jtooker Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Relic Ruminator In a richly pained salon off the noble quarter, Myndros the Minotaur balances a porcelain teacup between careful fingers, candlelight tracing a hairline in the glaze. “Ah, Pre Historica craftsmanship. Fired in the kilns of Barqa, no doubt. Note the cobalt flourish—an artisan’s flourish, not a court commission.” Still a bard of Historica, Myndros learned his lore on the road, trading songs for secrets in guild halls and market squares. Summoned by nobles and fine merchants alike, all those in the room yearn to learn from the knowledge of the Relic Ruminator. Spoiler I created this scene for the Guilds of Historica’s Book IV Prelude Challenge: “Those who can… Teach”. The bookshelf design is by unknown. Quote
MKJoshA Posted September 1 Posted September 1 I like your rounded base that shows off the Kali flag. I also really like your knife case. Quote
LordDan Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Nice take on the bull in a China shop concept! The display case and furniture are great. The Kali logo on the side is a nice touch, but I'm not a fan of blue showing through the top. Quote
Seagull King of Vaughan Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Good job getting all the detail into a small, rounded area! It looks like a very respectable place. ‘Pre-Historica craftsmanship’ gave me a laugh! Quote
mrcp6d Posted September 2 Posted September 2 The wood floor is perfectly executed at this small scale with the SNOT technique and as others have said, the display case on the right is a standout. Great work in a small footprint! Quote
Kai NRG Posted September 3 Posted September 3 Whoa, somebody sound the alarm! Have we found the original bull in a china shop?! Really nice furniture in here, nice to see a rounded base too--clever way to get the Kaliphlin colors in there! Quote
MrLind Posted September 3 Posted September 3 I like the round foundation. It gives a softness to the build. Quote
The Stad Posted September 3 Posted September 3 An excellent assortment of relics, and an impressive brick-built Minotaur head! My only critique is that I think the door frame would have been better in white to match the un-printed edges of the wallpaper bricks. Quote
SimWies Posted September 3 Posted September 3 A really nice little scene and the round base is something fresh and different. Great build! Quote

The display case and furniture are great. The Kali logo on the side is a nice touch, but I'm not a fan of blue showing through the top. It is a little better in person, but I had hoped the blue would not have shown through as much and it is very obvious from the photos.

Agreed; between the space and time restrictions this was one of the corners I had to cut. Quote
Ben S Posted September 7 Posted September 7 Really solid base, I like the contrast of browns on the floor. The knife case is great. What I like most is that small bookshelf, the columns are fantastic! I might use that technique for future builds. Quote
Professor Thaum Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Lovely entry. Again the minotaur steel the show Quote
