Fawn Warden - Mini Custom Dunny Series

June 15, 2017 / Emelie Jensen

Hey Peeps! So I've had a little break after ToyCon UK and I am supposed to have one allot longer but I can not keep away from my darling toys! So I thought I'd give a little mini series a go. I love fawns and thought they'd be a great first Mini series.

So this is what's going to happen. I am customising six 3" Dunnys which will look the same but all will come in different colours. You can see the colour range below:

Take a pick out of these six different colours, but there will only be one of each. Each custom will cost £72.00 with free shipping within the UK and £10.00 shipping for the rest of the world. Each will also come with a one off mini print which will be signed by yours truly. All will be shipped within 3 weeks, and no later than then 6th of July, 2017.

Pre-Orders will go live tonight at 9.00 PM BST over at my bigcartel store HERE!
Let's make my first mini series a success! I am so excited to do one and don't really know why I haven't done one before!
Thank you all for you support and love! <3

"Bulli-Corns" - Custom Fonzo's for Collect & Display

August 22, 2016 / Emelie Jensen

tomodachi_island_collect_and_display_monthly_custom_fonzo.jpg

Hey hey hey.... again! Yes the blog entry's will keep on coming cause I've got so much work to do over the next few months and so many awesome new customs. I've got so many shows on this year that I haven't got time to do my own stuff in between. I promise I'll organize next year a little bit better and try to balance things a bit more. But as for now, these three are for the Monthly Custom Series over at Collect & Display! Woho!

So who are these guys then? They are the Bulli-Corns! And what is a Bulli-Corn you might want to ask?! Let's just say that they might be the softest and cuddliest magical creatures on the planet. However their magic don't work unless they feel loved and get at least 50 snuggles a day, and that is just the minimum. Really the Bulli-Corn want's to be close to you 24/7.

So before you adopt one make sure you can give it all the love it requires or he might just simply fade away. But it's now like you can resist those snugly creases and chops anyway, is it?

There is three different sizes of Bulli-Corns. There is:

SMALL 3.5"

£60.00

MEDIUM 4.5"

£69.00

LARGE 6"

£82.00

These Bulli-Corns will be available from Collect & Display on the 26th of August 2016. I will get back to you with the exact time of the release a little bit later. But yeah, make sure you don't miss out cause these little dudes are so damn sweet!!! <3

Ori - 14" Custom "Bode Broad"

June 18, 2016 / Emelie Jensen

This is Ori! My first fully human custom! I did do the Space Crab last year that had a human face but this is the first full body human I've done. It has really been something! I don't want to send her of to her owner hahaha!

I've been working on her for about a week, even though I started roughly two weeks ago. I had a few things to finish in between. She was a "Bode Broad" by Mark Bode originally and I have seen quite a few of these Bode Broads popping up around IG. To be honest I wasn't a big fan of the original toy. Not until I had her in the post and got to hold her in my hands and have a good look at her.

This toy is so well sculpted and something you can't appreciate in a photo. Every curve in her body is perfect and she is so well weighted. Even though she was well sculpted there were many bits that wouldn't work with the style I wanted to go for. I had a long an hard job in front of me. Cutting her drape off was the hardest part! I decided to keep it at first but as I went along it was just getting in the way. So I brought out my dremel and started hacking away at it. At this point there was no turning back and I just had to go with it. Little did I know of the massive lump of resin that was sitting in her feet. I nearly killed myself getting that out but I won in the end. After this I had to re-sculpt her legs which took me an age. If there is one thing I've learnt over the past year, it is that nothing will get in my way of achieving what I want when it comes to customizing.

Her face was the most important thing to me. I wanted her to look like one of my Sci-Fi Pinup girls, so I had to restructure her face. Getting the eyes in there was not easy and this is when I wish I had more than one set of hands. After allot of struggling and re-positioning I managed to secure them in one place. But before I even started sculpting, I had to find a way to make her visor.... took me a while to figure that one out. After allot of thinking I had a light-bulb moment! It was a bit of a gamble to be fair, but worked out! I found a place online that did see through Christmas tree baubles in all sorts of colours and since I needed the visor to have a slight bend in it, it seemed like the perfect option. I ordered two different sizes as I didn't know which one would be the right size. Funny enough the smaller one had the exact same bend as her face. WIN! I also redid her nose and added those big ears. Don't even get me started on the ears.....

