images of very twisted ballerinas putting on a a fungal ballet, stuck in my mind now.

Ah yes - 'Shroom Lake.

That is exactly what I was trying for; i.e., the hippo ballerinas from Fantasia.

Ah yes - 'Shroom Lake.

You got it!

I added five new Sidekick  Toadstool Mushrooms to The Box. I have two Mushroom Enchantresses to finish then on to the basing








More whenever!

[Basementboy]

Hell yeah! They look very impressive all together... not to mention trippy! Love the world you've constructed here.

Thanks for the positive reply, Basementboy! There are times that I could imaging Timothy O'Leary settling down here.

[DeafNala]

The Mushroom Enchantresses, the last of this batch, are done & ready for basing.




With a close up of the Girls:




The next pics should be the based Mushrooms, possibly on the stage.

Wonderfully vibrant work.  Looking forward to their stage entrance.

Thanks for the reply, syrinx0. I am happy you like my bright colors, I also am looking forward to seeing the based up & on the stage.

[DintheDin]

They are a gorgeous lot, eager to see them based and on the stage! Cheers!

[Spinal Tap]

Magical as always.

[Battle Brush Sigur]

Magical as always.

That hits the nail on the head. This is the thread I people refer to if they ask me which fantasy projects I find impressive.

Imagine opening the box and having all these faces look at you!

[Basementboy]

I'll third the "magical" descriptor! This project is just so wonderfully unique, truly inspirational.

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you liked them. Taking the photos is the high point of the process for me also.

Magical as always.

Thanks for the very kind comment, Spinal Tap. I am delighted you see my stuff in this light. I am trying for the magical whimsy of folklore. It is wonderful to know that I have succeeded to an extent.

That was kind of you to say, Battle Brush Sigur. Referrals are a high form of compliments.
When I first started posting pics of my Mushrooms, I had a few people comment that they, the Mushroom that is, gave them nightmares. Opening a box to have a horde of them looking back at you would probably send those folk screaming into the night.

Thanks once more for the magical description, Basementboy! You & the othe commentors have made my day!

[FramFramson]

Fantastic work as always - definitely can't wait to see the basing!

[DeafNala]

Thanks, Fram...glad you like it/them/whatever. The basing is coming along more slowly than anticipated. It is suffering from the "getting-carried-away-with-things" factor; i.e., I was short one or maybe two prepped 60mm bases. SO I figured I'd just knock out the needed bases & carry on. Then I figured, while I was at it, doing a couple extra might be a good idea. "A couple" turned into fifteen:




This one reason why everything takes longer than you would imagine...sigh.
