F&IW things to come

[Galloping Major]

The Preacher/Parson from the Settlers Defending Command & Characters pack, the original rough concept sketch I made showed him with pince-nez specs, but while sculpting the face, I decided the figure really didn't need them as he worked very well without them for the sort of character I wanted, so I left them off 



That makes 4 of the characters sketched for the pack already on the website, the other 2 are all but complete, so I'll photograph them and get the pics up on here very soon.

Another outstanding character for  a  '18th C. Horror' game -if located in a Protestant country, but not specifically of 'Colonial Gothic' / 'A Devil in Jersey' nature, it could equally be set in Reformed Europe.

Edit: 18th C. 'socializing' Catholic priests did not wear their cassock, but dressed in black 'secular' clothes; their only distinguishing features were the (black pipped white) priestly collar and a tiny calotte over their tonsure:

If some priests dressed so to enter the wittiness contests of fashionable salons, one can suppose a priestley  field operative (a jesuit of the C.R.O.C.? A Papal Assassin of Iscariota - not as comely as this one?) would wear such practical clothes when 'evil hunting'. Thus Galloping Major's Preacher, painted with a black (pipped white) collar, becomes a 'combat priest' (in Gévaudan, maybe, or in Nouvelle France?). Most of the 'armed settlers' would also fit perfectly.

Reminds me of this guy  

You're right Iain, except my chap has a better fitting hat  
Not sue where your picture comes from, but I'm guessing "The Patriot"? If I'd had that pic, it would certainly have gone into my reference file.
I wanted my chap to have the feel of an archetypal 18th century parson, and one who wasn't afraid to give the Lord some hands-on assistance  

Cheers,
Lance

Message seems to have repeated, cleared the second one.
I'll try to post the pics of the other 2 chaps before the weekend.

Yes it was the Minister from The Patriot. I could see him as a Protestant Van Helsing haha.

Here are the last 2 of the 6 characters for the Settlers Defending Command & Characters pack, as promised. The lower of the two I think of as my Innkeeper, but wearing his tradesman's apron with the 'bib' buttoned to his waistcoat in classic 18th century style, he could easily be a merchant or craftsman of any sort.
