good luck with finding out. Id like ot know as well
I think the return of SS crediting the sculptor wont be happening.
Yes Lonnie, I know they said they were updating their process of crediting the entire creative team behind the pieces, but that wouldnt explain the names being removed from the bases.
although luckily thru the forums, we frequently find out one way or another.

I would really like to know as well because it looks very nice. Maybe you should put this in the ask sideshow section Bulls.
Does it matter really? Certainly the sculptor should get credit, but so should everyone else involved. It's a sad thing to see how fan reaction is changing the sculpting arena. Some artist are getting a free pass on lackluster work just because they have a fan base that thinks everything they do is the best in the industry. Maybe I'm different than most but my first and only consideration in buying a statue or figure is how does it look compared to the source material, not who sculpted it. Certainly all parties involved should get credit for their efforts, but I think a piece should be judged first on it's merits as a piece of art. A lot of people will jump on a thread and say a piece is great solely based on who sculpted it, without judging the work first. Personally I like to see things initially without knowing who sculpted it, but like I said, I'm obviously different from most.

So your point there is invalid in this case for " the work" has been "judged" already. You definetly are different than most.

So is he.
I agree. It's already been judged. Now we want to know and give credit to the person who did the great work.

Yep, certainly an impressive bust.

good sculpting is probably the biggest factor that sells a piece.yruh8n said:
when a collector sees a good sculpt it spurrs interest in what other pieces the sculptor has done cause you become a fan of their style / technique.
When a piece is produced in the factory the final product is a direct reflection of the original sculpt due to the molds producing exact replicas of the sculptor's work. While the paint and fabrication are mere attempts at a factory trying to reproduce the paint master/ clothing prototypes, so those suffer in translation frequently while the sculpt remains an exact copy.
I also dont see any sculptors getting a "Free Ride" on a bad sculpt. Bad sculpts are usually ridiculed endlessly no matter who the sculptor is.
Who judges a piece by wanting to know the sculptor before seeing it anyway? I know I dont close my eyes and refuse to view pics until I find out who sculpted it.
As a spare time noob sculptor myself Im always VERY interested to know who sculpted an appealing piece. Frequently you can then go to said sculptor's site and view more of their work and/or even see WIP pics of the piece in question.
As far as the other fabricators, painters etc not being credited, you should redirect your gripe to Sideshow and not the other board members. We have nothing to do with that.

I wonder if Andy B. did it on the sly. I'll buy anything he sculpts cuz I'm his number one fan!!DannieDarKo said:Obviously this isn't the case here. Everyone in this thread including you have praised this bust highly without knowing who sculpted it. DUUUUUUUUUUH.
Well no, actually I never said anything about the bust itself. This thread caught my attention because this is something that bothers me. Several years ago I saw the comics industry nearly go down in flames because what artist was working on the book (or what gimicky cover it had) became more important than the story or character. To some extent the same thing is happening today with writers in the comic industry. People look at "art" in different ways. Most art competitions are judged without knowing who the artist are until the judges make their decession. All I'm saying is that a lot of things that get posted here and on other boards are being judged by who sculpted it, not what it looks like. If you like the bust (or anything else) that's cool, I just think that not knowing who the sculptor is right away helps people learn more about what art is all about.

Could be since he did mention Sideshow has a hand full of his sculpts left to announce.
ANDY B!

I think I know what your trying to say and I couldn't agree more about my awesome presence. Yes it is true, I am awesome and you have my permission to bask in the glory of my awesomeness. :chew

In all honesty I don't give a rat's ****e who sculpted it. Totally immaterial to whether or not I'll buy. Nice to know though. I would skip buying certain comic books based on what hack they had filling in on the art. Sometimes I think Marvel purposely hired guys that couldn't draw better than my 7 year old to see if the "sharp as cows" public would still buy. Your argument doesn't hold water.
