Artist Alley 2024 Portfolio

Intro

Hi, I’m Katie, the Founder of 2Scale Studio and I make story-driven collectibles! I started the studio in 2023 taking my personal savings and pouring it into this studio alongside heaps of passion. October 2023 we launched our first original comic series through Kickstarter which after successfully being funded, has given me continued conviction in following this dream. In the current catalog, you will find our first original collectible statue “Rhylee”, the first issue of the Construkt comic book, themed apparel with my own original designs, and other art pieces like prints and stickers by me and collaborating artists. This will be my first year ever attending conventions as an artist alley vendor, and I hope that it allows us to build an audience, sell more product, and promote our next Kickstarter launching Issue #2 this summer.

Aside from doing all of the studio management (business operations, outreach, content, marketing, etc.), I either directly create or heavily contribute to all of the products that the studio has currently. I have 10 years of experience in product development, and have trained and studied in studio art with a focus in statues which is where I hope to continue focusing most of my energy as we grow. For now, I wear many creator hats for the studio including writer, letterer, colorist, storyboard artist, production manufacturing, statue painter, sketch/concept artist, and more which you will see directly reflected in each item below.

Note that all work we sell is our original IP and items we own full licensing/rights for :)

Custom apparel items are all embroidered or custom dye sublimated by myself in my studio, with all of the artwork originating from the studio as well.

Comics are the heart behind all of our products. Our first original series is called Construkt, which currently has 1 issue. This is the Cover A version of the first issue. Written, storyboarded, and lettered by Katie - art by Uberlan Jr.

This is the Cover B version of the first issue. *There is also a "cheeky" version with slightly more nudity that will be available for conventions that allow partial nudity, I also cover this regardless using a sticky note.

This is our most prized item, the first ever original statue we have produced, "Rhylee Amateur" statue. This statue is 1/6 scale, with concept direction from myself, 3D posed artwork by Trevor Kyler, and 3D modeled by Guilherme Santos. I handle all physical production and painting for each statue in the studio, each item is hand-crafted and the statue is limited to only 30 copies (15 of black colorway, 10 of classic colorway, and 5 of the XAlleyce super rare colorway).

These three prints are our "locker room" series, picturing 3 original characters from the Construkt comic as if they were changing in the locker room before a match. These concepts were pulled from our mini-comic (Kickstarter only item) that I wrote,

These three prints are our "locker room" series, picturing 3 original characters from the Construkt comic as if they were changing in the locker room before a match. These concepts were pulled from our mini-comic (Kickstarter only item) that I wrote, and made into new finished pieces by @lesbeanlatte in her own style. *Some small areas are exposed on two of them and will be properly covered for display or put into portfolio books to keep booth SFW.

I sculpt and make some keychains, this is an example of a design I have for Nato that will be available for Summer/Fall cons potentially with 1 other keychain design too!

This is a render of our 2024 setup.

Modifications:

  • Setup is similar for 8ft tables, easy for us to re-arrange things or bring our 3rd statue colorway to have a full statue display! I have additional table cloths of the same color for larger displays.

  • Note this is only our first con shown here, more items will be ready for cons in summer/fall months and the display will have a few more things in it and I will be using a different mockup I have that allows for display of more prints and stickers. For cons after June, we will have our 2nd Issue Kickstarted and there will be more books available.

  • For partially nude prints, we use covers to keep them out of view or can put them into a portfolio book. We can remove from display with proper notice.
