MOC: The End of the Ancient Cave + custom Iris minifig

[Iria]

In the land of Estpolis, there is a place where warriors go test their skills; the Ancient Cave. With a depth of 200 floors, and a maze of strong foes never before seen, few have made it to the lowest most level. A lone woman stands alone at the bottom of the Ancient Cave amid the darkness and the tall crystalline structures, waiting for only the strongest warriors to reach her.

- And once they do, she challenges them to a battle. Only if they can somehow best her, will she reveal who is behind the god-like Sinistrals that will reincarnate to wreak havoc on the land every hundred or so years. Her name is Iris, and even she is not strong enough to defeat the evil and so she waits.

This MOC is my interpretation of the end of the Ancient Cave from game Lufia:The Legend Returns and the minidoll is based on the most challenging game character I’ve ever had to fight, Iris.

I started off with one of the Jungle Friends minidolls and replaced her hair with that from CMF Intergalactic Girl. I used some tacky putty and JB weld to create the dress, then impatiently painted using Testors model paint. Finally I decided to use a gold chain as her waist sash to it to move when posing her into her kneeling position. I basically started this project because I wanted something fun to do with the minidolls. I still need to figure out a way to replicate the wings though.

Thanks for looking!

Ok. good.

And how did you "light" the trans-neon bricks? Is it a photo-editing trick?

No tricks. Just need to turn on a black(UV) light and those bricks go wild.

Thanks - well, to me that is a trick. I learned something here!

I love the way the black light transforms your MOC. It has a definite mystic feel to it. Nice!

Very cool! The custom figure came out well. I haven't played that game, but the MOC reminds me a bit of some of the fairy caves in The Legend of Zelda.

Thank you. Neon bricks are a lot of fun to play with a black light on. Some blue LED lights also make the bricks glow, though not as impressively as the black light.

Thanks Vorkosigan. I loved those Legend of Zelda fairy caves... well maybe except for those freaky N64 Great Fairies.
