Here it is! Dark Sword Miniatures, Critter Kingdoms - Anthropomorphic Animals,
DSM8036, Hamster Mage with Staff. It was sculpted by Dave Summers.

 

This model was a little more challenging to paint. I'am very happy with the final result, I like how his red outfit and I'm glad I chose that color.

I hope you like it too! Comments and critiques are very welcome.

A great paintjob!

It's a wonderful paint job.  Lovely, rich palette and excellent work on the scarf.  I half-expect the mini to try to sell me a Kia.

[Cyradis]

That is such a glamorous rodent! It is wonderful!

Wow!  Very cool nmm on the knife (which kinda looks like a cat claw to me).  I also like the scarf.  I'm curious if you followed a real life example or just came up with the striped pattern.  Looks like a real scarf but also hard to just invent.  Well, hard to copy too I imagine.

He looks amazing!

[Pochi]

Wow! Beautiful work! The scarf is amazing and love his little pimp hat. The red was a nice choice and all of the colors you added for his accessories pop nicely with the deep red. So cute!

[VolksFest]

Such brilliant contrast! Very well thought of and do they indeed pop! Top notch!!

[Baldur8762]

Wow that is incredibly vibrant and utterly stunning!

That is one dapper looking Rodent Guy. Your brushwork is OUTSTANDING, but it is your array or colors I love. The scarf is my favorite little detail. VERY WELL DONE!

[Guildenstern]

That is amazing you should be very proud he looks excellent =D

I love the Darksword critter series, so many good sculpts and cute critters!

 

I think my favorite part on your guy is his nose and toes!

[Metalchaos]

Wow, thanks alot for such a warm feedback everyone, I'm very happy you like it.

The basic idea for the colors and pattern of the scarf are from Jessica Rich paint job on her Hamster Mage. I just added a few more colors.

 

 

Original paint job inspiration by Jessica Rich.

 

It's true they deserve to be mounted on a decent bases. I have three more Hamster adventurer to paint, when they're all done, I'll see what I can do.

 

For now I will focus on the Cleric Hamster with Mace. If anyone has a nice color scheme to suggest, I'm open to propositition. Nothing too flashy, I'd like to stay classic.

maybe stay with the basic Templar colors of red and white for the Cleric Hamster.

 

standard chain mail colors,  White ta-bard with red markings in freehand,   Leather or linen colored pants , leather for the shoe wraps.

 

Silver for the bracers.
