de Gothia Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 The soldiers marched towards the Village of Bryn. Ready to kill and enslave the people of Benoic. It was a hot summer day and the soldiers heard the sound of horses from the forests surrounding the large road through Benoic. Suddenly they were ambushed but could not understand from where the attack was coming. They had the sun in their eyes when they saw him, de Gothia jumping out from a cliff right on to them.... Built for the challenge:"Attack of the Drow" in Avalonia. My first speed build, took my 2 hours. C&C as always welcome. Still struggling with the photos when shooting inside. Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Great landscaping! I love deGothia's pose with the horse leaping off the cliff! Quote
mrcp6d Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 2 hours? Nice! I certainly don't build anywhere near that fast.... I do wish there were more trees to better give the forested impression from the backstory--but deciduous trees take me forever to build so I understand the exclusion. I think your photography is top notch here, unless you took a million pictures to get these three, I'm not thinking you're struggling! Quote
Infernum Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Nice! Love the foliage and fig posing! Quote
The Yeti Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 This has me wanting to try a speed build, you've produced a fairly minimalist but still very effective work. I like the surprise you've conveyed into the drow's positioning, and the confidence shown in that of DG's men. The sign really makes the build for me though, even if it is way off in the corner, it lets your mind wander to thoughts of where those soldiers had been going, great job. Quote
de Gothia Posted December 23, 2013 Author Posted December 23, 2013 Thanks guys! Yes some more trees could have worked but I thought that they would hide the soldiers from Benoic to much! Quote
Wedge09 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Great work I really like it :thumbup: Quote
HammerBro Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Thanks guys! Yes some more trees could have worked but I thought that they would hide the soldiers from Benoic to much! One of the troubles I have with trees. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 The nice slope in the terrain adds a lot to the build and the figs' posing looks great The one tree you did include is excellent, and I like the road sign Quote
Gideon Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Very good landscaping, enough to provide a good scenery without obscuring the action in focus. Would not mind seeing more "speed builds" like this from you Regarding the photography I think the lighting is quite good (bounced flash I assume?), but maybe a tad too strong on the top side of the bricks? An idea to get a more diffuse light could be to spread the light from the flash out more, perhaps using some "frosty" plastic or a thin sheet of white paper in front of the flash? Quote
