JonasD Posted April 12, 2007 Report Posted April 12, 2007 I just had to show that one off... I sculpted a well-known little squirrel some time ago, more for fun than anything else. Several people persuaded me and Noha-Studios (who I did most of my sculpting for for the last years) to actually cast him. So we did. By chance a french friend of mine, who has suscribed Figurine-magazine, showed me an artcicel. This was about a painting contest in Lyon, where an Italian painter made gold with exactly this mniature! Man, wow. As far as I can see, a great paintjob... Quote
matty1001 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Posted April 13, 2007 Thats cool, must be great to see your stuff painted up so well. Quote
JonasD Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Posted April 15, 2007 Yes, this IS great. As it's been released more or less in the shades, there are few people possessing one to paint him up. But I am looking into making this fella better available via my own page. Just put the hand on the deal by now. Quote
Mosch Posted April 15, 2007 Report Posted April 15, 2007 Nto to rain on your parade (and the squirrel IS great) but isn't there a trademark or something like that on the little fella? Would be a bummer to see you sued. Quote
Wren Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I would love to purchase this miniature, I really hope you make it available! It doesn't seem like it should cause any more problems than the portrait miniatures Andrea makes. (Russel Crowe as the gladiator, Mr. Spock, Captain Jack, they've got a bunch that are very clear depictions of trade marked characters/actors in all but name.) Quote
thewartoad Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I don't think he'll have a problem with the trademark. It's not like he's going to put 20th Century Fox out of business! Cheers. Quote
JonasD Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Posted April 16, 2007 As long as you change 33% of it, you're pretty fine! I checked back on that before doing the casts. Quote
