Angeli

Who is to say who's got claims over Waterdeep? Elves say it was theirs for centuries, humans say that the city is much younger, and the Drow claim it (just claim it:). In any case, Waterdeep is home to almost all known races, and it is stretch over vast land covered with lakes, waterfalls and dark and murky waters. Located deep in the land, but sometimes looks like a coastal city, because of the large water as far as an eye can see. People used to say that this city of splendors is one of the most beautiful cities, regarding blue reflections of the sky, and white of the old silver oak trees. Serving as a big trading crossroad, all big powers have their outposts here, as do Drow. And where would a Drow city be located, but somewhere inside a rock. And when water came to life, a Drow fire angel (a name they named themselves, but nobody but them thinks they are even near the angles, and anybody can fly this days:), a Drow fire angel summoned a warrior made of burning stone, armed with a fire sword and magma shield, because, as we all know, nothing fights water as fire. I am proud to present you Waterdeep, the jewel of the East: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Angeli/Waterdeep/thumbnails/dramatict.jpg[/img] (note: cloud is not badly photoshoped, it has here and there trans-clear slopes on both sides to sparkle (and every cloud has a silver lining:)) Views from all four sides: north-east-west-south On a happy note: try and guess how high this 48x48 tower is (in meters), and the closest one will get "High-scout" title and twenty of those white 5x6 leaves ;) And here are few details (click for larger): In these details, you can spot a Drow fire angel and her fire summon, which is so big that is tearing apart that terrace and pillars, leaving havoc even on the floor (check for cheese slope mosaic details:) The lava from the monster is dripping trough the floor, making a canyon in rock, slithering to the water A water nymph is meditating in one of the caves, totally unaware of the happening around her (find her:) A lover (heh) is writing love poetry in another cave, can you find him? :) There are numerous waterfalls, and the biggest one is more then 40 cm high :) Due to the big tree, waves of the water elemental, watch tower and spiral stairs, it is best viewd in "construction" folder. I will let you find micro part yourself ;) A water is falling somewhere beneath a cloud, filling a pond, and a typical Waterdeep silver oak is growing inside it, a young treant :) Checkout the round watchtower and find an entrance in it! :) The Drow outpost is carved in the mountain, and you can see two terraces (on the east and on the west side) buried deep into the mountain; on the south side you can see an old entrance, trough the caved in rock - check the ornament on the wall - there is nothing but air between those two rows of tiles, and that "air" line goes trough the whole castle (during construction, it was filled with black 1x8 tiles, and one of them was such a pain to dig out at the end :) Notice round stairs coming from the wall on the south side Terrace on the east side has a (large) secret entrance (great fit for flyers:). Can you spot it? There are two Drows playing cards inside :) About the scale: here is a picture with my little helper; she is 180 cm tall (more on page 2 of this thread) Minifigs: You've met Drow fire angel. Here are the others: Drow earth angel; Drow water angel and Drow wind angel. Also, there is that lucky Drow that was playing cards behind the secret entrance, also, I've never had a good name for this one, and I call him "a lover" :) The last one is a nasty slaver goblin, but during the taking of the picture, he was cast inside the mountain, into the deepest dungeon, just for being creepy :) Main castle photographs (a lot of stuff here:) "Main" Construction: "construction" Minifigures photographs (Drow rule supreme!) "minifigs" Here you can see some other Drow cities from me: Lith My'athar Menzoberranzan Ched Nasad Ust Natha Chaulssin Eryndlyn Maerimydra Twisted Tower of Ashaba Ruined temple of Shar Rilauven outpost in Mitgardia Llurth Dreir Mirage Dragon Elesee Luna And everything is nicely indexed in the topic Drow , featuring hundreds of minifigs in one place.

