A New Evil Arises

The development of Legends of Futuria is very much a work-in-progress. As I mentioned in an earlier post, sometimes a concept works in execution but other times an idea may simply refuse to translate into reality.

I've already given our hero Valorus a new direction (which I'll be revealing very soon) but after weeks of false-starts and abandoned attempts, I've taken the decision to do the same with the line's Big Bad, Lord Shadow.

Tion Sneak Peek

Here's a quick look at our latest creation, the Heroic Warrior Tion. You can learn more about him in the Characters section but we'll be adding some new photos very soon (and yes, that is a fur mane...)

The New Adventures of Valorus

The most important of my discoveries have been suggested to me by my failures.

The process behind the creation of each figure in the Legends of Futuria line has been one of experimentation. Sometimes an idea can be realized exactly in the way imagined, other times a fortuitous blunder can in fact create something even more special than envisaged.

And sometimes, no matter the effort, an idea may simply not work.

Which is why, after weeks of sculpting, paint application, scratch-building and head-scratching, I've scrapped the original Valorus concept.

Behind-The-Scenes: Valorus

Our next reveal will be the heroic knight Valorus, brave freedom-fighter and leader of the Futurian rebellion.
