Here is the next in my warrior women project: Gil Patterson/Gil-shalos and her wizard lover, Ingold Inglorion from Barbara Hambly's Time of the Dark series. It didn't seem right to me to make her and not her man. I had tried various other dolls, but nothing worked until someone here posted a Dumbledore with a beard trim and a light went on! (Don't remember who and couldn't find the post, but thank you so much!) I did take some liberties with their costumes but the first book I used for reference was light on the personal descriptions.

Most of the patterns were fudged from ones free online by Chellywood (thanks!). Swords came from ebay and Ingold's staff was a chopstick. Gil required a head swap from a Fashionista to a MTM body and then I painted her eyes gray. I'm pretty happy with them and now ready to move on to the next/last warrior woman...one that will be an even greater challenge!
