I Dream Of Islands In The Sky...

[BrickCurve]

Recently discovered in an almost forgotten corner of Petraea university, this painting by the yet unknown artist 'BC'.

See Flickr (link in signature) for images without frame and background.

I would like to claim the UoP credits for:

Trees (1/3),

Studs up rocks and cliffs.

Very nice floating island! How did you get the background effect?

Thanks! The background is a handheld macro shot of some 1 x 1 round

plates. I intentionally kept the shutter open for way too long to get a sharp image in the hope it would look a bit like clouds. He rest of the image is several small MOCs combined in Photoshop.

Great idea !

And I like the design of this floating rock !

Good job !

[Kai NRG]

Clever way to do the background there! I thought for sure it was just photoshop! The floating rock looks really good, and although the tree doesn't look exactly like a palm tree, it still is pretty neat.

+1 for the tree and the rocks... I'm not so sure about the geography credit. You don't really have a mountain or cliffside (upside down for one and too small for the other).

I agree with Kai, UoP DoH +1 on the first two credits, but it doesn't qualify for the mountain/cliff credit.

That background is superb - but so is the rest of the build! Great job yet again BC!

[Leonardo da Bricki]

I love that tree! Well done scene!

[LordDan]

Great build BrickCurve! I love the idea of making it a picture, it's very unique and works great for this build.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks. Your right, it doesn't quite fit. Oh well I will have to make my first mountain... Edited July 5, 2016 by BrickCurve

Great floating isjabd, very exotic in nature. Reminds me of Ces's Tobdiah a bit.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Great fantastic creation -

[BrickCurve]

Thanks.

Thanks. I did gets one ipnspriation from there. It's always funny when auto correct doesn't catch a piece of really fast typing, "isjabid" = island! :D

Thanks, I am glad someone likes the tree!

Very nice island, and i like the background, with what appears to be an enlarged image of studs!

Correct! It is a 1.4 second exposure of the 1 x 1s that I sometimes use for water in other MOCs

Very cool and very unique. I love the idea of a floating island. I quite like the tree but maybe it could be improved by shortening the limbs a bit.

Thanks. Good idea, I will try that next time.

Lovely floating rock styling, and the sand texture on top is excellent too Clever use of the micro ship below!

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it s too much having the micro ship semi transparent, I am glad to hear it works! Edited July 10, 2016 by BrickCurve

Thanks, that was the idea, to create something that doesn't normally appear in GoH!
