Dannylonglegs Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Thar she blows! My entry to this glorious contest! Here to we may observe Dannylonglegs' infamous "Vertical" approach to vignette making! Trolling Atlantis by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr The Oleon warn that these waters be cursed. They say that once upon a time, there were an Island here, inhabited by wicked people... They say that King Neptune sunk the Island to the sea and made its inhabitants into creatures of the depths as punishment for their heathen ways... But the merchants of Eslandola care little for that superstition... at least not the fishermen aboard this particular ship! Instead, they've grown to love the local waters, as the fish here are abundant! Including the delicious Manatees, as the ship's physician calls them. Trolling Atlantis by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr Yes! Manatees are delicious! Once you split the light meat from the dark meat, that is. The only downside is the screams. They sound... human. In fact, their cries for help have driven the captian to insomnia... but you know what they say: "A good captain can't fall asleep." And who might this knowledgeable scientist be? Why, that'd be physician Long! Born into a family of wealth, Physician Long attended University in Corrington, where she learned her trade, and now she works as a physician and Naturalist for the benefit of the Eslandola trade empire! Particularly the West Octania Trading Company. Trolling Atlantis by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr Physician Long: "You should have alerted me earlier of your condition. Judging by the smell alone, I'd say your leg has gone Gangrenous. There's nothing to do other than amputate. I'm going to need you to bite this bullet. This is going to hurt. A lot." Patient: "Can't I get a drop o' rum to anesthetize meself?" Physician Long: "No. You've drunk your quota for this pay period. Hold still." Trolling Atlantis by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr The Inhabitants of the local waters are none too happy about the increase in fishing. But perhaps that's part of their punishment by Neptune. Perhaps they should have been better humans. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited October 24, 2015 by Phred Quote

PaddyBricksplitter Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Yikes, that's pretty shocking what's happening to that mermaid! Lovely coral too. Very nice build, definitely out for blood. Quote
dr_spock Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Bloody nice. Like a rated R version of the TV show, Adventures of Pirates with Scientists. Quote
MiloNelsiano Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Very nice and vibrant underwater scene! I really like the water as well, the whole build looks very nice together. I'd like to see a little better overview shot however. Quote
mediumsnowman Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Great entry! The curved hull is really cool and the blood seeping through the floor is a great touch. Quote
Capn Frank Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Great entry. That coral looks great. Great use of the leaves from the Elves sets. Quote
Staslegomaster Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Judging by the number of the underwater creatures the poor but taisty mermaid will soon be revenged! Show goes on! Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Wow ! Great MOC ! Very clever use of pieces for your coral reef ! And you are starting building for Eslandola ! Great ! Quote
BrickOn Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Cool coral reef and the splitting if the manatee is really well done (and quite hard to look at after reading the story). Awesome entry :-) Quote
Captain Dee Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 This is a creative use of the limited amount of space. The ship portion looks pretty good, but the underwater portion is fantastic. Those vibrant colors make it look so real I want to reach out and touch it. You've made good use of parts, too - the colorful hairbrushes, hairpieces, even the big mask/headdress piece. That's possibly the best underwater build I've seen yet. Very good work. Quote
