The Penguin Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) Ladies and gentlemen! Today I got all three new Castle sets at last! ) And as a well-known (world-famous ) clown-hater I couldn't help making this small vignette. I hope you'll like it. ) "We're not amused!" is a famous phrase of my favourite Queen Victoria of the British Empire. ) "Please, no more pain, your Majesty!" Comments are always very welcome! ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Edited September 16, 2009 by The Penguin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke McAwesome Posted September 16, 2009 Nice little vig! It's also very sad... I feel sorry for that poor litle guy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADHO15 Posted September 16, 2009 Poor little jester, crying in the corner. Great MOC, as always, Penguin! The chains on his wrists look good. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted September 16, 2009 The first picture sells it all for me. If you had no other pictures besides the first, I'd still give it a 10/10. THe pose of the Jester is perfect, it reminds me of a cowering dog or Golem from LOTR. Just a perfect pose. Great Vig! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gormadoc Posted September 16, 2009 What a great little MOC, its just fantastic, . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos Posted September 16, 2009 That is some great posing of the jester. I think you could improve on the walls a rest of the scene though. Maybe some texturing on the walls. And the floor is kind of bland. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commodore Hornbricker Posted September 16, 2009 Nice scene! I hope she finished him off. Clowns are creepy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted September 16, 2009 Great posing on the jester. I agree clowns are freaky, but jesters are kinda fun (as long as they don't have any face painting ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saberwing Posted September 16, 2009 Ver nice and funny MOC. I feel really sorry for that poor jester, but he might just have deserved it. btw, why is there a dark green cheese slope in jester's cell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-JD- Posted September 16, 2009 Poor Jester. Nice MOC Penguin! I think you captured the scene very well, and the Jester's position is very good, making him look like he is hiding in the corner. Keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Penguin Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) Nice little vig! It's also very sad... I feel sorry for that poor litle guy!

Great MOC, as always, Penguin! The chains on his wrists look good. Well done! Thank you very much, ADHO15! ) Yes, I really like that technique: very useful for practically all themes. ) The first picture sells it all for me.

I hope she finished him off. Clowns are creepy! Now that's cruel even by my clown-hating standarts! ) Thanks! ) Great posing on the jester. I agree clowns are freaky, but jesters are kinda fun (as long as they don't have any face painting ). Thank you. ) Indeed. Though I don't know who's more disgusting in real life jesters or clowns..... ////// As far as I know in Middle Ages jesters were usually physically or mentally troubled people. ) Ver nice and funny MOC.I feel really sorry for that poor jester, but he might just have deserved it. btw, why is there a dark green cheese slope in jester's cell? Of course, he deserved it! ) How dares he telling the truth about the Queen! ) Hm, let's consider that to be a rotten cheese piece. ) Thanks! ) Poor Jester. Nice MOC Penguin!

Perterz Posted September 18, 2009 Haha, that's awesome! Great posing on this poor lil Jester! Maybe some texture on the walls and floor will bring more detail into the scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Croissant Posted September 18, 2009 Very nice, but you must be glad that Queen Victoria isn't alive anymore because I think she wouldn't be amused by this vignette good sense of humor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M. Lupin Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) She's alive. In the hearts of those who still value victorian ideals and ideas. ) Thank you! ) Glad to see some of you are still around! I really liked this piece. It really fits Queen Victoria's personality, at least from what I've read about it. It's always bothered me how the chains won't fit on a minifig's hand, though! EDIT: Actually, looking at your profile The Penguin would make an almost exact copy of Arsene Lupin. Except for those stubby legs! I tip my hat to you and you fine taste in clothing!

The Penguin Posted September 19, 2009 Ladies and gentlemen! ) I don't want you to think of me as a cruel person, so he's a small continuation to the story..... ) After making a promise not to joke any more about the Queen's weight, the Jester was released from the prison! ) Thank you for your attention, ladies and gentlemen! ) Good day. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Blackmoor Posted September 19, 2009 The queen looks like she thinks: "Ah well, we execute him anyway." I like the way he is running out of his cell, it looks like a child running into the candy store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess Muttonchops Posted September 19, 2009 Nice MOC Penguin! Now I really want that set! The sad jester face works so well, and the Queen, she's gorgeous. Must admit, I'm curious what happens next...hmmm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth_Legois Posted September 19, 2009 Nice little MOCs I thought I was the only one who had used the chain on a minifigs wrist like that. Anyway I like both MOCs theyre very nice and simple, And its nice for a change to have a small, simple MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
