Nice you predicted WX but quite a shame that the shadow manipulator didn't happen. It's so festive.

Nice detail with the petrified birds. Reminds me of the broken animal moon pieces you can find.

This one screams Roseate or Charlie. Very fascinating you continued so long with this theme. Eventually Klei will have to make a Manipulator skin just based on these concepts alone.

So many Forge manipulators. Would be perfect if Pugna was a throne sitter.

Willow - Firebird


In Slavic mythology and folklore, the Firebird (Russian: жар-пти́ца, zhar-ptitsa)  is a magical and prophetic glowing or burning bird from a faraway land, which is both a blessing and a harbinger of doom to its captor.

The Firebird is described as a large bird with majestic plumage that glows brightly emitting red, orange, and yellow light, like a bonfire that is just past the turbulent flame. The feathers do not cease glowing if removed, and one feather can light a large room if not concealed.

Skins:
• Shadow Manipulator (v18) Return of Them + Malbatross
• Lantern - "fire feather"
• Birdcage

P.S.: To be continued...

Maxwell - Koschei the Immortal
Koschei (Russian: Коще́й) is an archetypal male antagonist in Russian folklore.
Koschei is a common antihero in east-Slavic folk tales. 
Most often, he is presented in the form of a strong evil sorcerer possessing treasures and magic items. He sealed his death with a spell (Koshchei’s death in a needle, needle in an egg, egg in a hare, hare in a duck, duck in a chest, a chest on a mighty oak tree on the island, which is difficult to reach) and therefore "immortal". From here in the culture there was an artistic image of a man dried to the bones or a skeleton in the crown. Koshchei's anger is a consequence of his endless lonely rich life.

Skins:
• Shadow Manipulator (v20) 
• Thulecite Crown
• Chest - Ancient Guardian
• Dark Sword

I didn’t draw it separately, but in the future there are possible:
• Night Armour
• Walking Cane
• Torch
• Night Light

In the concept devoted to Russian Tales, I wanted to leave a reference to six out of ten bosses without sculptures. I hope that it was possible to see.
Now I need to make the last drawing from this series. In my free time, I'm busy looking for a characteristic hero for the 21st manipulator and possibly related items.
This is a fascinating creative process. When there will be free time from work, I will definitely draw it.;)

can you design a chinese new year skin, just a reequest 

@thomas4846 Thanks! Great idea!
I have not thought about the appearance of a skin for a shadow manipulator in the theme of the Chinese New Year.
Maybe in the future  I will try to do this.

Wes - Ivan the Fool
Ivan the Fool (Russian: Иван-дурак) - is a stock character of lucky fool who appears in Russian folklore, a very simple-minded, but, nevertheless, lucky young man.
Unlike typical heroes, it is Ivan's simplicity and lack of guile that turn out to help him in his adventures. For example, he listens to his heart, rather than his mind, and he easily forgets offence and endeavors to help others even at his own expense. 

Skins:
• Shadow Manipulator (v21) - Antlion

Seeing the skins silhouettes, I didn't realize there was a theme until you put them together. Nice work!

@minespatch Thanks. As I said earlier:

So it was a fairly lengthy plan=) 
And a great hobby!

Kind of surprised the Oven there isn't part of the skins. I could see it a Scalestove skin.

With the oven (Scaled Furnace) I did not have time to “get ahead” of the Klei team. Although I really thought about something similar.

Now we have a lot of item skins in the game! And on the shadow manipulator as well. True, not on Science Machine ... (Just kidding ... or not ... Who knows where this hobby will lead)
