The sculpt doesn't work very well with the all black color scheme. There's a lot going on and without some more color contrast it just looks like spaghetti. Seeing a better picture with a white background might help with that. But the sculpt itself is pretty silly. A monster coming out of a teddy bear, it's just kind of jokey.
i will admit this pic is terrible. but ive seen some better pics of him, hes okay. i didnt like it at first, but its growing on me (although im not going to buy it).. there is a fair amount going on though. i personally think he should have used one of his other creatures.. im not a huge fan of the stuff he draws with kids in glass stomachs.
jokey? not a fan of pardees art? its some of my fav
I didn't know Alex Pardee was a thing until I saw this toy. His art's OK I guess. I'm not a big fan of horror art, and I don't know what he's got against backgrounds, but it's OK.
and stephen i just googled a bit around and also noticed his "laziness" towards backgrounds in his artwork...but i like how colorful some of his pieces are - those ones really stick out!
lol, thats kinda a weird thing to bring up.. hes got so much going on in the foreground it doesnt really matter whats going on in the background (imo).. im assuming he doesnt put stuff in his backgrounds cause thats not what he wants you to focus on..? horror art is my thing, i like all things dark, demented, and satanic. soooo maybe its just cause i have an interest in that stuff already (dont believe in religion, listen to satanic death metal, yelling satan at the stupid Jehovah witnesses that come to my door and waste my time, as well as waking me up sometimes, etc)
this is one of my fav ones (movie is awesome too), and look he even put stuff in the background: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tu...
really bummed they didnt choose that for the DVD cover, although i could see why someone would say its not fit for a DVD cover
Ya. IMO Alex is a genius. I love horror, movies, videos games and of course art. I agree with blindbox in the sense that Alex doesn't need backgrounds, he cleary wants people to focus on his character work. I'm gonna pick this figure up at my local vinyl shop sometime today. I am personally really happy with the piece.

This thing is just a mess. The last two KR Blacks have gone very wrong.