Do you know how hard it is to sculpt ears? No?! I do! LOL! :D It is hard. And what is even harder is to get them somewhat symmetrical. Symmetry is the bane of my life. I am addicted to it! To sum it all up this have been majorly challenging but an absolute blast! I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time so when I got asked for a Bode Broad commission I jumped at the opportunity! I really want to design my very own Pinup Vinyl Toy one day! That would be a dream come true! I've got so many ideas and a much better understanding of it now.

What an awesome piece of vinyl!!! Thank you for letting me work on this pure piece of beauty Josh!

The Glowing Leaf Tribe - Gorudo & Gin

January 13, 2016 / Emelie Jensen

"The Golden Leaf Tribe persists of a group of fox like creatures and is located deep in the Whispering woods. Some say that these creatures guard the very heart of Tomodachi Island, in the shape of a golden glowing leaf. However no one knows for sure as nobody will get through the force barrier that the tribe have created around the heart. They are gentle creatures, but they have sworn to always protect whatever it is that they protect, with their lives.
You often hear their hymns echoing through the forest and it brings calm to all who live within the Whispering Woods."

Gorudo

This is Gorudo. Not much is known about him as he along with the rest of the tribe tend to keep to themselves. All we know really is that he paints his body in different golden leaf patterns and that his hymn is one of the most beautiful we've ever heard.

Gorudo sits on a 4" Nakanari Spiki platform. He's been airbrushed with acrylics and carefully finished with a fine brush. He's got fine golden touches on the back of his head and down his back.

Gorudo will be for sale this coming Friday the 15th of January from my BigCartel store at 21.00 BST. £100 with FREE UK shipping. You can find a preview HERE!

Gin

This is Gin. Just like Gorudo there is little we know about her. All we know is what we've seen from a far and on pictures. She seems to be very obsessed with her hair and she likes to decorate it with silver streaks. In general the members of the tribe seem to be very fond of metals like silver and gold.

Gin sits on a 4" Nakanari Spiki platform. She's been airbrushed with acrylics and carefully finished with a fine brush. Shes got silver streaks running down her hair and a small silver leaf on her forehead.

Gin will be for sale this coming Friday the 15th of January from my BigCartel store at 21.00 BST. £100 with FREE UK shipping. You can find a preview HERE!

I've worked very hard on both of these little fox creatures and spend many many hours on sculpting their features and especially the hair on both of them. They will be the last toys for a little while besides from a few commissions that I still have to finish. I need to focus on my stock for ToyCon UK now and I can't wait to get started. I've got allot of work to do, and I hope I will be able to pull it off. I am extremely excited about going to ToyCon UK and I want everything to be perfect! You will see many new and exciting things happening here this coming year. 2016 will definitely be a very good year! And starting it off with these two that I'm very very happy with feel very good.

Goo-Jo - Custom Muttpop Tequila

November 25, 2015 / Emelie Jensen

Say Hi to Goo-Jo! My very first Muttpop Tequila custom. He's a commission for Josh who read one of my comments about how I really wanted to customize a Tequila and so he contacted me and sent me one! How awesome is that?! I was over the moon of course and I still am. What an awesome platform this is. It is so well sculpted and the pose is just magnificent too.

Now Goo-Jo is a bit tougher than what you're used to seeing from me. I tend to work with cute most of the time. But after doing the Space Crab I've been so eager to try out new grounds and yet again I was given a platform that gave me a challenge. I'm sure I could have turned him into something cute, but I didn't want to. And I kind of am in a Steampunk mood at the moment as well, which I haven't been for many years, so I am trying to apply that to the things I am working on at the moment.

The biggest challenge with Goo-Jo were the textile elements and the metal ones. Instead of sculpting I decided to give fabric, in this case leather, a go. I am pretty used to sewing but making clothes for models is a whole new spectrum to me. So after allot of fiddling and no patterns, no I had to sew it all on to him lol, I finally managed to make him a jacket! And the leather straps too.

