Introducing Stripper Spade

  I've had spades molds done for about a month now and managed to cast and paint a single prototype for display at the pacific northwest BJD convention BUT I didnt have time to finish his costume (aside from his gloves, boots and hat), his final costume is this futuristic armored bodysuit with a post apocalyptic/western flair to it, its actually rather complicated and wont be finished for a few months. 

 When I finally dressed him in the only finisehd parts of his costume i joked that he looked like a stripper, everyone at the convention loved stripper Spade so i decided to write it into his backstory. 

 In Spade’s downtime (being a bad ass bounty hunter Isn’t the most stable source of income), he’s a stripper Why not? Besides, he has the outfit and the butt for it   

 Since I really haven’t taken any good photos of him since I finished him, I built a set/lit it and took these finished pics.  I'll be posting three from the photoshoot pics on here.  The full set of 6 high res images (plus a HD wallpaper) Is an extra downloadable reward for our $4 and up Patrons on our Patreon page.(patreon link)---> www.patreon.com/break_step_vel…

     I think everyone will be happy with the finished Spade doll! He poses better than any doll I’ve ever made, especially with his boots on! They are broad with a lot of surface area that makes him extremely stable. I actually left him standing unsupported during the entire photoshoot and he didn’t fall over once.

    Spade like all my dolls is 100% handmade by myself, I sculpted him digitally from scratch, jointed him in ZBrush and then uploaded my finisehd models to Shapeways to print his master parts, I then sanded and finished the 3d prints to give them a perfect smooth finish. I then created silicone molds form them and cast his final pieces in urethane resin,  To finish his cast parts parts I sanded them then painted them using a combination of airbrush, brushed acrylics, and pastels. The finisehd parts i then strung with elastic cord to hold them tightly at the joints so that he is fully poseable.
