robuko Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 The Kaliphlin Tourist Board is proud to present, the greatest spectacle of the Southern Sands After you have visited Day 1 - The Withered Woods Day 2 - The Jungles of Gorr Day 3 - The Lone Mountain Day 4 - The Qar-Akhen Marshes Day 5 - The Dune Sea come and see the toughest race in all Historica! The origins of this event are lost to the mists of time. Some say it hearkens back to a time when Kaliphlin was a green and fertile land, dotted with tranquil lakes of crystal purity where the ornamental pleasure barges of the rich flocked like colourful birds, Others say it was started last year by a bunch of nouveau riche college kids looking to invent a heritage to disguise their unsavoury origins. But none dispute that this is the pre-eminent endurance challenge in Kaliphlin. 12 teams, carrying boats that represent the creatures of the zodiac, will race across the 12 stages from Mpya Stedor. The teams set off on Midwinter's Eve and the winning team will cross the finish line in Ras-el-Ahken in time for the biggest New Year's Eve party in Kaliphlin. Here, our artists depicts the second checkpoint of the first stage. The pandas hold a slender lead over the yellow dragons. But who will lead at the end of the day? Why not visit us and find out for yourself. In Kaliphlin, a beautiful, friendly, and mostly safe place for the discerning traveller. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Interesting concept. Good execution. That definitely would be an endurance race for sure, especially through sand. Keep up the great work! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I the irregular base you did. The teams outfits look great, and I like your brickbuilt background Seems the pandas would be very hot in those black hoods Quote
Nightstalker Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 This is pretty interesting. I hope to see an event like this near New Year's Eve Quote
TheLegoDr Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 They might be incredibly hot in the hoods, or extremely cool. The hood will probably block out some of the hot sun, therefore keeping their skin slightly cooler. Plus the sweat will soak in, so that might have a cooling effect also....speculation of course.

Infernum Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Ha, ha! This is awesome! I love the base and the dunes in the background! Quote
Erynlasgalen Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 LOL, the dragon boat races are great! The panda team is awfully cute, but I think I like the dragon boat more- great use of pieces on that one. I hope there are enough medics at the finish line, I forsee a lot of burned feet at the end of the races. Quote
SkaForHire Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Great work Robuko! Although this year, GEAR lost a lot of money betting on those pandas... Quote
Gideon Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 The strange and wonderful customs of Kaliphlin still amazes this Avalonian born half-elf even after well over a century of travels here! Out of character: Fantasic idea and fun boat designs :) Quote
Kai NRG Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Great job robuko, especially on the dragon boat and the forced perspective dunes! Also great work with the base, I'll have to try a base like that soon! Quote
Kayne Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Great job Robuko! I love the two boats...they are well executed! Quote
Maxim I Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 It was quite a sight, all those teams at the start ! The crowd in Mpya Stedor went crazy when they gave the start signal ! But we still wonder where the Drow team is... They started for sure, but they disappeared somewhere during the race Anyway, very nice executed Robuko!!! Quote
Ecclesiastes Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Brilliant idea and the head of the dragon and panda are very well made! Quote
ZCerberus Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Cool concept indeed. Interesting boat designs on the front too. Good work! Quote
Str0ngbad Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Those boats are both so much fun!! I want to see the other ten. Quote
