WIP update: I think she's almost done. I'm pretty happy with her so far... GM64 Edit: or maybe make her float a little higher...? What do you guys think....?

I kinda like that she's closer to the ground in the first one - kinda like she's trying to be more approachable or less threatening to mortals. If you decide to do both, there's always plenty of room on the pages of the hoards. Great looking figure!

Here's another WIP: Hel or Helja....goddess of the icy underworld of Norse Myth: I did borrow a bit from Marvel...and a bit from Smite... Not sure how I'm going to make her stand up....maybe a bank of icy fog...? GM64 Edit: Maybe like this?

The fog bank feels kind of fluffy, and i think diminishes the power of her pose. Perhaps, have her supported by a column of screaming souls? (This is a very quick sketch, but, you get the idea.)

I kinda like the fog bank. And it fits in with Norse Mythology. Plus as a back I think it looks kinda cool... Helja02b by grendels_mother64, on Flickr (And I'm not really sure I want to do much more work on her...a horde of tormented souls is a whole other project....) GM64

Been struggling to get something done for this months horde, but alas will be unable to finish. Took me 6 redo's to get this from a basic thumbnail, and I'm still a bit unhappy with it, I have really gotten rusty! I still need to spend some time loosening up the drawing muscles, my hand and arm ache like hell trying to draw again. Anyway, was trying to make a Kratos and Hades figures, but only got Kratos to this stage. Hope image shows up... Will try to get these two figures finished up but will probably be next month.. JIM

So these two are done, backed and based: I have a couple others on the go...If I don't finish them up in the next few days I'll put together a set of Norse Gods sheet. Norse Godesses by grendels_mother64, on Flickr Hope you like. GM64

Under the wire! As this is now July, I think we have to close this, but feel free to submit to later Hoards.
Thanks

Ok. Finally carving out time to assemble things. I want to enumerate what I'm putting in the hoard to get someone to sanity check that I didn't miss anything. cowboyleland submitted Baden_Powel.png aaron submitted Eiolynn_Mistress_of_Dream.jpg, Eldufice_spirit_of_summer_black_border.jpg, isuada_final.jpg mesper submitted permes-h12-old_gods_lion.png grendelsmother64 submitted 27944288511_6768ea42c0_o.jpg okumarts has a post about a wood elf avatar, but the image in the post has a set of cyan lines through it, so I'm not sure it's a final submission. Vermin King posted a dwarven chariot, but I can't tell if it is a submission or not. aaron posted a whole set of dark elf horses, but I don't think this was a submission. I'm going to start assembling a PDF of the figures I know were submissions, and I'll be making cutfiles for them. Please chime in about the other posts that I wasn't sure about. In the future, the following would be super to speed up my end of things. Of course, I'll take what I can get, and I always appreciate people sharing their work. This stuff just makes my life a little easier on the packaging process: 1) when making a submission, put the word SUBMISSION right at the start of the reply. That'll make it obvious to me that there's something meant to go into the hoard. If you want to recall something, just edit the post to remove the word SUBMISSION. 2) if possible, submit images as PNG files with transparencies, where the image is 8.5x11" at 300 dpi. This makes it much easier for me to pull images together onto one sheet without having to think too hard. 3) if possible, use the forum hoard tabs. There's a package that includes a variety of standard tab sizes. It's not critical, but if you're making your own tabs and would rather have tabs that are styled in a more common fashion, feel free to use the ones that are available in the forums.

No, the Dwarf Chariot is not a submission. I'm not sure about the others

Sorry - I wasn't terribly clear, was I? There is this resource: cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/thread/6113/forum-hoard-production-packetAdmittedly, it sounds like it's only useful for someone who is assembling the hoard (me) but in fact it has a sheet with tabs on it. Using a standard tab isn't all that big of a deal, but I list it in case someone is submitting something to the hoard and they're thinking "I need to make a tab - maybe I'll just draw a randomly sized box and call it a day". At least the more I advertise the existence of the production packet, the more likely someone will say "no need to reinvent the wheel - I'll use what's already there!"
