TRIBUTE TO JOHN BLANCHE ❤️
Happy retirement John ! 😊🎉🍾
Take great care of yourself, go on and enjoy creating more grimdark art !

I had the privilege to work one time for John.
He and Zoé commissioned me a model for the Femme Militant range, a 40mm scaled range of resin miniatures they created.
I met him in the Bugman’s Pub and he showed me all his drawings, his book of greatness and vision for this collection ❤️
Each time I met him then has been a real treat !

PLEGIA.
I loved sculpting her ! ❤️❤️❤️
Unfortunately, the range was stopped before her release (she was part of the fourth set of miniatures).

The experience was really nice, John was kind and open, giving me all the latitude I needed; he made it clear : he wanted my own interpretation of the character ❤️

There were just few resin castings made by then and John offered me one.
I gave it to my great friend and one of the most amazing painter, the 2 Golden Demon Slayers winner Benoit Menard😊
He painted it and offered me back as a gift ! ❤️❤️❤️

You may or may not like John’s work, a very special style and vision, but you have to celebrate him for what he created and as one of the pillar of the miniatures and wargames industry !
We would not be here without him !

So,
THANK YOU JOHN !
And don’t stop ! 😉🙏

So nice to spend time with my friends !
How many prices, Golden Demons,…Swords ! surrounding me ???
Glad we could reunite after so much years !

Though I am not a talented painter like these guys, I do my best to be a descent sculptor 😉😁

A looonnnggg time ago (about 25-30 years 😅), long before to even think I could sculpt, not to mention becoming a professional sculptor….

…I started a Dark Angels army ! 💚🖤

Fun fact, years later, I was contacted by Forge World for designing and sculpting the Dark Angel Venerable Dreadnought ! 💚🖤❤️
(Pics at .sculptor 😉)

Seeing the new (and really nice) 40k Terminators, I thought of these metal ones I painted for my army 😋

It was definitely tabletop quality but I was very happy (by then) with it ! 🥰

Another Oldie, Another Style !

This is The Gob Without Name ❤️
…Remember Gob’Da and Gob’Nan ? (search my feed’s page 😉).
Well, I sculpted (and designed/adapted) several other Goblins for the project : Gob’Z’Heroes by SkullsMini.
Find more details about it on my Blog ! (Link in bio)

This one was huge, lot of different designs and volumes, so challenging, so exciting !
I loved the mechanical parts as for the Gob himself and the story he inspires ! 🥰

Commission designed to be produced in resin.

I take new commission, contact me for any inquiries !

FRANK HYDE !
Part 2 : The Back ! 😊

Following my previous post showing Frank Hyde, character I sculpted back in 2012, designed and freely inspired from Mr Hyde for a 32mm skirmish wargame created by Infamy Miniatures, I show you his back and his backpack 👍

Same kind of twisted anatomy and details made with Fimo, chains are more present and I added some kind of syringes, fueled with horrible mixtures in my mind 😁🥰

The backpack is made with Brass and Brown Stuff, very fun to do this ! 😊

Hope you’ll like it !

Oldies = Goodies ! ❤️

Back in 2012, I give you… Frank HYDE !

So fun to create these twisted volumes and anatomy, all these veins and hypertrophied muscles !
And the pose directly inspired from gorillas 🥰😊👍

Created for the old Infamy Miniatures steampunk range of 32mm miniatures, freely inspired from an original drawing they provided.

This is a kind of version of the infamous Mr Hyde 😉

Frank Hyde / 32mm scale / Infamy Miniatures / Fimo, Brass & Scrap Metal / 2012.

⚠️ Old WIP ! ⚠️❤️
Some pics of the work in progress of a giant evil Polar Bear I sculpted back in 2018.

Created for Lumberjacks Studio‘s KS « ELFES », a range of 54mm scale miniatures from the famous French comic books 🥰

Directly inspired from the cover of the 11st volume of the series, I got liberty to adapt and imagine the scene ❤️

The second pic (grey bear) is a rough/sketch volumes attempt in plasticine that I used as reference.

La BRUTE !
Here is a miniature I sculpted long ago for the board/dungeon crawler-type game CLAUSTROPHOBIA, taking place in HellDorado universe.

This sculpture has been designed to be produced in PPP (pre-painted plastic) and so, had to be adapted : the final model will lose quality, details and volumes !
Period.
Then, as sculptor, you have to manage it : more smooth areas, less details and each has to be thicker, the miniature has to be taller than the final product, etc.
Here, the actual sculpture is 37mm at the eyes, the PPP final version is about 34mm, and more important, the miniature lost lot of thickness is the production process.

I am still very proud of this work !
I think it works very well 🥰

What do you think ?
