[MOC] Mail Time!

[Umbra-Manis]

Hello everyone, I'm back to moccing for the summer so I'm here to share my random character build that was inspired by the recent Iron forge! (hence the minifigure legs)

C&C Welcome always! I also have instagram now, so I can be followed there @umbramanis

Fun little scene! At least the mailman can get the dog distracted by the ball being thrown so he can safely walk by. I like the construction of the face, it’s different from what is usually done at that scale. 

I know my eyes are deceiving me, but that dark red brick brick looks like reddish brown.

Thanks! This is my first foray into the world of characters at this kind of scale so I just went with my first instinct.

And I believe your eyes are correct, I didn't use a single piece of dark red and they are in fact reddish brown bricks. Originally I had dark red and dark orange but I changed them to brown.

Where did you get those bricks in reddish brown? They aren’t listed on either a Brickset or Bricklink. I didn’t think they made them in that color.

This is a render, so I didn't get them anywhere  I part check a lot of my models for real part existence but this was not one of them

Well now I feel dumb. That’s either an amazing render...or my eyes are getting horrible. Or both.