I even made the little buckles out of armature wire that I painted in a bronze colour. It was tricky, but looked great in the end. You can actually buckle the helmet up if you want to, it works :D

I also engraved the helmet with my Dremel. That took a while and was probably what took the longest too.

So here's to another successful custom and to great people like Josh who gave me the chance to work on this amazing fella. Thank you Josh!

The Space Crab Wars - Custom Space Crab

November 02, 2015 / Emelie Jensen

tomodachiisland_spacecrab_spacecrabwars_designercon_martiantoys.jpg

My biggest project so far is finally finished! Or maybe not biggest but definitely the longest. 7 long weeks it's taken me to finish this beast. It's not even big but the task was a beast.

The Space Crab Wars is the first show I was invited to and from the second I had the invite I knew I wanted to make something very special. I know that it is a good idea to stay within one set style as a designer. But if I can't progress in my work then I see no point in creating, so I really wanted to step out of my box and do something out of the norm. The Space Crab platform allowed me to do so. It took me a long long time to figure out what to do with it but when it finally came to me I knew it was right.

It all started with a sketch of her head in a helmet and then I just went on from there. I think the first thing I decided on was the colour scheme. I knew exactly what I wanted with the dessert cammo and the contrast of her pink hair. I like the mix of masculine and feminine and I think it softens the whole "war" theme going on.

It was hard though, not to make her to cute and to maintain the masculine part of it. I did work on the paint of her face for a very long time to get it right.

The Bunny Side of Things

Now then.... This was the unplanned side of this Space Crab that I, in the end, put most of my work in to. I weren't supposed to use the helmet at all. In fact I was about to throw it out and then this thing popped up in my head. Now for some reason I didn't sketch it out, I just started building this thing without any references or sketches at all. I'm sure it would have saved me allot of time if I did plan it better. But I just went on with it.

This is the first vehicle I've ever made and getting all the parts together took a very long time. All the bits are made out of Super Sculpey but as the Space Crab helmet is hard plastic it's not oven safe so I had to do the details and put the Sculpey bits together with Epoxy. Epoxy.... where do I start. I do love it as it is extremely strong and opens up many opportunities that I wouldn't have had with just Sculpey. But it is very messy and hard to work with, plus that the long curing time just prolongs things even more. Saying that, I could not have made this little dude if it weren't for the Epoxy. So yes I have developed a little love/hate relationship with Epoxy.

I also found it hard to find the right accessories for him, like the wheels. I managed to get the ones I wanted in the end, and also had to wait for them for about 3 weeks as they came all the way from China! And I'm not even going to tell you about the paint. Let's just say I had to wait a long time for that too.

In the End

I completed these two customs with an enormous feeling of satisfaction! Not only did I push myself but I also feel that I've created something that I can be very proud of and I think it will be a great addition to our European Team. There is some awesome customs from my Team in general and I really wanted to do my very best to make them proud of me. I hope we take home the Victory in November as I think it would be a great achievement for the EU Toy Scene! And I want to thank Jon-Paul Kaiser for personally choosing me to be part of his team of awesomeness!!! GO TEAM EU!!!!

Gizo & Kuma - 3" Custom "Keep Watch" Kidrobot Dunny's

September 18, 2015 / Emelie Jensen

Whilst waiting for supplies for my Steam Punk series I thought I'd finish the Mishka Dunnys that I bought quite some time ago. I also wanted to try out my new amazing Iwata Eclipse Airbrush. All I can say about it, is that it is amazing. Sooooo smooth compared to my old one and such a nicely weighted piece of kit. It rests amazingly well in your hand. I will get some more accessories and nibs for it though so that I can start to work on some very fine detail. I can definitely recommend the Iwata Eclipse to anyone who wants to start airbrushing. A++++++++++!

Now, I wanted to focus more on the painting on these two as the sculpt would be limited. So I decided to work with nice gradients and animal print. Animal print have been on my list for a while, but I haven't really made anything that it would suit until now. I also wanted to give these real bright colours as I tend to work with pastel and quite dull colours normally. The challenge was to look outside of the box and come up with the colour palettes. It is safe to say that I need a kick in the right direction when it comes to colour so I had to look at I don't know how many colour palettes online. I finally came up with these which I think compliment each other really well.

