VAMPIRELLA painted by Paul Moore

[William Paquet]

Female sculpts are far from my strong point, but I did like this piece when I first sculpted it. However, after seeing more than a few paint jobs on her, I started to *hate* the sculpt.

*The illness of delayed self-loathing is common in art, just ask Bergholtz, Cipriano, Bruckner or any other guy in the biz.*

A collector commissioned the sickeningly talented Paul Moore to paint this piece, and he sent it to me to sign. I was completely blown away by Mr. Moore's craftsmanship. It is truly a work of beauty that he has created, making my mediocre sculpt look pretty damn sweet. Damn, that fella can paint.:thumbs2:

Paul's work is high up there IMO. I see his work & I realize how very far I still have to go.....

Me too...Irritating ain't it...?...:banghead:

[Bullseye]

Thats hands down the best Vampirella I have seen. Have you got full pics?

[Alex655321]

Nice Work !

She looks Perfect :buttrock:

[Nitefall]

Hmmm.....Mediocre sculpt??

NO WAY!!... I'm sorry. I disagree. That face is STUNNING in its beauty and perfection. That sculpt is mediocre the way Billy Gates is a pauper and Elvis never sang a song.

Furthermore HOW DARE YOU insult one of my favorite sculpters!

I demand that yuh rush to a mirror and apologize to yuhself!:DJsmile:

It's just a bust, not much more than you see here. These pix don't come close to the paint work in person. Holy crap, it's beautiful. And now I gotta ship:bawling: it to the owner...

Unless we have a mysterious break-in by a horde of Vampirella burglars.:inquisiti

[Bullseye]

Its a damn pity this was not produced. I would love to see you do a 1/4 scale maquette with the same face. Absolutely beautiful.

[Bob Aboey]

This is not a mediocre bust William. You have sculpted THE BEST Vampirella Bust I have ever seen. :buttrock:

100% agreed. Absolutely fantastic sculpt!

[William Paquet]

You can get her unpainted from Model Giants.

Here she is on my desk, Bulls. All I recall about the time I spent sculpting her, is that it was chilly in the studio.

[Vracula]

super hot!the moore's are a talented family!

[Monty Props]

Man, I've seen so many great pieces on the boards today that will probably never see the light of day. Sure I could buy the kit, but my god, my wife won't even let me paint the bathroom. Why the hell do the killer pieces never get done and so much crap gets produced? Hands down the best Vampirella bust/sculpt I've seen.

[Kirk Durfey]

Mr. Moore sure as hell can paint, thats for sure :buttrock:

I think your sculpting is top-notch on this piece as well. She is very sexy looking!

Do you have any pics of that full-size Vampirella kit, 'Curves'? One of my all-time faves :buttrock:

[nexus]

Oh... My .... GAWD!

That is a stunning paintup. Are there any other pics of this kit floating around either in its raw form or painted by someone else, I'd like to compare.

[Davidian]

I really like her face, that's bad ass Will!

[warhead]

Best Vampi bust sculpt and paintup, congrats Mr. Paquet and Mr. Paul Moore

[William Paquet]

Thanks for the kind remarks on her.

Here are a few older images of the raw sculpt in progress.

[Bullseye]

That is beautiful William. The face is just stunning. Is it based on a woman or comic art?

[William Paquet]

Her face is a composite of a few different real women I used as reference.

I reminds me of Mike Mayhews take on the character. It has a touch of Monica Bellucci to her.

Nice paint ups!
Thanks for that link!

[TNovak]

This has always been my favorite Vampirella sculpt, bar none. I have an unpainted one that I have been planning to get painted for a while now, but just haven't. This has made me start thinking about it again. :)

[wktf]
