Below is the original artwork with notes for Archive by John Webster
Rob asked/told me that I would be doing the design for Archive and that I had to supply the drawing, I hadn't really drawn anything for years and I think you can tell from the picture below, but other than Rob getting carried away and making the wings miles better (I was keeping it small for ease of moulding) he got in everything I wanted
Please note
that this piece, sculpted by Enchantica sculptor/designer and Dragonlore creator
Rob Simpson was only
available to purchase direct from this site
produced entirely in the U.K.
It was
sold as a blank unpainted white which could be painted by yourself or if you prefer,
at extra cost you could have had it painted in the colour of your choice by
professional proof artistTina Sherratt, or you could even leave it white.
The picture on the right, below has one of the books titled 'How to sculpt scales' this is an "in-joke" by Rob for regular members of the Sorcerers Library Forum
This is a rather nice extra touch, the base is actually embossed with the Sorcerers Library logo, this is not a sticker
Here is a clear resin piece (limited to just 5 pieces not including this first casting)
The painted version shown below was painted by Tina Sherratt and is the official colours of the piece for the website.
(See more pictures of this painted piece here)
