Good to see you back! I like archer's original, dynamic posing very much - a lot of character here! Still don't you think that his back foot (boot) should be just a little bigger?

Thanks!! . I´m planning to do the same as the Adventurers: Humans but now elves (BTW elves is the plural word for elf? ). The set will include warriors, archers, wizards, clerics, paladins and rogues, all in male and female version. I hope to have a little more time to continue with this set

Actually, before Tolkien the word was "elfs" and it is sometimes still used but in "adult" fantasy it is almost always "elves."

BTW He would look more natural if the hand reaching for the arrow was palm up or if the back of his hand was towards us, but maybe that is not natural for an elf

He does look great. I mean the elf, not the president.

Now, that is a impressive posture.
My friends that refuse to play with elves because they think they are too "flowers, and songs, and little cute bunnies in the forest" will change their minds if when they see this set.

Thank you very much guys i'm working in the set. Only the Paladins elves left to be designed and painted to finish all these elves. Hackbart, i'll be glad that your friends use elves again to play

Thanks Braveadventurers!. I´m sorry for the delay in this set but i must move to a new flat in the next week and i don´t have too much time to work on it but it . The set is complete and i finish two complete color schemes and the last one is almost done, but i didn´t do the cover and the final layout that takes some time. I hope to finish it in 1 or 2 week. Thanks for your attention

Thanks emergencyoverride, i´ll need all the luck because a move is always very stressful

Well, I had socks on when I opened this post, and they were officially knocked off! Fantastic work on these. EDIT: The only thing is watch those white areas around the neck and between the body and arms. Fill these in. ;D

Responding to (and encouraged by) Kila's comments on another thread about what makes a useful comment, I came back here because I had a concern but didn't express it. [Bad Cowboy, Bad!] You might want more contrast in the colours or thicker lines on the interior details so all thei awsomeness doesn't wash out quite so quickly when the figure is scaled down and a bit farther away. You could maybe use the "curves" tool (that Sir Kev explained to me on ANOTHER thread) to punch things up a little, but I'm sure you know more about using your software than I do Try not to stress the move Cowboy

Thanks for the suggestions . About the white areas, it could be fixed, but with respect to thickness of the lines i think that is too late , to do it i should re-do all the 3 schemes color PDF again and this could take a month or more. Anyway i don´t think that the details will suffer a great loss because is the same thickness of my previous sets and i think they look acceptable (at least I think so). I´ll try to not stress me with the move , but is a headache to pack all thinks and when you´re in the new place you can´t find anything what you need, and don´t know in which box you put in Thank you Cowboy

I thought it would be too late to change the lines, but I thought I would mention, and yes, the figure does look very good as is, I was just wondering if it could look just as good a little farther away. On the other hand, it might then look too dark overall so best to trust your own insticts and taste.

@reivaj - This one is definitely among the very(!) best of your figurines - kudos! ...You might want more contrast in the colours or thicker lines on the interior details so all thei awsomeness doesn't wash out quite so quickly when the figure is scaled down and a bit farther away. Actually I like very much these "washed " colours. Most of designers (including me!) are guilty of far too bright/fancy colours, while yours are both classy yet distinct! If I can suggest some subtle change (vide Cowboy suggestions) I'd add some gradients and shadows just to bring figurine upfront while cloak should be kept more in background/shadow. Anyway that's just my two cents - this figurine is superb as it is

Beautiful! A great solution.

That really makes the figure "pop." I love Reivaj's work, and this makes it a little less... "static" and have more depth!
Great job, Mesper, for pointing that out.
