After a successful first campaign and very good feedbacks on the quality of the model (l’esclave blanche), we are launching our second campaign with not one but TWO muses!
Here Flora (painted by Max Nonnenbruch and sculpted by David Whitaker) and Medée (painted by Alfons Mucha and sculpted by Ian Benicio)

Very well done! Nice that there is a company wich serves such sujets!!!


Cheers

Hummmm!!!!

I like these.

Marc

I supported the first kickstarter project and ave received my copy.
Very clean casting (only a minor line at the lower back, easily corrected) and sharp details. Am supporting this project as well.

If those last pics are what's for sale

If those last pics are what's for sale.....It looks like Twiggy in disguise....support is one thing; painting it is another...…..Sorry.

Wayne

Thank you for your comments

Sorry Wayne, I'm afraid Twiggy was not born at the time of the painter Mucha

Yes, I know.....Neither was computer generated sculpting.....Originality rules...…..

Great work! Great news and good luck for your Kickstarter

behind the computer there is a sculptor, a human being

You find that there is no resemblance to the original painting?

Not sure if you'd want her as a muse, but Medee would look fantastic if she had her victim at her feet as per the Mucha poster (we all had her on our student walls in the 60s... alongside that female tennis player )

What's next..? ….Paint by number figures?

I like the subject matter. Well executed.

What is old is new again.

These provide a link back to their inspiration and will probably introduce a younger generation to source material they may never have known about.

Tom

Yes, I was one of those with a Mucha poster on my dorm room wall.

But then again, I was an art major.

Tom

My apologies...I had no right to take my bad mood out on your work...selling artwork is no easy task as it is very tough to please everyone. So with that, I wish you the best in your venture and much success .

Best regards,
Wayne

A Medee painted as per the Mucha poster would be quite interesting.

Does the Medee come with a wooden leg?


(I know Medee was earlier, but I couldn't resist it )

Hi Wayne.... but did you have the tennis player?

(and I don't mean Coco)

During the first Kickstarter campaign, we offered the pledgers to choose the next muse.
This time we will do more! I propose several visuals, but you will also have the opportunity to submit yours to this address:
golem-miniatures@orange.fr
There are nevertheless some constraints to respect:
- It must be a female character.
- This muse must be from a painting of the nineteenth century.
At the end of the campaign we will do a survey and will elect together the next muse. Whoever has proposed the winning visual will receive this muse for free!
If you want to see the paintings I've proposed:

Les oiseaux familiers (Emile Friant)


Lady Godiva (John Collier)



La fidèle (Emile Vernet-Lecomte)

I believe the Godiva has been done, if it hasn't that one. If it has La fidèle for me the first one is rather bland and generic to me.
