This is so awesome. I’ve always wanted to do a Minotaur. This must be on the Hulk body you used for your Ogre. Excellent job, Ephi. Please show pics of the legs, I’m dying to see how you did that. Both of these figures are amazing, as usual.
So damn incredible, the transformation you made to that body. At first I thought he might squash the rat by the way he was looking down at it with his fist clenched, haha. I've also wanted to do a giant-type character like this at some point...I wonder if TBLeague will ever make massive seamless bodies, could you imagine that...?

Absolutely amazing, Ephiane! That is such an awesome looking figure, and the care that went into him is apparent. And I just love the cute scenario here — 'Beauty and the Beast’ is one of my favourite type of tropes.... :’)
I especially love his face, and I’m so curious how you did that. He reminds me a bit of some Brian Froud/Jim Henson creatures. Also the character Scorpan from the original My Little Pony movie. ;’D

The ugly beast is gorgeous and, as many others have already commented, they make a great couple. I, too, would love to see more of how you did the body.
Beautiful job, looks like he could be a puppet or an animatronic from a 80s movie. You get all the extra points for hiding all the evil joints/seams, they are the real ugly beasts, but they are nowhere to be found.

The ugly beast is within us all, and we live struggling constantly, trying to tame it. Some are successful, some are not.
... did I get it right? ... no? ... well... I tried.
I always love to see your beautiful creations. They're all so full of details, giving such distinct character to them, in such a manner that keeps us imagining their adventures beyond these photos. Keep being awesome.

I think the use of a very local word is acceptable here, BRUTAL! (Amazing, great). That's a fantastic minotaur, everything from the armor to the head and hooves is amazing, he does look like a "monster" and not just a dude with a bull head on.

Come on Eph, she might not be a perfect 10, but I think "ugly beast" is a bit harsh...
Seriously though, amazing!!! Your fantasy creatures just awe me every time. I think he's beautiful. (But also so genuinely monsterous it's amazing). I 100% agree with Skywalkersaga that I get a strong Brian Froud/Jim Henson vibe. And the photos really show them as a happy couple. He must have a... great personality.
I think I love her more and more. And I see she cut her hair since the earlier pics! Looks great.
Also, I'm glad she takes care to properly label her jars. If you mix up your unbaptized child eyeballs with literally ANY of your other eyeballs, spells can go all wonky, and you never know what will happen. Good organization is so key.

I think she reminds me of a certain someone I know. Come to think of it, your character is probably still less abrasive and annoying than the person I'm thinking of... Beautifully conceived, shot, and presented, as always.

now thats what it means bringing your figures to life. great level of details, especially the clothing and items are top notch. how are your figures holding up in terms of discoloring after posing them outside in the sun? even though i have mine on display in a perfectly dark room, exposing them rarely to sunlight rather than the lamps in the ceiling, i witnessed some severe discoloring with some bodies, namely but not solely aci (arms vs torso) cheers
Ah thanks Tjolnir for bringing that thread up, totally missed the adorable eye ball photos. I love how she looks a bit hunched over like some evil minion or old witch.
