Pop GO’s Official ‘Fan Favorite’ Tournament Bracket
Fan Favorite, our version of March Madness, officially begins today and will run all throughout the month of March!
32 of our staff’s personal favorite characters from 2011-2012 will battle it out in a 20-day, 5-round tournament. Each day you will have the opportunity to vote on match-ups between two characters and can help send one into the next round. Only 1 can be crowned champion when the dust clears on March 31, and they can only be crowned by YOU, our readers.
As you can see from our official Fan Favorite bracket above (view higher resolution), 16 Geek characters are lined up on the left and 16 Otaku characters are lined up on the right*. One character from each side will meet in a Geek vs. Otaku final to decide Pop GO’s ultimate Fan Favorite.
*Some video game characters were eligible as both Geek and Otaku.
Voting for today’s match-ups begins soon. Help decide the fate of these characters all month long!

This was one of my earliest static figure sculpts back in early 2009 and every time I look at it, I still can believe I made it. Whenever I get sculptor’s block, I tend to go back and refer to this piece.

Here’s a video of the Exiled Morgana I made
Whatyer Making Boy? - Exiled Morgana Sculpture
This is one of three figures I’ve been commissioned by a Riot employee; the other 2 characters will be kept secret until I start working on them.
The only instruction I had was to make her look how she does in their splash art. The figure itself was scratch built using polymer clay and hand-painted with acrylic paint. Her base was made with paper mache clay and the name plate is polymer clay. The accents and details on her dress were mainly modeled from her in-game sprite since that was my only source to see 360 degrees of reference material. You can see it’s a little different from her splash art.
Thanks to T0mT4yl0r on YouTube, I was able to get a pretty decent turn around reference.
As I mentioned in the video, I haven’t done a lot of free sculpted human type faces so that was the trickiest part for me. I felt a little overwhelmed when I started doing her wings, but once I got a system down to sculpt each feather it wasn’t too bad at all, just a little tedious (heh).
That’s one down, two more to go. After the Baron and Teemo Diorama I’ve been getting some requests, but my day job is about to start to full-time soon. That means I won’t be able to pump out these figures as quickly as I have been lately. Come summer break I will have more free time to sculpt figures freely.
Thanks for taking a look. I took still shots that you can see in my Flickr.

Exiled Morgana figure commission (set 2)
This is another commission request from someone working at Riot Games. She is the first of three that this person had requested. I’ll keep the other two as a surprise.
Like the other figures I made, this one was made using polymer clay and hand brushed with acrylic paints. She stands at just a little under six inches tall from the bottom of her base to the tip of her wings.
Per request, the person that commissioned me to do this wanted her pose just like her splash art. Hopefully I got as close to that as possible. A lot of the details and accents were based off of her in-game sprite. Thanks to T0mT4yl0r (http://www.youtube.com/user/T0mT4yl0r) I was able to get as close to these details as possible with the videos he had of her turn around.

Field trip to Riot ^_^
Bear from Riot (League of Legends) had won the auction of my Baron and Teemo diorama and hand delivered it to him personally at Riot HQ ^_^. The friendly faces of Bear and Misshollymonster greeted me as I passed off my work to them. Other Riotees also came to take a look and stared in amazement. It was awesomely awesome. Even the CEO Brandon Beck had passed by and complimented on my piece, we even shook hands. Much thanks to Bear from Riot for giving me this opportunity and much thanks to Riot for the inspiration. To be honest, I was a little disappointed in the final bid but when I saw who had one and the opportunity I was given, in the end it was priceless. Now I have a piece sitting at the command center of one of my favorite games and knowing that the people at Riot can appreciate my work in person is something that I really cant express in words.
And we got swag! ^_^

Teemo & Baron sculpture video
Here’s a little video I made for my League of Legends sculpture/diorama.
Last little reminder that this piece is on auction with less than a day to go ^_^

Teemo & Baron diorama
Just a friendly reminder that this piece is up for auction ^_^
This is a fan art piece inspired by the MMOBA game League of Legends. Teemo already leads a hard life being all small and squishy. Everyone depends on him to ward places mostly by himself. I wonder what goes on in his head when he approaches Baron’s cove to lay a shroom.
Most of it was made using paper mache clay. Teemo and some of the details were made of polymer clay. The water was made using a water simulation liquid I got from a hobby store. I hand brushed the paint using acrylic paints.
Dimensions: 6in tall, 7.5in wide, 7in long (cm=15.24 x 19.05 x 17.78 )

Tiny Teemo vs. Big Baron
Here it is in its entirety. Teemo already leads a hard life being all small and squishy. Everyone depends on him to ward places mostly by himself. I wonder what goes on in his head when he approaches Baron’s cove to lay a shroom.

After many custom games and solo-ing Baron Nashor, this is what I was able to come up with so far. I just need to work on the base and it will be done. Baron stands at about 7in tall.
Made using paper mache pulp and detailed with polymer clay. His saliva was made using hot glue and the paint was hand brushed.
