3D wedding figurine

Nice church setting. I like the sky colour especially. Looks cheerful.


The bride and the bridegroom, with the church setting in the background.

3d caricature dolly American Preschool mascot Happy Marian

This is a 3d mascot done for an American Pre-school - Happy Marian, in Taiwan. It was mass-produced and meant as a give away for their school anniversary celebration to all students.
This figurine is not made of those light and empty rubber or PVC, but made of clay. It is solid and feel the substance and value when you hold it in hands. Ideal for corporate gifts to your valued clients.

3D politician caricature figurines

Adam passed me some bobblehead Taiwan politician figurines to snap.
I took a few angles, and put them together in Photoshop.

These figurines were selling like hotcakes in the current election in Taiwan.

This Ma Ying Jiu (馬英九) figurine. His another nickname keeps floating in my mind - "My Angel". Heard it over radio. Rhymes, right?
Don't think this really look like him, personally. But Adam told me that his client insisted on this look. Client is always right. Just gives them what that want. Is it?


Xie Chang Ting (謝長廷) bobblehead figurine. This really have the caricature feel.


Su Zhen Chang (蘇貞昌) bobblehead figurine. Heard of his name in news, but can't really remember his look. Receding hairline is my impression of him. No impression of his look.

I am very bad in these politicians. Only knows Chen Shui Bian and Ma Ying Jiu, as my freind Eddie looks like him (in his ic photo, and looks like Michael Hui in reallife. Hahaha.....) the latter gives me the impression of an upright and more civilised Taiwan politician, if I see correctly.

Some recent 3d caricature figurine orders

Adam from Unusually Creation passed me these recent dolly orders to snap for him.

Groom carrying bride.


Basketballer.


A hip-hop lady.


A trendy grandma.


This is the 3 orders placed by this gentleman at my shop.
He ordered fully customized dollies. Need to do new moulds for the bodies and settings.


Created this sunset scene at the beach based on the photographs provided.
This is the plave where they have their wedding shots taken.
Romantic, right?
Recreated in caricature miniature forms as a remembrance of their good sweet time.


His family, in the living room setting, for display in his house.






This is a wedding gift for his friends.
The wedding is held in a church.



The wedding couple with their son and daughters.

3D caricature dollies - couple on Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible

Looks great when I put in this couple into the Beetle.

3d caricature dolly - bumper cars

Almost slipped my mind that this order will be due for collection today, till the supplier's brother called me in the morning, telling me that he will be delivering it to my home.
Luckily, they deliver the order on time. Phew!
If not, another chaotic day again.

3D caricature dollies - baseball and soccer players

Got the shock of my day upon receiving the dolly above, few hours before the client's collection.

Thought I made a mistake in the ordering part. The client ordered a soccer player dolly, but it turned out to be a baseball player. The baseball bat dropped out when I opened the box. Was wondering how come the goalpost so small, or was there a goalpost? Hahaha......

Called the supplier in China.

He checked and realised that his staff made a mistake.

He expedites on the order, and delivered to me few days later.

Phew. Luckily, the client can wait, though she was quite disappointed with the mistake and delay.

Didn't bring my D80 with me, when I received this from FedEx. Taken with my P990i.

first 2 sets of 3d caricature dollies arrived

Just arrived all the way from China to my doorstep.
Phew! One of the clients will be collecting at 12pm tomorrow.
Thought it may be late. Just slipped my mind to check with Adam when they will be sent in.
Not bad looking. Quite close resemblance, especially the first set.

3D caricature dolly display showcase

This showcase was setup last Saturday, just that didn't bring my camera in to snap.

Looked neater now, and more presentable, rather than squeezing with my other displays for space.

Wonder whether do I have to dismantle it when I am moving my gallery next year, when my contract expires?

3D caricature dolly

You may have seen these 3D caricature dollies in Singapore, Taiwan, China and even USA.
I had seen these in Bishan Junction 8. Some of my customers told me that they have seen these dollies in Kalm's. Yes, they are now available in Portrait Workshop. They are the products done by Usually Creation. Adam Koh, the boss of the company has been discussing with me on the possibilities of exchanging links on both of our website, for few months. Now, he will be leaving for China in managing the production side with Qminime. These 2 companies have merged. Given that they need some retail shops in Singapore to take orders and for their customers to collect, besides the Wedding Giftshop in Delphi Orchard, Portrait Workshop is the other reseller for them in Singapore. (In fact, he has placed more samples here, making Portrait Workshop the biggest reseller for their company in Singapore. With this additional product, my gallery now looks more like a gift shop. Hahaha...)
Adam told me that he has collected back on the samples in Kalm's Singapore outlets. Prices are still the same as you see on their website. I will have to get familiar with their prices, before the potential customers call up to enquire. Hahaha... head getting big. They have hundreds of ready-made, semi-customized, and fully customized dollies. It will take me some time to do it.
You may wonder why they have chosen Portrait Workshop? These are 3D caricature dollies. I am doing 2D caricatures. In terms of context, they are similar. Now, the customers have more variety to choose from. In fact, I have thought of doing such 3d caricatures 10 years ago. But, I am one-man-show. There's a limit of the quantity I can produce. These dollies production are labour-intensive and time consuming. Unusual Creation and Qminime have more than 50 artists to work on them, to cater to the world market. I have more interest in creating different drawings (3d digital caricatures too) than in the management side. Thus, I shelved the idea.
As these dollies are not done by me, you may expect a different styles in the modeling and sculpturing of the features, as well as the style. According to what Adam told me, they can get 60%-70% resemblance, based on the photo you provide. They have QC (quality control) after the head has been sculptured out, to check on the resemblance.
These are the 3d caricature dolly samples he has brought in this afternoon.
I will need some time to re-size the images and put them up on my website product page later.


All the dollies sitting on my drawing desk in my gallery now.
Of course, they are not here permanently. I will need to hunt for a rack or shelf to display them nicely. Need to do some shopping this weekend.
