marvelBoy123 Posted June 1, 2020 *Your entry has earned 4 XP* Farantros narrative: I never thought that I would be sad to see the back of Deysum, then again, I didn't realise that in the very same sector was a planet that was even worse - Ota. I was sent in the most unfortunate of circumstances - a murder. Administrator Lantpenn who was in charge of the Triumvirate's operations on Ota had been found dead. As the nearest impartial official who was not involved in key management I was sent from Deysum alongside Tariq J, a stormtrooper who knew many of the unit stationed on Ota. Our task was to catch the killer and I'll be honest, I have got no experience of this kind of thing. Anyway, I was escorted by Sergeant Major Coomar who on arrival gave me a quick brief of the situation. Then I was taken out to the scene of the crime. There was a small platform above the corpse with a good view point. The victim had been found dead at 7AM this morning by Coomar and a couple of troopers on a regular patrol. The crime scene had remained undisturbed until my arrival with only a small hovering medical droid sent out to check him. In these cold environments, establishing a time of death was impossible but the victim was last seen the previous evening at about 9PM. Only one set of footprints led to the victim, standard imperial boots. Given that they did not return, it was almost certainly the victim himself. Yet beside the body there was a small native statue. It looked like a ritual killing but it was hard to tell - the statue had been gently placed beside the body yet there were no footprints or disturbances in snow patterns - the body couldn't have been reached by foot or speeder. That's all I can gather for now until the inquest and autopsy. http://Murder on the Frozen World by marvelBoy123, on Flickr http://Murder on the Frozen World by marvelBoy123, on Flickr http://20200601_153742-01 by marvelBoy123, on Flickr Not my best work but more an introduction to what myself and @Tariq j are planning. I took a lot of influence from @Darth Bjorn's earlier build on Ota with the platform etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tariq j Posted June 1, 2020 Good build! As said above, we’ve got a really fun interactive story going on that should play out over the next few weeks. So please stay tuned in for more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Fisher Posted June 1, 2020 I'm excited to see where this goes! The native statue wasn't super-obvious at first look, but I see it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marvelBoy123 Posted June 2, 2020 Yeah, the statue might be better in bronze so that there is more contrast to the uniform, I'll update that later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Bjorn Posted June 2, 2020 This is a super interesting format. I'm looking forward to follow it and guess along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merc4Hire Posted June 4, 2020 Neat build and very nice work on balancing the platform. I also really like the antenna design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basiliscus Posted June 11, 2020 Some nice work on the snow, especially the sloped sections, and the platform looks suitably industrial for the style you're trying to portray. The blood on the snow looks good, although personally I might have suggested putting a couple of trans red plates at the same height as the snow so it doesn't feel like it's sitting on top. I really love your main character though, such a well put together fig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
