Title: Grotesques / drolleries inc snail riding/fighting knights
Post by: klickyklack on March 09, 2020, 13:13:48
I felt like the drollery (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drollery) related stuff from this thread (https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=17152.10) should have it's own thread.

Hope it's ok to quote a bunch of your posts Janilew!? (though I might have sparked the flame, the good content was from you & I was busy getting over excited & rahrahing) :heart: :lol:

Just posting what there is in the other thread to start out with..

On a slight tangent, the bunnys would lend themselves very well to use with some of the knights stuff if anyone wanted to recreate some of these (https://www.sadanduseless.com/rabbits/)  :lol:

YES! Someone mentioned the drolleries! Hoo boy the imagery we could get! How about giant snails for knights to mount/fight?  ;)

I could try drawing a giant, mountable snail.  >:D

Did it!

I saw it on Instagram and knew exactly where the ideas were coming from :D It's a great drawing, and there is even the 123 Snail that could be used for that

That's right, klickyklack did mention it! http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-67380419885148_2271_434588065 (http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-67380419885148_2271_434588065) Needs some reworking obviously, but it has potential!

:love: ermahgerd! LOVE IT! I think maybe the drolleries stuff needs it's OWN thread with addtional Bosch style klicky fantasticness in addition to the murderous rabbits/hares, & snail riding/fighting knights.

 :bunny:

Janilew that's a great pic! A "medieval illuminations" theme would be awesome.

 :lol: You guys are NO help.  IF snails to ride or pull carts, etc, did appear, I now have the knights for them, but I'll save that for my collection forum thread! ;)

I'm sure this idea is far too out there for Playmobil, but a lady can dream..  In my dreams alongside the murderous bunnys/hares, snail riding/fighting knights, etc, there is a lot more Medieval & Middle Ages weirdness (Hieronymous Bosch type klickies & scenarios), but I need to look at more drollery & Bosch stuff for specifics.

THE RABBITS HAVE ARRIVED >:D >:D >:D >:D

or at least their rough drafts.  :-[

I was trying to get a good feel of them. I wasn't a fan of using the original human-sized, anthropomorphic rabbits, so I thought I'd go with a more animalistic approach. I actually consider the original rabbit heads on chimpanzee bodies to be a good reference, and with specialized hind legs so they can stand properly. And since their size would pose some limits, I wanted to keep them simple. Maybe they can be just a bit shorter than the dwarves? Of course they'll have their own weapons like a catapult, and most certainly a ridable lion.  >:D

As a bonus, here's some reading material of the dreaded rabbits of the Marginalia!

Love that rabbit art. A new body type would be a good idea for those I agree.

That's a brilliant approach to the subject matter, and one I had not considered in the slightest! :love:
