Despite NOT making the deadline I wish to thank everyone for the inspiration :D

I'm awfully sorry but I got sidetracked. Had so much fun doing faces that I left the gnome aside for now. I'll still finish him and cast him though. Unfortunately not in time for this :( I'll try to donate him. Since I feel uncomfortable accepting money for anything with a daoist or buddhist...

If I've understood things correctly these artists are all doing the sketches in their spare time, for fun, and free of charge. In that case I should say it's fully up to them to decide when - and even if - they are going to do a certain character. You want them to work faster? Pay them. I...

After having worked on a sculpture for five weeks I took it outdoors to view it in good daylight.... and dropped it down a grate in the street :o I've also lost minor details for sculpts (heads, hands and such) on several occasions. Usually I just go: Well that's great. Gives me an excuse...

Well - not quite. None of my soccerplayers survived the mastercasting completely intact but then again now I've got the masters so that's OK. I'm supposed to get casts in the mail today :D (nudes - next step is I'll dress them up and do faces - two for each figure). Yay my first professional...

Phew! Customer satisfied. Now I can breathe again :) :) (and finish the gnome)

Just posted my job with the football (soccer) players. I should be relieved but right now I feel like the worst sculptor in the world and probably will until I get my verdict from the customer :(

Please bear in mind that I'm from Sweden. If I post 1st of november you'll probably have to wait one or two weeks until my sculpt arrives. This probably goes for other european participants as well (any?) So if you intend to cast them all at the same time, please don't rush it with the...

Update: Bushy eyebrows are a must for any selfrespecting wizard - besides I have them, to the point were my wife wants to bring out scissors and trim them :) (I - of course - refuse ;) ) More work on the hand will be done - don't worry ;) There are to many undercuts to cover up so...

I do my best. My offering from the beginning of this project is still there. Should anyone want a conceptsketch (a quick one mind) done from description to work from they'll just have to ask me and I'll do my best :) Current state of the gnome: And back: I figure it will be easier to...

And as the first day working on my little gnome ends we find it looking like this: Added feet, worked some more on the robe and got started on the face. and since my sons birthday is coming up and he loves the turtles I've been working a bit on a piece of fanart for him as well (but that's a...

OK. No conceptsketch but I've started on an alchemist. He's a bit yoda-like and asian inspired in clothing. I think I'll just call him a "gnome alchemist". Don't know what size people expect gnomes to be but he's standing about the same height as a reaper halfling. I'll keep him simple so I'll...

For tool and hard edge stuff I'd recommend mixing magic sculp or Fimo into the green stuff. Then you can cut and file it after curing. Unless you have acces to brown stuff of course. I don't. Here is another thing I'm working on. The Monkey wrench is done using that mixture (as you can see it...

Decent paintjobs. Silly writings. Evil as an active working force can only amount to becoming ridiculous in real life. In fantasy and stories it works out OK but in real life. Nah, just silly. Then again I'm buddhist. I believe in confusion but NOT in evil. Evil results are usually just the...

Very nice work! Makes me feel like doing a wizard leaning against the table but you're allreay making one right?

Heh. I'm actually a practicing zen-buddhist, member of the Cloudwater Sangha. I devote about one hour a day to zazen and forty minutes to Kata practice. Not sure if this helps in sculpting though :\ ;)

How did kobolds come to have this look in the first place? The german folkmythological figures known as "Kobolden" are more like the "knockers" of Cornish mines - that is they are dwarf/gnome like in appearance. Who invented this dog thingy?

Heh. I knew I had seen it on SOMEONES homepage. Didn't remember it was yours :D

Have you ever seen the book "Drawing and Painting Fantasy Figures" by Finlay Cowan. I just bought it and he has a female evil Genie coming out of a spellbook much like in your sculpt. Your "Genie" seems much more benign though. Beautiful work. Me I'm in a slump. I feel quite reluctant right now...

What is the point of dollys? I've really never understood this. Twisting up an armature from a piece of copper wire and bending it into shape is about three minutes work. I don't dislike dollys or anything I've just never understood the point?
