Welcome back my fellow GreyMountaineers to the 2nd instalment of reviews from
the
Veiled Lamp brand.
As many of you already know, Seb Archer is
one of the best talents in the sculpting and painting world and has
launched his newest brand. We are delighted to have the chance to review his
sculptures.
The 2nd release from
Veiled lamp is called
Radley and Bellow Roos Explorers of the Northern Tundra, and apparently this pays homage
to one of Seb’s favourite games. After a bit of Google shenanigans
I think the game is Baldur’s Gate?
Boo is a miniature giant space
hamster who is the companion of Minsc. While the homage is being
paid, there is actually no similarity to Minsc, and only the hamster bares
resemblance but only because it is a hamster haha.
The sculpture
was done as a study into a well travelled and weathered face, which also takes
inspiration from another great sculptor Romain Van Den Bogaert, whom is also a
super nice guy and we have reviewed some of his pieces here on GMR.
