GRIM REAPER...MY FAVORITE ONE ;)

[martin canale]

It Was My Favorite Sideshow Project so Far, A Very Special and Creative Project for All Those Who Was involved in, From Tom Gilliland, the Main Man on this Piece, who Bring from his Own, Darker and deeper dreams, the conception of this Version of the DEATH. Scott Klauder Sideshow Team Did an Awesome, Awesome Job !!
And From our Lands, The Great Illustrator Santiago Carusso ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Santiago-CARUSO/200373558474 ) who translate from 3 Dimension to 2D in his Own and Unique Style, And of course I get the Support and assistance of Guillermo Barbiero, Martin Demonte y Hernán Azcárate.

Well that´s all for now, Soon more images.
Thanks for your time.

[Darknight]

Thanks for sharing. I have found a whole new appreciation of the details in the sculpt and the hard work that went into creating this. Saw this in person at the Con and was blown away. Very very well done. Its brilliant.

[azurepred]

do you have pics of the switch out head for this Martin? I'm glad to see SS decided to finally use one of your alternate sculpts, unlike cough cough Wolverine. Do you know why SS decided to add an addition size to this piece?

[DynamicMenace]

wow Martin, loved all the images of showing all the detail put into this piece. i can see why it was your favorite one. a true masterpiece sculpted by a true master of his craft.

[greenzombie]

Holy poop on a stick...

Now THAT'S a badass Grim Reaper! o_O

I don't have words to describe the awesomeness of this piece, especially by the fact it was totally created traditionally. Nothing, can beat you guys! That's truly inspirational.

[Atheris]

Cant wait for this piece!

wow..i love these wip pics..the detail just pop out at ya. the more i see i more i want this..lol

[dechirico7]

Some crazy detail in this piece. Hopefully none of it is lost in production. The WIP really let you see the amount of work that was put into this piece. I think quite of a bit of it is lost in Sideshow's pics, like usual.

[Atheris]

I agree, I didn't even see the spines in his back in SS's promo pics. What a cool touch, and seeing these wip pics Im shocked at all the extra detail I didn't notice initially. When I get this piece in hand I'll be staring at it for days!

wow thats unreal..i know first hand working with that stuff can be dificult because it sets up in a couple of hrs..not sure if you have done this, but it would be pretty cool to see you sculpt with Aves in a time lapsed video..now that would be awesome to see.:buttrock:
love your work brother

[SkyPirate82]

Loving the WIP photos. The Reaper is a masterpiece, no doubt about it. If I can find the funds next year then I'm definitely picking one up.

Fantastic work as always, Mr. Canale. :thumbs2:

[Atheris]

I keep coming back here to look at these photos because I'm so anxious for this piece to arrive. It was suppose to ship this month and then I get an email a couple days ago that it's delayed until May. Dam....it was so close. At least it's only one month and not 2 or 3.

Chris

[AllThatExist666]

What an amazing piece of art work , just get a more appreciation of the work
That goes into the piece by seeing all the wip pictures.

[madagat]

wow I'm so glad I ordered this one

[Batstat73]

I finally clicked the purchase button today, thanks to my wife. I have coveted this piece since first sight. Without a doubt this will be the masterpiece of my collection, nothing comes close. Thanks again Martin and your impressively sick group of sculptors and artists. You have my utmost respect, Thank You for your work ladies and gentlemen.

[Batstat73]

My Reaper just arrived today. I was floored! To the design team at SSC, Mr. Canale and the entire team at Gore Group, thank you! No other statue in my collection comes close to the level of detail that you folks packed into this one statue, albeit an incredibly large and evil statue.:buttrock:

I won't be the last one to say this, THANK YOU for all of your hard work!!! This guy could not have been easy, a true labor of love. :buttrock:
