Hmm, Garry looks sticks out quite a bit in comparison to the others.  He has a fairly modern t-shirt type thing, whereas Henry and Fred have more old-fashioned formal-looking clothing.

If I were to see Garry in the park, I would think the film was set in the present day (or recent past/near future), whereas Fred/Henry would make me think a fantasy world or historical era (Victorian, 1920s, etc.) instead.

Perhaps you could give Garry a shirt or suit, something that would look pretty normal in today's world, but could also pass for something in a historical era/fantasy world.  Something less distinctly modern-looking and more timeless, if that makes sense.  But if this current look is what you're going for, by all means do it.

Also, I find it a bit odd that all three characters have the same head.  (Though I too have a habit of making loads of characters with the Classic Smiley---not to long ago I came up with a whole army of characters, pretty much all of whom had that head...)

I was originally thinking a white shirt, something along the lines of this.  It could fit equally well in a fantasy or modern world.  Or possibly something like this.

However, since you've mentioned green, possibilities could be this, this or maybe this.  I don't know the exact specifics of your collection, but I'm guessing you'd have at least one of those.  Or, you could just use a plain green torso.

Well, it certainly gives off a war/danger mood. I would maybe take away that background, as it sort of takes away from the environment. Adding some other objects in the scene would help too, like debris, rocks, vegetation, etc. Of course, you may have your own way of doing this, so I could be wrong with my judgement. All in all, I'm looking forward to this!

Two main characters for a fantasy film I'm working at.

Are they good? I quite like the old one (Greygon), and I like the direction of the pharaoh-eque one (Diabolum Boni) is going in, but I might want to change it a bit.

Sorry for the quality on Diabolum... I must have been shaking.

Updated version.... I like it more

Thanks!

I like the figure overall, however, to maybe give it a more apocalyptic feeling, I would replace the arms and the hip piece with a dark tan colour. Just a suggestion, as I'm merely referencing the colour used from game titles such as Fallout

Here are a whole bunch of new figs.

From left: the Jarl of Vampire Town, so detached from his humanity that he's barely physical anymore, and so old he remembers the pyramids being built; a Banshee, whose deadly wails are the herald of death; a knight of Tuskwood; and a Draugr, a lost viking spirit. I'd love to do animations with all of these, and hopefully the Banshee and Tuskwood knights will be in some soon.

From left: Apollo (Greek god of light), Inari (Japanese goddess of fertility), Marduk (Babylonian king of the gods) and Thor (you know who he is). I had an idea for a brickfilm where Blot kidnaps gods from different pantheons and puts them into a prison designed to hold, well, gods. Some of them manage to team up and stage a breakout, like Clash of the Titans meets Escape from Alcatraz. Medusa or some Cyclopes could be prison guards.

From left: a construction worker who just wants to rock (who'll probably appear in Man with a Banana, when I get around to that), a random woman, a hired thief, and two zookeepers. Did I mention that I love the zookeeper torsos?

Futuron Astronaut with a future boombox (left) and a kind of hazard suit guy (right). The Astronaut may be for Man with a Banana. The hazard suit guy isn't.

Now I'm not religious, but I've seen so many depictions of demons and Hell here on Flickr that I thought I'd add an Angel to the mix. Yeah, he's supposed to look like he walked straight out of the 80s. Did anyone else see Jesus Christ Superstar?

Random space-figs.

That's all for now! Thoughts?

That's a great batch of 'figs you've got there, Jampot.

I really like the Jarl of Vampire Town idea (although I'm not entirely sure about the Egyptian headdress).  I really want to find out more about Vampire Town now.  The Banshee's torso looks a bit off to me, because it's got green bits that go against the black/grey-blue of the rest of the minifig but aside from that I like the head/hair combo.  Draugr is awesome.

I've never especially liked the use of construction torsos as prison jumpsuits, since they have pens and zippers, which wouldn't really be on prison outfits.  However, since there are few alternatives (as LEGO insists on using the cheesy striped outfits) I can understand the use of them.  The brickfilm idea certainly sounds intriguing.  I'm guessing the prison somehow drains their god-powers?

The "hired thief" looks more like an adventurer/treasure-hunter or rebellious motorcycle rider to me, but I like the combinations.  The zookeeper torsos look just a tad feminine to me though, as they've got the black printing on the sides to make the waist look curved. 

As far as the angel goes, I'm not sure I'm sold on the 80s style, although it's certainly... interesting.  I can just imagine a cheesy retro action movie involving him....

I love the space people too, especially the boom-box one and the one in the middle of the last pic (those torso/legs go really well together with the helmet).

So yeah, hope you don't mind my excessively long post.  I'm really excited for "Man with a banana"!  I'm curious to know what it will be about (I'm guessing it will involve the man with the magical banana minifig you posted a while back....)

A Jarl with an Egyptian headdress does seem a bit weird.  I feel like by the time he come to a Nordic land he'd have become tired of that.
The draugr looks cool besides the beard, just leave him bald and he'll look cool enough.
(BTW, I can almost perfectly imitate the sounds draugr make in skyrim)

I have that last one, I was actually considering that one, but I think I may go just with my original shirt.
Throughout the entire set, I tried to include all six rainbow colours since Fred sometimes slides with a rainbow trail like Isaac the clown.  Garry's shirt, though missing a few, contains a few colours from the surroundings, which I feel complements them both.  Garry is also a very different sort of character than Fred and Henry, and isn't quite as stylish as they are, so the inconsistency in outfits still works.

However, I'm considering changing Garry's pants from dark blue to bright blue.  I usually prefer the darker colour for jeans to seem more realistic, but the is no dark blue anywhere else in the set, so bright blue may be better to complement the waterfall, the bit of blue on his shirt, and Fred's rainbows.

Dark blue or light blue?

Yes I like the new pants better.
