So every custom celebration I try to put together a batch of customs to reveal. This year, work and home said batch meant 2 customs. But hey, at least I have a bunch of 80% complete wips.

An ancient knight on a crusade dsicovers...something else.





Blue blank with MU Hydro Man bottom half and a Playmobil vest. I totally stole the idea from Erik Arana's Metamorpho custom. I love that there is no computer wizardy with the photos just a match and then a single led finger light.

Eli the mouse guardian
Timothy Frisby had 5 offspring in Thorn Valley, two daughters, Marsha and Cindy, and three sons, Jon, Justin, and Eli. Despite being blinded by an exterminator, the three sons were still able to forage and protect the family even after their father passed.

One day the brothers went to help a young rabbit who had been caught in a trap and got trapped themselves. The human trapper was a nearby farmer. When he took his haul home his wife killed and prepared the rabbit for stew. Not wanting to eat the mice, she decided to feed them to the cat. While cutting off their tails with a butcher knife, Jon bit her finger and she cut off his head. Before Justin and Eli could even react, she threw them to the cat who promptly ate Justin. Eli, however, luckily rolled under a hutch and was able to find a space to crawl through near the wood stove pipe.

Out in the open and still in danger, Eli found himself truly alone. Far from home and not even knowing where home was, he ran. He ran as fast he could until the sounds of the farm were safely behind him. That was three harvests ago.

Eli, no longer a young mouse, still roams the countryside in search of his family. He has become adept at survival and has lost count of the life debts owed to him by all the creatures he has saved along his travels. The woods are filled with stories of a blind mouse wielding a cleaver and fending off foes ten times his size.

Awesome! The photographs are terrific and now I want to make my own mouse. What are the rocks that you used for the picture backgrounds? They look like they are part of a playset?.

2DARK2C: 3 blind mice + book of eli + Rats of NIHM + Mouse Guard, but whose keeping track?

We do. Egg laying chickens named Lunch and Dinner. Huh, what's that? Unicorn Addict says their names are really Henrietta and Brownie, but what does she know...other than how to get them to come over to us long enough for me to take the picture?

The inside of the cave from that Schliech castle everyone has and the Aslan alter from the Narnia line.

OH, these are both fantastic and fun! The practical effects on the genie pics are perfect, really bringing it to life. As far as Eli, such an imaginative idea and execution.

can only echo what the others have said. You may not be showing as many as you wanted, but you got a lot of bang for the buck out these. Nicely done.

Haha, sweet!

The playset combination in the first set looks great. What are the parts?

The mountain cave/cell from the center tower of this Schliech castle.


Along with the Aslan alter from the Narnia line.


The vase is from Playmobil Egyptian line.
