Mister Phes

WHAT??? How could you? X-D

This is certainly a neck and neck competition! Feel the rush!

Maybe you should should include a screen shot in the first post so those unfamiliar with the game can easily distinguish the difference between the content art and game graphics.

WE HAVE A TIE!!! Oo7 and Cap'n Sly Owl have received the same score so now their entries will battle each other for the winner. Vote in this thread!

It still all looks cartoony to me but I don't think that a bad thing. It's just a form of a stylialisation which has deviated from past Age of Empire Games where the graphics appeared as more photo realistic. What about the game itself - does the units and terrain also lean towards this cartoonised aesthetic?

Age of Empires III - I haven't got round to playing it either and probably never will.... :'-(

Spray paint makes things different colours X-D I agree. If the bricks were all white then the harbor would look too clean and perfect, the yellowing gives a sense of aging.

So you think the chest and parrots might be related?

So vote now or forever hold your LEGO pieces!

Oh that it is... I just wanted to bring this wonderful MOC to your attention. Marvellous work Phred! What kind of doors you thinking about adding? Just the brown ones that are curved at the top?

That sounds mighty fine Captain Green Hair so I be holdin yer to that! And if not I shall keep your soul for all eternity. That's fair enough isn't it?

Yes the link is fine but for some reason your text is large and red. That might wear thin after a while X-D Anyway... Good work finding the treasure thread *y*

Well go tell Gui that in his thread. Meanwhile I'm going to conduct a little experiment...

Quick! Take a picture of your window so we can revel in the glory of your window!

I know! Let's sail Phred's merchant ship to Gui's extended dock... I could have sworn Gui extended the dock for the very purpose of letting Phred's ship moor there X-D

I don't get it... X-D Explain more Sir Phred.

Scariest Entry goes to TinyPiesRUs If I were a soldier I'd be crappin myself with all the freakin skeletons coming at me! The Best Built Entry goes to Cap'n SlyOwl It has quite a creepy tropical look to it. Though I will give SirNadroj a honourable mention for his entry - quite a fine construction that fort is. The Best Overall! It's nicely built and has a subtle creepiness to it which reminds me of the jungle settings seen in the Cannibal horror films of the 70's.

That figurehead is fit for a king! You're putting castle pieces to excellent use Sir Phred!

I've got that movie on DVD too! Haven't got round to watching it though.

The mighty inquisition is looking for new Matadors. Send their CV's to the Armada Administration and their suitability will be reviewed.

Yes, this is ever so annoying. But you have some options: Add additional lighting which isn't as always as easy as should be Take the MOC outside on a sunny day - of course your MOC might not be easily relocated. Adjust the image in photo editing software which of course can be time consuming getting it just right Or just not worry about it! Chances are close-up pictures sufficiently will reveal the detail.

Very nicely built indeed! Yes! Show us more pictures! Close ups! Different angles! We want more!

Diving? Is that what you think I was doing? X-D

Happy about what? I wouldn't recognise them as Spanish unless I was told. I hope Phred is indexing all these great designs you're churning out.
