Inside Kaliphlin Day 12 - The Lion Dance at the Temple of the Golden D

[robuko]

Welcome back to Day 12 of our tour, we hope you enjoyed the party. Today we are lucky enough to be visiting Qarkyr during the Rakath New Year festivities, and the famous Lion Dancers are showing us their legendary ROAR!

The beautiful music from the drums and cymbals will keep you entertained. Although some of the neighbours seem to have boarded up their doors and windows. Come and join the dance!

Qarkyr is a cultural hub of Eastern Kaliphlin, with strong influence from the Rakath mountains. It sits on the Eastern trade road to Mitgardia and Nocturnus.

The dragon head is awesome! Oh sorry, that's a lion. Like an Okinawan Shisa?

I love Kaliphlin more and more every day (but still remaining a Mitgardian though )

The first picture of Qarkyr

Excellent job with it!! And awesome party atmosphere in here as well!

Great lion costume, but the head needs to work on staying closer to the body I love your buildings, the use of the flowers on the red building is very creative and the gold jumper roof is superb

Nice color scheme on the other house too

[-Carson Haupt-]

I am amazed by that roof!

[Gideon]

I love your interpretation of Qarkyr, it really looks like a melting pot of influences and people from the east and west (and south?)!

[Captain Settle]

Nice MOC. I like that mask and the golden roof.

[NiL_FisK_Urd]

I am amazed by that roof!

Me too. Could you post a close-up of it from above?

[Kai NRG]

Great work, both with the lion and the buildings! Especially the golden roof, really spectacular!

[Captain Nemo]

Great job! I really thing the dragon windows make this scene!

[SkaForHire]

Awesome work! I too am curious about the roof.

I am not sure where those flowers came from, but they look really good on your building!

[Mike S]

Nice MOC! Love the red dragon building!

[ZCerberus]

Very robuko-esque. I like the details on this one. Very nice.

[Ecclesiastes]

Very nice use of all the colors and the lion head looks great. Do you have a close-up of the roof, I can't really figure out how you did that.

[Kayne]

I love it! I too, would love to see how you did the roof

[soccerkid6]

It looks to me as if the roof is made entirely of gold jumper plates: the main section is jumper plates stepping back a half stud at a time; the front is two stacks of SNOT jumper plates rotated to give the curving effect, they are held in place by red headlight bricks on the ends

[de Gothia]

You Kaliphlins sure have a great eye for the houses and style of your guild! I love the houses! The colours as well as the shape of them! If I build o moc in Kaliphlin I will most def look at this for inspiration!

[Str0ngbad]

I absolutley love that gold jumper tile roof and the flowers on the building! Where do those flowers come from? I'm not familiar with them but I like them a lot and your use of them is superb. I also love the atmosphere of this MOC. It really does feel like and ethnic experience!

[Erynlasgalen]

Excellent festival, the details you put into this are great for the size it is. I too love the gold roof, and the musicians and those dragon windows work perfectly here.

For the people who asked, the red flowers came in the new Friends sets, I think they come in red and maybe light orange right now.

[Gabe]

Oh this is lovely robuko! Great job on the wall colours, unusual combinations but they work so well here. That golden roof is pretty stupendous too!

[Captain BeerBeard]

Some really unique styling here. The Friends flowers are really cool and great colors too. Keep'em coming.
