Ganmetall Celsius Show Custom: MeSmithey


Artist: MeSmithy
Platform: Celsius
Medium: Sculpy, acrylic, mylar... and the power of the sun!

Megan aka MeSmithy is usually know for her awesome stitched leather bound vinyl figures, so when I saw her awesome custom Celsius figure it was kinda a shock, as there is not a swatch of fabric to be found... nonetheless he painting skills are supreme as she totally killed this piece! Titled "900°" I love how the sculpy was added to give this piece an almost molten hot magma look, and along with the paint application, this custom really looks great on the Celsius platform! Come on out to see this piece in person at T.A.G aka Toy Art Gallery in Los Angeles on July 10th, 2010 for the Ganmetall Celsius Show!
