rupi Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 This is a mythical sea monster loosely based on the one described in "Os Lusiadas" portuguese epic poem by Camoes. A monster that lives in the sea and destroied many ships when trying to pass Cape of Good Hope. The name given to it was "Adamastor". I choose the vikings to challenge it and it seems that they had no luck this time Thanks for your comments. See the BS folder. Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Hey nice work Rupi, i especially like that hand and the small waves were it comes out the water! The scared face and the debris make it a neat little scene, well done! Quote
Sandy Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I actually saw this on BrickShelf yesterday. What a pleasant surprise that it was actually made by a fellow EB member! I think it's really impressive! The seaweed, the flotsam and the movement of the water all add up important details to the monstrosity. The build of the monster is in itself really creative and working, but in my opinion it could use some variety of color to prevent looking like a stone statue rising from the water, if you know what I mean. Maybe you should try to change the teeth white, and add some black, dark grey or brown details into the body. But these are just my suggestions for improvement, they might not work in your mind. It's a great MOC, anyway! I've been planning to make a seamonster for a while now, but perhaps I'll get around to adding one to the sequel of Princess Quest... Quote
rupi Posted July 27, 2008 Author Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) Thanks I think this moc have room for improvement too I just don't know when I'll do it. The head doesn't look completly like I wanted, but... (it was made almost exclusively with the pieces from an 7657, and for now I don't have much of a choice with grey pieces) Edited July 27, 2008 by rupi Quote
iamded Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 This is awesome, rupi! I love it, the face is awesomely monstrous, the debris and doomed Vikings make the scene a lot more livelier, or rather deadlier. I love the Viking in the treasure chest. Maybe you should try to change the teeth white, and add some black, dark grey or brown details into the body. I dunno, I like the whole stone golem look of it. Besides, the teeth should be yellow with decay, not white. Even as I spoke, an immense shape Materialised in the night air, Grotesque and enormous stature With heavy jowls, and an unkempt beard Scowling from shrunken, hollow eyes Its complexion earthy and pale, Its hair grizzled and matted with clay, Its mouth coal black, teeth yellow with decay. ~Peace Quote
I Scream Clone Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Well done on a really impressive Sea Monster design. The moving water is cool and the characters really bring this scene alive! :thumbup: Quote
Duke Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 This is really excellent, i like the building techniques but also the overall look of the monster is very lifelike and fearsome Quote
Pickerel Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 This is one of the best sea monster designs I've ever seen . Those poor vikings. Just one question though, is the monster supposed to be made of stone or flesh, or something totally different? Once again, Great MOC! Quote
Manta Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Not the Vikings!!!! Great MOC though, I love the detail in the monster. The hand reminds me of the Chum Bucket's hand. ( holding on to the bucket ). The seaweed is also great. I think this is the best sea monster I've ever seen. Quote
BlueBard Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Very nice work, here! I like the hight detailed face and hand of the monster, and specially the poor viking trying to escape to his fingers The whole scene really looks like if it's going to become alive in any moment Quote
Sir Dillon Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 A really intimidating and different looking sea monster! I like the way you've posed him, the whole scene looks alive and quite traumatic. I kind of like the stone look it has, but if that's not really what you're going for, Sandy's suggestion for adding more colours is a good idea. Good use of those plant sprues! Quote
kakle Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 HiThi is a nice moc I love the snot it boggles the mind . Can you show me a forest man version of the monster? ******KAKLE****** Quote

HiThi is a nice moc I love the snot it boggles the mind . Can you show me a forest man version of the monster?******KAKLE****** Thank's The intention was to make it look made of stone, that's why I used only gray (and if I had more gray I would make it bigger but...) About the forest version, humm... it would be a tree monster, like the walking trees in the LOTR Quote
Raven Brickroft Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Wow. GREAT MOC!! Kinda reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus. Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Wow, way to go. That monster looks really ferocious! Good job. Quote
castlestrike666 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Great seamonster! And if I'm not all wrong, did you use the remainings of the waterplant with three leaves as covering for your monster? Quote
Matteo Kenobi Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Wow looks great!!I love how it has that statue come to life look! The hand looks great, as does the fact that it is decked out in moss, well done! Quote
