andrew bell @ the vader project

TOYSREVIL: what was the genesis/inspiration for Darthodontics? what was the theme? and how was your process like, making this custom?ANDREW BELL: Darth Vader is usually all hard, glossy, black, cold and terrifying.. I wanted to change that to be more organic, a little gross, and still somewhat terrifying for entirely different reasons. Bring a little of what's inside that helmet to the outside.

MAD @ the vader project

TOYSREVIL: what was the genesis/inspiration for the custom? why wood veneer for the helmet?MAD: I wanted to step outside my usual media of just paint. I had been working with a good friend of mine who has an amazing wood shop on some projects. We started talking about the Vader project and he mentioned some very thin veneer he had in his shop... A light clicked on in my head and he helped walk
