The Penguin Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Man I love HoMM3! And your works looks really good (The Mage is masterpiece indeed!)I hope you will continue this series and someday I will see here my favorite units from Conflux- Psychic and Magic Elementals!And this adorable kid... Don't give him more suggar, ok ? Great to find another HMM III fan here! ) Oh, I will. ) Thank you. ) Please feel free to check the tread some time later. ) I hope you'll like the upcoming part. ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Quote
Jebediahs Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Ladies and gentlemen! ) I'm proud to present you my new castle minifigs update. ) I hope you'll like them! ) Quoted because he deserves to be on every page! This mage is really cool. Especially since he's painted by hand. No offense to decalers but I think it looks better than a decal could and perhaps takes more skill to paint it than to create a decal (don't shoot me ). I know my hand's nowhere near steady enough to pull something like this off. Great great job. Looks exactly like the reference pictures. Quote

I know my hand's nowhere near steady enough to pull something like this off. Great great job. Looks exactly like the reference pictures. Oh, you're too kind! ) Well, decals are also very hard to make (mostly all) and it requires some special skills, but what I like about painting is that the figs are more "alive" that way. You don't just stick paper to it, but you create it with love and care, as every job that you like should be done. ) Though EB decal-makers are specialists of a highest level and deserve great respect and gratitude for all their hard work. ) I hope you will continue this series and someday I will see here my favorite units from Conflux- Psychic and Magic Elementals! The day has come. Here from the elemental world to battle the evil Kreegans comes the Magic Elemental! (Based on HMM III image. He's the 6-th level creature there. ) The one at the top and the one to the left in a window. ) (No other pics available, I'm afraid. ) I hope you'll like him. ) Any comments, ladies and gentlemen? ) Edited October 21, 2009 by The Penguin Quote

The Penguin Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 Another portion is here, ladies and gentlemen! ) A dwarf, an elf, a wizard and a unicorn! ) An old dwarf having found a low-quality diamond. ) An elven warrior. ) I just love him! ) A wizard in purple. At last I've managed to combine a hood and beard together! ) A unicorn. Someone simply should've done it once! ) I hope you liked that part! ) Any comments, please? ) Quote
Wout Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 They look very good. I like the grey dwarf beard. Elf and Wizard are also good. The unicorn is very nice, only the marks on the side of his face is a bit less nice. Quote

Professor Flitwick Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Apologies for not commenting yet, I didn't noticed you updated this thread, else I would've posted sooner! I must say I love your wizard (espeacally his hood!) and the elf. It's hard to created LEGO creations that seem to house dignaty, but you did it beautifuly! P.s - Why's the Dwarf so sad? If I found that jem I'd be extactic! Quote
ILikePi Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Wow, those customs are looking great The Penguin! Is the whole Jedi hood piece for the wizard painted? If so, you did a really good job on the purple. I especially like the gold lining for the edges of the cape and hood. Who knew that purple and gold went together so well? The others are as good as ever, especially the unicorn! I can't wait to see more of your creations! Quote
BlueBard Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I loved HOM&M and I must say I find your MF customs wonderfully achieved Bravo! Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I wonder why LEGO didn't make an Unicorn... Anyway I think it would look just like yours! And the painted dwarven helmet and beard looks lovely! Quote

Though, I'm generally not a big fan of using them, but in order to create an Erathian Army I had to. ) Plus some small touches made by me. ) Erathian footmen. ) Erathian peasant and a bandit. ) I hope you liked the part! ) Any comments, please? ) Edited November 14, 2009 by The Penguin Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) The bandits torso is exquicite, and boy is he ripped! Well, he found a low-quality diamond. ) Well if he put it on eBay no one would noticed until they brought it! EDIT: When (if ever) will we be seeing your castle comic?

CommanderFox Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 As usual Penguin you produce Stunning Custom Figs These are Amazing! I love them all, can't find just one or two, they are all Great! Well done and looking forward to seeing more! CommanderFox Quote
Dutch Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Those are great Penguin. Be seening you. Quote
Hound Knight Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Great work on all of these Mr. Penguin! I love the painted dwarf beard, I may have to try that on some of my dwarves. Quote
MetroiD Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Penguin, you rule. Simple as that. You've created a bunch of wonderful and very original minifigs and I think your imaginary world is really starting to come to life (please don't send the orc clown after me for saying "imaginary"!)... Can't wait to see those in castles and dioramas!!! Quote

EDIT: When (if ever) will we be seeing your castle comic? Yep, thanks Shadows for the decal. ) A comic. Well, my latest Batman one is over, so I may start a new one. But unfortunately I'm a bit short on time right now. ) My current Castle MOC is now at a halt. Not to mention any ideas with comic-writing. ) But I already have a plot, so once I finish the current project at work and settle the problem with my insurance company, I'll start it. ) As usual Penguin you produce Stunning Custom Figs These are Amazing! I love them all, can't find just one or two, they are all Great! Well done and looking forward to seeing more!

The Penguin Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 Now, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for a new part! ) Here comes a Vampire Lord from Heroes of Might and Magic III (though he looks very much like Nosferatu from 1924 film.) Anyway, hope you'll like him! ) HMMIII version. ) My version. ) Note the ripped belt! ) .... and the collar and robe. ) "Surrender, beast!" "I vill drrink yor blud!" I hope you liked the part, ladies and gentlemen! ) Any comments, please? ) Quote
WhiteFang Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Why did I fail to notice this topic after so long? Heroes 3 is one of my all time favourite game, and I should have noticed that with the distinct title such as Erathia should have caught my attention much earlier. I am pretty excited to see all of your updates, and so far your customs are real solid. I like those Erathia footsoliders and the new Elf addition. It's very lovely and of course, mighty. Thanks for sharing it with us. Quote
ADHO15 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 More great work, Penguin! I saw the previous lot on Brickshelf before you posted them. I see you ventured into decals rather than painting them. You did a great job, but I still prefer you handiwork with a brush. The vampire lord is also very well done. You could use the head again for a Man-Bat figure! Keep it up. Quote
BlueBard Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 More wonderful work, The Penguin! The Erathia's men are great and the vampire is priceless, just as I remembered it form the game Quote
Hound Knight Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I love the big sleeves on your vampire! I may have to steal that technique sometime. Quote
Big Cam Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Wow, this is an impressive amount of custom figs. I love the detail you put into them and the paint job's are very clean! Quote
