That's very nice indeed  :-* :-*

Is this to be a one off or the possible start of a range?

cheers

He looks pretty darned cool; I like the tadpole on his(?) shield. From my strange perspective, about the only thing I'd do differently is perhaps to give him(?) larger feet. That aside, GREAT WORK!

Oh yeah - hop-lite  lol

Great little mini there - hope there's more to come.

How about some Squirmishers armed with blowpipes next?

I highly approve.

Looks cool! I would give him some nostrils though.

Also, I would do a lily pad on his shield rather than a sper... I mean Tadpole!

Agree with both of the above....and I love him.  A unit of these would look VERY cool!

Or a tongue and fly motif

Fantastic! It's very smooth and frog-like! I wish I could sculpt like that.

Awesome, now add a few different poses and I'll happily add them to my project :)

Title: Re: Frog Warrior / Spearman
Post by: DS615 on September 27, 2012, 06:23:58 PM

It looks cool, but I agree the tadpole is odd.
That would be the equivalent of a human with a baby on the shield, and that's weird.

Title: Re: Frog Warrior / Spearman
Post by: redshadows on September 27, 2012, 06:49:59 PM

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I really enjoyed working on this piece  :)

I forgot about the nostrils  lol, I will sort that out and the shield is separate so I Could easily change it.

it was just going to be a one off piece but, Someone might be picking this piece up for production, so they may be a chance of different posses being sculpted.

I'll keep you updated

Thanks
George

Not my thing
But me likey!
Keep us posted if someone picks it up.

I'd like to see an "assassin" style  frog. Very croak and dagger  lol

Nice sculpting, but I think the idea of a different shield like a lily pad would be more appropriate.

Feet could  be bigger for a frog and I think the loin cloth is a bit too much like a nappy for my ideal.

Post by: Andrew May on September 28, 2012, 10:53:56 PM

Do a fly icon shield. :D

I would really like to see more of these. It's a lovely, simple piece. :)

Very fun & characterful- hopefully that will become a range, I could easily see myself picking those up  :)

Title: Re: Frog Warrior / Spearman
Post by: Henrix on September 29, 2012, 12:09:47 AM

A very nice figure!

But keep the tadpole! It's so wonderfully weird.
Clearly a holy symbol among the marsh-states, a sign of strength showing their dominance over the meek lilies and flies.

Each clan has its own shield design... Problem solved  :D

I'm completely in love with the tadpole shield.

Brilliant figure mate!
Love the concept and the execution. Would happily pick these up if you turned it into a fleshed out line.

Cheers,
Ben.

Hi Everyone

Good news, It looks like someone has picked this piece up for production and he should be available soon  :).

I've also been asked to do two more for now and maybe a full range in the future.

Thanks again for the feedback  :)

Post by: Lovejoy on October 10, 2012, 03:33:35 PM

I like it, but I don't think this one is going as well as the other, it just doesn't look as 'froggy' as the first one... I think it's the mouth? Maybe too short and turns down to far...

Title: Re: Frog wth dagger *New one added*
Post by: rob_alderman on October 10, 2012, 03:45:56 PM

I think it might need 'fleshing out' on the bottom jaw. Perhaps it is too 'long'...
Lovely pose, would be nice to see more spearmen though. :)

Going to be doing some more spearmen soon  :)

How do these feet look?

I can easily change them  :?

Post by: SBRPearce on October 11, 2012, 02:16:48 PM

Personally, I'd thin the dagger blade down a bit. Something that big might work as a slashing weapon, but he's got it gripped for stabbing, and it's so wide that it would get wedged before penetrating too far...

Or maybe I'm over-thinking this a little bit... :)

Title: Re: Frog wth dagger *New one added*
Post by: rob_alderman on October 11, 2012, 04:45:34 PM

I think that's overthinking it a bit.

In my mind, something that big looks right for the scale and would cast really well and solidly.

Good work, it's looking great and I would love to see a guide on how to sculpt those feet! Fantastic!

Title: Re: Frog wth dagger *New one added*
Post by: Conquistador on October 11, 2012, 10:01:13 PM

Nice "ninja" frog.  (Spelling "as..." is a challenge, thank you Los Angeles elementary education)

Yes to more Spearmen, perhaps some nice javelin armed skirmishers?

Some lurkers with just head/eyes showing above water line.  Okay, okay, got cared away there...

Gracias,

Glenn

 Picked these little fellas up from George today.Great little pieces.More to come with other weapons too.Probably looking at the New Year for the release.That gives plenty of time to get a good selection ready.

Title: Re: Frog wth dagger *New one added*
Post by: Andrew May on October 13, 2012, 11:25:18 PM

Glad to see you've picked these up, Andy.
Nice work George!

Title: Re: Frog wth dagger *New one added*
Post by: Michka on October 14, 2012, 02:51:12 AM

These two minis look great. The feet really work nicely. Would these be standing on slotta tabs or an integral base? I realize it's probably too soon to know, but I had to ask.

Title: Re: Frog wth dagger *New one added*
Post by: Thantsants on October 14, 2012, 03:43:39 AM

Ah dammit - you're going to have me buying frogs as well as Goblins off you now Andy!   >:( lol

Very nice by the way George - more spears and blowpipes please. Aztec weaponry too perhaps  ;)
