Kulls base what do ya think

[kaza5555]

Most people would think this is Conan, so a nameplate makes sense.

man, that's a tough comment. i look at clay's work and i see fine art, not just a sculpt. my guess is that you haven't read the blog to understand why the base is so, what it represents and the importance to each piece that is there. the pieces are an important part of kull. check out the blog, read it and maybe you'll appreciate it a bit more. don't get me wrong, only because i like it (i've seen it in person), doesn't mean that everyone has to like it but i do know that understanding why it is so, helps.

i'm not a fan on nameplates as well but on specific pieces i think they fit well. when you're doing an iron man sculpt, i don't think it needs a nameplate. when you are doing artistic pieces, it defines a piece. fine art pieces are known to have nameplates and as do barbaric sculpts. one of the reasons is because it exemplifies their status of power and also defines who they are. also like kaza said, fans that don't know could think it's a conan.

I think I'm buying all sculpts Clay.

Am I the only one that...likes the base? It's more stoic, and powerful, a graceful Kull, over a very barbaric look Conan usually has. I think it's a nice portrayal with memories littered about his feet. I like the nameplate cause most ppl wouldn't know who he is anyways. I could go either way. I'm getting this asap.

i did read it and your right it does make sense,however i made that comment after looking at the base ,i still feel its looks cluttered, maybe i was envisioning the base differently thats why i was taken aback when i saw so much on it,but either way im still buying it ,im sure ill take my comment back when its all painted but thats what popped in my head when i saw it first
either way im going to own that

The base may look less cluttered when everyhing isn't the same color as the contrasts might create a sense of more space. Just a thought.

I love the look of the sculpt beyond all reason, but I unfortunately don't like
the base at all. It does look too cluttered, and it just seems to take away
from the overall impact of the statue for me.

Nameplates have never been a favoriite of mine either, and I'd love to see
that gone as well. I know Kull may not be as well known or recognizable as
Conan, but the big old KULL on the front again seems to detract from the piece.

If it had just the simple rock topped base, I'd like that a lot better.

Simpler would be better IMHO.

Is this the only picture of the base?

I don't worry about how much stuff he has on the base... and if this is the only pic then it's probably not a completely fair representation of what we'll see...


Clay has the magic touch and you just can't judge the final outcome from this pic...

Agreed. I've never read Kabuki, Witchblade or know anything about Magdalena or Apphrodite IX but I picked up/ordered the sculpts anyway on the basis of art. And I'll be picking up Kull too. Although part of me wants Clay to slow down so my money will stay in my bank account longer.
