-Carson Haupt- Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Here's my entry to Challenge I category A. Alek the Avalonian was on his way to meet up with his fellow soldiers, but he never arrived... I've actually had this built for awhile, I just now got around to posting it. Oh, and purple is my new second favorite color!

janatale Posted December 21, 2013 Oh man I agree with you about the purple, it looks great here! I know my Lego store has some purple tiles on its PAB wall, I will have to pick some up. I also love the leaning tower. Looks great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duvors Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) "The large crater known as The Fallen Angel lies at the north-western edge of the Nocturnus Desert, an arid land populated by wandering tribes of orcs, reptimen, and caniban. The Fallen Angel itself is a massive water-filled impact crater surrounded by the ruins of a long forgotten civilization, the monuments of what must have been a great people, these remains are even rumored to be built by the Kaligem empire, but this is hotly disputed in archeological circles. The water filling the crater is a strange, purple color, caused by some strange substance in the water. Strange plants and fungal growths emerge from the slime, and small islands of mud and stone form the nesting sites of the Green-Tailed Black Swan, a bird peculiar to this region."

The Yeti Posted December 23, 2013 Well the avalonian's death looks rather certain, but will the victor's be assessed an environmental protection fine for disturbing the swan's habitat? It doesn't look too pleased to have its lovely purple water tainted with blood. My favorite part of this build definitely goes to the ruined tower, it really pulls things together, good job.

Gabe Posted December 23, 2013 Really nice little vignette - i like your unconventional colour choices, they do look inhospitable! Go team Black Spire! UoP: +1 for studs up rocks and extreme environs, both simple but very effective. I would like to see more contouring for sand dunes though - as it is, it just looks like a gentle gradient rather than heaped up sand drifts. (Btw, you should put a link to this topic in the UoP registration thread if you want it to be assessed. Otherwise it might get missed.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok thanks, I thought these might be a bit small but I figured I'd give it a shot. And I have now put a link, thanks for reminding me about that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gedren_y Posted December 23, 2013 UoP DoH +1 for the Enviro and Rock credits. Same reason as Gabe. Nicely done, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gideon Posted December 25, 2013 A very good vignette with a hint of that strange crater, and the fig posing is also very good! Regarding UoP credits, I agree with previous peer reviewers that extreme environments and the rocks merit +1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
