Sir Dillon Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 The first scene is simple but nice. I like the use of the game piece as the baby. The horse heads as toy horses in the second scene is great, but I'm not sure I understand the castles they built - what are they supposed to be made of? The action looks good in the third scene, though if possible I think the wall should be higher. I also don't think it makes sense to have the maiden with the knight while the battle is still in progress. She should probably stay off to the side until everything is safe. Overall a good little series. Quote
Inconspicuous Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I really like this series you've built! Quite a bit of story is packed into each one, yet nothing feels crowded. I like the nice, tidy house in the first one. The game piece baby is a nice technique, as well as the nice wall decorating. This part of the set looks quite sleek and professional. The second one doesn't make as much sense, but is still cool. I agree with Sir Dillon that the colored castles, don't make much sense, but the mini catapults are pure win. I'm also a fan of the toy horses you've made, although I cringe thinking of how you got them. The last one seems to be the weakest of the three. The fire catapult is a little close IMHO. Also, I again agree with Sir Dillon that the wife shouldn't be in the middle of the battle. However, I do like the expression on the guy behind the wall's face. I like the jagged look of the wall. Overall, a nice trio. They seem to lose quality as the story progresses, but the techniques and ideas used are genius. Thanks for sharing. Quote
