Neapolitan Negora

Last week, we blogged about being invited to the Konyatsu Dai Kaiju show at Q Pop. We had a chance to look at the preview photos and it looks amazing. The problem with participating in shows like these is you spend more money than you make! This is the toy we created for it:

It's a candy cat!

It’s Neapolitan Negora, the candy cat! We knew the sprinkles on the back would really bring this piece together so we bought some polymer sprinkles (no time to make them) and sealed them on using Mod Podge. The Mod Podge gave the brown a shiny, melted chocolate look that became a happy accident.

Konatsu at Qpop

We’re big fans of Konatsu’s Negora toys. They’re super cute kaiju cats! We own both a Negora and micro Negora, shown here. Our dreams came true when our friends at Q Pop told us they are hosting a US show for Konatsu and they invited Magen to paint one of the Negoras!

Konatsu’s toys are based on a series of paintings she made about monster animals enjoying some outdoor recreation. See more of her work here.

Q Pop Presents: Magical Girl Heroines

Q Pop Shop curated a group art exhibit to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Sailor Moon last weekend, “Magical Girl Heroines: Sailor Moon & Sailor Senshi”. We were lucky enough to get Magen’s Sailor Nemesis painting included in the show.

Lots of people turned out in costume and there was a line running out the door. The show received lots of great coverage. We’re thrilled that Vinyl Pulse even covered the event! Magen’s painting was in great company, though. In particular, we like the pieces from Priscilla Wong, Madoka Kinoshita, and J.R. Goldberg.

Sailor Nemesis

Magen’s three favorite subjects to paint are demons, cute animals, and curvy gals with attitude.

The planet Nemesis is rumored to have its own guardian sailor scout. When Chibiusa became Black Lady, she was given the power of a dark sailor scout so it’s possible that Black Lady was also Sailor Nemesis. Sailor Moon canon aside, look how stinkin’ cute she is! She’s rough and tough and full of piss and vinegar!

We submitted the original painting to Q Pop for their Magical Girl Heroine: Sailor Moon and Sailor Senshi show, but if you’re interested in bringing this fun little lady home, follow this link to our web store.
