    Some of your best, definitely, amazing work Jon
    For a moment, all this reminds me of one very old movie... ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids''
    Now, I think I'm going to watch it again tonight, last time I watched that movie was, something like 20 years ago

      Thanks Ren! As you can see I am doing an entire character around your wonderful Thistles

      Also the fox eyes is a mod you did a long time ago.

      If you ever need a new challenge I think over-hauling all the foxes would be a great thing

      Thanks Patrick! I have enjoyed it myself a lot as well. Plan on taking a break from it after my last story. Hopefully a Manly Monday with Fenn in mortal form and then switch back to writing about Grim or Kavel for a bit.

    Fantastic images, Jon on some pics he really looks like a picaro my personal favs are the images with the foxes... are they some of his companions? If tiny or huge... I'm really looking forward to the story of the Thistle King

      Thanks - had to google that word - a nice name for a rogue. I hope I can remember it later to use.

      Fenrir, of course, is Lord of Wolves, but he is also a Guardian of the North and its creatures, lands, and people. As a great hunter and predator he also relates to similar animals. He is half-mortal human and half-fey as Fenn. Which means he can become the Thistle King, one of the Fey. In Skyrim I would say he is a nature spirit much like the Spriggan is considered a nature spirit. Lore suggests that the way Lorkhan was able to impose limits on the Aedra, and bring mortality to those who are immortal, was by breaking them up into smaller and smaller pieces and by doing so put in place limits. Anyhow some of the smaller pieces became some of the nature spirits, among them the Spriggan is rumored to be small sentient parts of some of the Aedra used to create Nirn. Since Fenrir was created by Lorkhan, who in turn was behind the creation of Nirn, it would make sense Fenrir would be able to become a nature spirit if he so wished.

      Getting off track. Point is that he is chummy (friends) with many northern forest animals - wolf, fox, raccoon, minx, otter, owl, cats (domestic, lynx, cougar, mountain lion), black bear, etc. The gray fox is a fey-fox and Fenn can use it as his steed to fly through the air if he wishes.

      When full size he is a human rogue-mage and much of that lore on him I have already covered. Of course there is a reason he has incarnated himself as part nature-spirit but I can't get to that until I get Grim's next chapter done.

      So the gray fox is for Fenn like Tinkerbell for Peter Pan
      That's a great idea Jon
      Thank you for the explaination.. and I'm a patient person, can wait till the story of Fenn will start (uh Tanja you're such a liar... you are everything but not patient!) ... ehm don't listen to my second me... she is a bit grumpy today

    Great images again, I really like the idea behind it, and it looks gorgeous!

      Damn! Caught!

      I think I needed some color and nature after so many months in the world of Fallout :p

      That's why I do have colors and nature in MY Commonwealth!
      My boys are appreciating it very much.

      Now I wonder what Mac would think about these 'photos'?

    Amazing work, such gorgeous, fantastic and very creative set! Such wonderful vibrant colors, great poses and compositions. Fenn looks great as Thistle King and I love the addition of foxes... such cool touch! Shakespeare poetry also fits awesomely in this set.

      Thank you Nataly - I hope you enjoyed these as I could not help but think of Sofie and how she would love to meet Fenn with his small "army" of forest friends. I could see Fenn sitting in her hand or on her shoulder while she gives treats to the foxes and other forest animals. I may do a set with something like that just for fun. Perhaps she stumbles across a ring of toadstools and has the craziest dream ... only when she wakes she is wearing a crown of thistles

    And I just put down my Shakespear book down to surf around the Nexus and...I'm welcomed by a Shakespear quote hahaha. Jokes aside I think the quote fit wonderfully with the set ! On a few of those you can really feel that impish,tricksterish side to Fenn..just with how his eyes are and the somewhat smirk he has ( ..that smirk...*melt* )

      :-) Thanks Lia!

      I chose this quote as it is about imagination and how it is boundless and infinite. I think it fit perfectly into a fantasy setting like this and captures that park of Fenrir/Fenn with ties to Lorkhan/Loki.

      My favorite expression that I think captures Fenn best was this close-up one:

    Wow ... you know, I was really tensed and you topped my expectations. Fenn looks fantastic as Thistle King. This strong hair cut with the flowers in the hair works fantastic together.
    I like this wonderful fantasty touch of this set. When he is the small version, he looks a little bit like an elf from a faity tale.
    Wonderful work, Jon

      Thank you BM and thanks for the textures - now you see why they were so important to me. They are part of Fenn's kingdom after all.

      Aye I like the strong haircut with the wreath and I think it works well for Fenn as this little tough guy Fey creature ... and in his large form as a human rogue it also gives him an intense quality I like.