The "Keep Watch" Dunny have been great fun to work on and the base sculpt is lovely and detailed. All in all a great experience.

Kuma

This is Kuma. She's a bundle of joy to say the least. She loves anything sweet and festive and yes, her most favorite thing of all is fancy dress. And she makes all her costumes her self of course.

Gizo

Gizo and Kuma are the best of friends and Gizo loves fancy dress just as much as Kuma if not even more (but hush don't tell Kuma). Gizo too makes her own costumes but another favorite thing of hers is to make origami.

Gizo and Kuma will be available from my BIg Cartel store on Monday the 21st of September at 9.00 PM BST (GMT+1) at £82.00 each with Free Shipping within the UK (£10.00 for the rest of the world).

Seishin Spiki - 4" Custom Nakanari Spiki for NYCC and Martian Toys

September 01, 2015 / Emelie Jensen

Here he is! My Seishin Spiki for Martian Toys and New York Comic Con! It is my very first show piece and I couldn't be more excited about participating in "Spiki Attacks New York Comic Con"... I am part of an amazing line up where many of my favourite artists and toys designer can be seen as well. I just feel so honored to be part of this and I hope it is the first of many shows to come.

It's been nice to work on something different than a Dunny as I tend to work on those platforms and awful lot. Spiki caught my eye some time ago and I always wanted to customize one. I have so many platforms sitting on a shelf just waiting to have some work done to them, but I do find it very hard to find the time to get it all done. Work and baby seem to take up most of my time these days but I do appreciate my toys even more so now that I can't work on them every day.

He's an awesome little custom and I hope he will find a forever home over at NYCC next month. He will be available from Martian Toys both along with an array of different custom Spiki's.

I don't know when the next lot of customs will be ready as my airbrush decided to pack up half way through painting little Spiki here. So I will have to get another one. It was nice to work on Spiki the traditional way though and I managed to get some real nice detail in there like the fur on the back of his arms for example. I don't think I would have done that if my airbrush'd still been working.

I will keep you posted though as I have a load of ideas for the next lot of customs. Hope you enjoy looking at Spiki until then! <3

Little Batlings - 3" Custom Dunnys

July 27, 2015 / Emelie Jensen

My Little Batlings are finally finished! I've been working on them for about two weeks now. I never thought I would have as little time as I do now after going back to work and all. But I do my best to squeeze in as much toy work as possible when I can.
These Batlings are probably the best customs I've made so far. I have spent so much time on every little detail and I kept sanding and adjusting them for about two days. My airbrushing skills are becoming better and better as well and I think this really shows in the final paint job. Actually I think I am ready for finer detail but I need a new airbrush before I can start practicing that. So I need to save up for a bit. Anyway, I hope you like these little Batlings and don't forget to check the store on Monday night if you want to grab one for yourself. Enjoy reading their stories below.

"The little Batlings live in the deep caverns of Tomodachi Island. Funny enough these little creatures are very scared of the dark. This has resulted in the Caverns being one of the brightest places on Tomodachi Island. They have decorated the caverns with bright fairy-lights in all the colors of the rainbow. Their furs are naturally dark and quite dull but they have sorted this out themselves as well by painting each other in various colors and patterns. "Dark" is just something they don't want to know about, so they pretend that it does not exist at all."

Loki

This is Loki. He is sleepy most of the time and he absolutely loves stars, however he is terrified of the dark. It's a bit tricky as you can only see the stars when it's dark so some of the creatures of Tomodachi Island has come to Lokis rescue and collected fallen stars for him so that he can enjoy the things he love the most without having to venture out in the scary darkness outside of the caverns.

Pellie

And this is Pellie. She might be one of the sweetest little creatures that you can find in the caverns. Always spreading love around her wherever she goes. Of course she is obsessed with anything heart shaped and sparkly. Her most favorite thing to do is to hug and snuggle.

Fioline

Little Fioline. Constantly running in and out of the caverns to collect all the beautiful flowers she can carry. In fact it is probablt time for a little clean out soon, as the flowers have almost taken over the caverns. The other Batlings love treasure and bling, but not Fioline. She prefers to fall asleep on a bed of flowers every night.

