This is a commissioned range.
Good point.
The question is whether he realized the style that his client requested.
Another good point.
Ansell is actually the most versatile sculptor I know
The blog you presented did show quite a nice flexibility.It appears I judged Ansell on those SYW sculpts and not his over all body of work which was a gross failure on my part.Thanks for showing that and enlightening me to his true capabilities.
I should modify my response to say I don\'t like the AWI approach he has been commissioned to do.
And that is a quality that the Perrys IMHO haven\'t proved yet. Well,
they didn\'t have to since they don\'t do commissions (unless you are a
Peter Jackson).
And a fantastic job they did do on the LOTR.Yes,the Perry\'s do not do commissions and so one cannot say their total range capabilities,but if their current standards are anything to go by then I wouldn\'t doubt they could exhibit the flexibility necessary to meet various styles .
