shmails Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) ---------- Start Log --------- Landed on G07 today. Good news and Bad news......the good news is that I found a very large source of water deep inside the forest. The bad news is that the forest is home to some rather large, territorial butterflies that did not appreciate me walking under their nests in my Recon Walker. They attacked in numbers and I barely made it back to my shelter intact. Serves me right, I could be having fun in the lava with my buddies, but nooooooo I had to volunteer. Mom would be so proud of me now! ---------- End Log ---------- Full Album with larger pictures: https://www.flickr.com/photos/31157752@N04/sets/72157653075889606 Enjoy!

Dannylonglegs Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Wow. A masterpiece. Flawless in concept and construction. 10 stars. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Commander Turtle Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I do like this scene. The trees are curious though, they look like they keep growing in the trunk while the leaves always stay near the top! Quote
Lady K Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Very Nice! Those are some large butterflies! Well done on the build and the story. Edited May 24, 2015 by Lady K Quote
pombe Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 ROFLMAO! This is a great scene! The trees are curious though, they look like they keep growing in the trunk while the leaves always stay near the top! Palm trees do exactly this. Monocots versus dicots, and all that. Quote
Commander Beltar Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Love the build! The walker looks really cool, as well as the butterflies! I also like how you've left a trail in the terrain! Quote
NuckElBerg Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Nice, good looking idea! Would it be possible to post any higher resolution pictures? I'd love to see even more details! Quote
narbilu Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 You are on a roll. What a stunning build, again! Quote
WickNole Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 It is not so often when I like the story even more than the awesome build. This is one of these times. Quote
Jody Meyer Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Oohhh where is my butterfly net? Ha nice build. Quote
Kai NRG Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Very nice build Shmails, the grassland is really pretty and the concept is great! Really like how you left a track behind the mech thing too! Quote
shmails Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 Thanks so much everyone for the wonderful comments and response to my build! I added a link to the album with larger photos, sorry about the mix up there. The trees were designed that way on purpose. I wanted it to look like a forest, but an alien one, so I went for a canopy look like in a rain forest or jungle. I also wanted it to look like the butterflies would hide on top of the trees, out of sight of my poor explorer. Thanks again everyone! Quote
Space Terrapin Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Gorgeous butterflies and very pretty build all round! Fantastic. Quote
Orange Leader Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I really like the white greebling over the walker and the tall grassy planes. The territorial butterflies are amazing! Quote
