The Goon!
Posted by chukw on Thursday, April 23, 2015 1:16 PM

I've painted a couple of prototypes for Dark Horse Comics' new Goon figure.  The sculpt is by my buddy Sean McNally and is a real treat.   The figure in these photos is touring With Dark Horse's comic con booth.    The second fig has gone off to China as a master fro mass production.  Cheers!

Aside from your obvious amount of talent, how did you get that job? Seems like a dream job.

That's something I'd love to get into myself. :)

Absolutely phenomenal work. I'm very happy you've shared this!

I'm not that familar with the comic but awesome work there- I love the faded look on the shirt.

 Your posts are always a showcase for talent and entertainment, but I have a soft spot for figures and really enjoyed this.  You did an awesome job and thanks for posting.                    knox

Thanks, guys!   I was in the right place at the right time to get this job- kinda.  I had worked for an animation studio for 14 years, and one of last projects was to lead a storyboard team to board a script for a CG animated Goon feature.  It was the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign, and the Big Proze for the major donors was a Goon sculpture, cast in bronze-impregnated resin- swanky!  Later after my department had been canned (thanks- not!)- Dark Horse Comics decided to sell a painted version of the sculpt.  I still have friends at that studio, and one of my old buds was still in charge of the Goon project.  That's how I got the job!   Maybe more will follow- I hope so.  

Thanks for reading along- check out my current thread in the Dioramas forum-   http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/19/p/133231/1814044.aspx#1814044

Cheers!

That Goon looks awesome, mate!!  And it was a real pleasure to check him out with a Mk.1 Eyeball, brother!  I'd love to get some real instruction on figure painting, Chuk-style.  Feel free to edumacate my ignorant self. 

It's always a treat to check out your work - love your website, and your book, Chuk Art, Vol. 1, is awesome!  Cheap at twice the price!

I urge all you Chuk fans out there to contact him and get one for yourself!  Money well spent!

 

Cheers, LeeTree
