Grotesques / drolleries inc snail riding/fighting knights

[klickyklack]

I felt like the drollery related stuff from this thread should have it's own thread.

Hope it's ok to quote a bunch of your posts Janilew!? (though I might have sparked the flame, the good content was from you & I was busy getting over excited & rahrahing)

Just posting what there is in the other thread to start out with..

On a slight tangent, the bunnys would lend themselves very well to use with some of the knights stuff if anyone wanted to recreate some of these 

YES! Someone mentioned the drolleries! Hoo boy the imagery we could get! How about giant snails for knights to mount/fight? 

I could try drawing a giant, mountable snail. 

Did it!

I saw it on Instagram and knew exactly where the ideas were coming from It's a great drawing, and there is even the 123 Snail that could be used for that

That's right, klickyklack did mention it! http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-67380419885148_2271_434588065 Needs some reworking obviously, but it has potential!

ermahgerd! LOVE IT! I think maybe the drolleries stuff needs it's OWN thread with addtional Bosch style klicky fantasticness in addition to the murderous rabbits/hares, & snail riding/fighting knights.

 

Janilew that's a great pic! A "medieval illuminations" theme would be awesome.

Do what thou wilt. 

  You guys are NO help.  IF snails to ride or pull carts, etc, did appear, I now have the knights for them, but I'll save that for my collection forum thread!

I'm sure this idea is far too out there for Playmobil, but a lady can dream..  In my dreams alongside the murderous bunnys/hares, snail riding/fighting knights, etc, there is a lot more Medieval & Middle Ages weirdness (Hieronymous Bosch type klickies & scenarios), but I need to look at more drollery & Bosch stuff for specifics.

or at least their rough drafts. 

I was trying to get a good feel of them. I wasn't a fan of using the original human-sized, anthropomorphic rabbits, so I thought I'd go with a more animalistic approach. I actually consider the original rabbit heads on chimpanzee bodies to be a good reference, and with specialized hind legs so they can stand properly. And since their size would pose some limits, I wanted to keep them simple. Maybe they can be just a bit shorter than the dwarves? Of course they'll have their own weapons like a catapult, and most certainly a ridable lion. 

As a bonus, here's some reading material of the dreaded rabbits of the Marginalia!

In honor of the last link, I'll probably include a horn or some bagpipes.

WANT. Those are sooooo amazing! We'd need a whole tribe around here!

Now, can someone at geobra hire you, instead of Fritz Tomé, maybe?
