This one is the best from you Behemoth... Such sharp photos and nice lighting. 2nd pic is my favourite.

Thanks, that means A LOT to me. I tried so hard to get some nice and crisp photos and I managed to get them.

[Lord Vladivus]

Nice build! Cool to see some builds for the Zar-Ifrikt!

[vitreolum]

Nice, as Gunman said the second photo is great.

[Sir Gareth]

I like this. It's really well done.

[mccoyed]

Great work. Photography and lighting are exceptional and this is a great fig, too.

[LordDan]

Neat build! I the shop look nice, and the photography is really good! I also like how you used both sides of the "brick" brick( I don't know its name, but the stone wall brick thingy). I think it looks a lot better than when people use just one side of it , which ends up with the same pattern over the entire wall.

Also the description is good, but the bold words are slightly distracting.

[TheRedViper]

Nice work, I agree with others about great quality photos and lighting!

[Alfadas]

Very nice one! Photos are really good. I really like the blacksmith. Dwalin's beard looks great on the Uruk (or Zar-lfrikt). Nice work.

[Thomas of Tortuga]

Definitely a nice build here. Photography is very well done.

[IenjoyLego89]

Very cool fig. Pics are really well done as well :)

Thanks guys!

I'm glad you all love it especially since I hardly put up builds but I'll definitely get them up more often. As for the lighting and photography, it took me quite long to get the best pictures I could possibly take (I took 4 and 1 of them came out pretty bad) but I think I've figured out the trick with my camera. So when I get more builds up for now on, I'll definitely try to replicate the skill shown like in these ones.

This is looking real good, Behemoth! A great build - and the angle and posing of the minifig makes it feel like we just entered his shop - well done!

And good story too, although I would agree that the bold text confuses it a bit.

[Jakorin Swiftsword]

Looking good here! Photos and build both look great!

[NiceMarmot]

Looks really nice. Great minifig, and nice posing too. Good photography also.

The walls are a bit plain, but that's probably how a blacksmith's / armorer's shop would be. I probably would have recessed the windows, the arches over them, and the plain bricks to the sides of the windows, maybe recessed a full stud or just a half stud (with jumper plates underneath). Currently the transition between the masonry bricks and the smooth bricks around the window looks weird -- there should be more of a defined transition. Try it out and see if it looks better.

Thanks.

The bold text is supposed to show important names and places.

I think the walls a pretty good to be honest. An arms shop isn't meant to be very pretty though.

[cesbrick]

Looks very good Behemoth! Nice story too!!

[BrickCurve]

Great job, I especially like how you made the blacksmith figure, he looks very fitting with that beard. Great story as well!

[Scaevola]

Nice build, the uneven floorboards are a cool feature and the build has a nice clean look. Do not dismiss NM's comment though, the walls could use some more depth and color variance. The transition from masonry bricks to plain is a little awkward (perhaps a different color to denote new material?). However overall fine work with this

[MassEditor]

Nice work Behemoth, cool little scene and the colors give a nice warmth to the build. I agree perhaps a little more detail to the walls would help, and I would definitely suggest using a brick built anvil. Not sure where that one is from but it looks a tad out of place. Anyways, I look forward to seeing more!

[MKJoshA]

I love your tan wall and I love your pictures! Your lighting is perfect!

[-Carson Haupt-]

Looks pretty good, however I agree with the others about the walls. Another tip is to stagger the floor tiles a bit so their ends don't line up perfectly. This makes it more realistic. And I feel like MassEditor is right on target regarding the anvil.

Regarding the walls, I don't have any dark tan bricks besides twenty 1x1's and about 130 of the masonry bricks. So I can't disperse the texture at all. As for the anvil, it's the BrickWarriors' anvil and I really do like it but I could always try making a brick-built anvil.

Excellent fig, that beard looks perfect!