You set yourself a really hard task, making a tornado and destruction it causes ;) Great entry, bravo

So abstract ;) Great entry ;)

It's always great to see new faces (more slaves for the Drow ;) and especially when they participate in such great events as challenges ;) good luck ;)

bravo ;) This must be Rancor's grand-grand-grand (grand grand) granfather :)

I am done! :)) And a full day before the deadline ;) And I am always late ;) 48x48 restriction made it possible (and I am still against it ;) but still, IT IS DONE :) Tomorrow, I will take good photographs of the cliff, and present Waterdeep in all its colors ;) But today, a little teaser: awakening of the water elemental ;)

;) Omne Datum Optimum ;)

For TLG: could you please start making elves hair similar to Cheerleader's hair from series 1, so it can fit with armor? Playing with LOTR characters, eventually I will want to put some protection on Legolas or other elves (also, it would allow the use of quiver) Also, armor that goes only to the front would be welcomed article; we could use it with existing hair peaces, and we could combine in with wings, quivers and similar. The only one that was made was this one:

such a lovely moc :) I love the action, and elemental reminds me of the Narnia 3 monster :)

Shadow of my fire elemental ;)

Legonardo ;) great idea for the tree (read: if we ever invade your lands we will not burn it. There :) And thay say that Drow do not have a hart :))

great micro volcano ;)

love it ;) great atmosphere ;)

is Nocturnus going to show its greatnes to the next challenge? Who will enter? Any new teasers?

well, I have a black magma guy, and he was supposed to be a guardian of the red one ;) Near fire elemental ;) I would like to have them all, they are just 5 e on bricklink, but 5+5... and I would also like Gimli, and snake body, and poison Ivy, etc :) And Ragnar ;)

A Drow Angel of Fire teaser ;

fantasy with good guys ;) Great moc, as usuall ;) What was hardest to build? (I bet the stairs on the main house :)

no problem :) here is a little teaser ;) Edit: And a minifig teaser: Drow Angel of Fire (this is how it looks when a Drow specializes in elemental magic:) and on white

great build ;) I love elementals that are not standard (earth, water, air or fire:), good luck ;)

damn :( I am building with all four hands for the challenge 4 :( I will be late for this, but I PROMISSE that I will add something later :) My greatest Drow warriors were growing fluorescent mushrooms for this all week long ;) The mushrooms were growing so fast and strong, they seemed happy. But, "happy mushrooms" were not the luckiest name, so I made them stop, and switch to fluorescent grass. This is what they produced: And then I knew my Drow are just evil to the bone, and the can not make something without making evil metaphors. I've strictly forbidden them from using any 1x1 round white plates for snow :) Edit: ups, double post ;) but hours later :P

I've never read him ;) But I know of his work, and I've also smashed Dritzz party in Baldur's gate 2 ;) (and without Keldorn (my avatar here), who I had to let go before the fight, because he turned and attacked me the second I hit Dritzz :) Ah, good old times ;) btw, I am for Serbia, not Croatia, and the funny thing is, when you mix those two countries, is that our two nations were in some really messy war just few years ago, and I was caught in it ;) But the good thing is that I differ people by character, so it is not a big deal (but a little funny, yes?:) In any case, I go once or twice a year in Croatia and play underwater hockey, and always get drunk night after in a city, with my friends from there ;) So how are the books? Can you compare them with any other epic-fantasy writer? Tolkien is a great writer, but he gets lost in a details, describing a hill on five pages, and I completely forgot was happening before ;) Murkok is great, but he sometimes forgets himself and goes to the dark side, and his novels can become right grimm (sometimes;) Martin is also great story teller, but he also forgets himself and drown in hundreds of characters he bring in every novel; But I love Martin's storytelling, Tolkiens reality (really:) and world/history threading, and Murkok's atmosphere I am off the topic, am I not? If anyone has anything to say, say to the Drow

for some reason, I had a scene from "Game of thrones" in my head :)

big guy ;) great moc, and I always love the lights and ilumination

love the dragon ;)

I love the spider atmosphere :)
