Traditional Sculpting with The Shiflett Brothers

Brandon & Jarrod Shiflett

The work of the Shiflett Brothers sits in video game design firms, special effects houses, and art departments across several industries, as well as the personal collections of film directors Peter Jackson and Robert Rodriguez, and Weta Workshop founder Sir Richard Taylor.

Their sculptures have been featured in books and magazines worldwide, including in six separate volumes of the annual book Spectrum: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art. They have created sculpting process demonstration articles for the likes of ImagineFX, Heavy Metal, and Amazing Figure Modeler Magazines.

Brandon and Jarrod taught a Master Class on Sculpting for the Comic Book Industry at The Gnomon Workshop in Hollywood, California, and then created an Instructional Sculpting DVD, produced and released by Gnomon, entitled "Fantasy Sculpting: The Dragon of Argos." They were honored to sit on the jury for Spectrum 18: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art and were blown away a couple of years later when they received the Gold Award in Dimensional Work for Spectrum 21.

The Brothers have for years hosted, in one form or another, The Shiflett Brothers Sculpting Forum which now boasts over 30K members and features both pro and amateur sculptors, sculpting contests, and live streams of work by industry superstars.

From their work on iconic Marvel superheroes to their original character concept pieces produced under the banner of Shiflett Brothers Originals, Brandon and Jarrod continue to love what they do: celebrating science fiction, fantasy, and comic books through sculpture.
