Irikanji Toys
Австралия
Добавлен 25 апр 2020
Interested in how to make designer toys, artists and different processes? My channel is dedicated to sharing all the knowledge Ive accumulated over the years - it's not the only way to do it, just my way to do it! Here you'll find tutorials, processes (and I unashamedly leave them at full length), our live stream and interviews with you artists!
Over the past two decades, Australian, under my street art alias of Facter, Ive created a world of fantastical creatures inhabiting a far future, post-singularity apocalyptic realm called "The Known". These creatures, known as Irikanji, are the result of years of creating illustrations and sharing them as colourful murals on the walls of cities across the world.
Transforming my street art and illustrations into hand made sculpted beings, the Irikanji are physical manifestations of the many inhabitants that reside within my imagination.

Making a Galactic Tug Boat - Spaceship Kitbashing
I love Space Battleship Yamato so a year or so ago I curated a spaceship exhibition at the store!
This was the first of two pieces created for the exhibition, using a tug boat model as the base! This was lots of fun, and it's a nice short one for me, so I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers toy fiends!

Making Designer Toys - Tools To Use
hello greetings from Brussels Belgium. I am in search of scrach free paint for resin figurine painting. Do ou have any idea what paint to use. Thank you
@@LampionSeraphin hey mate, not really such a thing as scratch free paint, id you don't want it to scratch just do your paint and then spray it with a top coat/clear coat - this will prevent any of your paint being scratched ☺️
@@IrikanjiToys thank you for the answer.
@@LampionSeraphin no worries, if you can get it, Mr Hobby super clear is the bestest!
Muchas gracias por el aporte amigo!!!
It's much more epic, but tbh kind of in the same basic vein?
Cool stuff mate! Looking forward to seeing the next one!
Hey mate thanks heaps, hope theres some interesting stuff for you in the backlog!
Enjoyed this mate, first time chrcking out your channel, looking forward to binging the back catalogue 👊
thanks man appreciate the feedback :)
Digging this project!
great meeting you dude! thank you for the magazines!
Hey mate and you too! Glad you liked the zine !
Can you talk about the boxes? Did you make them or hire someone and how much did it cost per box?
The boxes actually came with the Sank resin blank 🙂
awesome
Thanks you for putting this experiment on the Internet, that was very interesting. I'm not sure I would have cast a full load of resin because I'd have feared the exothermic reaction would have made the mold sweat white spirit and damage the surface of the cast. I was expecting you to make a slush cast or given it's a two part mold brushed the inside of the mold with resin before closing it and gently rocking some resin inside. But it's great to know the technique exists and gives results if you want to alter the prototype and make a new master at a different scale. Loved the video ! Edit : ah yeah expected it totally destroys your silicone mold. But it's about the same when you do the reverse operation and mold with alginate and let the mold shrink when losing water (IIRC it loses 10-15% of its volume). It's a one shot cast for intermediary work on a master.
That's a good call out actually. I should have done a really quick slush mold with the first one, but I was really worried I wouldn't get more than one go at it, and I wanted a solid piece in case I needed to do extra cleanup and such. That first cast was horrible, so much reaction with the mold and the surface was exactly how you said it - second cast tho was great and really clean, for rid of all that surface liquid and turned into a really great master for a larger piece.
Oh I actually did a shrink mold as well, I think I didn't do a proper video for it, but I used the same technique instead I mixed the white spirit into the silicon, them left it for a week to evaporate out, worked really well!
@@IrikanjiToys Thanks for the follow up. Great info :)
That was awesome man!! You both did such a great job at presenting and the content was really well put together 🎉 you need to share this to the TNTS chat! What you waiting for!? Lol 😂 Helen
Cool stuff guys. You did a great job of sharing an inspiring story :)
I loved those pieces! It was such a great show to be involved in too.
Thanks for sharing, this has helped my creative process for the next show :)
Great to hear! Glad you found the video helpful mate
Thank you for this video. I just found you and sub since your video inspired me so much. I totally new to art toy but that what I want to do. I hope your channel helps me a ton to get there
thankyouy, Im glad it was helpful!
I loved this show..really inspired me to want to be involved more. Particularly yours
No gloves?!?? No fan blowing the fumes away from you? And what brand of resin are you using that needs to cure THAT fast? You can't vibrate out bubbles and you ALWAYS want to have a single open back mold ready for gel state to get it into that as run off.
Thanks for the comment! There is always an extractor fan/fan running, or some form of ventilation happening. Obviously gloves are best for safety and I almost always wear them, but doing something quickly it won't kill you. Not sure what you mean about bubbles? It's a rapid set resin, quite common, very useful when you are making large batches of toys so that you can cast them quickly. Not sure what you mean by vibration and bubbles? If you design your mold well enough you don't need vibration or pressure to remove large bubbles ...and why a single open back mold? You can't do complex shapes with a single piece mold and most of the stuff I do is fairly complicated in shape, and having it two pieces you are able to do proper vents (re: above not needing vibration/pressure to remove air etc).
