With my wife slowly getting better each day, I feel like I can truly put some effort into my custom projects and truly feel it. I've been on autopilot for some time. I've also got a long overdue project for someone I'll be finishing up this week too.
Anyway, Project 87 is a collection of characters created in my major gaming days in high school. We collectively created a vast universe of characters, both player and non player. This is a small way of re-living that magical time for me, which was probably my peak of creativity. I don't really have a lot of backstories for these, just designs.
Unlike my Ultra City figures, these are just being made to display for me. A lot of the stuff I did back then might have been repetitive, but I can see the evolution of what I eventually became as a customizer. I was obviously highly influenced by Dave Cockrum and Mike Grell from Legion in the 80's and maybe a little Perez. Mostly it just comes from my odd sense of design, color and dynamics. I'm making only minor tweaks, the original 1987 designs are intact.
I hope to have some of these made soon to go with the MegoMeet figures I'll have available and the auction figure I'm attempting. I thank you all for your continued support. I'm not sure what my life would be like if I hadn't discovered this hobby.
