Oh, lovely build! The rock work and the garden look realistic, as is the path and the little wall. Keep bricking

I will ABSOLUTELY buy this! I am incredibly pleased with very traditional Japanese design and the minifig selection, can't wait

Welcome niknarjc, have fun on Eurobricks!

Enjoy your time here

Enjoy your ride aboard the Eurobricks train

Oh, I would love to see such fleet! Welcome to Eurobricks Colby!

Enjoy your time here, Weto!

Wonderful! Both your creation and presentation are top-notch! I may end up using a lot of your techniques.

Welcome back to the Guilds, fellow Nocturnian! Khaliphlin has had a civil war recently, so nothing important, really I think the base and the light bluish grey part of the building look okay. I don't like the use of dark grey for the upper part, not so realistic imo and too much contrast with the lower part. Speaking of realism, I would place that door knob a bit lower . I hope my feedback is useful to you!

I agree, the sand dune is superb, so smooth I always like to see that footstep trail technique. The cactus looks great too, the tumbleweed is inventive. Does anyone else see the irony of this being uploaded on the American Independence Day?

Thanks for the positive feedback about both the build and the story. I quite like the way the scene turned out, extra vivid due to the lighting. Btw, be sure to check out the next part of the saga, it is up right now!

Onicius prologue part 1: The village raid part 2: A merchant's knowledge part 3: Meeting a wizard Part 4: 'Sand man' They walked away from the town and the river, further into the desert. The temperature was getting a little more pleasant due to the lowering sun. Elia stopped. Elia: "This seems like a good spot to test your skills. You read that magic encyclopedia, so I suppose you know at least one spell." Onicius: "Well, Elia, now we are here, could you please show me some of your spells first?" Elia: "Ah, sure! I am specialized in energy flow magic, lightning in particular! See that dune over there? I will demonstrate what this staff can do!" The sky darkened slightly and then a lightning bolt struck the top of the dune with great force. A moment later, the top had become a crater, glistering with small pieces of glass. Onicius was a little overwhelmed by what he just witnessed. Elia: "Your turn!" Onicius was nervous. It would be embarrassing if his spell failed. He he stood a few steps away from Elia. He raised his (borrowed) staff and murmured some words. Sand and dust particles started hovering above the ground in a circle, the sand on the ground shifted into a pattern. He grabbed the red magic energy crystal out of his pocket. He felt an exhausting energy flow through his body, but the spell didn't activate, only a whirling dust cloud. Thinking clear was hard, but at last, he got an idea. Onicius: "Please fire off a lighning bolt one more time, into the cloud!" Elia: "Are you insane?! You are in there! You will be kill.." Onicius: I can't hold this! DO IT NOW! A lightning flash, once again. No sign of an impact. Instead, suddenly it was like an entire dune was moving, a river of sand. The dust cloud swallowed it. At last, the cloud subsided, slowly revealing its core to Elia... Elia: "Onicius! Are you okay in th.. WHOAH!!!" Onicius: "Did it work?" Elia: "Onicius! Who..Where...How in the name of Historica did you learn this demonic form of magic!" Onicius: "What do you mean, I just used a crypto magic circle to describe the alchemy that constructed the body, and your lightning to power the spell." Elia: "But look at it! It moves like a creature, it's watching me as if it has a soul of it's own!" Onicius: "Oh, right, that's because I instructed it to mimic the movements of my own arms and head." Elia: "Great... Phew. Thank god! I was afraid it was a form of... Onicius?" Onicius collapsed, he was so exhausted he passed out. Elia carried him home on his back, while the red sun disappeared under the dunes of the desert. To be continued... in the next part: Making a move It's great to hear some of you are actually reading this story Thank you for reading/viewing! C&C appreciated!

I'm pretty excited for it! I hope we see some cool new figs aside from great and proper architecture. Off topic, but the concept is interesting: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/106558 The creator knows exactly what figs we want to see

I quite hate the techno stuff being in Ninjago, but with this build you really nailed it: perfect colour scheme, good looks and proportions, nice (shoulder) weapons, even fits a fig! Great job

Welcome to Eurobricks Gedeon! Since EB values correct use of english, please try to work on it (Google Translate does not translate well enough!) Have fun around here

A truely massive and incredible creation! I like the pattern on the ground; the azure is a great choice to create that magic glowing effect, whithout using transparent pieces I am really looking forward to part 2!

Thanks you guys It was fun to work with those vivid colours. As for my next build, I'm still having a writer's/builder's block and I'm going on holiday for two weeks very soon, so don't expect it any time early!

Nice LDD moc I see you did your best to keep the piece count down, especially with the central tower. I like the architecture, the elvish yet arctic vibe. However, if you look at from TLG perspective, the same vibe can be created with half of the piece count. I (note that I am no authority!) fear you should revise the whole thing: - maintain the level of detail, but only three gates with stairs, hinged together for better accesability - keep two soldiers and two snow creatures (no SW bigfig) - add something that shoots, TLG loves that As a moc, I really like it, but as a set, I think you've got some work to do.

It's better than the bulk of the pieces displayed in a museum for modern art, really If I had those pieces, I would probably use them for geological layers, together with Orange Brown and M. Nougat, for a canyon of some sort

Thanks both of you ! I really wanted to use those nice window panels from set 70505, you may also like the ones included in 2507 and 70728.

Welcome to Eurobricks Rodiola! Enjoy your time

Welcome to Eurobricks!

Welcome! Important lesson: there belongs no 's' to LEGO! Enjoy your time here Btw, I am unsure what kind of news and boomerangs you like, please specify

Welcome Anna! We will be glad to help you identifying those pieces, but be sure to check out other cool corners of Eurobricks!

Great job on the frozen river! The burning roof looks good too
