I know, I know, I'm supposed to be working on the elf. I've been a complete spaz since we've moved and haven't really settled into a consistent project groove yet. I started these French staff officers before the move, and I just realized I was really almost done with them, so why not finish them off. The chance to have something completed was too strong, I had to take it. Now all I need is for the putty to dry, and they'll be on their way out the door shortly there after.

Costochondritis is pretty much destroying my productivity of late. . . and driving me f'ing nuts. I managed to get a little work done on the stag though, and have the rider ready to go too.

I wasn't sure how the fur and hide pallette was going to come together, but I'm happy with how this is working out. I'm managing to find good contrasts while still keeping the overall effect very muted and staying away from highlighting to white which would be absurd here.

I'm doing this conversion for a friend's wood elf lord. The figure he wants mounted on it is a bit big on the backend- sculpted to fit a taller/wider mount, so his flowing robes etc would leave a couple glaring millimeters space twixt his cape and his mount. So, this stag gets filled out with taller fur, and a section of saddle to make up the difference. The elf lord will be GW. The stag is from Chronopia.

These are for the Frothers game at Salute09.
