Title: Sketches of New Animals
Post by: PlaymoZoo on September 04, 2012, 18:08:30
So, I was wondering what a playmobil llama would look like, so I drew one myself (There will be some mistakes in the drawing, but this is sort of the idea and sorry for the bad photo's):

You're quite an artist! I like the idea of having the head swivel up and down, that's really good. They definitely need to have a baby llama, too. :love:

I'm really missing all the movement on all the new animals... :( most of them can only move their neck (not all ofcourse, but still).
Title: Re: Sketches of New Animals
Post by: bonniebeth on September 05, 2012, 18:18:30
And the koalas can't move at all. :-\ I found them a hair disappointing, though they are cute.

Post by: Rasputin on September 06, 2012, 02:18:46
Just like the Koalas I was really disappointed in the new mammoth's lack of movement . PlaymoZoo maybe you could get a job for geobra designing the animals, your design is way better than what has been coming out of Zirndorf

Those are wonderful drawings, look just right. You should send copies of them to Playmobil. Email is easy to ignore but the company has always paid real attention to paper letters they get. They sometimes actually use them to base designs upon.

I too think you should mail them your idea and resume. Maybe you could have some kid sign it so they think a young person made it... anything to get their attention for this great design

Oh, the bat design is awesome! I love the way you designed it to be able to hang upside down. The yaks are adorable, they're all just perfect! You definitely need to send these in a letter to Geobra. You're young enough that they will listen to you. :lol: I looked at your profile the other day and was surprised when I noticed you were only 14, so I was laughing to myself when someone said you should send a resume. :lol: But you are definitely very talented, you should pursue that talent.

Those drawings are awesome, PlaymoZoo! They'd probably turn out better for viewing if you scanned them instead of taking pictures with a camera. :)

The poor iguana received no votes though. :(

Title: Re: Sketches of New Animals
Post by: Rasputin on September 08, 2012, 15:50:46
thank you for posting your new drawings of these great looking animals. The only change I would suggest is that the bats wings do not move. If it is too scale it will be on the smaller side, smaller than the crow so it would be hard to make it move. The bats legs should have the standard feet that grab tree branches so it is versatile, I just do not want it to be like the small birds with just a hole

Title: Re: Sketches of New Animals
Post by: bonniebeth on September 08, 2012, 18:39:35
The red panda is so CUTE!!! If you want to start a topic here in brainstorming for playmobil starting out with your pictures, more people will probably see it, since they are rather buried in this topic. Or I can split the topic for you if you want.
Title: Re: Sketches of New Animals
Post by: Baron Marshall on September 08, 2012, 19:25:49
I like the idea of the bats with the little peg hole as they would be the right size for small bats and there could be 2 designs one with the wrapped wings and one with the opened wings like your drawings... of course nothing stops them from making 2 sizes of bat one with pegs and the other larger bats with feet  ;)

I think it'd be an awesome idea to start a new topic with your ideas (and drawings of course) for new animals! You could make one in the Brainstorming section; it's a lot of fun there! ;)

That's exactly the red panda I voted for (and yet I'm the only one so far  :lol:)

Beautifully drawn, and it's pretty difficult to get playmobil right > I used to make inventories with drawings of my clickies and I could never make it work the way you do!

maybe the fruit bats which are typically larger could have the feet and a smaller breed of bat that has the hole like the colored birds or pigeons. Both breeds of bat would have one open winged and one closed wing version. There are no upside-down hole locations so I do not see though how a small bat with a hole would be displayed? The larger bat with feet could be hung in trees

that is one set I do not have yet, its on the list X20. We live in an 1800's apple community :apple:. There are apple orchards everywere but the crop is no longer wanted :'( its all grapes now <:>.

So how do they attach the apple?

Each apple has a hole in the stem and hangs from a small spike under the tree limb.

That is a rare tree branch, this must be the only set it comes in? Not rare as in there are none but rare as in only very limited sets have it. This would work for a bat but there are so many old trees that do not have this feature, maybe a brown clip that has a peg on the lower end, similar to the green or white plant part that slips on the branch and hold a bird.



Apple orchards are amazing as are strawberry both especially after a rain  :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

I saw a comic at the time, and it was very violent. I can't stand violence with animals. Usually stay away.

I can't stand violence with animals either, but I still liked the movie. But that is a matter of opinion ofcourse  :)
Anyway, for some reason Yorkshire terriers are really hard to draw, don't know why. Maybe because of the long hairs?

Not completely happy, but here he is:

Aw, cute yorkie! How about a bloodhound? :love: And a schnauzer, I love those.

