This is pretty funny and also kind of creepy! Great use of those weird colored fish and I really like the color of the swordfish on top!

haha, this is pretty funny

I really have to try out these cheese slope pillars sometime, they look so good! Great water technique too.

I'm impressed by how chilly you made this scene look by wrapping all your minifigs up tightly! Great little crane too.

The lights and moving gears in this are really fun, and I like the way it's framed by the ups and downs of the cave. Are we going to get a part 2? Because you seem to have left us hanging

Evidently I intended to shoot a breakdown shot for you and never got to it It's much too late now, but if I recall correctly, it's got two of the standard bar clips in red for the body and legs (wings and a bandana fit snugly in there, with a 1x1 round plate with hole as a stopper + tail connection), and then the head is grey-red lipstick with another bar clip in black and a hand to attach the red "hair" piece.

Avalonia Fishmaid "Who wants feet? I'd give my hair for a pair of hands though, you bet." The Mystic Isles of Avalonia are home to many an unusual creature, including the fishmaids. They're said to tend beautiful sea gardens deep in labyrinths no human could survive in. Other people claim that they spend most of their time sunbathing. Forestman "Deer haunch or rabbit stew? Who am I kidding, I'm too soft-hearted to do anything but hug trees." The forestman is always dreaming of bringing down big game, but he's never yet been able to shoot at anything with eyes. Someday he plans on going to Nocturnus to hunt monsters or some violent creature he can feel good about killing. Farm Boy "From peep to pot, I love my chickens!" The farm boy is rustic and dirty, but he loves seeing the cycle of the seasons on the farm. He's tender as possible to the little critters, but it's true that he also likes to see them again, tender as possible, on his dinner table. Brownie "The stupid humans still think it's the rabbits who get into their gardens. Ha!hahhaha!" The wee brown men of Avalonia carry off loads of garden produce every year... but in return, they sneak into human houses and mysteriously do the chores. Kaliphlin Astrologist "Sir, I have to tell you that your destiny is a most unique one. Unparalleled heights await you if you continue on your journey. --That will be two hundred gold denars." The astrologist loves to stare at the stars and try to understand their orbits with complex mathematical formulas. But no one pays him for stargazing, so he's also learned how to give great noncommittal advice. Warrior "Do you call that a weapon? My grandmother's kitchen knives were sharper than that." Now that the Queen has come to power, the warrior is getting tired of life. He's got nothing to do but coach kids who've never known what it was to charge into battle under the blazing Kaliphlinian sun with fifty pounds of armor on and life on the line. Oh for the good old days of the Kali Civil War! Desert Mummy "Oooozzz, gooooo, blop!" The slimy desert mummy is the last thing you want to see on a trip into the Siccus Badlands. His bright green goop will dissolve you from the outside in! Mitgardia Dragon Trainer "Dragons are quite a handful... the more they bite off, the more they chew!" The dragon trainer loves his dragons, but foraging enough food for them in the tough Mitgardian tundra can be quite a chore. But wherever you go, his dragons are known for their tame obedience to their owners and their dreadful ferocity to their foes! Viking "If I find you snitching cookies one more time, kiddos, you'll find out that this spike isn't just for looks!" The viking is ready for anything, from a terrible toddler to a runaway chicken to a drow invasion. With her spiked nunchuck in hand, nothing scares her on the farm or off it. Algus Fighter "Seems like the more heads you chop off, the more heads they grow!" The Algus fighter lives for the joy of hearing his axe bite into crunchy ice. He'll never let his homeland be overrun by those monsters. And he'll also never let his moustache go untrimmed. Nocturnus Four Armed Monster "No... please don't run... I won't hurt you! Snap, there goes dinner. Again." The four armed monster either has a rough sense of humor or a tremendous appetite. Most people don't stick around long enough to find out! Pottery Merchant "Only the finest clays... what's that? Queen Ylspeth's advisor? Let me guess, you're not here for the pottery..." The pottery merchant uses her trade to cover a far more delicate business. She roams every corner of the guilds, gathering news and scandal from high and low and selling it whenever she can make a profit. Wannabe Magician "Oh boy.... I'm really looking forward to regretting this." The wannabe magician knows less about mushrooms than your average cook, but that doesn't stop him from seeing how they combine with other rare plants. So far, he's only burnt down his mother's hut twice and the chicken coop three times. Oh, and he poisoned the well, which killed all the sheep... Varlyrio Chef "Tis food, tis food, that makes the world go round." Even suspicious, backstabbing Varlyrians need the chef's services. Some of the most suspicious claim that he's sometimes looked the other way with that innocent face when servants dump suspicious ingredients into his sauces, but except for the one or two people who haven't survived his meals, everyone agrees that they're delicious! Courtier "If I could venture a remark, I would remind my lord that with his great wealth, he can well afford to be comfortable." The courtier is an expert at saying whatever you want to hear in the smoothest possible voice. In return, all he asks for is a comfortable meal, a comfortable chair, and a comfortable bed. Noble "Double-cross me, and you'll wish you'd nailed yourself into a coffin instead." Nothing scares the noble's enemies worse than his minefield of a smile. Whenever his hair is just right and his smirk is at its handsomest, you know that trouble is brewing. There we are, all 16. I don't know how Avalonia got an extra one, it just worked out that way. Here's a repetition of the group shot: This series is @soccerkid6 's fault... I had no intention of building minifigures until he mentioned that he was having fun with some (by the way, I hope there's a series coming there!). As you can see, I was too lazy to try to get all my minifigures to stand up at the same time, so I edited them into a group shot instead and had a lot of fun styling it like the official series. Some of these figs are still lying around, maybe they'll make their way into a build or two. C&C welcome, can't wait to hear which ones are your favorites!

