Hi folks! Just a quick loincloth swap-out on Vikor. I'd like to make him a steed sometime in the future so I figure this way he can actually ride it :D Hope y'all like it!

Honestly, the shorts are only "ok" BUT the head without the helmet and the scabbard are AWESOME!
I echo this sentiment.Quote:

Thanks guys! The hair and scabbard are definitely my favorite parts of this guy, th eloincloth was more of an experiment. Wulf-Gar mentioned it might have looked better with a longer style one a la Hordak, and I may try that at some pint :hmgrin:
Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I think the goldish-metallic belt might be the thing throwing people off. I don't mind the shorter trunks. Maybe tone down the belt?
How'd you do the loincloth shorts change?
Thanks for the feedback. My idea for the belt was based off of the gold rings on his original loincloth, but i get what you're saying. Any suggestions on an alternative color?Quote:

I had to reheat the loincloth a few times to keep it pliable and prevent tearing, so it takes a little bit of patience. It's not too bad though, the swapping process probably took a total of 15-20 minutes. I did pre-paint the new loincloth before I put it on him though. Hope that helps!Quote:
