Artist's Comments

I made this figurine with plastilina or plastercine (kind of modelling paste akin to clay) This was a gift for Luis, who was my late brother-in-law.
I sculpted this from a painting by Brom called "Lone Wolf" in fact, I didn't do the background, it belongs entirely to Brom's art. I only sculted the figurine, took the photograph and combined my work with Brom's painting using photoshop. That's all. Hope you like it. The painting is the cover of the book "Chronicles of Elric of Melnibone"

I don't think I've seen this one yet. Is it a specific character?
It looks REALLY cool. :nod:
And the background, even though it's not yours, goes great with the character.
Very nice.

Brom is incredible.

I don't think it's bad or wrong to sculpt directly from a painting that someone else made, but as an artist, I find it in bad taste not to give credit where credit is do. The background is entirely "Lone Wolf" painted by Brom in 1994 and you sculpted the figure directly from the painting. If he used this on a book cover and the character was named "Elric of Melnibone", then fine, but if you're taking something that's not yours and trying to pass it off as something else by renaming it, that's wrong. I'm glad you stated that you didn't do the background, but, c'mon. Being half-honest isn't really being honest.

"I sculpted this piece from a painting by so and so titled such and such." It's that easy.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I promise, I just think you should know that that could REALLY upset people, especially Brom fans (if not Brom himself).

you are right. I sculpted this figurine from a painting and I did not give any credits because I did not know who the painter was, nor how was called the painting. I just sculpted this from a picture I saw on internet and I did not know anything about Brom and his art. Next time I will be more careful to give credits when needed. I apologize, thank you for the piece of advise. I'm going to change the description of the pic.