Tahra, you should definitely watch it, I still like it even now I'm grown up! I don't like violence period, and I remember when it first came out (I was 9 years old) that I saw the previews and didn't want to see it because it looked violent. I did see it though, because everyone else did, and I ended up loving it! The violence wasn't upsetting at all, except for one sad part. It's a really cute little movie.

As to the movie.. I don't know.. I LIKE violent movies.. as long as it's with people - after all, my fave movie this year (hope the Hobbit is even better) was the Expendables 2 (except for the dog scene - dialog only, bad enough)..., but I'm a big Stallone AND Lundgren fan, so..

It's "animal violence" I can't stand - in books too, some pretty horrid scenes that I can NEVER forget, though I always skipped them in rereading...

very nice drawings, the only thing I miss in playmobil animals is the ability to move. The mouth, legs and tail. If any of these were to be made I would want them to articulate. The recent light weight limited moving caveman series animals was very disappointing

very nice drawings, the only thing I miss in playmobil animals is the ability to move. The mouth, legs and tail. If any of these were to be made I would want them to articulate. The recent light weight limited moving caveman series animals was very disappointing

Yes, I know what you mean. My idea is that the heads and tails of "my" dogs can move, but the paws can't, so that they fit in with the recentely released dogsbreeds. It would be cute if the mouth could open anyway, but maybe it would be a little too small for that?
I did like the mammout though, but I like the solid animals way more, like the bison.
Glad you like my drawings! :)

Yes, the bison and the cape buffalo are two of my favorites and they don't move. I wouldn't want all the animals to have fixed limbs, but some look way more realistic that way. I can't imagine the horses with movable legs for instance.

My majer problem with the stone animals is that the sabertooth has a FIXED open mouth... I'd prefer them to either open the jaw, or just keep their mouths shut.

Also thing both sabertooth and mammoth should be bigger....

As for moving legs.. meh. Have you tried to keep a bunch of old giraffes standing? To me it's not a big deal... Not even sure if I wouldn't prefer them with fixed legs..

Not sure if it is playmobil-ish enough?

Just noticed this thread! Playmozoo, you're doing an excellent job; not just the sketching the animals but also translating it to a Playmobil shape! Beautiful!  :love:  The idea of the bats is great and could be used in several themes.

Maybe Playmobil should co operate with WNF and bring a theme with only endangered species. Good for the public relations, good for the WNF and good for the animals. They already have quite a bunch of animals which the Playmobil versions outnumber the real ones...

Yes, but maybe without all the rubbish that comes with those (we already have enough rubbish on this world, haven't we?), just the animals... and for each purchase a percentage goes to WNF. A nice collection as, for example, Schleich makes.

Really an inspiration for our dog breed series!

Yeah, you should try that! Though they're different skills and a lot of people who can do one can't do the other. I can sculpt but my drawings really stink.

Yep. There are artificial clays that can be baked in your own oven without needing a high-temperature kiln. Sculpey is the brand I used to use.

Your creative skills are outstanding, Playmozoo! And if you ever make a lynx like that (size is important, it's smaller then a leopard) and you allow me to borrow it for a while, it would be the first non- Playmo figure allowed to appear in my "The Story of Randolph" comic!

At first I made the body and paws with clay and then I attached the front paws with half a toothpick and did the same with the backpaws. (very professional, huh? :lol: )
I let it dry and then I painted it.

It was a little harder then it sounds, I must say :lol:

It has been a while, but after seeing the new Asian castle I was really disappointed of the "Asian Dragons"
I didn't see the whole "Asian" thing about those dragons,
so (you can guess) I drew one in two different colours (my colouring skills aren't great)
Blue

I wouldn't hesitate to hire you as a designer myself when you get older - i own a jewelry company and i bet i toy company wouldn't either. Good luck! :)

Been a while since I've looked on this thread your drawings are still as good as ever including Scar (quite a good likeness  ;)). It's good to hear you getitng a response from someone at Playmobil on PCC as you say it doesn't mean anything'll come of it but, we can hope

It's also intersting to see some of your creations coming to live in clay and your team of workers hard at work  :lol: they look good quite realistic I've experimented with air dry clay before not really my medium I certianly couldn't create anything particularly skilled mainly been round or long thin objects like peas or chips, rocks or something to fill a bucket or 1/6 mug I've still got my rather ungainly clay scupltures I did at school they leave a lot to be desired  ;D :-[

I always wanted to see a griffin from playmobi tool. And I was sorely disappointed that the dragons from the Asiatic dragon knights weren't lungs (the serpentine kind). I wish I could sculpt 'cause I could've made my own too. Great job on this!
