As the “odd-jobs” graphic design here at DST, I’m sometimes called in to do unusual projects!
(You know what I mean if you’ve seen the 360 animated spins of the Ultimate Quarter Scale Star Wars Figure and the Minimate Dioramas).

And today my random skills were called in again…and this time it was for our hot mamma Femme Fatale Little Red!

Oh Little Red! What kind of trouble are you in today?

And she’s Back… in Black… (more…)

About 6 years ago, DSTChuck wanted to design a house brand focusing on the popularity of ‘goth’ products.  The plan was to take some of the public domain fairy tale characters and give them a more modern look and feel.  A lot of people spent a lot of time at DST working on proposals for buyers, package concepts, category options, and marketing strategies.  Unfortunately, unavoidable circumstances caused the project to go to the backburner.  Now that the Femme Fatales line has taken off, DSTChuck is looking to reinvent some of the reinventions and use them in this PVC line.  Kicking things off is the new Little Red Riding Hood (Li’l Red, for short).  The images I’ve included show you how we went from the original concept sketch to Sam Greenwell’s sculpt and finished with Kat Sapene’s paint.

When Joe Linsner started Linsner.com, the first item released was the “Back In Black” print.  It is by far my favorite piece of artwork from Joe, so it was a lock for DST’s new line of PVC statues.  It probably should have come out before “School’s Out” but I’ve got this weakness for plaid and well, you understand.  Anyway, the minute Sam was free to start on another project for me, I gave him Back In Black.  Here is a work-in-progress look.

For your viewing pleasure I bring you Kat’s painted casting of the Dawn: Back In Black PVC statue.  I asked her to make sure the piece maintained the maturity and sexiness of the original art and she came through with flying colors (pardon the awful pun).