Guster

And Guster of course. Who can forget about Guster. Let's just say he's pretty loud. Always high on sugar and his laughter can be heard echoing through the caverns. He likes to play pranks on the Owlings that live and guard the treasures in the caverns. He sure is a prankster, the little devil.

All the Batlings will be available from my Big Cartel store from 09.00 PM BST (GMT+1) on Monday the 27th of July. Be there or be square!

The Leaflings - Creatures of the Whispering Woods

June 05, 2015 / Emelie Jensen

I never thought I'd be able to finish these before my two weeks holiday to Sweden. I meant to finish them yesterday but got really ill and had to stay in bed all day. I don't know what the illness was as it is completely gone today. I had a high fever and everything and slept all day. I think I might have over worked myself again, trying to get as much done as possible before my holiday. Ah well, I am ok now anyway and I am looking forward to the first Holiday in a long time and I can't wait to hang out with all my friends and family. I miss them so much!

"The Leaflings are tiny little creatures living in the thick undergrowth of the Whispering Woods. During the day they venture up into the tree canopy to get as much sun as possible. They do this as it gets pretty cold and dark under the thick vegetation that covers the ground of the Whispering Woods. They are creatures with strong powers and through their crystals they bring balance and peace to their surroundings."

These Leaflings sit on a 3" Kidrobot Dunny Platform. Painted with acrylics and finished with a matte UV resistant varnish. It carries three Amethyst Crystals around its neck which are said to provide calm, balance, patience, and peace.

"This Leafling has reached his final for as a Seishin. This means that it is ready to leave Tomodachi Island and cross over to the Spirit world called Seishin. Since all Leaflings carry crystals and feel very lost without them they are allowed to bring them when they pass to Seishin."

This Seishin Leafling sits on a 3" Kidrobot Dunny Platform. Painted with acrylics and finished with a matte UV resistant varnish. It carries a Rose Quartz crystal arround its neck which is known as the 'love stone' as the message it emits is the strong vibration of unconditional love, joy, warmth and healing.

I decided to change the name of the spirit world to Seishin as Yurei is a bit to dark for Tomodachi Island. So the new name for it is Seishin. These will be the last Dunnys for a little while. I am going to take a nice long break in Sweden and just enjoy life with family and friends. I hope to come back with a fresh mind and allot of new inspiration. I am also going back to work on the 25th of June so that will be interesting. I work part-time in a pet shop and I am really looking forward to going back after a year of maternity leave.
Now I got to pack for tomorrow! The Dunnys will be up for sale from 6.00 pm (GMT +1) in my Big Cartel shop HERE!

Karii and Ekii - Creatures of the Whispering Woods - 3" Custom Kidrobot Dunnys

May 28, 2015 / Emelie Jensen

Karii and Ekii are finished! I know I've said it before but I have to say it again! I LOVE WORKING ON THESE LITTLE THINGS! I am definitely addicted to Dunnys and I can't stop working on the platform. Anyway who cares! Keep reading for a closer introduction of these two little fellas.

"Karii comes from the northern part of the Whispering Woods. It is slightly colder here but his coat is thick and warm. Karii is part of the Deer Folk tribe. This tribe always travel in heards through the woods. Just like deers they are always on their guard and they can be quite hard to spot. They specialize in camouflage and melt in with their surroundings really well. Not much is known about them as they tend to keep to themselves. Maybe they will let us in one day, but until then, lets enjoy their beauty from a distance."

Keep in mind that these are only 3" tall and the detail on the wood was very time consuming.

Karii came out just as cute as I'd planned and I think he looks pretty much exactly like the picture I drew. Whispering Woods is such a large part of Tomodachi Island and I have got loads of creatures lined up from this part. I wish I had more than two hands sometimes...

"Ekii is a shy little creature. Part of the species Snubble Folk. He is very small, about the size of a house mouse and his favourite thing to do is to build little nests inside of old tree trunks. Don't think that his nests would look anything like a mouses though. Oh no, Ekii spends allot of time planning and gathering the perfect materials for his nests. They may be small but oh so grand! He is a craftsman and his handy work is quite impressive. Maybe he will show us one day, but for now only the Snubble folk of the Whispering Woods will truly know what his creations look like, as they are the only ones he work for."

