Visited your blog and looks like you've also been working on with the trails of this classic monster!<br /><br />I'd really like to see what would the fimir look like if Games Workshop would use their today's technology and innovation to create the thing, in plastic multipart. That'd be something!Kari Hernesniemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927700049356472857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433941857867447258.post-39850175852841438732011-04-02T00:36:08.477+03:002011-04-02T00:36:08.477+03:00I think the fimir are heavily influenced by films ...I think the fimir are heavily influenced by films like the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. There'a actually an old White Dwarf back cover with dwarves greeting a group of Dark Crystal mystics. This could be part of the reason I goddam love the fimir.<br /><br />I wouldn't worry too much about IP, look at Bloodmoon miniatures bog raiders.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433941857867447258.post-48177837860058013842011-03-23T08:11:17.003+02:002011-03-23T08:11:17.003+02:00I like Jim Henson's work really much, espacial...I like Jim Henson's work really much, espacially Labyrinth has a special place in my memories!

Old GW stuff had big impact on me when i was a kid! <br />izeColt likes to paint those old miniatures too (he has quite impressive collections!)<br /><br />To me, its just that i like those things but i would never want to copy them.

I like those "warped" proportions! <br />I think we have have created our own Design-Philosophy where we seek the past to find our inspiration (Old miniatures, old artworks)..after that, we add our own input to create something new out of it. Something that looks fresh but has that little Retro-Feel in it=) <br /><br />Like izeColt explained earlier, we just love the old stuff too much!Mikko Luomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414478537204536796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433941857867447258.post-48975551972944184712011-03-07T15:45:10.889+02:002011-03-07T15:45:10.889+02:00i get it ..... nice drawing .....i get it ..... nice drawing .....J.
