Lazy Days

[MikeyB]

Before the days of Victor Revolword and the Corrupt Hand, life was much relaxed and peaceful. Jars would spend his day down by the stream catching fish, dreaming of beautiful women. Some days, he would go all day with out a bite, but it was always good day sitting by the stream.

A good day for Jars. A fish on the end of his line always puts a smile on his face.

Love the little crane, the rapids look great as well! Nice vig!

[Captain Settle]

Great crane. The vegetation is well done too.

[PenPlays]

Look at all of that vegetation! That crane is very well done. Great job Mikey.

[Kayne]

Cool build, great crane!

[MikeyB]

thanks guys, I can't take total credit for the crane. I remember seeing something a year or two ago but can't find it again but I rememberd the use of the skeleton arm for the neck and just kind of went from their.

I have had it built for a few weeks and basically just wanted to show it off so I built this little scene.

I was lucky about two years ago, I loaded up on plant pieces from PAB walls. so I have shoe box plastic container filled with leaf pieces, and a couple PAB cups with grass pieces. I also scored a 9 cypress trees (and 60 other various trees) for $25 from a local Craiglist find about nine months ago. I need to work thos cypress trees into a buld soon

Love the crane. Very nice indeed!

[Styrbjorn]

Nice scene!

Nice little vig, I like it. Interesting to see how you did these trees.

I need to work thos cypress trees into a buld soon

With building in Varlyrio that shouldn't pose a problem.

What a nice little scene Mikey! That bird is looking very good! The dk brown close to the water makes is really realistic!

And I´m very jealous of your cypresses!

Very nice landscape, has a very peaceful feel to it I'm hoping to find some foliage parts on one of my rare trips to a PAB wall

[Mike S]

Excellent work as usual! And like others have said, that crane is what really shines here!

[Moexy]

Indeed, the crane looks really great, love the plantlife too

Nice little vignette all in all, great work

[Ardelon]

Nice scene, it really does evoke a peaceful and carefree time. And yes, the crane is tops!

[Ecclesiastes]

Nice scene! I really like the tiny waterfall!

[Kristel]

Beautiful all round. I like how you have done the trunk for the big tree and the crane is just superb. I expect you'll see these popping up at watering holes everywhere.

Look at all of that vegetation! That crane is very well done. Great job Mikey.

I'll have to second that. Also I want to point out that I liked the way it is photographed. Good work!

[MikeyB]

I am working on a few other animals (wild boar and peacock )

I was a combat photographer for nearly 15 years so I know my way around the camera and angles. I wish I had half the equipment i had then! right now I am using my wife's camera and a backdrop I made shooting in open shade. I know your in photo school right now so if you ever want to talk shop, send me a PM.
