The Old Dwarf and The Dark Wood Complete

[ungoreatstefan]

The Old Dwarf rubbed his back as he trudged deeper into the dark wood. He had not ventured this deep since he was but a lad, but game had been scarce, and winter was coming. His loyal companion Topaz yelped and started off deeper into the wood. What would they find?

 

Hope you all like this little vignette I've been working on since uh, February I think? I had finished the dwarf and most of the diorama base then, but I was waiting on a suitable hunting dog and I was searching for a good solution for a big tree to put on the mound of earth.

 

I settled on the dog from the companions of the Stonehaven elves kickstarter, and then just bit the bullet, bought some sculpey and tried my hand at sculpting a tree. I think that it came out pretty well for a first try! 

 

I obviously still have to clean up the wood base, but I finished everything besides that this evening and wanted to share it with yinz guys and gals.

 

Sadly, my camera is only an iphone from my job, so they're not the best photos. But maybe the Old Dwarf will find a camera for me around the Winter Solstice.

Your tree is awesome! I especially like all the stuff built up around it.

Very nicely done. I really like the subdued natural colours you used.

Those are some pretty great looking trees! I like the autumn look of the base, especially along with the natural colors of the dwarf and his dog.

Just echoing, but LOVE the autumn tones and the trees in general. Great work.

Love the entire piece, do you have any closer up pics of the Dwarf and his Dog?

[Guindyloo]

It looks really, really great! I especially like that aerial shot - it looks like you're looking down at an actual landscape! Very well done!

This is sadly the best I've got.  Thanks for the kind words! It was a lot of fun to put together.

Thanks everybody! I'm really happy with this piece! I really love this little dwarf ranger from Red Box!

Nicely done!

I tried to get a close up of the dwarf per request and what I got made his left eye look wonky because of my angle but here's the old dwarf in close up vision!

Got another LIKE from me for getting a close-up of that cool dwarf! Great job!
