Aren't you inviting a guaranteed lawsuit by selling these?

Wow so awesome. If these were licensed I'd be all over them for my collection. I still might consider it but the price is a bit steep (for my wallet, not for the time I'm sure it took you to do these!). So awesome.

The quality of these sculptures got me thinking....

What if some game developer made the game models by sculpting and 3d scanning them, instead of modeling them in 3d. After that everything would be done normally (adding skeleton, animating the model etc)

I think it would create quite an interesting graphics style... if textured properly.

While these are amazing, its pretty bad form to come on to TL and start advertising with your first post.

I'm more than impressed.
I think you should host a tournament and the winner gets one of those. That would be the greatest tournament!

these are sooo fucking unreal bro, i would honestly recommend yuo get a huge ass loan and start making popular sculptures for billionair companies or something that suitable. make millions being an artist, not 50 bucks off of the internett cmon be greedy or stay broke, you gotta be greedy(aka cant take no for an answer, push hard, be an ass to get rich). after you get rich you can be nice again tho. <3 haha

make lifesized sculptures for celebrity parties or w.e like, theres always a rich fucker looking for shit for his themed party, and you cna make just about anything apparently, so try it out. unless im talking for nothing and that is already in progress.

Holy check these are beautiful. Makes me wish I had some kind of artistic ability lol. You have any desire to work for Blizzard? Because I bet they'd love you :D

The sad thing is they lose customers, revenue, reputation, money, competency, respect and more.

Still they continue to do things like this. I would accept some of it since they are large but lately it seems they are going down the greedy path and soon nobody will be fans of blizzard.

Like really, to watch your OWN expo where you showcase your products we should pay? Really, you want to downgrade battle.net so that you hae more control. Really these are good choices??? Where is your intelligent marketing experts? Where is the boss, what is he saying to make these things go through? Idiots really.

See, Artistic is totally right. If he were sharing, or giving them away for tournaments or just out of drawings, that's fine, but profit means they are not getting paid for their intellectual property (IP).

I understand the rules they put forth here, but the OP put a lot of his own free time into making those things and giving them away would effectively be a waste of his time. Where is the motivation to create these sculptures if he could be spending his time doing other things, making money in other ways or playing video games?

Blizzard just doesn't want anybody to have monetary incentive to create completely artistic expressions based on their intellectual property. They are effectively saying "Don't spend your time showing passion for our games in completely artistic ways unless you're going to keep it to yourself or give it away for free."

I could understand if he was selling bootleg copies of their games, you know, the stuff they created that actually has any value. But this is just harmless.

I don't particularly care either way, I just wish the OP would re-upload those images because I never got to see them.

Dude, the OP is not just making sculptures and showing them to us, he is selling them. Of course you need a license if you want to make a profit of Blizzard's IP... it's not idiocy, it's how the world works. I'm sure that if the OP was just sharing the pictures with us and not offering them for sale, Blizzard wouldn't care. I also don't see what Blizzcon has to do with this.

Guys please try to look at it from multiple perspectives. The way Blizzard thinks is that if they allow this then the next person who does it but sells 5 items instead of 1 will refer to this and say why did you allow it there. If they allow that guy then the next person will be selling 20 and refer to the person selling 5. In the end a clear rule such as you are not allowed to make profit off their design does make sense when you run such a large company.

If they went on a case by case basis with no further influence on other things I am sure Blizzard too would have liked to allow this.

Sad nonetheless

Unless blizzard themselves are selling the same product... what do they care? :D

yes i agree that it was wrong of me to sell these without paying some kind of loyalty to blizz. i would feel bad if somone did the same to my ideas. however i am trying to contact blizz to get a license to continue making these they just arent responding in any way. i would do whatever it took to keep making these for the community but unless i can sell them i wont have the time to do them(i was able to make sculpts full time when i could sell them) now i have to work a job. so if anyone out there can help me out in getting a license to create these than thank you very much email me at cnotbusch@gmail.com also you can still look at the images of my work on my website www.notbuschmodeling.com and thank you all for caring. until then i am working on a few of my own ideas and i will see if that works out if not i am still in school studying to be a 3d computer designer who knows maybe i can work for blizzard some day!
