The Cave of the Dead

[MagPiesRUs]

Here's some more pics from my entry for the Pirate Halloween Contest.

A group of corsairs have been terrorising the seas for too long, and France (or 'the Blue Empire' :-D ) has sent a large galleon to put an end to their days of piracy. The corsairs see this ship approaching them and starts firing at it. The corsairs are outgunned, however, and soon their ship is badly damaged.

The remaining pirates evacuate the ship and hop onto small boats. One such boat contains some of the finest fighters the Barbary Coast has to offer, and it escapes into a small cave on the coast. One of the Imperial's own boats pursues them, and both crews soon realise they have made a mistake entering this dark place.

From out of the gloomy fog come the skeleton pirates, who have long haunted this place, and begin to attack the unlucky crews.

The corsairs (most of them at least) bravely defend themselves against these pirates of death. (There's me in the turban X-D )

The Imperial captain hasn't noticed this threat yet, but his soldiers certainly have ("Skeleton behind me? What skeleton behind me?" :-D )

The corsairs continue to fight with the vicious skeletons..

..But the undead continue to overrun them, and their deaths are almost certain..

Now the Minifigs:

The Corsairs:

The Imperial Soldiers:

The Undead #1:

The Undead #2:

...And the whole cast! Take a bow, everyone!

Finally, a photoshopped version, for added spookiness 8-| *skull* :

Enjoy!

Wow, cool! Great use of the BURPs, creative methods of sticking the skellies in place, nice details too. The especially like the skellie in the barrel (:-D) and the Imperials running away! X-D Good idea with the EF robot hand as a peg-leg, and that last pic is really cool too! *y*

~Peace

A very neat creation, with a very good variety of characters and an atmosphere like

something straight from a decent action movie. :'-)

I especially like your great Skellies like the one in the barrel and these two with the

chains and the steering wheel.... Very cool! *y*

Seeing this sort of thing puts me to shame for not having or knowing how to use photoshop. It's also a pity that there aren't any other holidays that lend themselves so creatively as Holloween.

[Captain Green Hair]

Very nice review, is especially like the photoshopped picture! *y*

[Errorist]

nicely done *y*

That photoshopped picture really adds to the sense of panic *skull*

[Mister Phes]

This was the entry I voted as most scariest because of all the marauding skeletons. Oh what a frightening an event it would be to see all those ghastly undead charging towards you. Now I know how those orcs in Return of the King must have felt.

[Lt. Col. Thok]

Very nice! I also voted for you - it is ...*wub*

[Mister Phes]

You for voted for me? You're too kind Mr. Lt. Col. Thok. Oh wait a minute, you mean Mr TinyPiesRUs's MOC.

[MagPiesRUs]

Thanks everyone *sweet*

I've resized my photoshopped image, might resize the rest when I don't have exams

[Mister Phes]

Blast those exams! They're always detracting from more important things like resizing pictures for the pirate forum X-D

All the best with those anyway!

Exactly :-D And thanks Mr Phes. I've now got one more to go :-/

[Mister Phes]

Just to be blatantly off topic... What are studying?

[MagPiesRUs]

Well my final exam is German.. I'm also doing history, art (as you might've noticed X-D) and the normal others.

Once again, thanks everyone (especially those who voted for me X-D :-P )

[Mister Phes]

Ok, lets continue the interview on topic... X-D

What was your inspiration behind Cave of the Dead? Were you influenced by any forms of fiction?