I think it is obvious that Ekii took me the longest to make. His pine-cone/acorn hat nearly drove me insane. Saying that I probably didn't have to spend half as long on it as I did. I have discovered that the scalpel is a much better "sanding" tool than sandpaper, so get things very even. This also mean that I have found another way of getting lost in nit picking and fine-tuning.....

Oh the tiny tiny detail.....

Both Ekii and Karii are available for purchase in my BigCartel shop: HERE!

Swashbuckling Judith - 3" Kidrobot Dunny Commission

May 13, 2015 / Emelie Jensen

"Swashbuckling Judith - She is the Queen of Candy Coves sister, believe it or not. Several years ago she was caught leaving the Island on a pirate ship that was passing by. Now she travels the seven seas together with her pirate mateys in search of treasure. Some say that she's lost her mind, but who knows. She's not set foot on Tomodachi Island since she left so these are only rumors. She was last seen on a ship heading towards Switzerland"

My very first Dunny Commission! I am in love with 3" Dunnys and I have gotten myself a smaller army of them after this. I was so daunted by working on something so small. But it turned out to be a delight to work on these 3" beauties!

Swashbuckling Judith sits on a 3" Kidrobot Sword Swallower Dunny!

She's got a pretty collection of skull beads decorating her hat.

And who can travel the seven seas on a pirate ship without a Jolly Roger? Not Judith anyway!

Rikki Tikki - 5" MADL

April 27, 2015 / Emelie Jensen

"Rikkit Tikki - The coolest girl at the Bamboo Coast. She wasn't cool before her one of a kind Adidas pumps got washed up on the beach on day though. Now she struts around in her pumps with everyone being super jealous. After she got her shoes she just wont wear anything else but black and white to match. Strange little thing she is, but she sure has got the coolest pumps on the Island... "

She came out so sweet! I've been working hard over the weekend to finish Rikki Tikki. I've promised a preview of my sale for today and so I just had to finish her. I am happy to say that all is ready to go now! I've been so busy over the past two months trying to get my first sale up. I am very proud of myself to say the least. Two months ago I didn't have any custom toys and now I've finished 10 (!). You will get the preview later today as I am still to price everything.

Rikki Tikki sits on a 5" MadL platform. Sculpted with Super Sculpey, painted with acrylics and finished with a UV resistant matte varnish. The pompoms are needle felted :)

She will be available from the webshop on Friday the 1st of May at £110. More info to come!

The Passing to Yūrei - 4" Kidrobot Rooz

April 20, 2015 / Emelie Jensen

"He was once a magnificent beast from the Whispering Woods. He migrated to the Sakura Sanctuary quite some time ago now. He has now reached his final form as a Yūrei and is now ready to leave the island to become part of the spirit realm."

Rooz is now finished and I've almost hit the finish line. One more to go and the sale is only a week and a half away. I am very happy with Rooz and so pleased to have worked on this kidrobot platform. I know he is quite rare, but I don't understand why. It is amazing to work on and has a super cute silhouette.

The are hard to come by but I hope to work on this platform again in the future. I always keep an eye out for good deals and rare platforms so I am sure I will bump in to him again some time.

I used decals for his forehead and his back which worked really well with this job. For tiny detail I find the decals very handy and I love designing them on the computer. It can be a real struggle to work with when it's this small though. But with patience it will come together in the end.

"The Passing to Yūrei" will be part of the sale on May 1st at 12:00pm GMT.

The Miochos - Custom 2.5" Dudebox

April 16, 2015 / Emelie Jensen

"Well well well if it ain't the Miochos. They're part of the Queens guard but they are pretty lousy at their job. Laughing and joking about absolutely everything. No one knows why she hired them but I guess they do bring her a good laugh. There's not really anything to worry about on Tomodachi Island anyway, so why not laugh instead. "

Oh I am feeling productive this week and I've only got two more toys to finish and one drawing before my big sale on May 1st! I can't wait. Love how these came out and it was nice to work on something different this time. I do love sculpting but I think I will keep painting and using decals as well in the future. Especially on tiny vinyl figures like these 2.5" Dudeboxes.

These will be for sale at £35.00 each on May 1st!
