Golf marker. I've been trying to find ways of bringing sculpture into Disc Golf and after running into issues with a Disc Golfer statue, I think I may found a better solution with these minis. I plan on doing a series of minis and of course, a skull had to be the first. I am Skulboy after all.

As with the prototypes at the top of the page, there will be 2 versions. One that is color tinted casting resin and a full painted version.

These will be available in Spring 2014.
