boomer

this cute little flesch-craver is boomer: zombie owl.  i was comissioned to make a zombie owl, and we had talked about giving the owl the character of a "boxer."  sadly after working on it, i made the decision that the boxer addition would likely take away from the piece as a whole. it wouldn't have necessarily made the piece "bad", i just felt the zombie owl holds itself well on its own. what's meant to be will be and he is meant to be solely a zombie owl. and an amazingly awesome zombie owl he is.

 

boomer is all munnyworld parts: boomer's head is a kidrobot's trikky head with the ears cut off, with the body of a rooz. if this just sounds like nonsense, go check out kidrobot.com and see all the do-it-yourself blank vinyl figures. they will change your life. but only if you're talented and motivated. ok, i guess you don't technically have to be talented.

 i felt a little guilty that i failed to turn boomer into a boxer in 3-D form, so i did a quick sketch of boomer as a boxer to (try to) make up for it. not my strongest character design, but a little more work will make him the best zombie owl boxer of all time!

i hope boomer enjoys his new home !
