mccoyed Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Thanks Bas. I Challenge 2 hasn't been announced yet, though. I would be that the deadline won't be til well into spring either. Seems like things are slowing down again after the initial surge when Book 3 launched. Hope I'm wrong. EDIT: Saw that build on Flickr, Bas. It's awesome. Great 2d scene.

Yeah, my understanding is Challenge II starts 15th December and ends 31st January, I think @Rogue Angel mentioned that in another thread. I think there's been a lack of activity in the run up to Xmas, hopefully things will pick up again next year. Thanks for the comments on the build - just gonna get dinner and upload the other two MOCs. Quote

mccoyed Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Yeah, yeah. :P I got cynical during the last year. Hopefully my optimism is rekindled! I didn't really think about it being Xmas so probably you guys are right and this is a brief seasonal slump. Quote
Basiliscus Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 That's my free builds and associated story up: Quote

I've noticed that there's usually a slowdown around this time due to both holidays and everyone feverishly building for the CCC. Quote
mccoyed Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Nice. Lots of activity today. I stand corrected, y'all! Quote
Muakhah Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 I have a question as I was thinking of ideas for future builds. The other guilds have an animal associated with them, Dragon, Bear, Lion, Serpent. And the queen is associated with the Unicorn. Does Varlyrio have an animal associated with it? Quote
MaasEffekt Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 We could use this, if we want an animal. Some kind of bird. It is two sided like a coin. Like Varlyrio. Beautiful, but got a dark side too. Quote

Beautiful, but got a dark side too. It’s a cool symbol. I am not sure if the falcon has already been used by any factions. Reminds me of the Maltese Falcon a bit. Quote
Basiliscus Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 I'm not sure if we have or need a specific animal. Medieval heraldry was full of very similar designs, so no one animal was used exclusively by one family. I'd say pick whatever shields make sense for you! Quote
MaasEffekt Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Hello! My new moc for the Guild Challenge 2E Varlyrio Scenery - Sunken City. Hope you like it! Edited December 19, 2018 by MaasEffekt Quote
mccoyed Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Nice, Maas. You beat me to the Sunken City!!! Quote

Medieval heraldry was full of very similar designs, so no one animal was used exclusively by one family. I'd say pick whatever shields make sense for you! It was more to refer to them in a poem or story symbolically. So if it read the Dragon placed the Unicorn on the throne then people would know it actually refers to Avalonia and the current Queen. As Varlyrio doesn’t have one yet I guess I’ll pick based on whether the in character story teller has a positive or negative view of Varlyrio. Quote
Rogue Angel Posted December 20, 2018 Author Posted December 20, 2018 Varlyrio can be referred to as the Seahorse, Viper, Kraken, Fish, Horse, Hydra... Quote
Garmadon Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Finally got that family vig posted - another and larger one to come in a few days here! (Picture linked to topic) Quote
Basiliscus Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Nice work @Garmadon! Another great addition to your family. So who's planning to build for Challenge II? I've built about 30% of a Category C entry and I've got ideas for the other two categories. All going well I'd like to enter them all. Would be good to hear who plans to enter because we will need as many points as possible! Quote
Garmadon Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Thanks Bas! I'm planning on at least a Cat. C - I may get to enter one of the other two as well (Cat. B sounds like it could be quite neat), but I've got such a quantity of things to build for such a quantity of different things that I'm not entirely sure I'll have time for more than one I do hope to finish up my family vigs pretty soon though! 16 minutes ago, Basiliscus said: I've built about 30% of a Category C entry and I've got ideas for the other two categories.

I’m back to building now though. Quote
Garmadon Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Another build from me! And check out the new family members and their descriptions here. (Picture linked to topic) Quote
mccoyed Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) I'm working on something for Category B but I don't want to spoil it (I will say it's another big, ambitious build by my standards). Just hoping no one has the same idea. I should be done pretty early too and may do something for Cat A or C as well. Edited December 27, 2018 by mccoyed Quote
Basiliscus Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Good luck @Garmadon, @ZlatanXVIGustaf and @mccoyed, hope you all manage to enter something this time round. What about @Andrew Spader and @MaasEffekt, do you guys have plans to enter? Quote
mccoyed Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 I had this idea for Challenge 1 that was just... way too much with the stuff I had going at the time. I wanted to do a new university in Cedrica with colleges for each Guild (and appropriate architecture) as a kind of modular build. Then I realize I would never get that done in the window I had so I thought maybe a monument and then I was just out of time haha. The one I'm working on now is 20% or so done. I work fast so it just needs a couple more sit-downs and it'll be ready to maybe show a WIP. Quote
