Wow, cool. I am 100% behind the seductress Iggwilv. Behind, heh heh.

Lots of good choices there, but I had to go with a demonic Iuz. Evil Grin

Old man spittle Iuz,cause he reminds me of the Tall Man only slightly more amish looking.

This is pretty exciting. I am really looking forward to this poll filling out. Even though I won't get the miniature out till next year, I still am eager to get it designed.

If anyone wants to come up with alternative names for all the contestants, please do.

I voted for seductress Iggwilv as well, but I'd definitely prefer to see some two-figure sets with Iggwilv (crone + seductress) and Iuz (demon + old man), Zagig and Zagyg (mortal + demigod), etc.

On a single-figure basis, here's my top preferences:

1. Iggwilv seductress
2. Eli Tomorast
3. Lord Robilar
4. Iggwilv crone
5. Zagig
6. Lareth the Beautiful

I'd prefer two-figure packs too, and no, I am not surprised to see Seductress Iggwilv leading the choices. Laughing

If sculpting was not so expensive to finance I would do a two-figure pack. However, I do intend to further this line without the voting so there is really no reason that I could eventually make multiple figure packs. In the case of Iggwilv's two forms I might be able to get a deal on the Old Crone as it would not be too difficult to sculpt...if she or Iuz wins, I will see about getting a two-pack, but I only promise to try.

BTW, I have contacted Kev White about his availability to sculpt this figure this Spring. If he turns me down, I am going to try a couple other people.

Actually, I have contacted Bob Olley and he is not available until some time next year. $ 400 to $ 500 is pretty expensive for a single miniature, too. My general range is about $ 300, and so far I have had no trouble having to go over it.

I like Bob's stuff, he's really good, but I am not looking to have to just settle for who I can get. My top three choices would be Kev White, Jeff Grace, or Tom Meier, in no particular order, but since the latter two sculpt pretty consistently for Dark Sword, I don't want to hinder the progress of their awesome products.

Yeah, Denis Mize would definitely be a top choice for me, were he still with us.

Bob is working a lot for Dragonblood now, I imagine when he's done with all that he may become available...I had considered him for my lizardmen. Sandra Garrity is available pretty much all the time, so I will likely contract her for something come tax season when I put all of my refund into the company.

At any rate, when it comes to sculptors, I am like a kid in a candy store...a candy store that has long lines and slow email response. Regardless, I am still having fun with all this and I promise to live up to the results of this poll as well as make sure a quality product gets released. I will not, however, state a release date until the metals are in my garage.

As they say,one must learn to crawl before he can properly walk.

Yeah Dennis Mize was the best if you ask me,his niece sold me some of his miniatures from his estate,which i got some semi-rare stuff for pennies on the dollar,real nice lady and she took the time to talk to me about her late uncle,which was cool.

Sandra garrity is pretty good,not quite the best,but pretty good,but if your going to go with her,you might also give julie guthrie a try.Her work has gotten more consistanly better from her days at grenadier.

Have you gotten any of those otherworld miniatures yet?i just ordered my first batch and im waiting on them to arrive any day now.I'm not a huge fan of slotted figurines,but they just look too good not to have in my vast collection,plus thier one of the few companies that actually make authentic looking monsters that you can't get from other miniature companies these days.And as far as the hasbro chinese/mexican- produced plastic crap they keep belting out,they can cram it up thier @$$ for all i care!

Thu Oct 08, 2009 2:07 pm

Iggwilv's that far in the lead? Yay! The image of gamers as sex-starved dorks lives on! Laughing

Thu Oct 08, 2009 2:30 pm

Iggwilv the Seductress is just hot. Wink

First off, I figured that whichever miniature I produce for CF will mostly be a show piece as in that I agree that personalities are hard to utilize into a game. I think its the principle behind the miniature, perhaps, a show of caring.

@Acid Arrow: I have everything Otherworld produced save for this most recent release. I should also mention that I have duplicates of many as well. I spent a total of about $1,200 there this year (I had it to spend).

I want to also say the Black Tree Design, another miniature company, has a kickass sale going on with pretty much everything for 50% off. They own the all of the old Harlequin ranges. You should check them out, its a great way to stock up on cheap miniatures.

Iggwilv the seductress really. I could see if it were a live model but this is either gonna be plastic or pewter. I went with Turrosh Mak just because I would like to see your your vision of him. Although any of the choice except Lareth the beautiful would be welcome by me. Evil Grin

Sun Oct 11, 2009 10:42 pm

Well i'm with conan on this one!But that's just cause im a sexist pig.
Then again,i would'nt mind seeing lareth the beautiful.

Thu Oct 22, 2009 10:20 pm
