MKJoshA Posted August 2, 2014 Long ago in Treacleheim the Dwarves of Mitgardia used Ice Moles to dig their larger passageways for them. They were raised from birth by trainers and could be commanded with clicks and hoots. They are a rare sight in Mitgardia now. But some Dwarves still raise them and use them on the north side of the Mitgardian mountain range. More pictures on my flickr! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzalirk Posted August 2, 2014 Awesome mount with an awesome concept! Though, it seems a bit odd how he sinks into the mole's back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccoyed Posted August 2, 2014 Very cool idea for a dwarf mount. I thought a lot about dwarves myself before doing a Final Fantasy tribute instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKJoshA Posted August 2, 2014 Awesome mount with an awesome concept! Though, it seems a bit odd how he sinks into the mole's back. Lots of fur Nice mole! I really like the color scheme!

Very cool idea for a dwarf mount. I thought a lot about dwarves myself before doing a Final Fantasy tribute instead. I for one and sure glad you did the FF tribute instead!

-Horizon- Posted August 2, 2014 great looking mount MK. I like the color scheme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted August 2, 2014 I for one and sure glad you did the FF tribute instead! That is still my favorite mount so far! But it's sooo big. In designing and building the smaller, adolescent version I realized there actually were ways to make detailed chocobos that weren't the size of a castle. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Infernum Posted August 3, 2014 Awesome! Reminds me of something from Avatar: The Last Airbender (don't remember what it's called though). Anyway, cool concept and great build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venkefedo Posted August 3, 2014 Awesome! Reminds me of something from Avatar: The Last Airbender (don't remember what it's called though). Anyway, cool concept and great build! Might you be referring to the Badgermole? Neat build! Love those big feet and the colors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slobey Posted August 3, 2014 Cool, quirky entry. I like the concept although those mixel eyes are a bit "cartoony" for me.. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe Posted August 4, 2014 Unusual mount! I was wondering if someone was going to use the googly mixel eyes. They look good here, although i thought moles were virtually blind anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MassEditor Posted August 4, 2014 Interesting critter, I love the posing in the first shot. Neat idea, I could see a herd of these causing some serious devastation by digging out the grand under an army or fort, like Grabboids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKJoshA Posted August 4, 2014 Clever idea! I like it a lot! Thanks Vlad! Nowhere near as menacing as yours, but I had fun with it! great looking mount MK. I like the color scheme. Thanks! But it's sooo big. In designing and building the smaller, adolescent version I realized there actually were ways to make detailed chocobos that weren't the size of a castle. :P Well, I really like your big version. Awesome! Reminds me of something from Avatar: The Last Airbender (don't remember what it's called though). Anyway, cool concept and great build! Thanks Infernum! Might you be referring to the Badgermole? Neat build! Love those big feet and the colors. Thanks for the link! I've never seen Avatar so I'm glad you jumped in with that one! Cool, quirky entry. I like the concept although those mixel eyes are a bit "cartoony" for me.. :-) To each his own I really like the cartoony feel, but I know it's not for everyone. Unusual mount! I was wondering if someone was going to use the googly mixel eyes. They look good here, although i thought moles were virtually blind anyway? I guess you could say that they are so big because they are so blind! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted August 6, 2014 Neat idea to do a mole I think his digging claws/paws could be a bit bigger, but overall good work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKJoshA Posted August 8, 2014 Neat idea to do a mole I think his digging claws/paws could be a bit bigger, but overall good work Thanks SK! I guess the claws could be bigger. But I didn't want it to look Chima-y so this was the result instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted August 8, 2014 This mini challenge is brilliant. So many good ideas and such great execution, this definitely included. I surely wasn't expecting this level of diversity! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxim I Posted August 18, 2014 Very nice idea and nicely executed!! These mounts must be really usefull for those dwarves!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grum64 Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) That's brilliant If I thought for a minute that the moles 'tearing up' my garden looked like that I wouldn't spend so much money trying to get rid of the little buggers! Edited September 1, 2014 by grum64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
