blakmajic Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Greetings Everyone, In celebration of the new greens i thought we could play a little game ...name that sculptor! Lots of you profess to love Reaper (some of you sure post enough ...do you guys ever paint anything? ) but do you really know what you are talking about. Well here's your chance to prove it. Here are my picks: Manticore: S. Garrity (the musculature and hair detail) Mummy: S. Garrity (the detail work) Arganox: B. Siens (the sword) Ogre: B. Siens (the face and pose) Gargoyle: B. Ridolfi (the fact that it's a gargoyle and it's sitting on a pillar) Gator Warrior: B. Olley (an educated guess having to do with swamps) Giant Bat: B. Ridolfi Gladiator1: J. Johnson (if he/she wasn't wearing a helmet, i bet it would hae that "Johnson" face) Gladiator2: J. Johnson (pose of the legs) Halfling w/Sword: B. Jackson (the sword and pose) Kneeling dude: B. Jackson (the sword again) Voodoo Woman: D. Mize (skinny physique,the pose, detail of arms at elbow juncture) Woman w/Sword: D. Mize (skinny physique, the pose,detail of arms at elbow juncture) The person who gets the most correct will win a free set of these when they are release, courtesy of Kit. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael-TLH Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I think you and I agree on most of these. Maybe. Hey... I just buy the things. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladystorm Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 the rhino warrior was left off of the list. my knowledge of sculptors isn't as extensive as I wish it was, I can go out on a limb and say none of the 14 look like Klocke to me. I think the face on the kneeling guy looks like Garrity, but I'm real good at being wrong. this is kinda fun, thanks blakmajic for starting this game. cbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted September 13, 2002 Author Moderator Share Posted September 13, 2002 Gaah. I think I can ID the Jackson and Garrity ones, but not the othes. Aaack. This is harder than it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironworker Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Well the halfling and the ranger looking guy could be by someone new. They don't seem quite like any sculptor I've seen from Reaper. They don't seem at all like Sandra Garity because they are far less detailed. I would say they come closer to Bobby Jackson's work. And no Klocke that I can tell. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mengu Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Manticore: Hard to say... Mummy: Sandra Garrity (compare Khalith) Arganox: Werner Klocke (compare Ironraven, and compare pose to the Anti Paladin) Ogre: Ben Siens (Compare minataur of the maze) Gargoyle: Bob Ridolfi (compare Crypt Bats, though the smooth wings are not typical so I have doubts here, could be Ben Siens) Gator Warrior: Ben Siens (just guessing) Giant Bat: Bob Ridolfi (wings are comparable to crypt bats) Gladiators: Jim Johnson (Compare Kang the Half-orc) Halfling: Bobby Jackson (yes, the sword) Kneeling: Bobby Jackson (if I'm right at this guess, he's gotten much better with these last two sculpts) Rhino: Werner Klocke (Just a guess looking at the base) Voodoo: Denis Mize (compare Tyden) Woman w/Sword: Denis Mize (compare Tyden) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakmajic Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Whoops. Rhino Warrior: J. Wiebe (a guess based on past work). This can get a bit tough when it comes to monsters, but human types are much easier to attribute to a sculptor. I'm fairly sure i can identify a Garrity human almost every time. For sure I can identify a Jim Johnson 10 out of 10 times just by looking at his unique facial style. You are propably right that none of the work is Klocke's. My first thought was the kneeling dude and halfling could be Klocke, but the weapon styles are a big giveaway to Bobby J. I'd be interested if Kit could dig up the sculptors and see how close everyone's picks are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UngorEatingStefan Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I'm going to have to say the miniature is Kneeling Ranger by Bobby Jackson a conversion off of the Kneeling Assassin. He showed it to me before it had a face at Origins, that was pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattooman Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 hello I believe the rhino and the gator are S G. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scowling Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 The Giant Bat is Jason Wiebe; he said so on the Yahoo group. I think he said the same thing about the Elephant, Rhino and Gator guys (the Elephant guy was shown on another site). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgramen Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Ben Siens rocks. That's all I have to say about that. I'd buy just about anything Siens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted September 17, 2002 Author Moderator Share Posted September 17, 2002 I have similar opinions about Garrity, and more recently, Kloke. I coulda sworn the gator was by Garrity. Hmm. I must take a better look through Casket Works, and memorize styles some more. Or I could just stab in the dark, it's easier.

CripDyke Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Frosh, that's interesting. I never had the feeling that the gator warrior was garrity. What made you guess her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted September 18, 2002 Author Moderator Share Posted September 18, 2002 Now that I look at it again, I'm not sure. I think it was the base that threw me. Yeah, that was it. On second thought, the Gator has none of the details and texture that are Garrity's hallmark, be they on humanoid or monster. Hmm. Yeah. What WAS I thinking?
