Moderator Froggy the Great Posted March 18, 2005 Moderator Share Posted March 18, 2005 Well, the names have been posted for Chick Challenge V, so I can post this now: Faerie Princess Roseblade Moonscar The fair and lovely Princess Roseblade Moonscar is the daughter of the Good King Hairytop Silvertwig, king of the Sunblush Fairy Court. She lived a sheltered, lavish life, receiving any gift she wanted and wore only the finest of clothes. She was never allowed outside into the "real world". One night during a party hosted by her father, Roseblade came upon Prince Needle Moonscar who came disguised as a servant of one of the visiting guests. The Prince seduced the princess, and had her carried off to the Moonscar Court. There the prince laid a geas that would forever bind the Princess to the lands that are controlled by the Moonscar Court. She is unable to leave except on the three nights of a full moon. The Princess went mad and killed the Prince and most of his family. The effectiveness with which she did so surprised everyone in the Moonscar Court, and they proclaimed her their new leader just to stay alive. The survivors of the Moonscar Clan now view her as something with great potential, so all the Moonscar men compete for Roseblade's attentions. As she now has no way to break the geas, she now fights an expansionist war every month during the three nights of the full moon, and the other Barons of the Moonscar fight for her, trying to claim the most land in hopes of gaining her hand in marriage. All the Moonscar Fae are now determined to bring the lands under the Moonscar Court's control so the Princess has more places to visit. After all, a petty little fief gets boring after a while. Taltos is pretty, and it's along the way back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kialindo Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 that's one big axe for one lil lady ... Nice job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted March 18, 2005 Author Moderator Share Posted March 18, 2005 She took the axe from Duke Gerard in a fit of pique, and hasn't given it back for whatever reason and it's All His Fault and He Should Know What He Did Wrong In The First Place. I think that Gerard is great at the smiting, but horrible with women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinzig Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I really like the blues used and then the contrast of the leaf and berries crown is great! Looks like a fairy with an attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stern Kestrelmann Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Not bad at all Frosch! You may be getting better at this whole painting thing! I like the weapon addition as well... SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyIzmit Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I love the story behind the mini. I wish I could come up with such interesting stories. I also love the blues and she is just wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I particularly like her hair and the leaves, etc. in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubilee Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I dunno whether I like the story or the mini better.. both are great! It was very clever of her to choose a dress that matches her wings.. but I might have preferred a little more contrast there. However, I do like the variety of blues on the piece. thanks for sharing. /ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Psilos Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I wrote the stories for 90% of the Moonscar characters. But damn, does he paint good. I'm in envy. I wish my hand was steady enough to do that kind of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Froggy the Great Posted March 26, 2005 Author Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2005 Okay, I jumped the gun and posted my Chick Challenge entry before the winners were announced. Now that they have been (I didn't win anything), here she is again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastman Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Okay, I jumped the gun and posted my Chick Challenge entry before the winners were announced. Now that they have been (I didn't win anything), here she is again. I like the idea of the fairy princess with a great big Duke Gerrard axe. Good work on the conversion and painting. I didn't win anything either, but there is still the random prize giveaway. Jason says the odds are somewhere around 1 in 10 per entry. That gives me 8 (or 9 if display base counts as a separate entry) 1 in 10 chances to still be a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
