Fishin'

[NewRight]

We watch the peaceful side of some of the Orcs. Rather than the war demons we normally think of them as.

Enjoy!

A very nice scene! I like the SNOT very much! I must get some transparent bricks for my rivers too.

That must be one strong fish as its pulling the poor orc in half!

Keep up the good work.

Ecxellent way of creating the water; both the smoothness and the disturbance made by the wading orc. Nice beach, too, I like the way it just slopes into the water. I also like the provisions he has set down behind him, is the lion cloth self-made? Is the grey on the shore supposed to be rocks? Great MOC.

A very peaceful quiet scenery, which illustrate the peace loving orcs? I am not sure on how peaceful can these orcs be. Certainly true enough, this creation of yours has displayed the fisherman orc as a civillan instead of a warrior which wreck havoc onto the humans. It's very nice to see this river side, by making use of SNOT technique. Nice moc.

Thank you for all the positive feedback. And Jim the lion cloth is from the Troll In the BathRoom set back in 2002 from the Harry Potter line. Also I was trying to make a stone pathway with the bley, but it may not have turned out the greatest. I was also tempted to added a house in the back but...

more and more snot ^^ I love it! world need snot!

This is not a criticism towards NewRight's MOC, which looks beautifully serene and has a really nice idea behind it (I'm all for civilian trolls), but I'm not such a big fan of the SNOT-technique, especially if it's used in every surface of a creation.

In my opinion the studs of LEGO bricks give a nice texture to LEGO buildings (especially ground and sand looks much better with studs than just flat), and the studs can be used in innovative ways as well.

My point is, we're not dealing with Playmobil here, the studs belong to LEGO bricks and they shouldn't be something to be avoided. Don't be ashamed of revealing your studs!

[Guss]

If you check my creation, there is not a lot of snot ^^ I like how studs looks and makes things looks " legotized " ^^ I just like it sometimes in some creations, and I think this one is nice like it ^^

[NewRight]

I'm not afraid to show studs. I actually wanted studs on the path, but ironically found it easier to build without studs. Maybe something to work on.

I like the moc as a whole (I love the water), but the terrain looks like one of those old, pixel-y, TurboGrafix games.

Al a so:

I like what you've got going on here; the arrangement of the bundle is perfect, and the trans-water fits in nicely.

Regarding the SNOTtyness, I would have gone for a bley "overlay" for the path - building it out of plates and putting it on top of the SNOT. If this doesn't work, a scattering of 1x1 round plates and 1x1 plates on the path work well.

Using more plates in the SNOT to give smoother angles (as opposed to bricks) could reduce the "pixellyness" too

I see you've filled the background in pure white, but it has filled in some areas of the MOC aswell, making the whole thing look "bleached out". I'd suggest using the colour exchanger/replacer tool instead, as it gives more control over the areas that are whitened.

Is there any chance we could get an unedited photo for comparison?

I really like the way the water came out. There is a sense of movement to it.