A LOT of fun designs in there. Awesome seeing everyone's inspiration and the final results. I like this better than the Vader Project because the speeder was a toy we all held. The Vader helmet as a canvas seemed limited (for some, not all).
It was so much fun - wait til you see the Battlecat, MLP and Smorfs ones!!
That star wars skiff is super rare. Id love to doa build with some of those sails
They could be Robotix parts
thanks mate, Ill have a look at those two! I tried reverse google image search for them a while back but didnt find them, Ill look for those ones!
This is a great series just finished watching all the videos in it. Had to subscribe, can’t wait to start making some toys of my own! Great work and great details of your process 👍🏼
This is a super helpful video, especially the info on how low you have to demold pieces. Also the info about the molds being more fragile. About how long specifically do you think you have before the molds shrink? (I missed it if you gave an specific number.) Also, what type of silicone are your molds made from?
The 1:4 ratio on silicone:spirits info is also very helpful. Wonder if NOVOCS would be the same way… I’m staggered by how much it wrecked your molds, though. Seeing the damage was eye opening. 😬 Oh, wait, found the bit where you talk about how long you have! An hour or two, hm, not long enough to cast silicone in the silicone, probably, right? If the release agent even works with the spirits/NOVOCS. Did you end up doing any experiments like that? If not, do you have any recommendations for what to use for a new master copy? (I want to make matching squishy silicone baby dolls for my daughter and nieces, basically, but I sculpted the clay version of the doll too small and don’t want to start over…) I appreciate the long video, definitely. So much helpful info! Definitely going to subscribe.
hi sorry for late repoly - you would have to make another resin master and then do another mold for it for the upsized one! As the spirit evaporates then the mold will shrink, unfortunately,. if its a hot day,t his will go quciker, cold day, slower, but yes Ive found I have about an hour to cast another piece
The toy looks cool. My comment would be that it needs a story. Where did the three of them come from? How did they meet? How did they become interchangeable? What is their mission now?
Sweet toys. Just remember liberal policies are destructive! 😊
yay new videos!
Which resin you used in this video man
After I Clean with Dish Soap I run down with Ethier Windex window x Cleaner Or Hand Samtizer And Cotton Wipe off Pads
Have you ever tried a spray "adhesion promoter"its specifically for plastic to be painted with solvent based paint - Dupli - color makes one( I'm not affiliated at all) If your toys are plastic? Some plastics seem to handlle the rustoleum and other type plastics may not. The real problem in knowing what plastic can handle what KIND of spray primer; you may not see one single problem FOR MANY MONTHS- then you may see small air bubbles and this means the primer you put UNDER your paint is NOW loosening and could get much worse! Now you have durability problem, because the primer did not get a REAL strong adherent! Have you seen this problem or know about it???
Silly question: I just got to this video and thought you were sanding a sculpt. Then I noticed what appears to be color resin coming in as you sand. Is it fair to say you're sanding here after your already got your resin figure out of the mold? Or is the Sculpey just a miriad of colors?
hello bro. i have a he man collection, someone gave me a heman again so i have 2 now.. i want to paint the other one with different color but its seems acrylic paint wont work, what type of paint i should use? the heman action figure i have is this retro style toys he man that release somewhere from 2020 up now.. thank u very much.. ❤️
I found this group not long after moving to Melbourne, walking along Plenty Rd and stopping dead in my tracks when I saw the window at the Sensorium and the flyer. I ran home going wow I made the right decision to move. Finally a year later I will take part in my first exhibition. Hasn't been a smooth ride on my end but we have something and it will be there. Great doco, lovely to hear the background story.
Brilliant tutorial, thanks so much!
I liked your videos for the knowledge, not your political views, you just isolated half your audience, that just shows me how close minded your are and I would never do any business with you .
These toys are solid resin? Aren’t they too heavy and too pricey to produce? Or are they hollow?
um an old school wax sculptor. i may have poits od advice.
I think it just needs editing down a bit. Watched on double speed and skipped parts.
I freaking love you, dude 🐻
Thanks for the heads up about surfacer. I'm a novice resin caster and a lot of my castings...aren't the best. So this should help me a lot.
You're welcome! There's another video where I go into how i use the the surfacer as well, check it out 🙂
super mega cool process thank you boy!!!!
Keep uploading!!! Become an online boss = Promo'SM !!
Thanks for the great hints and tips!
great turn out and great artists! keep it up all!
So good Facter. Great to see the evening all compiled together.
Such cool stuff. I couldn't make it, so thank you for sharing the footage.
I love this!! It really is such a brilliant group, I’m super glad to be a part of it!
Another awesome video! Thanks for doing these! You've mentioned possibly doing a video on smoothing 3D prints and I just wanted to voice that I'd be interested in seeing that!
love how much you push the fact that it doesnt have to be perfect! hard to remember sometimes when looking at all the amazing stuff out there! keep up the great work brother!
Yeah man the reason I love designer toys is all those little imperfections and hand made aesthetic! Art doesn't have to be perfect to be awesome ☺️ and cheers mate!
great stuff as always brother, keep it up! 🤙🤙
