Popular Post malefactus Posted August 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) For those of you that don't haunt the Conversion, Presentation, & Terrain Section, I shall now present my Pingo inspired Faerie/Goblin Tree in all it's nearly done* glory. The original Thread is here: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/60105-hey-malefactus-have-you-been-sneaking-around-the-somerset-woods/ With the inspiring article: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-somerset-30687171 SO that's the background fluff to The Tree: ...closeups: AND there you have it. *The "nearly done" part is that I'm tending more toward the vignette than the gaming pieces of late...not having had a game in more than two decades may be influencing me here. SO I'm thinking of adding a couple of Fantasy Folk to the scene. A couple of Dark Hold Goblins are possibilities for tenants, but a passer-by would finish the scene nicely. Suggestions would be most welcome...mostly. Edited August 10, 2015 by malefactus 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malefactus Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Beautiful work that showcases your whimsy. Thanks, KruleBear! "Whimsy" sounds SO much nicer that "Nuts", although the latter is probably more accurate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingo Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Uh-huh. ... I love all those little staring eyes. This is a tree that watches in every direction. That's a great little front door there, too, in the shadows. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol...I just assume "nuts" is a given for any of us in this hobby! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great little front door there, too, in the shadows. Thanks, Pingo; considering I got the idea from your thread, I am delighted you like it. The bead eyes seem to follow you (or moi) were ever you move...one reason, other than the dust, for keeping the stuff covered. Rumor has it you like steam punk, which is why I went for the clockwork door mechanism. Lol...I just assume "nuts" is a given for any of us in this hobby! Horrifyingly enough, there are some Folk who take painting toy soldiers/miniatures VERY seriously, frowning on all frivolity & attempts at humor in the craft. Reality & those who chose to live there are SUCH a bore. Nuts is much more fun, eh?! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mierot Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The further I scrolled, the more I had a sneaking feeling I was being watched. Then I saw the eyes...the tree has eyes! I love your imagination! Great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loim Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Fantastically done. You have such great attention to detail. Very fey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hah hah! Love it, Mal! Thank, ub3r. That's the reaction I was trying for. Gasps of awe are for other Folk; I'm in it for the laughs. The further I scrolled, the more I had a sneaking feeling I was being watched. Then I saw the eyes...the tree has eyes! I love your imagination! Great work. Thanks for the kind words, Mierot. Placing the odd...in more ways than one...eye in unexpected places adds a certain bizarre quality to the scene; AND it's FUN. Fantastically done. You have such great attention to detail. Very fey. Thanks, Loim. Things take a little longer now than they used to, but the extra time lets me come up with all the little embellishments that make things interesting...they also add to the time factor...et cetera. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revloc8 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Agreed, beautiful work! I love it! Beautiful work that showcases your whimsy. Thanks, KruleBear! "Whimsy" sounds SO much nicer that "Nuts", although the latter is probably more accurate. Just my opinion, but I think he said "whimsy" cuz if he said "Beautiful work that showcases your nuts." that might be misconstrued...:P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
