Wilkinson: Antron- Pretty cool...he reminds me of the early Stephen Lee alien
android that evolved into Antron. Very Giger like, yet it IS Antron. It's cool
to see such a favored character toy having a cool style applied to it. It's a
nice amount of detailing also and a cool way to achieve a needed amount of detail.
Make the brain out of clear plastic and have it so the same piece also makes up
some faceted eyes, so light shining in the brain would come out the eyes or vice
versa. Takara's used this effect on a lot of their later Transformers, and I think
it'd be a cool feature on new aliens. |

Bryan Wilkinson:
Acroyear II- I wish we could just use the Takara design and beef it up into a
10 cm figure with more articulation. But failing that, I think this is a simple
enough design to have a lot of room up for interpretation. It would be cool if
he had a transformation, but one cooler then the original's. And again more articulation
and 5mm replacement parts for the arms or hands. |
Empress | Emperor | Giant Acroyear | Acroyear ll |
Bryan Wilkinson: Emperor We ought to make this guy a bit more differentiated from Karza, but able to share parts with him still on the production line. I think Much could be done to improve the head especially. Will Jones: I am sketching out ideas for the Emperor. I assume we aren't relying on he and Karza sharing body types for this series. I am picturing him as almost a walking circuit mapped onto some Egyptian or Eastern style headdress and outfit, perhaps Indian as well, American and/or Eastern. I have a thought On TT as well. Perhaps a clock imbedded in his chest, something real Deco looking. Kinda clunky but well defined. |
Mike
Bazzell: - Antron! I new this would happen ;-) I don't know which I like better
Dave's or Willie's Antron Willy, the weapons on your Antron are very cool. He
looks much more insect like also, but in a Mantis way. In that Mantis way, I like
the way his head sit's back your Antron v2.0 . |
Will's 21st Century Karza |
Ken
Lilly: Thinking about doing something else to try to boost sales on the Micronauts
figs. Was thinking of doing a Baron Karza mini-bust in resin and see if we can
get it to get some good numbers and use that as a selling point. Thoughts? I think
the Karza would need to be NEW Karza, just to get people possibly interested in
the line of figs that would supposedly come out next year. Once the design of
the new Karza was worked out, we would just do a cool mini bust of him. |
Will's Micro Death | Will's Nuvo Acro Eve |
I
posted pencils of a knave Acroyear. This was in light of Mike B's post about combining
Mucha with my more obvious Golden influences. After reading Bry's post about the
other female Acroyear I wasn't so sure it merited inking/cleaning up. I think
the Acroyears need a queen. Perhaps they are a matriarchy, or secretly a hive-like
society. I can just hear Ken Nordine narrating a Micronauts commercial and marveling
at their origins. Well, as artists we all love pencils more than a finished product
anyway. I have dubbed my NuvoAcro "Eve." Like Evil really not Adam and Eve. Cheesy
maybe, but fun. I have posted a concept for Galactic Warrior. I see him as an
astronaut type. I have included a rifle as well as a helmet as part of his gear.
His center torso piece could easily be made removable. |
