Description
This will be my third Meat Boy sculpture.The first one I did was based off the promotional art for Super Meat Boy and was more of a tough looking take on the character.

The second one I did was part of a set that I made for the creator of Meat Boy, Edmund McMillen. They were also based off the same piece of promotional art but Meat Boy ended up looking slightly more friendly than the first sculpture.

I decided to make a third Meat Boy for a few reasons. First was that I had some left over red Sculpey that I needed to get rid of. The second reason is that Super Meat Boy will finally release on October 20th which is next Wednesday and I wanted to do something to celebrate that fact.
This Meat Boy was more based on the cut scenes in the game. It's the cute Meat Boy that you want to hug but don't due to the fact that he is meat and will ruin your clothes if you did.
Congrats on finishing Super Meat Boy for the Xbox 360 Team Meat!

Do you mind if I do a sculpture similar to this? I will give you credit

Thanks, It's baking now. Made it out of super sculpey, used glass for the eyes. Anyway, I'll post a message once it's finished so you can take a look!

I considered doing that but after failing to find any glass eyes at my local Hobby Lobby in the size I wanted I decided to instead paint the entire sculpt red then tape off the body around the eyes and mouth. I then painted the eyes and mouth black and gloss coated them leaving the body with a matte finish from the paint.

Well, it's finished baking, and I think it's come out pretty awesome. Gonna paint it and post pictures in about an hour.

Looks good! One thing though, you said you were going to credit me for the idea and I don't see any mention of me on the deviation or your journal. I'm not mad that credit hasn't been given yet, just reminding you about it.

Oh don't worry, I fully intend to make Bandage Girl. I still have ten characters to possibly sculpt including Bandage Girl. That list will grow though as more of the exclusive characters for the PC and WiiWare versions are announced.
If you really want the sculptures then you may be happy to know that Edmund McMillen, half of the team that made Super Meat Boy, has given me permission to make duplicates and sell them once I finish, even for a profit if I want. He just gave me two guidelines to follow.
First, I can't claim they're official figures. No problem there since I never claim to own the rights to the characters I make fan art of. Secondly he wants me to make two sets of the figures, one for himself and one for the other half of Team Meat, Tommy Refenes. That's also not a problem since I always intended to send them each a set once I got better at molding and casting. So if you're really interested in owning a set or even individual figures you may want to keep an eye on my journals for updates.

Wow! That's really cool! From what I've seen, Team Meat is pretty down-to-earth. That's great news!

That they are. Indie developers in general I think are more open to projects like this than the larger developers.

Right now, yes. That's only because the game isn't finished for the other platforms it's going to be on though. It's expected to be available on Steam for PC and Mac in about a month and for WiiWare sometime after that. It won't ever be on PSN because Sony showed no interest in the game when Team Meat contacted them.
