Captain BeerBeard Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) I spent a bit of time on this one. I now have an official title for this since I will be keeping the story going. I'm really proud of my action scenes this time. I hope you all enjoy this one. Comments and criticism are welcome! This poor ninja goes for a jump kick only to get grabed and flung onto a cut bamboo tree! This foolish ninja rushes at the old man only to feel his flying death slice! The third ninja drops out of the tree only to get stabbed. look at that swing! Give the ninja a hand! That man had to appear. "What are you doing here, Jizoo?" questioned the old man. Jizoo throws a ninja smoke bomb and runs away! The old man wonders why Jizoo was following him. "Until we meet again.." old man thinks. Here is a clean pic of my landscape. Upcoming characters Edited August 19, 2011 by Captain BeerBeard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Bluebeard Posted August 19, 2011 Good job! The forest looks even more fantastic this time, and so do the blood effects. Also, kudos on changing the vagabond's head. He looks very much like a washed-up old samurai. Bluebeard, out- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khorne Posted August 19, 2011 Nice little MOC you got there . The build, graphic elements and look of the Old Man have definitely improved over your last MOC. The story of the old guy, overwhelming and killing his opponents in a bloody combat reminds me of Zatoichi. Zatoichi is a fictional Japanese character, a blind masseur/retired samurai who travels around the country to help defenselss peasants. He kills all opposition with his blade, which is hidden in his walking cane. Here's a good movie about the character. It's the only movie I've seen about Zatoichi, but apparently there's hundreds of movies and stories out there about him. It also made me think of the 'Ninjai: the Little Ninja' flash series. You can view all chapters for free here. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out, maybe it might even inspire you ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have owned that version since around '04. I will keep trying to improve as my collection grows. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I'll check out "Ninjai". Nice! I like this one too, but you cant beet the ninja in the water on the last one Thanks, Serge. I'm glad you like this one,too. I'll beat that ninja in the water. I can't give you everything right away. Hehe, nice use of Paint here :p I love the little story you've added to the MOC here... Thank you, Rhynix. I will be going more in depth with the story in the future. For the time being I just want to build up some mystery and body count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LandShark Posted October 9, 2011 Good job, BeerBeard. I really like the looks of the vignette itself, and the ninja's look very menacing. The combination of minifigure parts is great, too. Looking forward to the next part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
