I thought those sorts of contracts are to prevent you using company resources to develop things for personal gain. Something you develop entirely independently of them wouldn't be covered, though you might have to prove that. Of course if it's in a closely related field it might be hard to argue that your experience and knowledge gained from that company didn't contribute to you developing something in your own time for your own benefit.

I've never really followed individual sculptors at GW, what are some of his models?

For plastic kits, its often multiple sculptors. He worked on Hellions and Scourges, for example, but not exclusively him. He also did a lot of the old (now Finecast) Eldar Aspect Warriors (Banshees, Fire Dragons, Scorpions) back in the day.

Here are some characters that seem to be his work alone.

So basically most of the good models GW makes...

Damn, it looks like I managed to go through three different creative jobs without signing away anything even remotely like that. And in an industry that's known to be anal about this stuff...

Feth this, I'm staying freelance.

yup, but as you mentioned you worked freelance, not as a full time employee. That's totally different story.

Looks like a great time to get back into Oriental Fantasy stuff. His work so far on the new company is stunning, and if that's the new cool, count me in.

Zenit has some pretty good looking figures, I especially am looking hard at those Ninja guys they have.

Still, it is not a good idea to alienate your customers and then your creative staff. It will eventually lead to models like this that don't sell:

Eh, no, those were full time jobs.

i would'nt say that the khornemower wont sell, alot of the older guys at my flgs who really enjoyed epic are planning to pic one up just for nostalgia. Will it sell in the truck loads? well we will have to see just how silly they make it rule wise, not everyone enjoys converting and will deal with this transformer that malfunctioned halfway through transforming if it means they get a competitive piece

On topic this is sad to hear as he was one of my favorites at GW aswell. It seems the CEO stepping down was the start of an avalanche

My job claims any writings or work that I come up with during weekdays, or on "their" equipment. Such as the Laptop I have to lease from them since they're too cheap to actually supply laptops to their employees, and presumably, anything I show to a colleague via their email system.

And yeah, that Khorne thing will sell. It's a bit early to be claiming otherwise, Kroot.

Gentlemen, here's the first miniature from Juan working for Zenit Miniatures in their Kensei line.

Wow that is slick.

Yes indeed, he looks like a very useful figure. Secret Tokugawa police, assassin, whatever you want. I've seen that archetype in so many anime. Can't wait to see more Diaz sculpting.

Fantastic work.

Well, this news has me even more interested in the Kensei offerings! They seem pricey, but if they're sculpted by someone like this, could be well worth it once they're up for normal sale.

How long did Juan Diaz yearn for sculpting a realistic miniature without skulls or headknots

He went through Detox

Looks nice! makes me think of those old samurai movies with Toshiro Mifune

To be hone4st his work was kinda hit and miss for me, but I did like the Terminator Chaplain. Hope he does well, striking out on his own.
