Shlap Rolls Out Artist Sticker Sets for Use in iOS 10 iMessage - Shawnimals, Lunartik, Triclops Studio & More

Milk Bar Studios is proud to present Shlap, an iOS 10 App that lets the user share exclusively designed sticker packs with their friends using iMessage.

Shlap has been produced to coincide with the release of iOS 10 and in particular the new iMessage stickers feature. We have teamed up with artists such as Matt Jones aka Lunartik, Shawn ‘Shawnimal’ Smith, Phil Corbett and Miss Wah to produce exclusive sticker packs.

Released worldwide Tuesday September 13^th 2016 - available NOW!

Shlap contains exclusive sticker packs from artists all over the world and presents them in one convenient place. The user can browse Popular, New and Free sticker packs before using an in-app purchase to download their favourites to their device. The sticker packs then appear in the iMessage stickers’ extension ready to use in iMessage conversations with their friends. Shlap has been localised into fourteen languages including French, Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese and Korean. New artists are constantly signing up meaning new content is added frequently.

Shlap is free to download from the Apple AppStore, with each artist sticker pack costing £0.79 (UK) & $0.99 (US) as an in-app purchase. (There are some free sticker sets you can use, like the one I downloaded and used below to bother Rob Lumino...)

More information about Shlap can be found on their website – www.Shlap.me  and you can download Shlap from the AppStore – http://bit.ly/Shlap

Free 3D Model from Shinbone Creative

3D maestro Scott Wetterschneider (one of the folks behind Shinbone Creative) was kind enough to give a great peek behind the curtain of how his process works by giving away a 3D model! This was done as a lesson but wouldn't look out of place on the shelf.  Grab it here in .obj and .ztl (if you don't have ZBrush, you should be able to use Sculptris or Blender - both free - to open the file).

Everyone with a genuine interest in making production quality toys should at least be conversant in some form of 3D modeling.  This isn't a "gloom and doom" prediction for traditional sculptors, it is a tool just like anything else.  I hope you will take my advice - stop worrying and love the bomb!

More on Shinbone Creative's process on Facebook and Twitter.

Techno Kitten Adventure: the figure!

You might recognize the completely insane Techno Kitten Adventure (an iPhone app that's a $0.99 purchase from the iTunes store, and also available for the XBOX), created by Elite Gudz out on Long Island... but did you know that one of the games creators, Den Ramos, also casted the titular character into a figure in the Elite Gudz toy lab? Check the video. Den's a wizard. Soundtrack makes me want to break out the glowsticks and UFO pants again...
