Working for a games company usually means, well, I work with video games. But occasionally we get to try our hand at something new. Last week I was promoting some vinyl art toys called ‘DIY Eeerz’. These toys are modeled on the crazy characters, the Rabbids, and are designed to be customised. To promote the launch we paired up with Forbidden Planet in London and a bunch of amazing artists to showcase some truly fantastic customs.
Since painting and drawing is a hobby of mine, I was especially interested to take part in the drawing workshops with the artists and take a look at how they have changed their Eeerz into something of their own. I’ve got my own Eeerz model sat on my desk, but I plan to do a time-lapse video the painting process in the next few weeks.
Photos from the event are below, many I took for work – hence the logos, but there are a few extras thrown in! You can use the image browser to see the full photoset and scroll down to see my favourites and my comments.
Two customs finished during the event
*spoilers* my favourite are the Bucky O’Fake-Hare, the MANIAC Eeerz and Felt Mistress’ tribal mask *spoilers*

Yes. That is my Skyrim character. DON’T JUDGE ME!

We found the very talented Gagaman doodling up some Rabbids.
Oh and I totally nabbed some of Gagaman’s doodles for my desk at work.
