Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) MAGE NETWORK NEWSFLASH! Lady Phlici engaged to Desert King Ambassador! Sands End is surprised and happy about this news! Read all about it! Yesterday, an official meeting with the ambassadors of the Ulandus, High Council and the Desert King took place in Sands End - accompanied by fine musicians. Lat’ve, the Ulandus ambassador, had been in the city for a while, trying to win Lady Phlici's heart. Hinz, the unshaven, ambassador for the High Council managed to arrive just in time, his attire slightly deranged by the plight of the voyage. Apparently, Lady Phlici was shocked by his appearence. See Lady Phlici being shocked: Luckily, the Desert King's ambassador was there to save the day. It soon became clear that Lady Phlici only had eyes for the DK ambassador. No big wonder though. The elderly High Council guy, hungry from his journey, was more interested in cake anyway. And Lat've, having been unable to get closer to Lady Phlici for weeks, took a fancy to the wine that was offered on the occasion. And so Lady Phlici fell in love with the charming young man from the desert - and she happily accepted his proposal. While Hinz was working his way through the cake... ... and Lat've was drunk and fast asleep. What a happy ending for Lady Phlici and Sands End! Here you can see both 16x8 MOCs side by side: I keep wondering where I've seen the face of the DK's ambassador before... (Not much space to do huge stories on 8x16 when you have to depict four different parties...) C&C welcome.

Captain Dee Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Nice scene, Captain. It seems to fit the limited space pretty well. The posing is good and the story is humorous. You make good use of that head for the HC fellow. And the two musicians are a nice addition. But where have I seen that DK man before? Hmm... could it be someone impersonating... you? Haha! Quote

Balbo Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Fantastic work! I love the guitar and all the details on the wall Quote
MassEditor Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Absolutely brilliant entry Captain Braunsfeld! I had quite a few laughs as I enjoyed this story! That passed out Ulandian... Really great work here, these two builds tell a fantastic story! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 Fantastic work! I love the guitar and all the details on the wall Thanks. About the details on the wall: Here's a true story. My younger son once took a book that contained a mapping between hierogplyphics and the alphabet - and he started to transcribe what was written there. (I had never thought about deciphering that stuff.) And he came up with a solution which was - in hindsight - pretty obvious. You may want to try yourself. This should work. Absolutely brilliant entry Captain Braunsfeld! I had quite a few laughs as I enjoyed this story! That passed out Ulandian... Really great work here, these two builds tell a fantastic story! Great - it was fun for me too. Quote

I am very happy with the happy banjo/sitar player. Quote
