Marike - Guardian of the Sea

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. First up was Marike Reimer. Marike and I have been working together for many years now and I have nothing but total respect for her and her craft. Marike loves creepy crawly bugs and things from the ocean. So she wanted to be a Sea Sorceress. 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.
