The beast that we brought forth for this project is based on Nagata's very own gigantic potato creature, Eyezon! I personally really like Eyezon and always wanted to see what he may look after some time in the Glyos System. I call this guy Zoneye, in honor of Mark's core design and fantastic creativity.
The process to put this guy together was our standard approach. I made a rough drawing, went to the shop and showed Ron. He made an awesome buck with moving parts that I then butchered with a dremel, blade and chisel. Added some compound and then more shaping and the inevitable infinite sanding. Cleaned the final sculpt and then primed it. Next came a blast of silver coating followed by an assault of washes and detailing. The mechanical spud was then dry brushed like crazy and the eyes were sealed with clear coat.
I literally only got to take a few pictures and he was off to Japan for the Friday opening. We really wanted to make some molds and pour off some urethane copies. Maybe if Zoneye returns home we can do that... in the meantime something else is nearing completion.
Thanks go out to Mark Nagata for letting us be part of another fun project! Good luck in Japan Mark!
