DC Minimates Wave 5: Guy Gardner

Over the course of 2005-2008, I assisted Art Asylum, designing production control art for various projects, most notably their Minimates line. This involved turnaround views for every part of the figure that was to be included in the final product, along with any surface artwork that needed to be applied.

Guy Gardner was an unexpected choice for Wave 5. For some reason, I was expecting to work on Kyle Rayner instead. As with most of the previous waves, designer Uriel contributed the artwork for the face, while I designed everything else associated with the figure. I enjoyed designing the vest in particular, though the final sculpted piece created the appearance he’d put on a bit too much weight. Ah well…

DC Wave5: Guy Gardner Minimate Design (Control Art Only) - by Matt 'Iron-Cow' Cauley

While the photos shown here on the site represent the finished figure, it should be noted that I contributed the control art only. As with all of the Minimate projects, there were many talented people involved: production managers, sculptors, other designers… This figure was very much a team effort, and the finished product reflects the contributions of many individuals.
