Epic Gamer of the Month: Sanyaca

Sanyaca deviantARTThis month, we recognize Chilean sculptor and artist, Alvaro “Sanyaca” Stuardo as the Epic Gamer of the Month. Alvaro’s sculptures are truly amazing. He excels at capturing his subject’s personality and  his attention to detail is nothing short of incredible. It’s hard to believe he’s only been sculpting for a little over a year. His sculptures are made from a mixture of epoxy, Sculpey and Sculpey Firm. You can see more of Alvaro’s work on his deviantART page or the Epic Gamers forum.

Thrashball ColeTo show our appreciation, we thought it would be appropriate to send Alvaro a Thrashball Cole Statue. We’ll also be sending four Gears of War art books for inspiration, a Gears of War graphic novel based on the comics and a Gears of War 3 Limited Edition signed by developers at Epic Games.

If you would like to see your content posted on our community site, Facebook page and twitter, check out the Epic Gamers forum. Who knows, you could be our next Epic Gamer of the month! There you can post your tutorial videos, cosplays, fan art and fiction, anything you would like to share with the community. For more information, check out this welcome post.

Thank you for sharing your work with us Alvaro!!

More Art from Alvaro “Sanyaca” Stuardo

myrrah_unfinish_by_sanyacaLast February, Tim from Team Epic Gamers posted an interview with deviantARTist Alvaro “Sanyaca” Stuardo. Since that time, Alvaro has been busy with even more amazing sculptures and artwork! He was introduced to the Gears of War series by a friend, and immediately bought himself an Xbox 360 and the game.

The tools Alvaro needs to sculpt are very difficult to obtain in his hometown in Chile, but his girlfriend went online and bought him more than enough tools to create these amazing works of art.

We’re looking forward to seeing the finished sculptures and other art Alvaro creates. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on his progress! Don’t forget to check out his deviantART page or the Epic Gamers forum to see more of his work. And remember, if you have awesome work to share, tell us! Head on over to the Epic Gamers forum, or let us know at the Epic Gamers group on deviantART.

Epic Gamer Artist: Sculptures by Sanyaca

Hey guys! Tim here from the Team Epic Gamers, and I’m back with a special interview on my Epic Gamer Artist weekly series. I sit down with Alvaro from Chile, who caught the attention of Gears of War fans with his incredible sculptures. He has gone through a lot to express what he loves about Gears, and it pays off. Say hello to Alvaro!

arukun14: Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Sanyaca deviantARTSanyaca: My name is Alvaro Stuardo. I’m 28, I’m a law student and I really love everything related to art. I try my best to find all the materials to create art because it’s really, really hard to find them here where I live (Iquique, Chile). I’m an Internet fan, and all the techniques I’ve learned from it I practice and I’m still learning from it.

I’m a Gears of War fan not only for the amazing videogame series, but for the appreciation of its exceptional art concept and graphics, inspiring me to start sculpting.

A: How long have you been a fan of the Gears of War series?

Sanyaca deviantARTS: I’ve been a fan for three years. I went to a friend’s house and he introduced me to Gears of War 2. After that I bought an Xbox 360 and the game.

A: You’ve gotten the community’s attention by showing us your sculptures. Could you tell us a little bit about them?

S: I’ve been sculpting for about a year give or take, and the first thing I wanted to sculpt was a Gears of War character. Once I could make it, the only thing a wanted was to show it to other fans and what better place to show them: in the Epic forums.

A: Do you usually draw a concept before sculpting, or do you jump right in? Could you share a little bit of your thought process?

S: I jump right in. The first thing I do is to find lots of pictures from the Internet to be able to see all the character’s details, and after that I make a metal structure covered with foil paper and sometimes epoxy clay. Finally, I just go into sculpting it.
