Eyes of Autumn diorama by James

This was a special project, and a very difficult one! The idea was to replicate the "Eyes of Autumn" painting by Larry Elmore, using the two minis, and a whole lot of sculpy :-) The cabin and all the other extras were sculpted and painted seperately, which was a logistical nightmare. It took about an hour to clean up my workroom when all the landscaping was completed. Each corn stalk is made from actual corn husks. It took a few tries to figure out how to make them, but they look more realistic as a result. Given the nature of the painting, my color scheme was very limited. I could not place or build every last thing as it appeared in the painting, but the close up view of this diorama captures the essentials. I have provided a second view of this diorama, for all those who would like to see more.

Breathtakingly beautiful. You caught the atmosphere and the colours perfectly. How long have You been looking for minis that match the characters in the painting so perfectly? If I could make a wish, please, add the cat and make the eyes of the scarecrow a bit more evil glowing.
