Day in the Life of a Japanese Anime Figure Sculptor
Рет қаралды 4,950,386
2 жыл бұрынA Day in the Life of a Japanese Manga and Anime Figure Sculptor at Good Smile Company located in Akihabara Tokyo. This is a typical Japanese working day at the office at one of the top figure production companies in Japan. Creating all sorts of popular figures like Jujutsu Kaisen, and even Kimetsu no Yaiba! We follow Sho from morning until evening to see what a complete day would be like working at a Japanese figure making company. Sho works in Japan as a Genkeishi, also known as a Figure Sculptor. Sho sculpts his anime figure prototypes by hand using Nendo, in English putty or clay, in his case, a polyester putty. And for his main tools, uses a toothpick to add putty and a sharp q tip to smooth out the surface. Today, he is working on a Nedoroido ( Nendoroid ) style figure. We also meet and talk to some of the other office workers in the Japanese company and give a full office tour. This is life in Tokyo for a Japanese anime and manga figure sculptor.

There is absolutely no reason. Once you have an original sculpt, you can make high quality mould and do resin follow up. Painting is tricky, but the amount of paint used is abysmally small. If they made custom figurine from premium materials like polystone, marble and stone, and applied hand brushing each time - that would warrant the price but would also provide for serial differences due to nature of handcrafted items - they will have small kinks and varieties. Mould allows you to remake the shape fast with low production costs. And utilizing partitioning machines can apply color precisely. But now they cost tons because its simply a niche hobby and they want to milk us for our love of franchises. Fact

i actually eat like him because light meal and snacks are preferable to get a job done with more focus during the day. ice cream is great since it still contains sugar for carbos and are relieving esp. in hot season. eating full meal during morning and lunch just makes me sleepy and making the brain kinda soggy, makes me afraid i wont get any details on my work right being in such state. so yeah i relate to him alot.
