The baddy is outstanding, especially the back where the spines are protruding  . Personally, I think the shield's a nice touch, and the skin on the horse looks very horseskinnyish  . A really dynamic, cool piece, Reaperman. Not much more to say other than "Well done."  |

Nice work, Reaperman. Lots of action in a tight, compact space! I am mildy concerned as to where she is directing her attention, though! Surely the claws are a bigger danger!  |

looks cool mate the leather for the horses gear (reins, bridle, saddle bags etc) appear too close to the horses skin tone, that's the only thing i think needs tweeking. |

very dynamic, with a good story. Love the paining of the grey/flesh tones on the bad guy. the horse is nicely done, with a paniced look in it's eye.  I can't make my mind up about the shield. I would have to agree with alrith72 that it kind of draws the eye away from the drama, but it is so nicely painted.  |

I really like the dynamics of this scene and the way you have used the three different manufacturers. She's looking remarkably calm considering what is about to land on her plate!! I would have pooped my pants   A nice tight scene which speaks for itself, grats on such a cool job |

Nice job mate, she looks in real trouble to me! Looks to me like she's not anymore. The way the arm, sword and body is posed it looks as if she's at the endpoint of a strike. Intestines pouring out of the adversarie would complete that picture  Very dynamic scene. Shimmer really lends herself to that kind of thing doesn't she My immediate thought on receiving her was to have HER springing the ambush (against a hapless orch or so) |

Glad everyone likes it. I wanted to see what people came up with story wise for this moment captured. While building it I thought the time freeze was just at the moment she finished the swing of the sword to kill the beastie and realized it moved quicker than she could. Its the moment when your playing a computer game and you just don't react quick enough, and your character takes a hit for your slowness.
Cheers for all the nice comments I'm very happy with the results. I'll be back in it next year with all 4 hopefully.

This is a great scene. Everything that needs to be said is being said in the poses, it's a perfect snapshot of a moment. |

Fantastic . a nice & dramatic scene. Once again another DoD using two mini's for full impact 2? I count 3, thats a converted black scorpion horse. The horse gives the extra momentum I needed in the scene. Cheers for the posative response |

Very dynamic and I really like the fact that you can't quite see how the monster is attached so it really looks like it is leaping. Nice!

Awesome work. It's truly hard to accept it's a diorama, rather than a still from an action scene.

I have to ditto that I like the work on the spine protrusions and that captured a moment in time feel to it. That lurking above reactionary fluidity is just great.
Reactionary fluidity???
Don't ask me it's what came to mind.
