de Gothia Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) When spring meets summer festivals are held all over Avalonia. They are called Samhradh and celebrated to life, the light and love. Maypoles are seen in every village and in Benoic there is no execption. C&C as always welcome! Edited January 31, 2019 by de Gothia Quote
Muakhah Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Very nice outdoors festival. I like the wreaths hanging from the green cross. The vegetation and path are nice (I especially like the army men base in the path for an irregular green bit) The musicians and food on display are great and the whole scene has a strong village celebration vibe. The flags and stands with bunting and shades also are done really well. I'd like to see more close ups in the post to see more detail. The overall shot looks great but some bits, like the goats I would like to see more of. Quote
de Gothia Posted February 1, 2019 Author Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks muakhah! Some more pics would indeed be great, but as always time was against me! Quote
Grover Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Very nice! I love your builds. The Avalonia you portray is very lush and vibrant, and you seem to do it without having an insane amount of weird vegetation pieces somehow. It looks great. I think one of the things that really stands out is how you manage to get subtle elevation changes that help give the piece some life. The irregular shaped positioning of the poles and people (i.e., not right angles for everything) helps distract from the studs and the grid they are naturally laid out on. The flowers, plants, and other flora look very natural as well. Very nice job! Quote
Kai NRG Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Great job on the hanging wreaths, a fairly simple way to achieve them but also pretty brilliant! The whole scene looks nice and festive. Quote
Basiliscus Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 It looks like a lively scene - a great variety of minifigs and activities. Great work on the maypole, those new leaf pieces are incredibly useful. I agree that more close up shots would be really helpful to see the details. Quote
Gideon Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Lovely festivities, I really like the variety of figures you've put in there Great Midsummer feeling you’ve managed to capture, seems like an occasion when people have laid down their daily toils just to enjoy themselves for a while? I assume that these kind of occasions is what's keeping the Avalonian population growth going? Quote
en_zoo Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Very nice, dG. I think you really captured the atmosphere of a spring festival! I love all the activity, a lot of details but not too many, colours are nice and relaxing Quote
Bracari Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Great festival scene. I do especially like the Pole, it is really well build and gives a lot of atmosphere to the scene. Minifigs variety and posing are good. I also like the angled elements in the build. Very nice. Edited February 4, 2019 by Bracari Quote
de Gothia Posted February 9, 2019 Author Posted February 9, 2019 Thanks for the comments! Have to think about some closeups as I do put some effort in to making some facial expressions and putting the figs into intresting positions. Gideon; as we have in Sweden, many kids are born nine months after some holidays! Quote
Servertijd Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Very nice! I really like the pole, and how alive this scene feels. Well done! Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Nice build I Like the idea of spring festival. This green vegetable post is nice ! Good job ! Quote
Rogue Angel Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Excellent work on this one DG! Great execution on the maypole, your spacing around your build works well with the goats, the cart, the feast - it looks full but not overcrowded. I like the tent, the stringline and your strategic use of greenery. Great job! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Everyone looks to be having a good time at this summer festival! Beautiful use of color with the various greens and pops of brighter colors from the tents and figs I like that large barrel stand using inverted arches, and will have to remember it for my own builds. Quite a herd of goats too Quote

Henjin_Quilones Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Lovely Avalonian countryside scene! I like all the details of the celebrations, especially all of the food on the tables and the Maypole. The pastoral nature of the scene is quite peaceful. Nicely done! Quote
