Unidentified Monstrous Organisms

I recently lent an artistic hand to Philip Reed of Battlegrip.com when he asked for some header card art for his first ever custom resin toy!

Dubbed Unidentified Monstrous Organisms, these weird monsters defy description. Philip showed me a few pictures of the beast(s) on his Flickr account...

...and from there I came up with this:

Philip then used my Unidentified Monstrous Illustration to create the header card art!

Finally, here's the entire package, which arrived here today!

Here's the whole kit and caboodle from the back:

And here's another close-up look at that beautiful card art ;)

Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't let the monster out of the bag and review him too!

Sculpted in resin, hand painted and made up of miscellaneous and custom made components, this is a pretty oddball monster for sure!

This is Philip's first foray into custom toymaking, and the first custom toy I've ever owned as well, so it's a pretty cool thing to be a (albeit small) part of.

The monster looks like some sort of trash heap come to life (that's is of course a compliment,) and all the funky details and shiny paint really make this guy pop.

Philip gave me this one in trade for the art I did, and he's sold almost all of his stock for this very limited run. Check with him at Battlegrip.com quickly if you're interested in Series One, or keep your eyes peeled for future series releases! No word yet on who'll be doing the card art for those ;)

Thanks Philip!
