From the Deep


A while back, Rotofugi and Squibbles Ink approached me about an artist based toy project they were thinking about. They gave me the position of sculpting all of the prototypes, all of which would be LAKE MONSTERS...needless to say, I was okay with that.

Months later, I'm proud to present the first production sample of my monster BIG MUSCAMOOT!  (With a little interweb searching, you might find out what the name is a reference to.) The photo is a raw unpainted vinyl of one of many upcoming colorways.

This is my first produced toy, something I've been waiting the better part of my life for.  I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, thus far, I have yet to see one in person, and what they will look like painted.  

No official release date just yet, but I'm already well into the sculpt for the next figure, news on that soon!  Keep an eye on THE LAKE MONSTERS website for more info and photos of the sculpted prototype.

Tons more other stuff in the works, as always... keep it locked.

oh my goodness. the link you provided! The sculpture that's sitting on a couch is remarkably unique. :) I like yours a lot. I don't mean to take some away of its uniqueness, but it reminds me of one of the Gorons from The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Really awesome!

Congatulations Chris! It's about time your amazing creatures were brought to life as production toys. The Lake Monsters will be a huge hit with collectors and fans of your art.
