oDDerFisken Posted March 23, 2008 I felt like building a vignette and this is what came out. Hope you enjoy it. The crew on the ship was too bored with their too friendly and non-violent piratecaptain and decided to make a mutiny to get rid of him. The good captain James was just trying to please everyone and not make too many unhappy with their plundering and stealing. So he never killed anyone just for fun or let the crew enjoy some of the prisoners. In the end his nice character was the dead of him. The folder I'd like some comments on my first vignettes so i know what to make better next time :-$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Bucanero Posted March 23, 2008 So he never killed anyone just for fun or let the crew enjoy some of the prisoners. In the end his nice character was the dead of him. Pirates... Never satisfied!! :-D I see you made a good use of minifigs. I like how the scarf looks. Very funny how you made those pesky pirates sneak upon their Captain. The vig is well built, my only remark would be the wall looks more like a wall of a building rather than the wall of a cabin to me. Nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Col. Thok Posted March 23, 2008 LOLZ. :-D Nice vig! I like your style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capn Frank Posted March 23, 2008 Well Mr. oDDerFisken, i hope your blood thirsty crew can a good piratey captain. X-D Also, I've added this vig the Index of Land-Based MOCs. P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oDDerFisken Posted March 23, 2008 Pirates... Never satisfied!! :-D Well of course not.. it's pirates The vig is well built, my only remark would be the wall looks more like a wall of a building rather than the wall of a cabin to me. I see your point. But i couldt figure out how to make it look different at the time. But I'm glad you liked it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka Posted March 23, 2008 A nice and interesting scenery, the story´s just sad and pretty funny at the same time.... with very neat characters, too. *sweet* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted March 24, 2008 I realise vignettes are small and do allow much space but this one looks very "busy" in the sense it appears to be overcrowded. Perhaps it's just the camera angle. Anyway, great job! *y* That captain appears to taking more than his fair share of the rum so he deserves everything that's coming to him! X-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Blockbeard Posted March 24, 2008 I agree it is busy, however, remember we are on a ship, and ships are crowded... As for a wall of a ship something like this could be suggested... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted March 25, 2008 I agree it is busy, however, remember we are on a ship, and ships are crowded... That's not the point. The point is vignettes are a depiction and their design should imply they're a crowded space without actually being one. Says me who has never made a vignette X-D But seriously, I'm just observing other vignettes who have employed clever means of appearing crowded without looking too cluttered.

Admiral Blockbeard Posted March 25, 2008 ahh I see, i too have never made a Vig... as such. points heard and noted... im learning, slowly but im sure i will get there in the end... as it has been suggested its crowded maybe a little extra flooring could be provided, more square than its current rectangular design? i think 16 x 16 is an excepted size, but that is double compared to your ?8x14? what are the sizes your allowed?

SlyOwl Posted March 25, 2008 A good start! *y* However, as Phes pointed out, there is a lot of clutter - for example, are the treasure chest and barrel really necessary? Furthermore, there is no clear focal point for it; if you were to build a larger, more ship-like window and take the photo through that, with the mutineers around the Captain's back. As for photography, would you be able to turn that blue thing on its side to get a larger, more consistent background? Or a piece of white A4 paper works very well. That said, it's a great concept!

Maybe that would do it. Mine is, as you say, 8x16. SlyOwl: yes i should proably work with my backgrounds, when i'm doing MOCs. So for next time i will get you a more plan background X-D And you're right that the chest and the barrel isn't necessary. But I put them there before i placed the pirates.. so didn't realize that it was too crowded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted March 28, 2008 SlyOwl, you are certainly a master of vignettes! Classic-Pirates.com needs images like the one you've created above, so would you be interested in creating some more when you return from where ever you've gone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Blockbeard Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) RAOFL (for those who dont know, Roll Around On Floor Laughing) those jelly hogging Captains deserve all the mutiny a pirate can afford! Edited March 28, 2008 by Cpt. Pegleg Blockbeard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlyOwl Posted April 4, 2008 SlyOwl, you are certainly a master of vignettes! Why thankee, although this one isn't a full vignette; just some nicely arranged bricks for one shot... As for master of vignettes, SN has been called that and I've been meaning to say for some time, although it hasn't come out, that I would have thought that he would be a fine candidate for a MOC Expert tag; he produces many top-quality ones...maybe it's his lack of strong allegiance to any particular forum...furthermore, he's a member of Builders' Lounge... Wooh! I'm glad I got that out! :-D Classic-Pirates.com needs images like the one you've created above, so would you be interested in creating some more when you return from where ever you've gone? I would, although I can't really see how you would use them 8-| And my style of photomography is rather different to yours... 8-| But if they're not being mixed, then ask away! *y* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 6, 2008 Your style is better than mine and I've explained at least 3 times what I intend to use them for in various threads in the Captain's Cabin. The short answer is: to break up monotonous page of text with splashes of colour and intrigue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
