Stefan Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Happy Towel Day! flickr | Brickshelf "And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?" I built this hilarious scene from Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" for my LUG's latest vignette contest an decided to wait for Towel Day to upload it. Best regards, Stefan Edited May 25, 2013 by Stefan Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I love that whale The vignette is fun and very well made. Good job Quote
Darkdragon Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I love this. Excellent job! It's perfect. That whale is amazing. Quote
Henchmen4Hire Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Looks like the Wind Fish ran out of gas lol Quote
Spitfire2865 Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 This is one of my favorite events in the entire HHGTTG series. The whale looks amazing. Quote
DraikNova Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Awesome. And now to look for things to nitpick.....dum-dee-dum....Ok, the only error compared to the book is probably the surface of the planet, which should be barren. I can understand why you chose to change it, to make it more visually interesting. Quote

Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now." Thanks for this, I've just started reading the series and this part in the book made me go into tears of laughter for a good couple of minutes. The whale's expression is perfect!

dr_spock Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Great job. Like your whale. Now to put on the peril sensitive glasses. Quote
jonwil Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Nice, really captures the feel and humor of HHGTG. Quote
Big Sal Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Awesome Love the whale's face! Edited May 26, 2013 by Big Sal Quote
Capt. Redblade Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Brilliant. This scene was when I truly knew I loved Hitchhiker's Guide. Quote
Flying Ace Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Hitchhiker's heck yeah! I think your MOC may have better special effects than the original TV series! Seriously, I love the white "motion lines" above the subjects (I am sure they have some official cartooning name). Great MOC. Quote
Praiter Yed Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Very funny vignette of a very funny scene - I also think the 'motion lines' are a nice touch and the whale is well done. Quote
Kivi Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 This is awesome! The whale is simply amazing. I've been thinking for a long time about re-creating a scene from HHGTTG in such a fashion but couldn't come up with anything yet. Though your creation will certainly give me some inspiration. Hope you did well in the contest. Quote
MikroMan Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Love the whale! This is one of my favourite scenes in the series. Quote
