Leon from Pendraken emailed me last night. It seems a gentleman in Spain saw my 10mm Carthaginians from a few months back and wants to include them in his magazine. Desperta Ferro, here I come! (After checking my google fu, I see that 'Desperta Ferro!' was a Catalan battle cry during the middle ages. Cool!)
Holy shit. These were the elephants that I entered into a contest over at The Guild, but finished dead last in voting. It was a Pendraken contest, however, and Leon voted them as his favorite, so I won a nice gc from them. I was pretty bummed that I did so poorly in the contest, as I felt that these had been some of my best 10mm work (and some of my best work, period for that matter!)
I post now, admittedly, because I terribly thrilled and proud of myself! However, I also have another reason - the editor Javier Gomez has requested some pics in high res. Dont think they will appear high res here on the blog, but do you think these pictures are good enough to submit to a magazine, or do I need to go back to the drawing board on them? Be honest!
Thanks very much for looking, and sharing my excitement!!!!
HOLY CRAP MAN!!! Are you serious? Well done!!! Congrats - I don't see why these pics wouldn't be fine for a magazine as long as they are hi res enough for printing - 300 dpi is ideal. But I would also get close-ups from all angles of every piece - if for no other reason than to really get in on the detail work - you did the work on each, might as well show each one of them off! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!!! I've secretly been making a list of the ones I want to convince you to sell to me. I had a thought about the elephant though... I think it would be so cool to have one of these elephants with a couple monkeys on its back.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much lady and gentleman!
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with those pictures as I have seen them in your next post!
ReplyDelete10 mm???? I think I'm going to play some scrabble in the future! :-D
