That Rat Mobster is awesome :)
Well, when you do get around to sketching again, toss me a sketch of a female Rat and I'll give it a shot at putting it into a green

How about an Big-guy for the Arab and Oriental Team? (an Oni or a Gene?) or star players? Huge sumo?
I would really love to see some "standard" human Elfball Players with a more terditional look. mabie a Team Pack of the multipart sprue.
A freestanding chainsaw bit would be helpfull. (As well as a range of secret weapons... like landmines.)
You guys have done some nice elfs in the past, I would love to see you take a shot at them in the future.
I would pay money hand and fist for a Grandma Wendy Figure.
Frogmen are a good idea. (Not shure what the market looks like)
the rat mobster is a fantastic idea. |

Done. Probably could stand to get more asian influences in him but he was drawn to be an oni.

I think there is a team deal for that, or at least was. And as soon as I get back on top of my work load there will be painted figs for the humans.
1. Do the art for the aids benefit that I forgot I volunteered. (done)
2. Push forward on the project I am working on for Norse. (working)
3. Paint two minis I was paid to paint.
3.5 Paint Minis that I promised for Galak.

I think a weapon sprue would be cool.

They are. Timberline Elves.

Somebody needs to do this. I should sketch it.

Yes, I thought so too! I can't wait to get one!

There definitely had been a team deal in the past, as I know I used it when I got the sprues to put together my multi-part figures. I'm guessing it got lost when the store sections got shuffled around, during the creation of sections like Elfball Teams, Sideline Figures, Big Guys, the whole Other Companies Miniatures section, etc. I'm hoping the deal could make a comeback, though, as I'm thinking I'm not happy anymore with the conversions and poses I got, and I might (someday) want to get a whole new team's worth of sprues so I could start over and do a better job.

The idea has certainly been a hit, and I know that it's in no small part due to just how well DL brought my vision to life -- he drew what I was seeing in my head.  So far as I'm aware, the green is still currently with the caster, being reproduced... my partner in the tournament organization is actually the point of contact on the production aspect, and I haven't heard any further updates on it yet. (I think it's just me being a control freak, but I really wish I could've handled it all and gone through Impact!... but for that to have happened, I would've had to have done it more than 6 weeks prior to the tournament. What can I say? I may be a control freak, but I'm a lazy, procrastinating control freak!  ) |

Your team was an excelent example of what could be gained using the multi part kits. (Buying some next pay day now). I would love for that team to have a few star players made for it.
(Throwing Out Ideas Now)
Second Edition Bud Bowl humans never quite looked like what they where meant to look like...
http://www.Fantasy Football.org/images/BB_illus_comp_17.jpg
Your multi part figures come extremely close. I am convinced a team of single cast miniatures made by impact would look excelent. (The new Wendy ones dont look... heroic. The "closest" I have ever seen is your middle kingdoms range.) I am excited by the idea of alternate heads.
How about a team of mutants?
Hate to bring up other properties but how about a set of miniatures that draw inspiration from mutant league football. (A team made of Skeletons, Robots, Trolls and SuperMutants)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_League_Football
Skeleton Lineman
Robot Blitzer
Troll Big Guy
Super Mutants with various cool mutations (as throwers exc.)
It could be an exsuse to cast some figures that have a little technology on them.
How About.. Skeleton Linemen that actualy look cool, Grandma Wendies have not aged well. They look nothing like their early edition counterparts and could stand a revamp/competive model that looks the part.

A weapon pack may be a must. Landmines, Chainsaws, Barrel of TNT, Shivs, blunderbuss, Pogo sticks, exc.... |

| Another thought, you have a tendency to pick up extinct ranges with impact and turn them into sellers. Have you tried seeing if black tree would be willing to part with their old undead slaughterball sculpts? |

I prefer to think that Impact protects endangered species...
like fantasy football players for example..

really!?
I was really underimpressed by the quality of the slaughterball sculpts (and I purchased them for my collection).

Hey! Quit mucking up my thread!  (sez a fellow hijacker)
Anyway as far as Black Tree goes, I like:
and
But only the one on the right.
Other than that I don't think they were that great.

I don't know if it is Dark Lord or someone else who has made the sketch but can someone show me a pic of the DE witch elf Lovely Wadelbottom, the pic on the WCQauke site has a broken link so i cant see the pic.
Cheers
MyKi

That's because there is no sketch yet; my leaguemate just decided to update the site with stuff we don't yet have.  |

I actually am gonna start doing this again. Since I have downtime...apparently and all I have left to do is work on portfolio work I might as well do what you guys have suggested.
I sketched a beholder ref quite some time ago but here's a more finished piece.
Next up is Grandma Wendy, suggested by Igor Tahavanale. Impact probably already has a sketch of her, but I'll do one anyway.

I'm thinking a cigar rather than an eye stalk coming out of his mouth would be more interesting. Otherwise I like it.
