Galaxy Rosco Bears

A special edition of 7 Rosco Bears painted by Mark Nagata in a Galaxy style ! Rosco is the character and toy by http://www.fantastisch.mx , artists Bela Alvarez and Oscar Juarez. I decided to approach this custom run by leaving the serene face of Rosco, but pairing it with a Space galaxy setting.ย  Using Monster Kolor paints, each piece is hand painted and while similar, each is unique.

Only one left, so good luck !

My work is airbrushed and hand painted acrylics on illustration board. About 11×14 inches. Original art for sale only, sorry no prints ๐Ÿ˜‰ My concept was simple, showing Astro Boy three ways, Mecha guts, Normal outward appearance and a spacey Galaxy lookย  ๐Ÿ˜‰ Anyways, always glad to flex my art side of my brain from time to time… and it’s not a Cat ! ;-P

you can transform Tripus by gently heating the head, popping off the eye and turning head over, plugging it back into the body and replacing eye into the open hole. Really cool way to make him look different !trisculpt72

Above is the test shot in vinyl (left side) and the original sculpt by Pico Pico (right side)

And the new header card painting for the package by Mark Nagata ๐Ÿ˜‰
