I hope you dug this one! More toys to come! Many special thanks to *Martian Toys* , *Mothership Toy Gallery* , and *TotalBoat Makerpoxy* !

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Kat, I simply adore how you show and stress the use of priming your surface! I see consistently where content creators that skip this or ignore it completely! I especially enjoyed your version of Bruce into a toy figure! SO well done! It is easy to see why your have been picked by this company, they simply wanted the best ! Thanks for sharing your adventures in this excellent video format you have outstanding talents and expertise in this field! Again, Well Done!

[@KatLiepinsArt]

I make it a point to show the nitty gritty. As we know, making art isn't always as easy as it appears in videos. And, Brucey is definitely my little muse! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch! 😊

[@PNoelleCruz]

KAT!! This is seriously so cool!!!

[@KatLiepinsArt]

NOELLE!! THANK YOU! I'm so glad you dug this one! It feels like we talked about this a million years ago. This is probably right up Mark's alley too! See you guys soon! xoxox

[@PNoelleCruz]

@@KatLiepinsArt so long ago!! Love that I got to hear about it way back then and then see it come to life! Can’t wait to see you! 😘💜

This is so killer!!! Incredible work!

YAY! I'm so glad you guys like it! THANK YOU!!!

When the epoxy was dripping off the dogs face it was like perfect drool! Excellent job 🖤

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Haha! You’re right! Great comment! Thank you! 😄

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

I came for the clips of Bruce, stayed for the awesome video and art! Love these Kat!

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Bruce brings all the boys to the yard. 😂 Thanks for staying for the art, Ethan! 😁😁😁

[@SujMenon]

Great job Kat. That epoxy coat gave the toys an extra 'pop'. It sure looked difficult to do (not to mention the patience required to do it properly) 👍 😀

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Thanks so much, Suj! I was definitely sweating a bit during the pour. I really wanted to get it right! 😊

That is amazing Kat.. love the color

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Ohhhh! I’m so glad!!! You know I love keeping it bright! Thank you!!! 😊

[@haroldboone7442]

Very nice bright color scheme and a extra kid protection with the epoxy coating.

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Thanks so much, Harold! They’re adult proof too! 😄😄😄👍

[@TimStotz1]

I loved the zoom in of you painting the detail.

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Gracias, sir! That’s a huge compliment coming from a video expert such as yourself! 😁😁😁

[@johnnyace1300]

such skill...

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Awwww! Thank you so very much, Johnny! 😊😊😊

[@DJGutoLoureiro]

Real artist !

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Yay!!! Thank you so much! 😊😊😊

[@Edgar417994]

I never thought of using epoxy for the final coat! That’s genius! You can probably ding them up without having to worry about the pain chipping.

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Thanks so much! Yes! Protection is another bonus on top of just looking super shiny. ✨

[@saintjuvinile]

but can you move the arm articulation after the epoxy coating?

[@furthernorthfab]

Bruce! Great work, Kat.

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Thanks for watching, man! I told Erin that we’re moving to Canada. Bruce and I will be great neighbors! 😆👍

[@roughlyEnforcing]

these looks so cool, id love to see them IRL -- nice work as always

Let’s make that happen! Thanks so much, Jeffrey! 😁✌️

Just awesome Kat! Love watching your stuff and your style of videos/edit always make me chuckle...and a Bruce appearance is never a bad thing ;)

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you enjoy my stuff and don’t hate seeing Bruce’s little mug. Have a fantastic weekend!!! 😊

[@marsirgaming]

It's no one's business but I have noticed that it seems you and modmaker aren't together anymore. If that's the case I wish you all the best. Your art is truly amazing. Got a sub from me.

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Hi Marsir! Thank you so much for the sub and joining me here on my channel! You are so kind!!! 😊✌️

[@TerryMurray1]

So skeptical when you started with the neon colors, but sooo sold with the final product, they look amazing. Really loved the color transitions on the hair, and the fine detail on the tentacles.

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Ahhh! I'm so glad I sold you on the color palette! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch, Terry! 😃

@@TerryMurray1 That’s so awesome to hear! So glad to have you here! Thank you, Terry! Have a great weekend! 😄✌️

[@robertmartinez2072]

Love this video, not too much on how to epoxy toys….how do u avoid the drip, do u just brush it???

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Hi Robert - that’s exactly it. You just need to brush the drips and keep a silicone mat or something similar under the piece to keep your work surface clean and to keep the toy from sticking to the surface. Hope that helps! 😊

[@JeffPaints]

I still want to try this!! Great video Kat, obviously I prefer the dog 🥰 (shameless plug I just painted a miniature boston!) Both turned out awesome!!!

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Hey, Jeff! I prefer Bruce too! 😉 I bet your little Boston painting turned out great! Hope you are well! Thanks so much for watching!

[@JeffPaints]

​@@KatLiepinsArt Well you are a little biased haha but with that sweet face who wouldnt be! Havent forgotten I'm supposed to be painting him, hopefully will be able to do it in a couple of months. I'm great thank you .....Video is on my channel if you want to check it out 🤩

[@KatLiepinsArt]

I just watched! What a sweet puppy face! You have epic patience...did you get a world record?

[@JeffPaints]

Kat Liepins Art your a ⭐️ thank you for watching. Unfortunately it costs £600 to enter a world record plus you have to have an independent adjudicator to watch you as you do it. So not this time. It was fun to dream tho 😇😇

[@KatLiepinsArt]

@@JeffPaints Well, I'm cheering for you whenever you decide to go for it! 🙌

[@zuescantdie]

why didn't we see the toys in black light ?? so we can appreciate the florescent colors

[@KatLiepinsArt]

Fair question! I should try and see what that looks like and post the findings on IG! Great idea!

[@zuescantdie]
