I was wondering, as I have stumbled across a couple of you, who here makes and sells or would sell Chaos dwarf models that they have sculpted?
Is there a section on this website that has a page that shows all the people that make and sell Chaos dwarfs?
I cant seem to find one.
Maybe one should be added with a list of people and there websites.
I think this would maybe help some of the new players interested in chaos dwarfs building up an army and some of the existing players adding character to there armies.
I do a fair few green stuff sculpts of characters and leaders, some also ask for whole units converted up. Been doing it for a few years now, have made everything from undead to lizardmen. Mostly its single models, all green stuff. PM me if you want anything in particular.
Am also looking at casting up some of my own figures, all sculpted so the copyright is firmly mine. Obviously they will be quite different to GW’s, but usable in games nonetheless.
A page with people available for commissions sounds like a nice idea (at least to me :)).
the mutant dwarves which i might incorporate into my army, and most definetely the twisted tales dwarves of myth are almost marauder reproductions, once i get the cash i will simply have to purchase the dwarves of myth… one even has a blunderbuss
The way in which copyright protection is secured is frequently misunderstood. Copyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is “created” when it is fixed in a tangible form, such as the first time it is written or recorded. Neither publication, registration or other action in the Copyright Office is required to secure copyright, although registration is recommended.
The use of a copyright notice is no longer required under U.S. law, although it is often beneficial. This requirement was eliminated when the United States adhered to the Berne Convention, effective March 1, 1989 . Should the copyright holder elect to utilize a copyright notice, he/she may do so freely without permission from or registration with, the U.S. Copyright Office. In fact, the use of a copyright notice is recommended as it reminds the public that the work is protected by copyright.
ok evryone listen,we are all right in a sense, in order to protect your copyright, say someone steals your idea, and you want to sue them for taking your copyright idea… your going to need to prove that it was originally your idea…thus, as mentioned above, “In fact, the use of a copyright notice is recommended as it reminds the public that the work is protected by copyright.”
I’m an illustrator and I can assure you, the copyright on anything you create is automatically yours unless you sign it away (copyright and patents act 1988 I believe.) I also get the impression copyright is a bit shakier in the US than in the UK where I am.
To be honest copyright disputes rarely seem to be hard fought, (at least in the industries where I work). The company I work for make a killing out of tracking down people who have used their images without permission and suing them. You can apply for proof of copyright, buts thats mainly to establish a record of the date. Owning the original is enough unless there is some kind of other contracts involved (this is why Illustrators should never hand over originals).
www.calibancomics.com is my website, but its all illustration for the moment. I’m working on a range of miniatures with the intent of setting up a small company but this won’t be for a while.
Hey Baggronor, I actually recognize some of the comic work shown there! I think my comic artist mate from a while back might have shown them to me once…
