Imbrian Arts has recently recruited Sebastian Archer of Guild of Harmony, one of the most recognized talents in this hobby, to sculpt models for a new range of characters. To date Sebastian has sculpted a demonic eye and the first of four planned ghouls for Imbrian’s Damned faction.
You can follow the development of this range on the Imbrian Arts website, or the various forums they frequent, including WargamesAU, Frothers, OzPainters, and DragonPainting (to name a few).

I discovered lots of great sculpts this week. Some of them were actually completed more than a week ago, but these are the ones that made the greatest impression on me this week.
First up is two sculpts by Stephane Simon: La rose du mal (has someone been reading Baudelaire?) & Ulric le Profanateur (that’s Ulric the Profane for you Anglophones out there). Some of you might recognize the talent on display here, the same that gave us the Molochs, Souffre Toile, and Ophidian apostates (among others). According to Stephane’s blog these sculpts were purchased by Maelstrom Games for their Bane Legions range.

Next up is a collection of great Berserkers sculpted by the very talented Kevin Adams for Otherworld Miniatures. These models feature a great classic look that will appeal to fans of Otherworld‘s range of fantastic miniatures, as well as anyone looking for a generic model to represent a screaming-mad barbarian warrior.

And last but not least, some great sculpts from the hands of the ever-talented Tre Manor: Fat Fergus and Hog Squasher Troll. Wow, Tre–Wow! You’ve really outdone yourself.

I’m going to try something new here, to encourage me to make more regular updates to the site while I reconfigure things in the background (I’m working on the site in ways that aren’t apparent at the moment). Every weekend I’ll upload images and other relevant information for what I regard as the best sculpts of the week. This is not a contest, and the number of sculpts featured here will range anywhere from none to many.
This week I have two: King of the Ghouls by Jody Siegel (Imbrian Arts) and Hombre Toro by Pedro Fernández (Sphere Wars).

Hombre Toro (Sphere Wars)
Jody and Pedro have really outdone themselves with these two pieces. The composition of the sculpts is exquisite, but what I love most is that they both challenge conventions and pull it off nicely.
I’m not sure about the release dates for the models, sometime during the spring I imagine. I do know that the KoG’s is, at the moment, intended for Jody’s next box set. Watch the forums that he frequents and his website for more information. In the meantime, you can see more images of the KoG at DragonPainting.net and Hombre Toro on the Sphere Wars blog.

Anakron recently uploaded another fantastic video as part of the Free Tutorial Movement, this one on sculpting a worn wooden door with metal fixtures. The door can be made with a combination of green stuff (duro) and Fimo or Super Sculpey. Be sure to check it out.
I’m always impressed by how easy Anakron makes this sort of thing look. It’s a real treat to see such talent at work and on display.
