Kai NRG Posted April 15, 2015 The sneaky Desert King gang was having a good time. They sure had duped the Ulandians! In fact, it was so much fun that they decided they might as well as exceed their orders a touch and go ahead and keep it up for a day or two. But they rigged up the hoax one time too many! With all the fright caused by the Hippocampus' dreadful words, it should be no surprise that all Ulandian parents strictly forbade their children from going anywhere near to the cliff where it was known to appear. But Ulandian children are just like all other children in Kaliphlin, and no sooner did they hear that the place was forbidden than they snuck off to explore! In gleeful awe they heard the words of the Hippocampus: Ulandus, Ulandus Beware the sea! Do not forget What thy fate may be. (Poem credit to Robuko.) But one of the boys got a bit tired of sitting around and listening to the fateful chant. He poked his nose into the rocky crevasses and soon discovered a little something! With a little clever use of land formation and common "magic" tricks, the DK was just faking it all out! The UIandians wrote a poem to commemorate the discovery. Children, Children, Beware the DK! Do not believe them, No matter what they say! In days of old they foretold, The vengeance of the sea. They sang their song but they were wrong, They messed up on their history! Ulandus, Ulandus, You shall rise up! You shall have the highest score! For the hoax and the jokes of the Desert King Will be believed no more! OOC: I went for a slightly cartoonish look on the old Hippocampus - part of why I made him a good deal thinner, more like a cardboard imitation. And I wanted to show that the Desert King, far from ruling everything and being Kaliphlin's rightful ruler, is just a big, big hoax. Yeah, I had a good time with this one. C&C appreciated!

Umbra-Manis Posted April 16, 2015 Well darn... Every creature build we make gets turned into something ridiculous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted April 16, 2015 Again it is clear that the socalled "wonders" of the "god-king" are as false as his own claim to the Throne of Kaliphlin! Brilliant counter, Kai - I like how you have recreated the whole scene, yet still given your own interpretation of the beast. Together with Rogue Angel's countermagic, I think you have this one coveredquite well - will be some interesting voting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soccerkid6 Posted April 20, 2015 Very clever counter, though that DK guy running the beast must be pretty darn strong Excellent cliff and I like the loose brick water here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted April 21, 2015 Ha, ha, excellent twist on that Hippocampus, Kai, brilliant counter! Fantastic landscaping here as well, and the water technique looks quite nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted April 21, 2015 Funny, funny - so true to the original design, yet unique in its own right. The rocks are good, the boys are kind of cute and the red-on-black border is eye-popping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks again! Very clever counter, though that DK guy running the beast must be pretty darn strong Excellent cliff and I like the loose brick water here Yes, I suppose so, although it is probably just lightweight cloth blown up to size. Wind would make the job more difficult though! Thanks! Ha, ha, excellent twist on that Hippocampus, Kai, brilliant counter! Fantastic landscaping here as well, and the water technique looks quite nice! Thank Garmadon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
