[WZ11:C4, Desert King] The Old Oak

The Old Oak

The Battle for Cresentthorn's Favor (WZ11:C4)

For the Desert King!

Deep in the Wither Woods there is an ancient oak, so thick and gnarled that the elves have named it the Father of the Trees, believing it to have witnessed the dawn of the forest.

The warrior Kauket had lived her entire life in the hot, sandy, desert lands – she had never seen any trees such as what was now before her.

A voice called down from the ancient limbs, “The duel may now commence.” There would be time later to admire the forest, Kauket had a High Councilman to defeat. At the base of the ancient tree, Kauket swung her khopesh at the enemy and let the thrill of the fight carry her to victory.

Thanks for having a look :)

Excellent entry! The way you made the base with the arches is great!

[Dr.Cogg]

Great Tree

[Umbra-Manis]

Very impressive!

[LordDan]

Fantastic work! The base looks great, I really like how the arches wrap around the center! This is really similar to what I had in mind for my entery, except I couldn't figure out how to fit a platform in a tree and make it look good, while you obviously figured it out. Again, great work! :)

Beautiful entry, love how you used the arches.

[Graham Gidman]

Wow, really nice work!

[Blufiji]

Beautiful tree and entry.

[Lord Vladivus]

Beautiful entry!

[Jacob Nion]

I like that tree very much. The bark looks so wrinkled, really nice effect. And the roots surrounding the base are a wonderful addition.

[Bregir]

Really nice old tree - and the platform fits in well!

[Balbo]

The tree looks great and I like posing

[Basiliscus]

Very nice tree. As mentioned by others the arches at the base are really cleverly used. Great work!

[Kai NRG]

Beautifully well done base, and the little "tree fort" looks great as well! Good work on the posing!

[Garmadon]

Superb job with that tree, Emma, excellent minifig posing and platform as well!

[Robin Creations]

Great job! That base is awesome!

[Spader]

Good work! The tree is quite impressive!

[soccerkid6]

Pretty neat how well the arches fit around those plates The tree definitely looks old, I think a few larger branches might make it look less like a stump (though maybe that's what you were going for?)

[Captain Dee]

The tree looks gnarly, old and tired...exactly what you were trying to portray, so good job! I like those leaves better than the standard green for this application. The white/tan platform is a nice addition too.
