Avian Knight
« on: September 05, 2006, 20:29:51 »
Hello :)

I finally got the wings I needed to finish my Avian Knight. My generous dad bought a desert landscape add-on with a vulture so I didn't have to wait anymore.

Putting wings on people sure is tricky. I decided not to chop up the wings so much like I did on an earlier attemp. His sword is my favorite Playmo medevil sword, but to fit in his belt, the blade needed trimming. I used regular hobby paint for the chest armor, blade/pommel on the sword, and the blade section on the axe.

The tape on the bottom of his feet is there because it was so windy outside I had to stick him down to keep him from blowing down.

When the wind dies down I'm gonna take an avatar worthy picture of him--mabye photoshop the back ground a bit too.

-Jimmy

cachalote,

Fantasy type stuff wasn't really an influence. The most inspirational reference would be the angelic warrior sort of character. I decided to call him a "bird-man" just to be sure I wasn't breaking any message board rules. Also, "Avian" is just a cool sounding word ;D

Wow, a beautiful knight. If he becomes your avatar, this might become a heavy challenge to create for my PF avatar collection  :-\

Thanks everyone.

The avatar is made! Thanks Sylvia! It did lose some detail but I am very happy with it. I was going to put a cloudy sky behind him, but it's just as well I didn't. It would have been too much.

Neato :)

 Have you ever seen the film Flash Gordon , the one with the great Queen soundtrack, this figure reminds me of Brian Blessed king of the bird men.

 Great work again. :)

Oh yes, great soundtrack ... hm, and also a good theme to customize: the Flash Gordon motion picture staff ...

BTW, Freddy Mercury would have celebrated his 60th birthday yesterday.
