Here is my latest work. It will be the scout ranger character with a pack of wolves for animal followers. With any luck I will be able to get this done in the next week for the paper-cut competition.

Great drawing, Sam. I don't know why but these two figures remind me something in Japanese style ( manga/anime ), and I really like your ITF style artworks.

Those are very, very nice. Is the white wolf the pack leader?

Yes. The white wolf will be the pack leader. The albino look, along with a modest 10% size increase should do the trick.

Nice clean art and bold colors, nice.
You have anatomy figured out better than I do, they look great. JIM

I hate being "the negative guy" but I will have a bad conscience if I don't mention my concerns about the lance. I'm afraid it is going to be flimsy. Have you thought about re-enforcement? Everything else looks great!

I also was of the opinion that the spear was too long, not only for the practical considerations of building the mini but also for the character, being a ranger that walks through forests, a shorter spear would be more practical.

I was going to replace the shaft with a bbq skewer anyways

Exactly what I was thinking, VK. In my experience, the best way to add a weapon is to draw an open hand, put glue on it and wrap it around the stick just like a real hand. So, if a stick is the plan, maybe an open hand is in order. On the other hand, Labrat had good luck with slender bows but a thick black outline, I wondered if Sammo had that in mind, if maybe there was supposed to be an extra layer of card in the shaft or what.
I'm not sure where the official papercut rules stand on non-paper bits.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! As for the spear… Thanks for the feedback! I have been wondering about it a bit myself. I initially was going for more of a pole arm style weapon at first and then sort of switched gears to the spear without doing much in the way of re-scaling. I’ll have to look into sizing it down. I usually shy away from adding a wooden part, even though I have done it in the past I think it generally looks pretty good. But it messes with my preferred storage option of a photo album, which requires flat minis with no bases. Usually I just cut flimsy parts a bit wide and put my black sharpie to work to make them sturdy enough to hold up to game-play. Though in the case of the papercut awards, when I actually go to build this mini, I’ll likely go for a flimsier spear that looks good in a photo

If I weren't doing the skewer, I'd sandwich another layer of card in between to give it some heft.

Looks like this guy might make it into the papercut competition too... He still needs some work, but I think I can get it done over the weekend.

I have a number of posts in 'Introductions' that encourage folks to delve into all the treasures to be found in this forum. This was just one of them, or two or three...

It's to bad we can't get someone like Rhannon to comb through the forums (he is particularly skilled in this area) ,if you ask him to find a needle in a hay stack he would come back with 6 and say I wasn't sure which one you wanted? , and create a single thread with all the really cool stuff just lying around forgotten on this site. I bet that thread would be HUGE.

Imaging the creativity it would inspire. Not unlike a certain rodent based question I posed not long ago. Lol
