From SarahHC: Violinist, Elfio and Bookstacks [Overdue andRreturns; Fantasy] (61 Points)

Hello Everyone!

Finally, another post!

Continuing through the Analogueville Library to the Overdue/Returns Desk where we find stacks of books waiting to be returned to their proper sections.

These books (3D prints from MyMiniFactory) will be used as set decor in upcoming Moonstone games.Fun to paint, though I did spend an inordinate amount of time attempting to get the ‘right’ look for a strange collection of ancient and mysterious tomes.

To fulfill the Overdue/Returns Desk location points, I present the Violinist - a figure I had printed and primed for last years Challenge. She will be a companion to the Flutist from last year. I did not yet have time to base the Violinist to match her companion, but that will happen!

I wanted both figures to look as though they are part of a traveling troupe and have used a similar colour palette. The musicians look a little travel weary, their once-fine garments a bit faded and dusty. I particularly enjoy the fluid movement of each figure, they do look like they are happy, creating music and dancing!

The library is currently experiencing a shortage of library carts due to an unprecedented number of patrons using the carts to transport themselves around the facility instead of returning books.  (The lack of book carts will hopefully be addressed by management later this challenge.)

Due to overcrowded shelves, the Librarians have noticed some unusual cross referencing - resulting in an identity crisis for at least one library denizen.

Heading into the Fantasy section, we find Elfio, a renown Elven warrior who has discovered his true calling as a romantic hero and is now styling himself as a cross between Mr Darcy and Daniel Day Lewis circa Last of the Mohicans.

Dreamy and pure fantasy!

Keen Challengers can look forward to a return appearance of Elfio when he will be featured in a little vignette. Stay tuned!

Points-wise:

Stacks of books/terrain cube = 1 point

Violinist 54 mm figure/Overdue Books = 10 + 20 = 30 points

(Flutist not counted as she was previously painted)

Elfio 54mm figure/Fantasy = 10 + 20 = 30 points

Total = 61 Points

Thanks for reading, stay tuned for more of the Library Tour

I must say milady has outdone herself today! Great colour selection, Sarah, and great model selection too. The violinist seems the perfect companion for the flutist, and Elfio - wow, we only just manage to hang on to our family friendly atmosphere here. What a stunner! The stack of book is a little treasure, the time spent searching for the right look was time spent well indeed. A map next time to allow us to follow your progress would be nice, but 61 points added!
