Continuing in the same vein, here is a Dark Sword Miniatures, Critter Kingdoms - Anthropomorphic Animals.

DSM8047, Hamster Swashbuckler. It was sculpted by Dave Summers.

 

As always, comments and critiques are very welcome.

I love the detail on his cape!

[OtterlyTrying]

Beautiful paint scheme.  Seeing this mini, it calls out to be the Dread Pirate Hamster to me personally.

[Pochi]

I love how you used bright colors instead of going dark with him. He looks like he enjoys his job! Nicely done! I need to learn NMM.

[Wombat Warden]

Beautiful stuff. Do hamster swashbucklers run around inside the ship's wheel?

[Gadgetman!]

Beautiful cape, and that sword...  

 

The rest is also pretty awesome. 

 

 

[Glitterwolf]

Awesome!!!

 

He looks like a 17th century Superhero!

The Scarlet Hamsternickel pokes at midnight!

 

yes, yes, and very much yes. I love your freehand, your NMM and especially your color choices. What fun!

 

To nitpick, I think the central fleurdelis on his cape stands out a little too brightly, as though it were "on" the cape instead of part of it. This may just be the camera, but to my eye it's a bit distracting. The two corners don't have that effect.

Beautiful work and such crisp coloring.

[Cyradis]

I love your color scheme and the freehand! The bright colors with the figure remind me very much of cartoonish Three Musketeers. C&C? I think the red parts could use a bit more highlighting - but I realize red can be kinda a nuisance to highlight too. 

[NecroMancer]

He looks great!

[Metalchaos]

Thanks for all your kind comments everyone. Looking back at the pictures today, I think what tickles me the most is the belt buckle and a few other spots I may revisit.

 

As for the red color, I didn't highlighted it so much this time as I wanted it to look a little diffenrent the red Hamster Mage outfit I painted in August. I think it look more like red leather without too much highlight.

 

On the other hand, I may retouch the white central freehand Fleur de Lys to lower its contrast a bit.

[Gadgetman!]

Yeah, that Fleur de Lis is almost shining....

 

Think you could make one that looked as if it was actually lit up?

Empowered by the Gods... It would look soo sweet on a Paladin...

That's a fantastic paint job!
