  • After three long years, we're back at Monsterpalooza in Pasadena to meet sculptors, make-up artists, and effects artists whose work we adore. Chris Hamburger--aka Burgerstrings--is a traditional clay sculptor who makes incredible robot masks and helmets and paints them to perfection. We chat with Chris about his process and tips for painting his character castings to look like industrial machines.

    Damn, those helmets look wonderful! I can see Adam geeking over those himself. lol
    I really love how there is such an interesting blend of influences that you can make out. The industrial-styled matte domed helmets remind me of the helmets from an anime called Bubblegum Crisis while the eyes of the helmets have that steampunk-like feel to them. The mouth piece on the other helmets brings to mind the Predator helmets from Predator 2 and onward. The Guyver suits from the Guyver 2: Dark Hero movie are some of my favorite organic power armor designs, both the human and monster versions, and these helmets just invoke those images in my mind.

    • @piorism

      @@xalener Hi there Greg ! Well, I also meant to say that on top of being a good adaptation of the original comic material, the interactions between the two main characters in Dredd reminded me a lot of Brie and Deunan. Even the story around the slomo drug checks out as something that could happen in the Appleseed universe (in the form of a software/virus for instance). Of course I know that I sound like I am stretching things here but that's how I felt watching it.
      I am also probably in the minority in not disliking the live action GiTS too much, as to me it doesn't negates the brillance of the original manga, movie and series and brings in some good ideas. But I do understand the frustration as the characters do feel quite different of course.
