I really like that fur coat, the color completes the outfit. By the way, I am sure he 'borrowed' his blade from some elf?
About the second castle: It's Rocca Calascio in Italy.
Lucky you, grew up in a world of seamless bodies, did you?
The fur is not strictly speaking new. I had it lying around for reasons I forget, but I believe it has seen action before. For example here
and here (sorry about the image quality... it's Bronze Age!)
The sword (from a keychain letter-opener) is supposed to be from
Lord of the Rings, but (if I recall correctly) belonged to Theoden, the king of Rohan.
And thank you for figuring out what actual castle this was. Did you just happen to know that or do you have ways to summon magic?

Thank you very much, Mark! Glad you like it. About the "new" fur, please see my response above -- just repurposing something you have seen before. Glad you agree about the suitability of the head sculpt. I think it is almost like the "Viking" sculpt they did for a modern urban PMC (or whatever it was).

Thank you very much, and for drawing my attention to it in the first place. Funny you should mention it, in certain poses, the sword would cause the hand sculpt to turn around its axis; since it was doing it fairly slowly, I was trying to snap the photo before it became too apparent; but in the end I was able to find a few positions where the weapon balanced well enough to stay static.[/quote]
