I just saw the website. Welcome Santiago! And welcome Alma too!
You see, a fifty copies batch and a €30 price indicates three things:
First, the break even from invested time is far from being reached. Second, indirectly it indicates also how small our community is. But third - collectors have here a nice pick - A first figure from a new brand and produced in so small numbers can have a value potential, specially if Alma will triumph as a name in a future near by.
The figure itself seems extremely well produced. I just would like to empathize the hunchback look of this elder noble, capturing perfectly the overweight caused by the fur he had to wear in the grim Iceland climate: This drama component really highlights this piece several steps away from the average 1/12 busts we normally see: We figure painters, use body language to express humanity like no one else in scale modelling and this bust, while it is strongly simple, has a great "
wow" potential thanks to this articulation between art and context.
As a collector myself, this is definitely a purchase. I sincerely hope, Santiago, this miniature will become an instant sold out to demonstrate you the proof of concept: This is a small market, nevertheless, strongly competitive. If you are talented enough to maximize drama attitude in the small scale, and relatively inexpensive, bust scene I can predict a nice future to you - and fortunately production batches higher than 50 copies.
In the meantime, I sincerely hope collectors reading this lines will make a sell off of this miniature - come on guys, 30€ is nothing! Lets make this miniature sold out as quickly as possible! It's good to both parties: The collectors and the newcomer - Welcome Alma: All the best wishes to you!