for both of those!

I have to imagine that the post is still there because it's not likely to have been deleted, but with that link being messed up, I have no idea how to find it.

So many great terrain builds everyone, it was really fun to participate in this! I especially loved the bamboo forest and sonoran.

What a beautiful wave! You make me hope for those 1x2 rounded parts in transparent colors, it works so well. Great curve on the sail too.

I love this carriage, though it looks like maybe it should have an extra pair of horses! Great job conveying a windy feel with that hat blowing off his head too.

A really dynamic build, the tentacles are so good and you chose a great color for them! Nice work on the catamaran too.

I didn't realize these elves hair pieces went so well on minifigures! Really nice figs.

That cloud sheepskin is simply brilliant! Nice well design too and the duplo sheep is so funny

I love how this scene looks so pleasant and light... and then you see her face in the mirror Great subtle floor patterns and that window print looks simply amazing. An excellent little interior scene!

That whip "roof" over the pen is pretty neat! I wonder how hard it'd be to build an entire hut like that... Fun storyline too

The lights are such a good addition to this, they really bring it to life. I also love the bell tower and that dome technique. Blue flowers are the perfect dash of color too.

Like I mentioned on Flickr, I just love that green! Very bold choice that works super well. Great textures on the stone too!

The brushes sticking up out of the cracked dirt are great, as is that awning made out of latices and the wands for the counter front! In fact, all the details on this really shine, looks like it was fun to build!

I really like that roof! The angle on the house is great too, as is the interior!

So much activity! Love the rack of capes for sale, the flock of sheep, the monkey pulling the chicken's feathers... Great job too maintaining a dry Kaliphlin aesthetic but out in a more woody area.

I'm loving the texture those incompletely attached tiles give! Really helps the rugged barn feel. Effective and realistic choice of colors for the mud too, and I always admire your skill with snowscaping! So much of this is near perfect, and it actually took me a while to realize what was bothering me about it--somehow it feels, on the main pictures, oddly closed in which has a suffocating effect given that you'd expect this to be out in a big open space. I'm not totally sure what gives it that feel--the shadow perhaps, showing that the paper its photographed on is quite close, or the close crop, or maybe it's because there really isn't much landscaping and no trees, or a combination of those things. Anyway, that's not really a criticism of the build as much as it is a wish you'd built more, another ten studs or so of landscaping in every direction would have been perfect to give the feel of being out in the Mitgardian wilds.

This looks pretty fun!
