Re: Best SCULPTOR/3D ARTIST in the business?
In general I think Kev White is probably one of the best sculptors; his anatomy and detail work is unsurpassed.
That said it comes down to style and taste, and I personally don't like much of Kev's stuff. I'm a big fan of Mark Copplestone's style.
Shane Hoyle is another great sculptor who's able to straddle styles. Jes isn't that great I don't think. The Perry's are both awesome. And Tre Manor has some phenomonal talent. Brian Nelson is also great, in any scale.
I couldn't actually pick a favourite...
In BB, Poncho consistently produces the best looking teams.
You should also check out Nick Bibby. See how far he's come from making little green men for Citadel and Foundry.

Yeah that is all well and good you know but this is about OUR sculptor's. I think the NAF should honor them each year by giving out awards for best team, best miniature, best sculptor, best sideline, best tournament fig, best Fundamentals(Like Sally4th's scoreboards), best terrain and such. Rookie of the year and Best Icebreaker(As in thinking fresh) of course as well. Perhaps a Best Potential for Conversion could slide in other sculptors little bit as well though.JT-Y wrote:In general I think Kev White is probably one of the best sculptors; his anatomy and detail work is unsurpassed.

Obviously the companies who made it all happen needs cred as co-winners as well.
And/Or we or those of us on Facebook could do it every january, but the NAF is best to avoid cheating and/or trolling.

I don't know that they're really OUR sculptors. Most of them do sculpts outside of Blood Bowl as well and many fantasy sculpts convert over to Blood Bowl quite easily.theghr wrote:Yeah that is all well and good you know but this is about OUR sculptor's.

Re: Best SCULPTOR/3D ARTIST in the business?
The sensitivity is strong in this one in sense. Fact is that they are producing miniatures for us to use so therefore they deserve it. Do some of them(A select fiew as i see it) do it just for money? Sure, but i can accept that. When it comes to conversions it may be a great part of the hobby but i dont think its something for the NAF to fucus too much of their appreciation on. But as i said, there could be one award for best conversion potential just to make a point of it. It would be a funny one as well i think even though the recipient most often would probably not care for it extremely much, for example Mantic wouldn't especially becouse of Dreadball.

For me the best sculptor for fantasy football is Pedro Ramos.
Regardless the working for Vortice Miniatures has also made impressive work with all other brands.
Good sculptor and a better person. My vote is for he.

Regardless the Spaniard's is really shifty, with the italian's coming second. Crazy how much talent there are in those two countries.
