Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 04/25/24 Mushroom & Mini-Me Mushroom Done!

Still one of my favourite threads - love the recent updates DeafNala, truely inspiring.

I am ok with the idea of goblins trapping and trafficking bottled faeries... but a Goblin Faerie (or Faerie Goblin?) is a little bit disturbing even for my quite insane mind...  

The VERY BEST thread in LAF, IMHO!

For the goblin faeries, perhaps having them leaping from the mushrooms if you're still thinking about how to position them...

Thanks for the kind reply, von Lucky. I'm glad you are enjoying the latest additions & the rest of the thread as well. 
Providing inspiration is quite a compliment.

AND thank you for your enthusiastic reply, dino. The Flying Goblin Lads do blow some preconceived notions about Faeries.
I am delighted you like the stuff...the ongoing support is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, SotF. Both the Goblins are positioned such that a leap off a Mushroom would look good. Bending the wire forward would help keep them from swinging around as well. One will leap & the other hover...of course, there may be more.

I had the same type of problem with some conversions I did a long while back using the Mantic Ghouls (with a few zombie bits if I remember right) mixed with the Reaper Dragon Man conversion pieces. It's tricky to come up with a good pose that's also stable for winged humanoids that aren't just standing there.

I've had a couple of flying pieces that after awhile the glue holding the wire to the base dries & the spins around when moved...on one or two the effect was funny enough to let them stay that way.

I'm taking photos of the Witches' Isles (of Langerhans) today. SO there will be a Grand Tour eventually.



...sneak peek.

AND here are the Faerie Folk in base colors:

 
...I roughed up the bows for a wood grain effect:

 


... I did a size comparison with Hoggle, the Faerie Slayer. I hate not using pic; SO:


...today I'm of the see if my Cochlear Implant is working. See you on the manana!

AND then there were four:

 

 

 
...all together:

 

 
...who knows what I'll do with the rest of the wings?...The Shadow do.

[SotF]

Perhaps some other goblin faeries...some with blades that could dart in and around like the demented murder fairies they are...

[von Lucky]

Angels!

...that is a possibility. I was also thinking of doing a undead, revenant type Faerie.
Thanks for the reply & the idea, SotF!

Angels!

...which reminds me, Reaper has a pack of Angel Wings (sans the Hot Sauce). I'll have to investigate that one as well...my savings account was getting too smug.
Thanks, von Lucky!

Just the sort of chaps to take your teeth (before they've fallen out) without so much as a by your leave let alone leaving a coin under your pillow.

Top work, keep it up.

...they've been calling it "preventive dentistry"; re, no teeth prevents dentist visits.
They probably leave a bill for their services...I wonder if they know The Donald.

Thanks for the reply, Citizen Sade. If the Lads are stimulating stories, I've succeeded in my work. I'm glad you like them.

[FramFramson]

Perhaps cherubs, rather than angels! 

[DeafNala]

Perhaps cherubs, rather than angels! 

Considering there environment, the Cherubs would be more like winged streakers.
Thanks for the feedback, Fram.
