SEE AR AR THREE Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Most of the other races in Historica considered the hunting of Nocturnian crocodiles by the Lizardmen to be a form of cannibalism, seeing as the Lizardmen had evolved from the Nocturnian crocodile. The Lizardmen, however, merely saw it as survival of the fittest. Notes on the build: The biggest challenge for me on this build was the limited number of pea soup green elements I had to make the pond. A combination of bricks, tiles, plates and slopes were used, some obviously illegally. The second challenge on this build was one I set for myself. Because I had used the "leaf" elements for the "splash" in the water, and the "blood" I avoided using any form of the same element anywhere else. It is very easy to go overboard with the foliage and I actually stripped a lot away so that the main focal point of the build, the Lizardwoman stabbing the crocodile, could be seen. I was tempted to use a plain base made from black bricks because this really takes place on level ground, but wanted to keep an organic feel to it so went with what you see instead.

Bregir Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 This is a very beautiful build, and I think you have striked a very nice balance between foilage and visibility - the action is very obvious without the build looking bare anywhere. The posing is nice, and I can really imagine the crocodille going for the lizardman in front of it, before being stabbed by another has it strikes! Plus, I like your choice of border.n My only point of criticism is this: You have made the swamo enclosed on all four sides - seems like a fairly small whole for a crocodille to live in! Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 This is quite the awesome build you have here! Quote
Legocity2713 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Love the red leaf for the blood and the brown leaves for the splattering mud (the brown looks especially good btw) All around great MOC and really good posing. :thumbup: Quote
LittleJohn Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Very nice build! The swamp is excellent and I like the use of leaves Cool foliage too Quote
Dubbadgrim Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Good to see the beasts at Nocturnus don't bow down to petty social norms like, uh, not being a cannibal ;) Edited August 22, 2015 by Dubbadgrim Quote
Jorrith Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 This is awesome! I like how you used the leaves for the splash effect, and the surrounding foliage is not too overly present, but enough to tell its a swamp. Excellent build! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Awesome! Love the natural look of the build- the colours are great! Quote
Hobbythom Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Cool build. As mentioned, the leaves for the splash effect is great as is the minifig posing. Quote

And again, Bregir sais what i think Quote
soccerkid6 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Excellent swamp! The use of olive green works well, and I like the 'leaf' splash Quote
SEE AR AR THREE Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 Thanx again everyone! I really wasn't sure if leaves were giving me the effect I wanted but I'm trying to stretch my building skills so I went with it. My only point of criticism is this: You have made the swamo enclosed on all four sides - seems like a fairly small whole for a crocodille to live in! I was looking at pictures of this MOC again and thought "this looks like a birthday cake" Quote
Blufiji Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 That's a great scene. Lots of foliage and good use of the smaller leaf pieces for water and blood. Quote
