It's ok.
You should send it to me immediately and do another one........ lol

Very nice work. Are you a professional sculptor? If not, you should be!

BTW if you got it cast I would definitely buy one.

I'd be upset PM stole my line, but the sculpt IS that good. ;->=

Oh, and don't let Malamute's avatar fool you; a Cushing version of Van Helsing would be appreciated!

Thanks again. :)

I started sculpting this vampire after Mark Gatiss' History of Horror on BBC3, last year.  The Hammer episode. ;)  Until then I'd only seen Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin and Doctor Who (and as an Oxford student in an old Laurel and Hardy film!), so it was a pleasant surprise to see him leaping around and being badass in the clips, and in The Brides of Dracula afterwards.  I wouldn't say no to turning out a sculpt that might bear a resemblance, after that.

Vyper: I hope this is okay.  I touched up the face a little, bringing the jowls in a bit, but even so I didn't want to zoom in too close on the pits and scrapes.  And hopefully it doesn't make him look too much like a Thundercat...



Very nice work. Are you a professional sculptor? If not, you should be!

I try to be.  I've sold a couple before.  I hope it counts.

(Occurs to me that this topic might be in the wrong place, too.  Should it go up in the Lead Adventures Miniatures board?)

Very nice and a very strong (vampyric) pose.
Great to see a vampyre that looks threatening without the need to brandish a sword.

If that was cast I'd buy it without hesitation.  Without hesitation, I tell you!  If as you intimate a Cushing-esque Abraham Van may be in the pipeline too, then I for one am very excited!  Also, what about the possibility of some wanton women for Drac's harem?

What a classic sculpt. I want one. Let us know who will cast them when you can. Oh, yes...more wantonness.
