Plodding Along on The Gaming Table, Part I: Updated: 06/05/116

What always inspires me the most about you, DN, is that you're thrice as old as the average player here and are STILL kicking ass and taking names. It's my goal in life to remain as flexible and playful of mind as you are.

Thanks, Arachas; that is probably the nicest thing anyone's ever told moi.
At moments like this Old Men are supposed to come up with some profound statement entailing a glimpse into the Meaning Of Life. Fortunately I haven't developed a "profound" outlook on life...absurd, yes; profound, no. I decided some time ago that becoming a Crazy Old Man & "making a joyful sound was the way to happiness. I'm delighted you've chosen the same path...it's always pleasant having company on a journey.

Teach me, and I will listen.

Ok...the time has come for me to reply in this godlike topic...
Holy Flying Cow with a nuns skirt on!
What a sweet arse table! Those trees look like talking a walk in the park on acid! and that's a good thing on this account!
Very awesome! Please keep the goods comming!

Thanks Gatlag...glad you liked the stuff. I'm not totally sure where this project is gong...that adds to the excitement; SO you can count on seeing more strangeness.

...I came really close to going off on a log winded philosophical rant.
There are lots of Folk whose opinion on Life has influenced my point of view, but, being a sickly little kid who came close to ending my life before it began, was the basis for my philosophy: "You better be as happy as you can today because tomorrow isn't yours." Taking a positive, live in the moment approach to life attracts upbeat Folks & drive The Grumps CRAZY.

Those are awsome and very funny in a creepy way! Great inspiration =)

Your Floedebolle Tree should not by any chance be spelled Flødebolle Træ?

Thanks, Komfritten.
The floedebolle part of The Floedebolle Tree is just giving credit to one of the Guy's on Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum who inspired the Beasty; his Forum I.D. is floedebolle...I love background stories.

Hehe Floedebolle or Flødebolle is a ...



in Denmark. So a rather funny tree

...I guess that makes it a Yum Yum Tree.

To get an idea how everything was working [& getting along ] together I took a couple of group shots of the Woods:









It seems the local Goblins have decided to relocate:



...might be heading to Eidelhans...the Devil's Workshop:



...or Bargenrheitz:



THE most most likely reason for the relocation:





Comments & critique are as always most welcome.

Wow this is just amazing work you have done here. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, I will now be looking back to your work for inspiration when i start on my fantasy Terrain .

To prepare you for the finished silliness, here are some TRULY MEDIOCRE photos of the W.I.P. on The Amazing Magical Circle of Continuous Chatter, aka Stoned Hedge:

The Overview:



Individual Shots:







The above one is approaching completion; the ones below are merely primed:



















As always comments, critiques, adulation, & barely veiled threats are MOST WELCOME...mostly.

This VERY cool! It reminds me of Labyrinth... the Helping Hands Scene! Watch it... you may get crazy 'deafnalistic' ideas!

You and me both Mord - I was watching Labyrinth with my son only a few days ago. There are talking stone faces in it too!

Excellent work as always Deafnala - surreally creative!

Laney

Labyrinth may very well be the prime motivator/inspiration for my stuff. The Talking Stones & The Door Knockers have been mentioned AND one of the Mushrooms looks a lot like Hoggle. PLUS I did a trade deal with drakkol...he's sculpting a David Bowie Jareth The Goblin King for the project. Cool, eh!?

Total Awesome!!!!!

your project gets better and better as each day passes..... I am speechless....

LGW

Thanks, LGW...glad you like the stuff so far! I probably should post some photos of the denizens...as soon as I work up some energy.

Now for some of the Folk that will inhabit The Spooky Forest & surrounding areas:

The staff at FAST FLO'S:

Fast Flo Herself flanked by Rowdy Rosie & Prissy:



A better view of Prissy; she's one of my friend Fabio's original sculpts:



Gertie, Otto Lukh, & Greta (Reaper):



Roxy, Hairy Harry, & Easy Ildy:



A few of Flo's numerous Nieces (Bronze Age):
Lily & Lusty Lulu:



Evil Iris, & Lucy:



Comments, critiques, & offers I can't refuse are, as always MOST APPRECIATED...especially the latter.

Deaf - it's the texture of the cloth that really strikes me (in Otto Lukh's pic) - it has great depth to it. Ace paintwork.

Ta Laney

ummmm...eerrrrr...aaaaahhh.....ooohhhh..... Brain overload brain overload.......

there is so much to take in the the fabric, skin, hell Flo's spectacles.

though taken from a varied range of mini producers you've been able to blend them together with your masterful paint work....

only thing I see and not sure if its my screen is really dirty or your camera lens is but flows blue dress has grit particles on it.



got to love those spectacles...wow


LGW

I missed the paint among all that cleavage! HAHAH! On my 2nd look... awesome work. What gets me is the LETTERING. Damn it, Deaf... you make it look so easy! I write small, but I can't do THAT!

My favs are Otto Lukh (the apron is ACE!) and Easy Ildy (explanations not needed... awesome sculpt and even better paint... naught Deaf!)

Since you are in the photograph mode (btw, AMAZING pics man! WOW!!!!) ... group shot?

Thanks for sharing your art. Well, I'm off... to drool over Laney's work. He posted NEW PICS!

Thanks for all the positive feedback, Guys!
LGW: I checked the mini & the camera; the grit was dust on the camera's lens. Being in Texas during a drought makes dust a real problem.

AND on that note some PIRATE BABES:

Dulcinea De Bimbo, Make My Day May, & Big Bang Dearie


Deadly Daisy, & Bold Jenny


...joined by Wicked Wanda


Chelsea, Fan Flame, & Curly


Mad Meg


Monkey Liz, & Lorna Boom




The Spritzer Sisters: Spider, & Dee:


Well she isn't a Pirate but she fills the Babe category nicely:



AND a Foxy Lady, Red Rita:



A LARGE Foxy Lady, Typhoid Mariah:



Comments & critiques are WILDLY APPRECIATED.

HAHAH! You have a sick sense of humor... LOVE 'em all! Yes... even Typhoid Mariah... but don't tell her. I want to live.
