Joe Orteza


Joe Orteza’s entry for GD: Chicago 2006 was this fantastic Skaven Lord he sculpted himself. The base is a 40mm UniPlinth made of Gabon (Black) Ebony, and laser-engraved with the character’s name and clan symbols. Joe painted in the laser-engraving.

that is really neat you got a contract with that artist. a good feather in your cap to have your base displayed at that show.
I didn’t know there were artists who work that small with so much detail; I am sure the pieces take months to sculpt. guess they are working with some type of poly clay, able to hold that intrigue detail
the designs must be characters from computer games or actual games.
anyway, hats off to you.
I just finised the Fremont art and wine show last weekend and had a terrific show.
take care
