Jen - Harvester of Souls

From time to time I like to honor the talented folks I have the privilege to collaborate with by immortalizing them (or their pets) in pewter and making them part of the Dark Sword line. I typically do this for anniversary pieces. But then I got thinking...there are so many talented folks and strong allies of Dark Sword out there that doing one a year will take a long time. So I have joined forces with famed Reaper concept artist TALIN and started getting these talented folks that I am a big admirer of drawn up for sculpting by the very talented Mr. Jeff Grace. We sit down and determine what iconic character class they would like to be based on their personalities and move forward from there. Next up was Jen Haley. Jen Haley was the second painter I contacted when I started Dark Sword Miniatures up back in 2002 (the first was Matt Sturm of Ral Partha fame who was retired from painting). She shot me down in quick order but was somewhat nice about it. Years later, after Dark Sword had proven itself to not be some pipe dream by a crazed miniature collector that never delivers on anything, Jen surfaced and was interested in painting up some Dark Sword pieces if there was anything we wanted to send her way. I of course jumped at the chance and there are a good amount of amazing Jen Haley studio models in the Dark Sword collection. Jen has a fun dark streak in her as well so she wanted to be a Necromancer with an undead kitty cat. It was determined that TALIN artwork matches up with Jeff's sculpting style very well so Jeff has done the first four pieces and will most likely do the bulk of this tribute range of premium miniatures.
