Yup, it could be cropped. But it's a neat fig anyway. I like the stick and bundle. The brown hand works well for a handle. I'll have to check out the folder soon.

Interesting folder. You have some very well made creations. For those that haven't done so yet, take the tour, made me laugh. Great job.

I really like the stick and bundle. It's a technique I'll have to use sometime (I say that way too much ). Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see more!

That's a great face, and the stick/bundle is very nice. I'm all about the minifigs, so I look forward to seeing many more interesting characters in the future.

Thanks for the positive reactions so far !
The next character is this fisherman, showing off the
barrel of fish that he just catched:

My forestwoman wasn't too happy having to lend her hat, though.

Where'd you get the bandanna?

(I'm not sure if I can post direct links to BL stores here, so I won't)
Every now and then, parts in special colors appear on Bricklink; so was this green bandana.

Scnicker,
The "minifig hat rag" came in green in Forestman's Crossing, and is somewhat rare. However, as far as I know, the bandana around his neck is not from any set. We've seen a lot of odd color minifig accessories lately that seem to be official molds but don't seem to come from any sets. I'm actually waiting on a Bricklink order with a black beard myself.

OK, here's the next character, a shepherd:

The sheep are actually an incarnation of the original design by Ley Ward;
I updated them with mini-slopes as heads and minifig hands as tails.

I really like the sheep. I also like that you acknowledge your inspiration too.marakoeschtra wrote:OK, here's the next character, a shepherd:

In fact I just looked through your folder and I have to say I'm a huge fan, the detail in your MOCs is amazing
