Captain Braunsfeld Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Guided by what Rum'Or had told them, the mercenaries moved on deeper into the island. They stopped on a small mountain top, bedazzled by what had come into their sight: "What on earth is that?" Swash Buckler called out. "Looks like an ancient pyramid to me", Scarlett Pontellinova replied. "According to our friend here to the right, this might be dangerous", Clara Brickinson added. "But what is this black thing on top of it?" Ram Brandt asked. "We'll find out", Swash Buckler said. "We'll find out". (to be continued) ...

Professor Thaum Posted August 26, 2018 Yo !! This forced perspective is awesome !!! GREAT ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) You and your clouds... That is an excellent use of forced-perspective. The whole scene is nicely balanced, and the forest of micro-trees looks good around the pyramid. But... but... no monkeys?! Oh, wait, I forgot they're all busy mining bananarite. Or eating it, or whatever. The story is intriguing, as usual. Keep it up. Edited August 27, 2018 by Captain Dee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keymonus Posted August 26, 2018 Great job with the forced perspective! The mountain in the background and the micro-pyramid are very nice. I’m looking forward for the next part! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Wolf Posted August 27, 2018 I'm always a sucker for a good forced perspective MOC, and this is excellent! My favorite detail is the transition in how the distant trees are built. Super! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are some monkeys in the MOC but maybe they are to small to be seen. 19 hours ago, Keymonus said: Great job with the forced perspective!

Ayrlego Posted August 28, 2018 I love how you scale the palm trees down as they get more distant. As others have said, you're really good at this forced perspective business - great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
