Hi here are some elf torsos that I cobbled together from existing LEGO designs:



An alteration of a design by Gileadknight for my elf faction



and an original design by myself



based on this:



What do you think?

Those are cool, but I do have some criticism. First of all, I think I see the reason behind making them predominately green, however, the lack of other colors makes them look less "elvish" IMO. The belts need to be some sort of brown and the scales in the armor need to be either a metallic or a different shade of brown to resemble leather. Maybe on a fig they wouldn't look as plain as they do, but a little more "life" to the design would be a good thing. The female one is neat. I think to properly pull it off though, you'd need to have more 3D type decal, like the one's The Hound Knight or Armothe have been known to use (if that makes any sense). I don't really like the ribbons and neck tie thing, but that's just me. Keep at it though, I like what I'm seeing.

I'm gonna have to disagree with Quickblade about the colors of the decals. I could definately see an elf wearing these. The color off the chainmail makes it look like more of a fantasy metal. (like mithril or something) Off course I'm no expert when it comes to decals, having only made a few myself.

They look cool. The girl seems to be a fairly standard stereotypical fantasy elf female. Maybe another female torso for some variety?

I like the looks of the scales you have with the greenish colour but maybe some other shades would be nice. Either way they turned out very well.

[The Blue Knight]

I like the nearly monochromatic scheme. It seems like something that you would wear if you wanted to blend in, a type of camouflage. The last torso is a good fantasy/anime-ish design. Nice stuff.

[Blue Moon Knight]

The last decal is my favorite. We need more female figs. I agree that there should be more color, where it applies. For some decals, such as a scout, one color is good for camo. But otherwise, color is a good thing.
