I've been admiring this avatar for awhile, actually... it's the perfect example of how to mix KK2 in with the others castle lines to make it much more realistic and much cooler. Well done!

Thank you! You know, your own avatar isn't half-bad.

I only made this avatar when I was playing about with my Rascus fig. I was wondering how to use the amour without it looking foolish, and it went from there. I took some inspiration from the Black Knights, and gave him a Dragon Master shield. Originally, he had a brown spear, but I wanted something more original, so I went for a new grey axe I had. Then I Photoshopped it onto an Autumn forest background. That's how I did it.

Ol' Martin was just a placeholder, and also a hint to my Redwall MoC's. (yes, still in the making, groans all around!)

*cough* *cough*

Let's get back on topic here before this thread is locked shall we?

Personally, I like your new avatar. The Dragon Master shield goes pretty well with it, though I feel that the yellow lines on the armor detracts from it a little bit. Oh well, I suppose that can't be avoided. All in all, it is yet another good way to make a KKII fig considerably more realistic.

Great job

Don't ask me why, but your avatar constantly reminds me of a hobbit :? I like hobbits, though.

Not sure about Hobbitness, but Merry did dress up for battle, I guess...
