If you're talking goblins I don't see why not (assuming the quality is high enough... apologies if you're a famous sculptor, LOL)

You never know with the internet

Might not hurt to have a few alternates in case one of the people who volunteered isn't able to pull it off in time, etc. I am really looking forward to what folks come up with for GoblinAid!

Any word on if Kev will be going back to sculpting after this?

Kev is apparently keen to get back to work as soon as he can see properly again

his cheekbones were broken in the attack and he'll need plates/screws put in, and his face/eyes are badly swollen at the moment so it may well be a while

(but thankfully his themselves eyes and hands are ok, so judging from how determined he sounds if it's quicker than that)

Morning...more sculptors added to the crew, bringing our total now to 23 models:

Tim Prow (Wizkids, Heartbreaker, etc)
Paul Gargon (Mad Clown)
Andy Foster (Heresy)
Alex Hunter (Warploque)

We've been discussing the best way forwards now that we're gathering so many models and it looks like we're going to try and split things into 2 or 3 smaller sets, aiming at a price if £10 per set, the bulk of which will go to Kev after bare costs (metal, postage) are taken out.

Hoping to have the first couple of eBay auctions up today, and will add more as we get chance to. Additionally the PayPal donation account *should* go live today or tomorrow, for those who want to donate directly.

Sounds great! I think they'll be able to raise quite a bit with the GoblinAid minis, and selling the greens might give them a little bit of a jumpstart.

If Kev is as good-humored as he seems, when all is said and done I think he should sculpt a beat-up goblin/orc representing himself. I.e. one that is on the mend. Really hoping he recovers with no long-term physical effects.

Update from Goblinaid

Hi all,

Kev wrote me he will be undergoing surgery first thing tomorrow morning! They are going to keep him there overnight as they want to make sure he won't lose sight in his right eye as it dropped due to the smashed eye socket. They told Kev he might be back to 'normal' within two weeks which is great news of course!

On another very postive note, the guys over at Renegade (I'll drop in a link when I find one) got into contact with Kev and told him they are going to start producing some of the new orcs done by him and are very generously offering him 50%!!! of the sales! And on top of that they are going to auction off some painted fantasy stuff to boot to raise even more funds! Hats off to you guys!

Kev is over the moon as he really wanted to see the orcs released! Believe my word on it that Kev is quite overwhelmed and humbled by the support of everyone and is feeling so much better because of it!

On a personal not I'd like to thanks you all too! I've been amazed at the support and positive thoughts you all are giving. Jon and Ian, I've not known you for long but you are heroes in my book!!!

Cheers,

Tim.

Best wishes to Kev for his operation tomorrow.
Like others who have already posted, I have quite a few of Kevin's sculpts amongst my O&G army, they hark back to another time when GW allowed their sculptors to express their skills & art.
Kudos to everyone who has set up Goblin Aid & are giving their time freely to help Kevin & his family recuperate from this cowardly attack.

Peace & Love

Don't Panic !

Thanks for continuing to post the updates, Orlando. Also hoping the surgery goes well, and will be ready to support with buying some gobbos when the time comes!

Orcs were my first and main WFB army, bac when I used to play, and Kev's sculpting aesthetic was a huge part of it. I remember being pissed off when GW stopped crediting the individual sculptors in WD and the annual catalogues.

Just the other day I dug out a box filled with my old unpainted WFB2/3 era orcs and sorted them neatly and carefully into baggies for painting. Most are of course Kev's sculpts with a few from Nick Lund.

I separated a whole bunch of them to get painted simply due to being great models.

The first of the Sculpts for Gobinaid has surfaced (that was fast)



and they've posted some Q&A stuff

A quick GoblinAid Q & A

We’ve had an amazing response in 4 days – thank you all.

A lot of questions are being repeatedly asked, now we’re (a little) more organised we can answer some of them….

Q. I’m a sculptor, can I do something?
A. Yes. All we ask is that it’s a Goblin and 22-23mm tall and you can get it (or imagery) to us in time for Salute on April 20th.

Q. I’m a painter, can I paint something?
A. Yes, feel free. We’ve had lots of enquiries about painting/auctioning/organising events et cetera. You really don’t need to ask permission; we’re not ‘in charge’, more ‘coordinators’ – if you want to sit in a bath tub of mushy peas for a week, go for it! Just let us know what you’re doing so we can promote it.

Q. I’ve got X can I send it to you?
A. You can send items to be auctioned/raffled to either Geronimo c/o Fenris Games or me c/o Ainsty Castings

Q. Can I just make a donation?
A. Yes – the dedicated Paypal address will be live in a day or so; just keep an eye on the page and we’ll let you know as soon as it is

Q. What will happen to the money raised?
A. Having talked it over with Tim and Ian we’d like to initially raise enough to replace Kev’s stolen computer. He’s eager to get back to work as soon as possible and that is something that will help his aim. If we’re really successful it might even have a spellchecker ;-)

Cheers,
Dag

At first I wasn't sure about that WIP, but the more I look at it, the more I like it . And humorous gobbos are great. I wonder if anyone will get the reference in 5 years, though

GoblinAid update....

Have finally got a live, dedicated PayPal account and bank account sorted to take donations and proceeds from any auctions we run on the GA eBay account.

Donations can be made directly to goblinaidATfenrisgamesDOTcom. For the time being, please note that we can only accept donations and not payments made on deposit against the charity mini set - it's just too much admin for us at this stage.

When we've got a full set of sculpts and costs/payment details for the charity minis we'll be posting here, obviously, but for the time being this is available for those of you who've expressed a desire just to donate something.

A little update from Kev!

They kept him in the hospital for eight hours only to postpone the op until tomorrow! Grrr!

On a more positive note, his right eye opened up today!

Apparently so far! However, I'm hoping for fantasy-usable gobbos, this guy's a little sci fi.

Wow, that thing is awesome I might have to get one extra to cut up, move the arms and head to a fantasy gobbo body, but this thing comes close to being worth the rumoured GBP 10 per set on it's own

Yeah,
Maybe they should get the 28 sculpts in,
then decide on the best 20 that make it onto the moulds?

And then Maybe separate them into groups for purchase fantasy and scific or silly?

Panic...
