Kai NRG Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Ralfaus walked briskly along the soft, springy green turf. "I begin to think I've mistaken the way to Nocturnus," he muttered to himself. "Here I am, trotting along the margin of a beautiful lake..." and suddenly his foot caught in a hidden creeper and he went down head foremost into the water. "Nevermind," He struggled to right his long scythe. "I guess I did take the right turn back there. Well, better get out of here..." But as he turned to go, the water began to churn violently. Suddenly a huge skeleton of a lake monster burst up through the waves. Ralfaus gasped. He braced himself to face the creature. He let out a wild roar and swung his scythe. Suddenly he plopped down into the water. Sputtering and gasping he rose to the surface. He shook off the water as best he could. But the monster swooped down on him! This time Ralfaus waited until he was sure of his strike. Then he lashed out with his pole cathing th monster right on his neck. The monster sang, writhing, onto the foamy waters, and Ralfaus, clambered onto the bank. He had vanquished his first foe for Nocturnus! Well, I wish I had got a bit more time, but unfortunately I wasn't able to start until this morning, so I was doing pretty good just to get the Category A one done. I also was working with quite a limited amount of bricks... but I hope you enjoy it anyways. C&C are welcome! Quote
Emma Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 The skeleton lake-monster is fantastic! The 'bursting out of the water' bit of the build probably could have used a bit more work - but having only started this today, I'd say the overall look is good. I wonder how tamable these things are, they may have been handy to use against the Black Spire... Now I'm thinking that Nocturnus should have a whole cavalry (of sorts) of skeletal monsters... Quote
Infernum Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah, it's excellent! Nice use of those skeleton parts! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Very creative idea and your monster looks great Quote
Kai NRG Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks all! I love coming up with skeleton monsters like that... The skeleton lake-monster is fantastic! The 'bursting out of the water' bit of the build probably could have used a bit more work - but having only started this today, I'd say the overall look is good. I wonder how tamable these things are, they may have been handy to use against the Black Spire... Now I'm thinking that Nocturnus should have a whole cavalry (of sorts) of skeletal monsters... Thanks! Yeah, that was the last thing I did and my stomach was bothering me so I didn't spend much time on it. I did kind of have my hands tied for pieces too though. That 6x4 was the only blue I had... Quote
de Gothia Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Love the skeleton monster! My worst nightmare to have something like that coming out of the water when I´m swimming! Quote

Niku Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Great monster and the water is well achieved, just one thing but I see the monster getting the upper hand over Ralfaus on this one. Quote
Gideon Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Very good job with that monster! I agree however that the water splash effect could have used some more work (or just some more scattered trans-clear parts?) Quote

It does look like Ralfaus winning is a bit of a stretch... Thanks! Very good job with that monster! I agree however that the water splash effect could have used some more work (or just some more scattered trans-clear parts?) Thanks Gideon! I was out of trans clear, or else I would have. But yeah, I hurried over that part... Quote
