PTV 2015 small: Trolling Atlantis

[Dannylonglegs]

Thar she blows! My entry to this glorious contest! Here to we may observe Dannylonglegs' infamous "Vertical" approach to vignette making!

The Oleon warn that these waters be cursed. They say that once upon a time, there were an Island here, inhabited by wicked people... They say that King Neptune sunk the Island to the sea and made its inhabitants into creatures of the depths as punishment for their heathen ways... But the merchants of Eslandola care little for that superstition... at least not the fishermen aboard this particular ship! Instead, they've grown to love the local waters, as the fish here are abundant! Including the delicious Manatees, as the ship's physician calls them.

Yes! Manatees are delicious! Once you split the light meat from the dark meat, that is.

The only downside is the screams. They sound... human. In fact, their cries for help have driven the captian to insomnia... but you know what they say: "A good captain can't fall asleep."

And who might this knowledgeable scientist be? Why, that'd be physician Long! Born into a family of wealth, Physician Long attended University in Corrington, where she learned her trade, and now she works as a physician and Naturalist for the benefit of the Eslandola trade empire! Particularly the West Octania Trading Company.

Physician Long: "You should have alerted me earlier of your condition. Judging by the smell alone, I'd say your leg has gone Gangrenous. There's nothing to do other than amputate. I'm going to need you to bite this bullet. This is going to hurt. A lot."

Patient: "Can't I get a drop o' rum to anesthetize meself?"

Physician Long: "No. You've drunk your quota for this pay period. Hold still."

The Inhabitants of the local waters are none too happy about the increase in fishing. But perhaps that's part of their punishment by Neptune. Perhaps they should have been better humans.

So much gore. I love the ship, atlantis underwater place, and everything. Blood, check. Gore, check. Great build, check. :thumbup: Great build.

Ahh! Thank you!

I should hope I met my Gore quota! Those Guts are all quite snugly connected, too!

Amazing.:D

Yikes, that's pretty shocking what's happening to that mermaid! Lovely coral too. Very nice build, definitely out for blood.

[dr_spock]

Bloody nice. Like a rated R version of the TV show, Adventures of Pirates with Scientists.

[MiloNelsiano]

Very nice and vibrant underwater scene! I really like the water as well, the whole build looks very nice together. I'd like to see a little better overview shot however.

Great entry! The curved hull is really cool and the blood seeping through the floor is a great touch.

[Capn Frank]

Great entry. That coral looks great. Great use of the leaves from the Elves sets.

[Staslegomaster]

Judging by the number of the underwater creatures the poor but taisty mermaid will soon be revenged! Show goes on!

[Tezclatipoca]

Wow ! Great MOC ! Very clever use of pieces for your coral reef !

And you are starting building for Eslandola ! Great !

[BrickOn]

Cool coral reef and the splitting if the manatee is really well done (and quite hard to look at after reading the story). Awesome entry :-)

This is a creative use of the limited amount of space. The ship portion looks pretty good, but the underwater portion is fantastic. Those vibrant colors make it look so real I want to reach out and touch it. You've made good use of parts, too - the colorful hairbrushes, hairpieces, even the big mask/headdress piece. That's possibly the best underwater build I've seen yet. Very good work.
