Blind Io Gazes Into Micro Art’s Discworld
February 3, 2018 by thisisazrael
Sculptor Piotr Kupper has sculpted another of the Discworld deities coming to Micro Art. This time it is none other than the king of the gods; Blind Io.
Blind Io is the Discworld god of thunder (in fact, he's all of its gods of thunder. He wears different wigs). He reigns over the other gods from their home in Dunmanifestin, seeing everything through the hundreds of eyes that float around him.
He used to use ravens to tell him what was happening in the world, but well, with all those eyeballs, accident waiting to happen really.
Piotr has done a superb job at sculpting this deity, right down to the skull dice box he carries. I wonder if the set would include a bunch of free-floating eyes to complete the image.
Would you bow before Blind Io?

Rather so. I also bow before Pjotr. “Io” comes from the greek mythology and Pjotr has captured the feeling of this extraordinarily well. Maybe he should have a go at sculpting a command group of some of the ancient factions like Greeks, Spartans, Romans. I´m sure he´ll be successful.
As for bowing before blind people. It´s always better to, just in case. Remember Blind Pew. At first he seemed helpless, but what a helluva villain he was. And in dark rooms blind people always have an advantage. Nothing changes for them …
Great looking figure.
