Check it out, I made a Wolf Link figure to go along with my Epona model. This really isn’t a good shot, and you can’t see any of the facial markings. I will try to upload several better shots later on.

Here's the rundown on how I pulled this off.

Kay, first I took a plain timber wolf figure, and layered on a base paint of dark grey. Next, I lightened the grey and painted it on the body to create shading, I kept the back dark and lightened the color as I moved down, giving him a more realistic look. Once I had got the base grey’s in place, I made an even lighter shade (almost white) painted the legs, under belly and throat, and began to work on the markings. Again, I mixed different shades of grey into the markings on his body to make it more real, I even placed a light layer of brown in there.

From there I moved on to the facial markings, using a very fine brush I painted on the sharp edges on his cheeks, then I worked on the diamond pattern in his forehead.

As I had been working on the paint job, I had also been working on the ankle lock. I took a regular pen cap and oozed Hot glue all around the circle, once it dried, I carfuly peeled it off, and viola, I had the chain that held Link in the early prison. The chain is simply pipe cleaner with the felt torn off and twisted into circles. His earrings are small twists of rubber encased metal.

So, what do you think?
