Manga bust

[quang]

I went to the IPMS show at Ransart today.

Saw this cracking bust, obviously a manga or video game character of some sort. Anybody knows anything about the ref. or the manufacturer of this piece?

In the mean time, enjoy the picture

Ransart, was that today? Damn, missed it...

 

[quang]

Today AND to-morrow.

You can meet Gino there at his Figure Royale stand.

Tomorrow as well .... hmmm. Don't know if I can, I'll try to arrange for some transport.... Can't promise anything however.

Would be good for buying some stuff that I urgently need though - some acrylic paints for starters, if they sell that overthere at one of the stands.

 

[quang]

They do sell Vallejo and Mig acrylics.

I won't be there to-morrow. Have to stay home and pretend to paint.

Q.

 

[Johan]

Ah well.... but I will certainly catch up with you on the 7th March in Antwerp then...possibly on the 6th, but can't say for sure (Saturday = shopping day)

Quang,

I don't know anything about this type of figure but it sure looks very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Though I'm not much of a manga fan, I do like the stylized look of that bust. Thanks Quang.~Gary

 

[quang]

Exactly my point, Gary.

It's the masterful stylization (?) that sets this bust apart. Look how the neck is abnormally stretched and still remains so natural. Sculptor's magic!

Quang,it's a bust of Chun-Li,one of the characters in the "Street Fighter" computer game.Cheers.Kenneth. :lol:

 

[quang]

Thanks, Kenneth for your input.

BTW do you know Paul Quek and Calvin Tan (of Miniature Alliance). I know it sounds silly but they also live in Singapore so who knows?

Cheers,

[yeo_64]

Yes,I do;they're good friends of mine in fact ! Cheers. Kenneth.
