Rufferto Statue 2024
rom the cover of Sergio Aragones’ Groo The Wanderer #45 comes Rufferto. I used the model from the animation that I made with some modifications. The finished one is the smaller version. The larger one is complete as far as the paint but I had to find cording that would be the right scale to string up the swords. I must mention that I am not allowed to sell these as that would go against the copyright.
I made a Rufferto model years ago when I was still using Lightwave. I intended to create n animation but I ended up shelving the project in favor of other work.
I heard about Josh Jones and his Did I Err Productions and I tried to contact him to see if I could possibly work on it but ultimately I couldn’t get a reply.
I created a Rufferto Christmas card in hopes of getting his attention. Ultimately I was hampered by time constraints and hardware limitations. So the video had a few flaws in it. Recently I had more time so I was able to address some of these flaws and re-render without the Christmas flair.
The animation is based on the back cover of issue 87 of Marvel’s Sergio Aragonés Groo: the Wanderer.
