Othwin sounds more Anglo-Saxon to me. Of course 'Oth' is common to several ancient Germanic tongues and even had a Latin counterpart. That shoulder seated familiar, Thyth, reminds me, in a smaller edition, of the Harpies in the Harryhausen movie "Jason and the Argonauts". Have you seen that? Or did you go back to an older source from legend? Nice cross-bow, too. Interesting idea, anyway. Please do more of Melkior! My best, WWL

I usually base names on existing models from various sources. Othwin is a portmanteau of elements from Norse and Germanic names and has no particular meaning (although it's possible to derive one). Thyth is just a variation of Thoth.Β OΕΎys (pronounced "oh'zhees", zh as in leisure and ees as in geese) is Lithuanian for "goat". Yes, I'm a keen amateur linguist!

This is understandable. Of course Lovecraft or Robert E. Howard obviously did this well before our time! Likely Sir Walter Scott did the same. Yes, the Brothers Grimm went much into historical and even pre-historical philology to find the earliest sources for names and words. All of this stuff is fascinating, at least to us, of course. Now Thyth deriving from Thoth; this suggests some Egyptian link, possibly?. You might recall in those Conan yarns & even the comic books that Thoth Amon was a powerful sorcerer. Oh, interesting but perfectly sensible to use a Lettish word to describe your horned character. The Yuni master has done several horned characters and even Prince Arcus is a horned "demon". My Canid People, being telepathic, have no spoken names but for convenience, back in the 1980s I invented Germanic sounding names for them. They, appearance-wise, were a blend of German shepherd with mastiff. Keep up the good work. WWL

Nice team. But if they are on their way to destroy nice thing, should they not begin by themselves ?

I'd like to do something to take the henchman's mind off his work for a bit... <3

They are both so unique and cool! I just love the little satyr's feet and horns, and the Prince is a very sexy young man. Your kit-bash outfits are so much fun to look at, you make clothing for females work so well on male characters in ways I never would have thought of.

Thanks, very much, Luka Β I had a lot of fun with that "Knight Winds" outfit, cutting out the both the boots and the pants to make them into shorts and shoes (and of course losing the bust). Hooray for the geometry editor!
The satyr is a very old Genesis 1 figure that I didn't think I could use again (great morphing by DarioFish). I converted for Iray and used a fur shader on the legs, et voilΓ ! I think his great clomping hooves are so cute!

Fantastic characters! Β Any chance the one with the sword is wearing heels? I wish you wouldn't have cropped his feet out of the frame. Just personal preference; I don't mean to be overly critical. . . It is a very nice render.

Thanks very much, J.T. 
If you look again you will see that I've composited the rest of his feet in for you

You're welcome! It really only took me 15 mins, as I just did a spot render of the bottom of the frame and pasted it in to the original file in Photoshop
