Mushroom Collecting in the Swamps

Recommended Posts

Not every alchemist has a supermarket around the corner stocked with mystical ingredients. Some actually have to work for those supplies, like this old wizard. His apothecary research requires mushrooms, and there is perhaps no better place to find them than in the Nocturnian swamps. The only problem is not finding yourself on the menu when traveling through the swamp - the critters here are mysterious and dangerous. Old-timers say only fools would venture the swamps alone. Perhaps this wizard has just sampled too much of his own product...

So... still no chapter build from me. Unfortunately "real life" has had me occupied lately but had some time to spend with the bricks the other night and threw this little freebuild together. Nice thing about Arkansas is that I basically just had to look out the window for inspiration - it's real swampy around here! Anyways, thanks for looking. Feedback always appreciated!

Nice build, ME!

The trees are realistic with the fungus on the trunk! The dead tree with the 'gator hiding underneath looks great as well. I like the way you make the swamp water with the SNOT dark green bricks, and the protruding black spikes help with the overgrown feel of a swamp. The wizard's coracle is simply nice as well!

Arkansa our Loursiana was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the pics without reading what you had written, although I haven't been there myself yet. Sure would like to go though ...

Anyway, fantastic build and very inspirational. Guess I have to start building bigger trees too because I really love those!

First pic seems to have disappeared (or can the others still see it?).

Second pic looks good - I've never seen so many dark green bricks, and I would not have thought that they would make up a great swamp - but they do!

Thanks Slegengr! Though I've used it in another build, the gator head ended up being my favorite part. Glad you liked the cypress knees too!

Thanks Kabel! You bring the mead, I'll take you out there myself!

Amazing build!

Glad you liked it!

Nice techniques :) I like the placement of the crocodile/dragon head under the roots of the tree. As always great moc! :)

Thanks!

Lovely build ME! Captures the swamp perfectly and i love those trees! :thumbup:

Hail Nocturnus! :devil:

Indeed! Thanks Jorrith!

Thanks Captain Braunsfeld, for both the comment and the notice! Don't know what happened there, but it's fixed now.

This has a tense feeling that pulls you into the subject matter. Love the fungus on the trees. Sweet MOC!

Love this, especially the realistic fungal growth on the trees and the way they tower over the scene. I can't believe I've never seen that technique for fungus crescents before but it makes so much sense it just dazzles.

Another brilliant swamp build :wub: The trees look spectacular, especially the addition of fungi, and the snake :thumbup:

The stump and tangle of branches are great too :classic:

Patrick you are the swamp master! :laugh:

Excellent once again. I particularly like the trees (those fungus are an excellent idea) but the little boat is top notch!

Haha, thanks a lot Evan! I think the fungus helped break up the squareness of the trees too.

Fantastic build!

So are those black pieces attached to Your swamp somehow? Or is it all just standing on it? I can't figure that out realy :blush:
