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.

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.

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
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.
Soccer theme.

George Bush - Superman theme. Should get popular, since most of my clients like to feature their bosses as Superman.:)

Marilyn Monroe......'s body in caricature form. Of course not the head. Hahaha....

That famous tennis player - but I don't know her name. Hahaha...... Saw her on TV before.

One of the customers.

Soldier on a tank. Should be popular among Singapore Armed Forces.

Tennis player theme. You can change the colour of the shirt and short etc, at a slight extra cost of $10. ( The body and colour are all ready-made, except the head.)

Graduation theme.

Bruce Lee theme.

Another Bruce Lee theme.

Another customer's caricature.

Baby with milk bottle.

Soccer theme - another hot theme, even not within the World Cup period.
