Hey guys,
Just wanted to get a thread going here for a project that I'm working on with Paul (Zeronis) Kwon.
It's called Mekanizer and currently is a collection of collectible desktop 1/8th scale figurines (9inches from head to toe). Think, Queensblade mixed with Monster Hunter.
To give you a tiny bit of information on Mekanizer and where our cast of characters are coming from, Remi is number 7 of 12 instructors an academy that trains recruits to hunt mech's. We plan to create another 11 instructors, each with their own fighting techniques and weapon class/ fighting style, all with with a cohesive 'mekanized' / feel to weapons and armor, similar to Remi-7.
The first figure is Remi-7 which you may have seen me post about in the recent past.
"Remi-7 is an elite instructor at a Mekanizer (Mech hunter) training facility, where she teaches the scythe style of fighting. All of her students admire her skill, and often skip their other classes to spy on her personal training sessions in hope of catching glimpses of her famous rocket-scythe techniques! Her fearsome skill with her custom-built rocket-scythe is only surpassed by her appetite for sweet candy!"
Here are some shots of the 2d artwork and final sculpt!
Here is an interactive 360 spin of the sculpt:

She is currently being printed and I should have pics of the master copy soon enough which I will update here!
Im also in the process of painting her up digitally and will post up some shots of that as she gets finished!
We are currently in the process of working out the selling / distribution side of things and will update this thread on when and where you can get yourself a copy of Remi-7. She will available in both grey resin format, and fully painted.
This is a personal venture, fully funded by myself and Paul, so your support would be going straight to two artist's who are simply doing what they love to do!
I hope you guys like her, and stay tuned as we develop this line of characters!

She came out SPOT on compared to the concept.
I cannot wait to see the other 11!!!!
Looks amazing Troy! I WANT IT ON MY DESK NOW
I'd love to have her sitting on my desk
Thanks for catching that Dustin! There is a lot of back and forth between myself and Paul, man this face went through a few iterations and minute adjustments, we actually drifted away from the original concept with regards to proportion and volume etc. I think that's what happens when you put 2 picky artists together and they are both pushing for the same thing haha! Sometimes though, I think its possible that you might end up fucking things up when you do that too much!
I try to check your defiantart profile everyday for updates. Keep it up man hope the print will have the quality that she deserves
Getting closer to having some more details for ordering a copy, if you are genuinely interested in securing a copy, PM me!
That price includes shipping.
The copies of Remi will be available at the end of march for purchase!
Here is a couple or early concepts of the second Mekanizer girl! Alice 5
And maybe this time we will be able to afford production of a cast off version.
Can't wait to see Alice 5 though !!
Cool.
I setup a webstore and she can be purchased on that here:

A few snaps of my build!
How many parts did you end up having to print it in?
Is it a plastic print ?
Texelion: We have a painted version on the way too! They are resin casts
EbolaV: Thank you man, we both really appreciate that!!
