He was my first and has always been a favorite sculptor, but he also changed the course of my life in a sort of bizarre way. And Erol Otus. I love that dude so much and wish I had a fraction of his imagination and style. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to paint the Goroloth and the Arakoth next year. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for just a few highlights: - Tre Manor, because he's awesome. - Bob Ridolfi and Julie Guthrie, after learning from a Reaper Live episode that they basically sculpted my childhood toys, I owe them a thank you. - Patrick Keith, seems like a nice guy and I like his artistic style. - Ronnie Renton of Mantic, for going toe-to-toe with the titan in the industry. - Leonidas Vesperini of Mythic Games, because he looks like he genuinely enjoys what he does when promoting the games his company does. I'd be content to have a 10-minute chat over a beverage with any one of the above, and several others mentioned. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klarg1 36877 Report post Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) 22 hours ago, Inarah said: May 26 Name someone in the game industry you would like to meet in person. I'm honestly not sure. Years of traveling to gaming conventions and hanging out at game stores has brought me into contact with a bunch of industry people. There are obviously a lot more whom I haven't met, but I'm not sure who I would put on my wish list. At this stage, I think I would much rather get to hang out socially with Industry people whom I have already met, but only see at mile-a-minute events when they are super busy. (I don't want to name drop, but it would be nice to get to hang out with people like @TaleSpinner at a time when neither of us have to be anywhere for a few hours.) 21 hours ago, Cranky Dog said: Kevin Siembieda comes to mind for both categories. I've met him, and we were both perfectly friendly towards each other, even in the middle of certain crowd-funding... events. It was a side effect of meeting the Chuck Walton at Gencon. Chuck was super nice, and I am delighted to have a photo of the two of us together, and some of his original pencil art hanging on my wall.

I wear my shoes pretty much constantly. This is due to a birth defect that causes one of my legs to be about 3/4" shorter than my other leg, necessitating walking on tiptoes on my right foot if I'm not wearing shoes. Coupled with the overall poor condition my feet have been for the past two - three years due to my generally bad gait and I have pain walking without shoes for much distance, even with a foot brace worn almost all the time. 7 hours ago, Inarah said: May 26 Name someone in the game industry you would like to meet in person. I honestly don't follow the game industry that closely, so I don't know many personalities. I'd say "Wayne Reynolds" but I've technically met him already. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the talented sculptors including, but not limited to Julie Guthrie and Bob Ridolfi @TaleSpinner Jason Wiebe Artists like Anne Foerster, @Wren, @Corporea and Angel Giraldez Basically, I just really want to go to Reapercon someday.
