A Sit Down with Boy In The Corner

So it's no secret in the designer toy world that there's an art battle going on between Boy In The Corner and The 3D Hero. We here at Tenacious.Ninja took the time to sit down with these two artistic brutes and find out what's driving them through this competition.

Quick Review:
 Just in case you missed it, there's been some banter between these two artists via Instagram. It began with small, sly comments on each other's posts but on January 31st it appears that The 3D Hero decided to see who's the better artist once and for all and officially called out Boy In The Corner.
Needless to say as dramatic as The 3D Hero is, he created a video with all the specs that you can see here.

Now for the good stuff!
Heath Duntz aka Boy In The Corner was gracious enough to take a few minutes off the battlefield to answer a few quick questions for us. Let's see what he has to say:

Pryncx Mydnyte: Thanks for agreeing to meet with me Boy In The Corner. I know things are pretty crazy right now with you preparing your piece.

Boy In The Corner: Sure thing! This is my first interview so I'm rather excited.


PM: Is this your first battle?

BTC: I guess? lol. I've done many shows but I've never been challenged personally. Honestly, I've been doing this for a long time and this is the first time I've seen something like this.

PM: In that sense, do you feel like you guys are making history?

BTC: In a way. I see this as a way to keep stepping up the toy game. This is also a way for us as artists to learn all types of new techniques.


PM: So why an art battle?

BTC: It's a good platform to showcase what exactly each artist is capable of. A lot of us are invited to be in various shows and we're limited by that show's theme. This way we can do what we want, when we want and how we want.

PM: Can you tell us ,without saying, what we can expect from your piece?
BTC: The platform that we're using for this competition is the TEQ63 by Quiccs (3D's choice). He chose the theme of Earth. I chose water. Just know that there will be high quality marble and glass.

PM: What's the overall goal of this battle? Charity? Dominance? Bragging Rights?
BTC: It's all in fun :) ... Well for me it is.

PM: When is the big debut?
BTC:  You can expect to see teasers for the rest of the month. The official unveiling date is TBA but it will for certain be some time in March. Stay tuned for that.

PM: Do you have any words for The 3D Hero?
BTC:  I'm always up for a good challenge! I couldn't be happier to have you as an opponent!

Thanks again to Boy In The Corner for doing this interview with us! Be sure to follow all the battle banter on  Tenacious.Ninja , Boy In The Corner's Instagram Page and The 3D Hero's Instagram page.

The 3D Hero Births A Hero

"As the last of my kind, I knew what needed to be done. I had to seek justice for my fellow Bot brethren that have fallen victim to the Nameless. Our forefathers that once signified peace and unity have now become the source of our demise. As my eyes fall for the last time, I grasp my enemy's skull. Behind it I notice a series of characters that seem to say GNX...S.  It is with my dying breath that I recite this ode: 'I was created to ensure safety. I was created to construct. I was created to provide the citizens of this fair city a utopia in which all their desires would be fulfilled.'  

 -I am Genesis."

The 3D Hero is back at it again! This time he's giving you something so big that it could only be making its debut at New York Comic Con this week! Hero has been invited to participate in Martian Toys' "Not Another Skull Show" which features the Break skull created by Bowo Baghaskara as a blank.

As the story goes, Genesis is the last remaining of  fleet of Caution Bots called GNX-2.  These Bots are responsible for creation of all the land in 3D Hero City. They come as an advancement from the original robots of the city which have long been outcast due to their lack of technology and willingness to adapt. The gained the term Nameless, as they became so obsolete that no one could remember who they were. The Nameless decided that it was time to stop the progression of 3D Hero City and destroy the entire fleet of GNX-2...except for one.

What they didn't plan on happening was that one of these would become aware as to what was happening and then choose to fight back. The battle was long, the fight was hard but in the end it was the last standing GNX-2 prevailed. He assumed his name was Genesis because to him the '2' favored the letter 'S'.

The 3D Hero releases Cobalt Battle Bunny and Scarlet Scrapper

  

 With names like Cobalt Battle Bunny and Scarlet Scrapper who could possibly be intimidated by such harmless sounding creatures? Well this dynamic duo is far from being descendants of Peter Cottontail or even the Easter Bunny. These 3- inch rodents are here to wreak havoc in the streets of 3D Hero City!

The 3D Hero himself (Tavvon Reynolds) has gone completely insane with his new fascination with terror and villainy, combining it with his first loves of all things cute & all things mech. Sticking to his very industrialized and dystopian style Hero sculpted these critters atop of  2 Dunny cyborg bases. Word has it that these are the first in a new series that the Hero is creating; each one to be more mind-blowing than its predecessor. If  the Battle Bunnies are just the tip of the iceberg, may the gods have mercy on the citizens of 3D Hero City.

Cobalt Battle Bunny and Scarlet Scrapper are both available for purchase here. For the latest updates follow The 3D Hero on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
