Problems in Southern Graystar (Freebuild)

[IenjoyLego89]

Just another quick freebuild

(only noticed that the camera angle is a bit wierd )

Wanted to to try and improve the texturing for the grass on my builds, so hopefully I pulled it off. Also wanted to see if I can try and improve my trees

I also wanted to attempt blood splatter and posing for the dead minifig, not sure if it worked

All C&C welcome

[Garmadon]

Nice build, IenjoyLego, great minifig posing and foliage

As for the trees, I wouldn't advise putting both those kinds of trees next to each other like that, as they are two entirely different styles

Interesting angle on the first pic as well

Nice job!

[-Carson Haupt-]

I like it! Really feels like the edge of a clearing to me.

Yeah, the foliage and posing are top notch. I do think you pulled off the blood spatter effect nicely. I agree with Garm about the trees, though.

[Hammerhand]

Good job on the dense foliage, it really works well. I actually kind of disagree with Garm and Mcc, as the mix of pine and deciduous trees is pretty usual in a forest.

Looks really great with your minifigs! I'm with hammerhand in the tree debate!:) mixed forests are very common.

[Gunman]

Great minifig posing and splatter effect man...!!

That's a good point. My criticism is just that it needs a bit more development, then, to evoke that nice mix. Maybe a few more trees or some color variation would have given it that effect better, I'm not sure!

Thanks Garmadon :) I was sitting on the fence of whether putting the pine trees in but I wanted to see how they worked :) ha the first angle is intriguing ha :)

Thanks mccoyed :) I think I'm going to be more careful with my tree selection next time lol but I'll keep it in mind for my next build :)

Thanks Hammerhand. That's what I was going for with the foliage. I must order a lot more of those leaf pieces soon :)

Thanks de Gothia :) didn't think I would cause such a split over trees haha :)

Unfortunately I don't own a vast selection of leaf pieces or pieces for trees :/ pretty much my entire collection is in that moc :( but I'll try and order some soon and keep your advice in mind for the next time :)

Looks great!

Thanks vitreolum :)

Nice scene, very lush, appealing foliage. Nice job with the trees as well, though the taller ones could use some more leaves.

[Yzalirk]

Very nice MOC and it's good to see some tests from time to time, I think you did good with it.

Thanks Scaevola, I agree that they could use more leaves but I ran out unfortunately :/

Thanks behemoth :) I got to start testing more and try and improve my building skills

The underbrush is excellent! The trees however I think could use some tinkering. The leafy ones are too flat and the spiky ones are too narrow in my opinion. Not sure what pieces you have available but maybe you can try some different designs?

[Bregir]

I really like the landscaping, and it really does look like he fell in the middle of the undergrowth.

Well done.

[Lord Vladivus]

Nice! I like the leafy feel! Great blood spatter too!

[mccoyed]

You did a lot with a little, then, I'd say!

Thanks Mike S :) unfortunately trees ain't my strong suite. But I'm gonna try and improve it in the next couple of builds I have planned.

Very good foliage on the ground To help your trees not be so top heavy, you can place the leaf elements at various heights on the trunk:
