Those are some very nice pirates indeed!
As to the sculptor, if memory serves me right then these were sculpted by Steve Saleh, prior to Kev leaving i-Kore (or rather, the cardhouse tumbled down on them) but not by Kev's hand.
IMO, he actually made some fine figures - problem was that they had to fit together with Kev's unique style. And in my eyes, they just didn't work together. But disconnected from the other figures in the range, then they sure do look the business!
