[Challenge 1] Life on Guinevere - A06

[narbilu]

:: Unexpected recovery log ::

The lifeless planet of Guinevere is the next stop in the Kawashita path in Andromeda. This steaming planet is worth exploring from a distance at first. Streams of boiling stone in the cracks of dark stone. The probe searches the area for a decent stock of resources when the scanner blinks.

Narbilu checks the report of the scanner. Biomass, a life form. Somehow fauna of some sort seems to adapted itself to grow in these circumstances. Oxygen levels are acceptable, so it is time to drop ship and discover this for ourselves.

The lava and dark stone is really well done and I think the vegetation looks fantastic.

[Commander Turtle]

I like the way the yellow makes it seem to glow, this is a good quality build.

[Dardanel]

The build is very cool :D I like the mushrooms? a lot : ) Did you paint the white parts or is this from some official set?

[narbilu]

Which white parts?

[Dardanel]

Those decals on those 2x2 round plates/dishes that serve as mushrooms :D

[narbilu]

Those are in several boxes. Ewok city for instance.

While the lava and rock work are fantastic, it's the flora that is absolutely phenomenal in this build. The look and feel is so alien and dangerous!

[Dardanel]

Never saw those :D And when I checked bricklink I could only find this one http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=4740&in=S&colorID=69&ov=Y so I thought it was custom, which would be a very nice touch imo :D

Probably should learn to search better :D

[Graham Gidman]

Wow, this is fantastic!

[Dannylonglegs]

This is a really really lovely build! Your colour choices and colour control are fabulous! Those dark red vines and dark tan tendrils are just gorgeous! And I love the bottom lighting! I think every Gueniveir build so far has had it!

Fantastic landscape! Nice work!

And I love the bottom lighting! I think every Gueniveir build so far has had it!

I didn't use any lights or photoshop... just bricks

Oh, wow, just looked at it on a larger screen! I didn't even notice it wasn't bottom-lit! That's the power of trans-neon-orange for you! Great colour choice!

That yellow base for the lava is just inspired. It really does create a facsimile of the lighting effect some builders get by lighting trans bricks from below!

[Mark of Falworth]

Looking good! That Lava is ace! Nice to see the volcanic side of the planet!

Lovely alien landscaping! The tan tentacle plant really stands out.

[LittleJohn]

Excellent entry! I really like the plants and the lava is great too

[Big Sal]

Great lava and foliage!

[Space Terrapin]

Great use of colour contrast, it really does look like it's glowing from below. Marvellous!

[rodiziorobs]

Great illusion using yellow bricks under the 'glowing' lava!

[David FNJ]

The thorny landscape looks great here! Great job with the lava as well!

[shmails]

Wonderfully creepy feel here. Between the lava, the foliage, and the rocks it is a real complete landscape. Nice work!

[NuckElBerg]

Great work creating the lava and the plants, took a lot of inspiration from it in my Challenge 1 build!
