Used to work for them...

Wow, I wish I could see some of your work. You have my respect. It's not easy work to do, I've tried. Still I really love doing it. We actually have a GW store in our neighboring city here in Japan. I'll have to pay them a visit again sometime.
Can I ask you some questions chasfh?
How did you get into it? Were you any good at art in school? Why did you sell your GW stuff? When it comes to painting, lead or plastic? Is this something you're still doing? How many hours did it take to sculpt on average? Did you have a favourite race to sculpt/paint? What is your job at Freeola? Please tell me you're their fulltime GM and during work outings you enjoy larping. Have you ever considered going into 3D?

Sorry about that chasfh, it was my first anniversary the other day and I got pulled away.
Really impressed by your 3D work. What software do you use? I'm studying with Maya at the moment. I got inspired to give it a try after seeing some short animations by an old Freeolian who left for the gaming industry.
I can understand what you mean working for GW, although working for Freeola must be fun.

How i got into GW is an odd one...
Kind of "fell" into it if that makes sense, I was looking for something to paint, found a few figures for sale and then ended up with a ton of it! People would buy it for me for Christmas and birthdays, and, me being an obsessive type, I decided I'd be better at it than anyone else.
Working for them was the worst decision ever though. It kind of kills the hobby to be caught up in it every day.

Many years of art school, "A" levels and "O" levels. I draw, paint, sculpt, am a competent photographer (did that freelance for a number of years), in fact I'll have a crack at anything. I even did a bit of aluminium casting once!
When it comes to painting models... RESIN!!! Plastic is fine, metal is okay but resin models just rock for detail and sharpness.
Still do a little painting now and again, not much in the way of sculpting though. I tend to do more "virtual" stuff, 3D computer art
See some of my stuff HERE
Artist name chasfh...
You'll also see some art by some of my friends...
Larping is not my thing I'm afraid...
EDIT; Not sure it would be appreciated if i started darting around the office with a plastic sword slaying imaginary goblins...:-)
