TaleSpinner 39281 Report post Posted April 2 Yep, it is what it sounds like. One of my clients, same one as for the Boxer Rebellion, has commissioned me to create the Guinea Pigmies. One part African Pygmy , one part Polynesian islander, all anthro guinea pig. I don't know how he comes up with these ideas, but it makes me smile. There will be three minis in this set: a male attacking with a spear, a female attacking with a leiomano (shark-toothed club), and a shaman shaking a staff above his head. These guys are going to be tiny, 15 mm. Here are the starting armatures (arm poses may change, and the center one's arms are intentionally left long at this point): And the Masai styled shields I am making for the two warriors: 26 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keianna 5064 Report post Posted April 3 Awesome! If you need some more reference pics, I can get Snickerdoodle to pose for you. He works for raw pumpkin seeds and would be happy for extras. 13 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can get me head shots from the side, top, front, and 3/4 front that would be AWESOME! Also, if you can some how get a picture of him with his mouth open, like he's about to bite a treat, that would be exceptionally cool, as the shaman will be yelling. You can email any pictures directly to me at talespinnerminis@yahoo.com. Snickerdoodle will be immortalized in a mini (or three)! 12 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keianna 5064 Report post Posted April 3 Pics sent. Let me know if you need more. He is a bit hard to photograph, cause he gets really excited about treats and either tries to eat the phone or wanders off to find more. 5 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got the male's body, legs, feet, and grass skirt finished. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
