Rex and Baron continued on in the snow....

....when they came upon a familiar griffin and his friends, having dinner by their fire....

Baron got down off his horse....

"Good day to you sirs...."

"We are just passing through on the King's business."

"You look familiar...."

"Yes....didn't you pass by here last year around this same time?"

"Yes, we come up here every winter just to check on things, and make sure everyone is okay."

"Then you are most welcome here..."

"Come join us..."

"...and warm yourselves by our fire."

"Thank you...we'd be more than happy to..."

Amazing photos! I can feel the cold from here. The Griffen is an interesting character. So unexpected to find characters in the frozen north.

Thank you.

I thought I'd have the characters the knights encounter become more and more 'Fantasy' the further they went.

I made the Griffin and Gnomes decades ago as part of my sculpted Gnome series.. The Griffin was inspired by the Griffin in the opening credits of the Jim Henson Hour, and he was also a character in the Storyteller episode - The Luck Child.

Great armor on the two characters with the griffin. The griffin is awesome too. Their sweep through the north is very interesting.

Thank you. Their helmets and most of their armour is sculpted of polymer clay, and painted silver, although some of it is made from real metal medallions.

I wanted to keep it interesting, so decided to have the knights encounter several of the Fantasy characters in my collection. The Griffin and the Gnome beside him are sitting on a big log together, and are actually roasting marshmallows on his spears, but I removed them and replaced them with turkey drumsticks for this series of photos, as I figured that would be more appropriate.

I'm loving the knights' encounters with the different citizens of the kingdom. Very fun! I especially love the Griffin and his companions are cool too.

Thank you. I thought it would be more interesting if the knights actually encountered various characters on their journey. I didn't exactly plan these ones, but was putting Bianca back in the display case, and she stands beside the piece with the Griffin...and I wondered if he would work...and one thing led to another....and here he is...

Unexpected and wonderful!

I love these characters that you made. I look forward to learning more about who they are in the story.

It was fun to include these characters in the knight's travels. They work so well with my BJDs. I just wish they were posable, then I could really have some fun.

Sometimes I don't know what to say without sounding like a broken record. This story is wonderful and each episode is fascinating as it unfolds. I love how respectful Baron and Rex are when they encounter the many different characters who inhabit Lawrence's realm.

LOL. "Broken record" is just fine. I really do appreciate getting comments. I love what I'm doing, and it makes me feel like all my effort is worthwhile.
