Custom Artmymind Storm Trooper Helmets by Jon-Paul Kaiser

by
Jon-Paul Kaiser is awesome at putting his own take on pretty much any platform out there, including original sculpts he creates. Jon-Paul's latest completed commission goes perfect alongside the latest Star Wars trailer for Episode VII. Now, the commission has nothing to do with the latest trailer, but the completed pieces are a pair of custom Artmymind Stormtrooper/Samurai helmets. Each helmet is unique, with both having separate details and images. At a size of 3"x3"x2", these helmets are a nice size to work on. Jon-Paul left the original sculpt in tact, wanting to create a literal decorated helmet, adding the JPK-style to the helmets. While the front shows the JPK style of clean and simple accents, the backs of the helmets reveal a bit more, where Jon-Paul created a separate scenery image on the backs of each helmet. These pieces should make the lucky collector very happy. As with all of Jon-Paul's customs and work, the wonderful photos were taken by Justin Allfree.

AX2 - INU AND SARU - YOJIMBO

by
Following on from the great success of the Boom! Series 2 Rei release comes, Yojimbo

I don't have the full back story of this release, but below is taken from AX2....

I shall killeth those who dareth toucheth mineth mast'r!
by Shusuke/ Yojimbo from the tribe of Saru

Yojimbo is my job. The members of Inu teased me, saying what I do is reminiscent of a watchdog that guards the entrance of Saru, but I pay them no heed. My life belongs to my mast'r. A grateful dog is no doubt far nobler than those crude, thankless goshi.

Additional Info:
YOJIMBO means bodyguards, the job is usually taken by the more destitute rank of Samurai, such as the Ronin. Yet the attire of a Saru sergeant ought to be glamorous, so even a mere bodyguard's garments would appear more extravagant than that of usual corporals. The Saru people do not tolerate any dishevelment in clothing- a set of elegant, organized attire represents the frontage of the entire Saru clan.

GOSHI means the lowest rank of samurai
