Creating Designer Toys - Mastering sculpt methods for molding

- Hi everyone - I'm Facter (@facter on IG) and this is my third tutorial on how I create my own designer toys for Irikanji Toys.
In this episode I talk about the methods I use for making the master sculpts for my toys, covering everything from sculpey, apoxysculpt, kitbashing and 3d printing ...and a whole bunch of combinations of the above !
To be very clear - I am NOT a master of toy making! The title of this video means that this is how you create the master piece that is used for molding and casting! :D
So the audio may be out a little in this video, sorry ... I didn't want to record it for a fourth time (ugh) - I've since changed software so hopefully in future this stuff won't happen as much!
* * *
I've been doing graffiti and street art for 25 years, and have been making my own toys for about 4 years now, in Melbourne, Australia. It's been an amazing journey so far - still have so much to learn, but id like to share what I already know, and learn from everyone else - so please leave comments or suggestions, and constructive criticisms!
Disclaimer - please bear with me in this ongoing series, I'm really new to this and the first few videos won't be great - just saying yo - but I'm adjusting them as I go along and I hope in the near future I'll have everything fixed and running smoothly. So until I start to nail this, expect shitty or choppy video, accidentally working on things out of frame, poor lighting, voice overs because I forgot to turn on mics and constantly changing and bad camera angles! I do hope the sometimes rough beginnings dont dissuade you from subscribing, I have so much more stuff I'm gunna share!

What a fantastic video! I’m veeeeeery new to sculpting, but this video has encouraged me to venture more into it! Woooo! I’m exciting to be learning in a new medium. Thank you!
I've actually been sculpting a character in ZBrush & then plan to do some engineering in adding articulated joints. 3D Printing is definitely the way to go and if you ever needed assisted on a project, feel free to let me know! 🙂 Also recommend a Resin 3D Printer for for a smooth, detailed finish.
This is just what I needed before I start work on my 3rd figure. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration. 😎👍
Brilliant video! I loved the multi angle approach! very inspiring dude. 3D Printing bases sounds cool! This channel is coming together awesomely! I love that idea of making a transformer! That is definitely a destination for you. Maybe buy two plastic snap together model kits of a car and dissect one of them and see what limbs and shit you can make out of it.
No right way and no rules.. Exactly!! As long as its fun. Inspiring. Great video brother! You did good. Hope to see you at Designer Con or Monsterpalooza in LA some day..
What a great introduction - I'm brand new to this
I’ve been sculpting little things here and there and I’ve finally convinced myself to start doing more thanks to your video! I’m hoping to cast them in vinyl or resin eventually to share with friends 💖
That's great! Please show me when you habe some stuff to show!
Thanks for this series. I woken up today and decided to take the plunge and make my toy I've been working on for a while now. Are you going to do a video on how you go about actually getting your toy produced on a larger scale or tips on where to sell your toys?
Also is that a hospital records hat ☠️👍
Thanks mate! I haven't done large scale stuff but it is currently in the works..when I coz I'll be sure to do a video on it. Actually a video on how to sell stuff might be a good idea too! I'll put it on the list.
That is most definitely a hospital record cap - not one toy had been made that hasn't been made while listening to something off Hospital 😂 well spotted hahaha
Great stuff. I'd really like to hear your about your process for painting (especially in bulk) and i was wondering if you have ever worked with soft vinyl? Also if you have any tips on the design process, that would be great.
Thanks! Painting, definitely - I'll be doing a tutorial on my process in a few vids time. Alas, I've never worked with soft vinyl ...it had been my aim to do my first sofubi this year for Taipei Toy festival, but it doesn't look like I'll make it there is due to covid.. it's still an aim to do it, and I have a piece I'm working in now that's specifically for sofubi .. so I'll document the process as I do it. For design process, I'll have my next video up soon I hope, that'll cover one way I design
Wowww . Great video. Please do more videos!
Thank you for this video. I just found you and sub since your video inspired me so much. I totally new to art toy but that what I want to do. I hope your channel helps me a ton to get there
thankyouy, Im glad it was helpful!
Really great video, you earned a sub. Also any update on how the 3D print smoothing went? The Mr. Dissolve (?) And primer
um an old school wax sculptor. i may have poits od advice.
Subbed, suuuup boooooi
Great video keep up the good work! Love to see this kind of shit
I am the guy that makes holograms🙋♂️. Was actually watching your video because I want to start making designer toys with my art, I sculpt I make holograms. I Understand toy making and the steps but I’m making sure I know all the tips and tricks I can before jumping in. 🙌. Got really excited when you pulled out surfboard robot🏄♀️ 🐢 🤖. Email me I can help you out. 🤘🏻
I like it very much but... Why do people call a Plastic sculpture a Toy?
U great!
Make sanding great again
Also pretty confident I could help you with a transformer. Down to chat about it.
professional toy makers use oil based clay to make the model to shape the basic form/structure, make a mold with plaster and then cast it with wax which lets you add intricate details without ruining the shape while working on it. 3D print is too costly and time consuming for what you are doing. You are still learning, these are nowhere near master methods
Hey thanks for the input and comments but unfortunately youve read the title completely wrong (not sure if you watched the video properly as it's explained These are common methods for *making* a toy sculpture *master* - not methods at a master level. I'm absolutely not a master and pretty much say this in every video I produce 😂 These are just what I use, and they're as valid as any other method. A a professional level, many of these methods are also used anyways - the scenario you describe is only one of many many ways professional and large scale industrial production is done. Cheers for the feedback, hope you enjoyed the video anyways 🙂
