I was busy with other projects, so it took a while to finally address trying to finagle his armour onto him. it was all laced together with fine elastic and was a huge challenge to get him into, but I did succeed. I found the red scarf he came with was a bit too bulky, so knit him a finer, new one. He also needed a weapon, and I still had a few more sword charms which were the perfect size.
I fell in love with DreamHigh Studio's Otto, the Otter, the first time I saw him in his armour back in December. He reminded me of the tiny animal knights fighting alongside the characters in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe's Prince Caspian, and would fit in perfectly with my tiny Elf Knight army. So I ordered him, and after several delays, he arrived in August.

Thanks. From the first moment I saw him I thought he'd be perfect with my other two tiny knights. I also love how Donny creates such great texture on his dolls. Makes me wonder why no other animal artists do it.

He is an adorable addition to your little army of tiny knights. He must be very tiny to look small between the other two knights!

He's definitely one of my smallest characters, right down there with the Whispering Grass mice.

What a handsome fellow. He looks both regal and charming. I am looking forward to seeing him in one of your stories.
