ED-209 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Hello all, I've been really busy with work and sadly haven't posted anything for months. I adore the Elf from the Series 3 minifigs, and my wife gave me one for Christmas (she ordered it from overseas, as Series 3 isn't out in Australia yet! ) Long story short is that, like a lot of AFOLs, I plan to amass a small army of Elves. So I thought it might be nice to bulk up the ranks with some custom torsos. First up is a straight reproduction of the official Lego torso: Second is basically the same, but with a brown cloak (reddish-brown, in the Bricklink colours): Thirdly; a slightly different look, replacing the official scale armour with a leather jerkin or tunic and a different belt: Hope you all enjoy them, and by all means I'm open to any suggestions for improvement and/or ideas for alternate looks! Cheers! EDIT: Just adding a couple more! Another jerkin or tunic, this time on sand green with a different collar: And a fancier suit of scale armour - an elven captain or prince perhaps?

tin7_creations Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 OH! ED-209 you're back! Great return with these beautiful decals! Love you're work! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 These are all amazing decals ED-209! Very professional quality design, great job! I would love to see these in your Elven army soon. Quote
indyman09 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Magnificant! I see a war between elves, orcs, skeletons, dwarves, dragons and humans! Good old castle time Quote
ED-209 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks for the kind words everyone, and particularly to tin7 for the warm welcome back! I've added a couple more, and intend to keep going, if I can come up with any more ideas for other designs! Quote
Henchmen4Hire Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Awesome, just wish I could print them out and have them look good, my printer sucks :( Quote
BrickArtist Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks for the kind words everyone, and particularly to tin7 for the warm welcome back! I've added a couple more, and intend to keep going, if I can come up with any more ideas for other designs! Those decals are fantastic! Maybe one with some gold, for a wealthier elf? Quote
ED-209 Posted December 29, 2010 Author Posted December 29, 2010 Those decals are fantastic! Maybe one with some gold, for a wealthier elf? Thank you! A wealthier elf you say? With more gold than the belt and cloak clasps of the elven prince/captain? Very well, a golden scale shirt fit for an elven king! And while I'm at it, I realised I had been missing some female elves: Cheers! Quote
The Soup Nazi Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Wow! Your decals are amazing! Soooo much detail... they almost look like TLC's torso printings! Awesome work! Quote
Cygnet Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Wonderful work! I must say that one would have a difficult time telling these apart from official TLG artwork. Quote
ED-209 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Thanks again for the kind words everyone! I've just finished an elven mage: Or possibly a priest? Hmm, not sure. I'd still like to make a couple more, but I think I've run out of ideas now. Does anyone have any suggestions? EDIT: Just tweaked the male mage's collar to help differentiate it further from the female mage (see below). Edited December 30, 2010 by ED-209 Quote

I'd still like to make a couple more, but I think I've run out of ideas now. Does anyone have any suggestions? You could do a female elven mage. Edited December 30, 2010 by dr jones Quote
ED-209 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Posted December 30, 2010 You could do a female elven mage. Sure, you mean the same mage's outfit just as a female? Quote
legoagogo Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Wow what great work,can't wait to see them on the figs ! Quote
ED-209 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Posted December 30, 2010 Wow what great work,can't wait to see them on the figs ! Ah, well I'm going on holiday at the end of the week, so any physical figures will have to wait until after I get back and place an order for some new parts! Anyone else interested is more than welcome to use them of course. The fact that I've got some time off work right now is why I've had the time to get back into making the decals! Quote
ED-209 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Posted December 30, 2010 Exactly what I meant, Good job! Cheers! Although my wife pointed out an oversight on my part: As both the male and female elven mages are wearing belts on the outside of their robes, the female should have hers cinched in more around her waist. So I tweaked that, but thought I'd add it as a new image rather than replace the older one (just in case anyone prefered it the other way!) My wife then insisted that I point out to everyone that she is cleverer than I am! Quote
dr jones Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 My wife then insisted that I point out to everyone that she is cleverer than I am! Aah, wifes, what would you be without them? (Free, happy, And so on... ) Quote
ED-209 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Posted December 30, 2010 Aah, wifes, what would you be without them? (Free, happy, And so on... ) Lost! And clearly I'd be making mistakes all over the place! Quote
Baylego Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 These are some really great decals! I plan on using quite a few of these. Quote
CommanderFox Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Great work ED-209! You give credit to the MCW forum! These are some great decals. I've always liked elves in books I've read and have fantasized over a big army in lego form, it would look magnificent with these decals. Keep it up! CF Quote
AhabDarab Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Great work ED-209. I hope you don't mind if I use these in my BrickQuest games. Thanks Ahab out.................. Quote
iamded Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 These are really awesome ED-209! Keep up the great work! Quote
ED-209 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 Thanks again for all the positive feedback everyone! I'm back from holiday now! Great work ED-209. I hope you don't mind if I use these in my BrickQuest games. By all means, please go ahead with my blessing. And please share any pics if you make them! Quote
The_Customizer Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Great job! I love them! Have you thought of making a decal for the head? And maybe for the shield and legs as well? Quote
