rodiziorobs Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Location: B08 (Greater Direstan) Tags: Vehicle, land vehicle Scorpio and Jex were driving a rush order of supplies to one of the outposts on the other side of Greater Direstan. Scorpio's D.O.R.I.S. had been malfunctioning again, so they ended up having to wait for it to be repaired. That put them leaving later than expected, and it was getting dark. AG Week 20 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr "Are you sure we should be heading out this late? It will be getting dark soon, and there's no telling what kind of dangers may be out there at night." AG Week 20 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr "Quit your worrying, we'll be there in no time, drop the stuff off, and be back at HQ before night sets in. Trust my driving." But dusk came quicker than expected, and a low fog rolled in, and soon it was difficult to see where they were driving. They were cruising along the edge of a ridge, when suddenly a tree loomed ahead. Jex veered to the left, and they were falling. AG Week 20 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr AG Week 20 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr Jex came to with a start. Her body ached, and she was momentarily disoriented. Her first thought was to send the D.O.R.I.S. to get help, but she realized that the drone had been damaged in the crash. Scorpio was nowhere to be seen; he must have been thrown from the jeep during the fall. AG Week 20 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr AG Week 20 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr Jex started to get up to better assess the situation, but a sound reached her ears that made her heart stop still: the sound of footsteps running in the river. Heavy footsteps. And then they stopped. AG Week 20 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr She froze. In the growing darkness, she could barely see, ahead of her in the tall grass, a sinister eye staring at her.

mediumsnowman Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Awesome rockwork, tree, and water! This one really reminds me of Jurassic Park. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 MMmmmmmmhhh! My gods! That tree! Very. Very good! I love that tree! Those tans and fun foliage colours~ And the NPU on the roots with the ice cream cone piece! Also! Absolutely love the connection to the bird! I was actually just thinking about that! As soon as I got that Friend's set I was thinking: Now I just need that bird I never got! Great work! Also the truck is great but it gets overshadowed by the tree! ~Insectoid Arstocrat Quote
Vedauwoo Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Fantastic! I'd build a Space tow truck to come and help....but it'd be next week.....lol Quote
SpacerSteve Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 The landscape and jeep are great. lots of detail on both. I particularly like the stripes on the jeep and the exposed roots on the tree. Great work this week. I can't wait to see what creature is stalking them. Quote

Kai NRG Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Great build, especially the tree with the overhanging roots! The jeep is really nice as well, I like the off center stripes on the front! Quote
goatman461 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I really like how the tree comes off that cliff. Quote
pombe Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Fantastic landscape and tree!!! And the jeep is awesome, as well!!! Poor Jex and Scorpio. Quote
Graham Gidman Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Really awesome landscape, I especially enjoy those roots sticking out. Quote
rodiziorobs Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Nice tree Thanks nice people! It is similar to a design I used a couple years ago--you can see it in the banner of my Flickr page, although that one doesn't have the exposed roots--and it seemed appropriate here. Also! Absolutely love the connection to the bird! I was actually just thinking about that! As soon as I got that Friend's set I was thinking: Now I just need that bird I never got! ~Insectoid Arstocrat Thanks! That piece is pretty useful, and I have used it in more than one AG build already. It is also holding up the D.O.R.I.S. using the pins on the old flame pieces. Also, don't you usually spell 'Aristocrat' with an 'i'? Although it is humorous pronounced the other way... Edited October 19, 2015 by rodiziorobs Quote

Especially when spell correct keeps wanting to change the first half of my sig' to "Insect oil" ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
David FNJ Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Excellent jeep! I too like the tree hanging over the rocks. Very cool alien-like landscaping. Quote
