Exetrius Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Sorcerer of the Smothering Sands There are stories of dark and ancient powers, lying buried throughout the Desertlands. Those who believe in tales like these are often mocked. Few have the hope and courage to look for these relics, and even fewer have ever caught a glimpse what they really are. Of course, there have been people claiming to have witnessed bizarre events. Events unlike any type of natural disaster or magic known to Kaliphlin. Unbelievable events... Yet, those who seek, may eventually find. And when they do, the heavens tremble and the earth surges! They awaken.. the Smothering Sands... More pics: Spoiler Hi everyone! Here's a small little freebuild, continuing in the Kali setting. Built for the Summer Joust 2017 contest, 8x8 vig category. I revised the base several times, but I'm satisfied with the result. Anyway, C&C is much appreciated! Quote
TitusV Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Though I really like that base, I find it hard to make out the black part. But hey, whatever it is: great use of these spiders!!! Quote

The black part is one such ancient artifact, built with spiders around a travis brick, star wars guns of different lengths and flippers. Check out the images in the spoiler, should make sense now.

Henjin_Quilones Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 The microfig with the headdress is a fun detail, getting it in proper scale. The purple swirls are well-used, but overall, the build does seem a bit unfinished. I think the studs on the base are what cause me to feel that way about it. It is a great idea, and the sense of menacing power is well captured. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Really unique and clever build The vortex dishes certainly add to the magical look of the scene, and that fig is very well done. Quote
Gunman Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 It was a bit hard to recognize the microfig, but its really funny, wearing that (great) helmet. Nice base too man Quote
Blufiji Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 I can see why you used the pieces you did to bring the shape of the base to life. Nice work! Quote
Exetrius Posted July 13, 2017 Author Posted July 13, 2017 @Henjin_Quilones @soccerkid6 @Gunman @Blufiji Thanks guys for your feedback and compliments! I have to admit that I have mixed feelings about the base as well, so next time I will try to make it less 'rough', while still maintaining the sense of dynamic movement. Quote
