    If you want to avoid the Photoshop issues, try using a backdrop. I usually use black felt because it gives a nice matt finish, but I know some other people use linen sheets or large sheets of paper.

    And I deliberately didn't give mine a hood so you'd know who he was! Gotta get some more agents of the Order into his storyline...

    @blackdeathgr I think they're from the Taun Taun model?

    @blackdeathgr it was the best example I could think of...

    This sounds like a job for Merde the Murderer! He's a bit of a Bronn of Blackwater character. Only trouble is, he might get a bit carried away with the drinking...

    @blackdeathgr Thanks! Give me some conditions for use! Any settlements you'd like to see developed? Any building types I should try?

    @blackdeathgr Thanks! As I said in my own thread, I'm very keen to get building appropriate builds, so if there's anywhere I should be particularly focussing my efforts, please let me know - particularly if there are any funds available. I'd like to get up to speed asap.

    @blackdeathgr Thanks. I thought even building in stone might be a bit of a rush. He's only been there a few days! @Drunknok Thanks. It was only after I posted this that I realised I don't know whether it fits the religion or not. I did ancient history, so i was basing my build off stuff I know, rather than how religion was in the real age of sail. Glad you guys liked it!

    I've built Fatu Hiva an altar. Praise the Underlord!

    This is where I'm putting all my ongoing stories about Padre François. They will go in chronological order of his timeline, rather than IRL. The four surviving François siblings, from eldest to youngest, and from left to right: Hercule François, the Vicomte Guemain, is the head of the family, and holds the sole hereditary title. He is largely concerned with the running of the estate. In his spare time he is a connoisseur of wines, and has built up an impressive cellar in the Chateaux Guemain. Celeste Dupré (neè François) is both an accomplished mother (with two sons and three daughters) but also a renowned beauty and sharp wit. Invitations to her private salon are highly prized, and her book on etiquette and realpolitik in the Royal court has been reprinted a dozen times Padre Jules François you will come to know. Pierre François, the "Chevalier de la chasse", Lieutenant in the Royal Musketeers, and a favourite of the king's back in his days as a carousing young prince. These days he has lost favour, his career has stalled, and his fondness for wine, women and horses is catching up with him. The Dupré Family; François' Sister, Brother-in-law, and his nieces and nephews. From left to right: Celeste, the Duchess Dupré. Monique Dupré; her youngest daughter. Amand, the Duc Dupré. Eldest son Emile Dupré, the Marquis de Guenin. Young Hercule Dupré, the Baron de Boudenelles. Eldest daughter, the recently betrothed Lucille Dupré. Middle daughter Diana Dupré.

    Altar of Cthonic Hades by Ross Fisher, on Flickr Your eminences, As we discussed prior to my departure, I have found that it would be beneficial to send a 'message of intent' to the people of New Terra. As such, I have commissioned the building of a new Altar of Cthonic Hades in the town of Fatu Hiva. I would have liked to build it in marble, but the cost of shipping it here would have been prohibitive. Instead I have been forced to use the local stone, which is passable. The icon is forged from an old spiked cannon, and displays a likeness of the Underlord based upon the icon I brought with me for personal prayer. I had expected to meet more resistance to this project, but the town has seen (and caused) so much death recently that few people voiced any displeasure, and none were willing to obstruct the project. A bowl for offerings has been placed in front of the statue, which should generate some initial funds for the project here. I consecrated the monument with a sacrifice of half a dozen pigs. In time, the gods may see other, larger sacrifices here, and understand our humility. Your humble servant, François Well this was fun. This is my first construction freebuild. It is a small arts and culture building. It's based on other historical altars. These originally started out as just a rocky platform where you could kill an animal. Once you've killed one there, you might as well kill them all in the same place. Keep the blood contained. Doing all the butchery there also makes sense. And then if you're giving a cut to the gods, you'd leave it there. Can't be taking food from the gods. If you were really grateful you'd burn the whole animal to a crisp and leave it there as a holocaust. Eventually, these places got built up and built up with the ashes and bones of dead animals. And then you start getting extra ornamentation, like on the Ara Pacis in Rome, and what started out as just a platform becomes a massive structure, with steps and columns and everything. As our boy François is a priest of Hades, and Fatu Hiva is the start of his journey, and it has seen a lot of death recently, this build seemed like a nice fit for my free small building. Hope you like. Ross

    @blackdeathgr Thanks for the welcome! As mentioned above, I can't take credit for the anchor, but I appreciate the sentiment. Indeed. On a general note, as one of the representatives of the Order of the Faith in New Terra, please feel free to contact me about collab/team builds, particularly if they involve religion (looking at you @gedren_y). Also, if you need a trial judge, I am up for that. Particularly if I get to burn heretics as a result...

    @LM71Blackbird Flaming driftwood! Inexorably drifting towards you!

    @LM71Blackbird you know what a fireship is? I've been allocated funds for a vessel by the council and I remembered that the best defence is to set the seas and everthing on them aflame... I'm going to like it here.

    @Bodi @KotZ @KeymonusThanks for the welcome. We will have to take a look.
  22. Ross Fisher
    @Bodi @LM71Blackbird @Flavius Gratian Thanks very much for your generous welcomes. @LM71Blackbird Are you sure?

    @Drunknok Thanks!

    @Bregir Registered! Thanks!

    @Bregir Please forgive my incompetence. I'm really struggling to find the June/July free build registration form. I can only find the out-of-date one from last year. Do you have a link?
