And Harrek. Really remarkable talent on display, amazing. Edit: Love the use of lego as mold-form. My absolute favorite is Jar-eel vs Harrek, her pose vs his pose says everything about each of them.

Marc22 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Amazing work. I asked Eric Vanel about the opportunity to buy this bronze, and he was kind enough to create an original copy (I learned in the process that he has very few of them available for sale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian McReynolds Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Stunned by this awesome piece of art! Just like Annstad, once I saw the Razoress, I was smitten! This is a beautiful sculpture. Bravo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Chaosium congratulates sculptor Eric Vanel! His depiction of Gloranthan heroine Jar-eel the Razoress, cast in bronze in the 'heroic nude' style of classical antiquity, has been selected for the Salon des Artistes Français 2021. The Salon was established by King Louis XIV in 1667, with the Société des Artistes Français holding annual exhibitions since 1881. This year's exhibition in Paris has been cancelled due to the pandemic, but you can find Jar Eel among many artworks of very talented artists in the virtual exhibition here: https://www.artistes-francais.com/catalogue-salon/ Edited February 13, 2021 by MOB 11 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styopa Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Congratulations. Art for the ages. The expression on her face is beautifully subtle, really a magnificent piece that has IMO graduated from "game inspired art" to really just pure "art". Thank you for the beautiful work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Lord Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Éric is great, he's a lovely guy, and it was a privilege when he came to do some illustration work for us over at French fanzine Les Érudits de l'Ambigu. A shame that the amazing design work he had started for the unpublished fourth issue will never see light of printed paper, it would have been a beautiful issue just design-wise. This was our projected cover design : (sorry about the artefacts from the incorrect fonts in this jpeg) 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
