Great shots!

Thanks folks!

For those who might be interested, here is a small sequence in front of a screen that I did on the weekend.

Thanks for watching!

That is a very skilled stunt troll! Or do you mean not hurt YET?

Really like the redish light on the surface of their skin. The angry head sculpt is perfect too.

@ Ovy


He is for sure an experienced stunt troll. Also, Elli is somewhat known to erratically spare some of her fiercest opponents at the last minute. I also helped that I told her the troll was named "Abby".

These sequence of battle photos are excellent and exceptionally well done. The background and poses are really cool. I especially like her leaping up in the air for the final blow pose.

Nicely done, love seeing both figures, and especially when they interact.

@all
Thanks for your ongoing interest in my little odyssey in customizing and posing Red Sonja.

Today, I received a package containing another new Black Widow head from NR Toys that I ordered sometime ago, when searching for the ideal Red Sonja representation. I'm pretty much impressed with the head and think I will keep this one for the Sonja figure.

Here are some pictures...

Thanks for watching...

She looks great, and the head is totally appropriate for the character. Thanks for the closeup.

I just found this thread, your Red Sonja looks great!

I did a couple of Red Sonja's awhile back from the original Red Sonja's 1 and 2 figures one more traditional and one biker version from a comic book cover.

You gotta love Red Sonja!

This is great fantasy Art. You have to rename the Thread. I thought it´s just the Red Sonja figure made by TBL (?) Thre´s much more in this thread. Monsters, fight scenes... i love it. Especially the two different facial expressions of the warrioress

Hi there,

I hope you all had great holidays.
Today, I took Sonja to the woods for a few outdoor shots...

The outdoors shots are absolutely gorgeous -- a combination of the excellence of the figure and its environment (and your good choices and photography).

Beautiful photos. Being in the “wild” is such a treat. Sadly, despite being in the heavily wooded mid-west, there is no where close by that isn’t private land for me to be able to do the same. Outdoor shots always look so much better than indoor.

beautiful photoshoot!

Thanks for the kind words!
I like doing outdoor shots a lot, but I very rarely find an opportunity to actually do them.

They look fantastic, and that big guy is really cool too.

@The Boo-Bomb
Thanks for the kind words.

I'm recently also messing around with different diorama pieces for my fantasy warrior figures. Here's a new shot mixing in 1/12 Goblin figures from the Mythic legions series..

The court of the Goblin queen...

Thanks for watching!

Well, she looks much better than David Bowie as the goblin queen, that's for sure. The photo is almost perfect, but something about the pose is just a tad detracting.

Cool shot. Love the massive throne and the little goblins. I don’t mind the pose as it reminds me of so many Red Sonja/Conan comic covers. The.. ahh.. outfit is what makes it distracting. I like the use of the Rey sculpt.

Very nice. Love all of your shots, despite potential wardrobe malfunctions.
I see Scarlett is back! I personally think she looks too soft for Sonja (and BW, too), but she rocks it (and BW) anyway. She's awesome.

LOVE the Rey sculpt in your setting! Lighting, backdrop, props, composition, posing... all great work!

That is actually what I mean. In this pose and at that place, this outfit is either too little or too much. I agree, the Rey sculpt works beautifully, creating a far more interesting character.

Well, the outfit problem did not really occur to me, when I planned and took the shot. I see now that the skimpy outfit in combination with the particular pose is not appropriate. Rey's posture on the throne was intended to convey a certain arrogance and malignancy -- further supported by keeping her face largely in the shadows. While I still think that it somewhat works, I agree that the attention is now mostly drawn to the "wardrobe malfunctions".

Don’t sweat it too much. It’s still a really cool pic.

Thanks again for giving me feedback.

I tried another shot and fixed the pose sligthly (Sorry no outfit change yet ).

CJ3A3630 by Randam Hajile, auf Flickr

I think the posture is more natural now, but I messed up the forced perspective slightly.

Thanks fort watching.

I prefer the first one. I like how the throne fills the frame and that she more or less looks into the camera. And her posture was very strong. It is a little weaker now due to the way her left leg is not relaxed but instead tensed to block the view. Modesty is a weakness!

Still, beautiful shot of course and I would have noticed none of that had it not been for that excellent shot earlier.

I also like the first image better, but it is not about the pose or the perspective, both of which are fine in both photos; I think it is the light that makes the first photo more magical, and maybe the position of her head is nicer. To my eyes, what was unsuitable was the clothing/gear (or lack thereof), nothing else, although in that respect the new angle is better.

That pic is so cool! she looks so relaxed and yet still quite dominate. Nice positioning!

@Diana
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I have actually made one shot that is closer to the lighting of the first image. I just dropped it, because the minions were not fully in the frame. Maybe this is more to your liking...

Thanks again for the comments. I will also look for another outfit for Rey...
