Ice Fishing in Mitgardia [freebuild]

[Gideon]

A small free-build to celebrate the new season.

During the long winter, an important source of protein for the Mitgardians is fish caught underneath the ice of the lakes.

This fisherman is both lucky and unlucky, he has found some big fishes but should have made a bigger hole in the ice...

I'd like to claim the following UoP credits:

• Underwater [Hydrology]
  
• Fishing [Agriculture and Zoology]
  

(I know that it's a small scene, but together with this build and this build maybe I've shown enough underwater skills to merit the "Underwater" credit?

I thought about asking for "life in Mitgardia" as well, but since I've been trying to tell people not to claim too many credits for too small builds I'll save that for another build)

I really love all of your underwater builds and actually I've become very fond of your small vigs. Time for me to get into this stuff as well I would say ...

[MiloNelsiano]

This is a really nice but simple underwater build. I really like those footprints (I know they've been done similarly before, but i like your technique most from those I've seen). Small criticism is that hole looks a wee bit too small to get that fish out!

[LordDan]

Nice vig! I like how the ice really does seem to be floating on the water. The underwater scenery looks good and the story is entertaining :)

That's the point! :)

Nice work here, especially with the underwater section and the footprints. Also like the touch of humor with the undersized hole! +1 for both the credits. I do think the minifigure could have been posed better. I'd have put him standing up tugging at the line or, if you're going to make him sit, having him look completely exhausted (which is certainly hard with a minifigure), as though he had been struggling for the last ten minutes and has just about given up. Something more than a backpack (say the addition of a pail, one of the new capes from the hun, and/or some sort of snack for the fisherman) would also enliven the scene a little.

Ha, ha, exactly what I was thinking when I saw it! Nice and simple build, great job with the underwater plants

[gedren_y]

UoP DoH +1 on both credits.

[Jakorin Swiftsword]

Awesome job, Gideon!

[Slegengr]

Great build, Gideon!

The underwater effect is done nicely! The little hole is great for the story. My favorite detail is the path of tracks in the snow.

This build is one of the coolest ( ) builds I have seen you do outside of your Kaliphlin builds!

[Zerobricks]

Simple and cute! Love the tracks detail.

[IenjoyLego89]

Nice build :) I like the underwater scene, really gives the impression that the ice is floating.

[Alfadas]

Nice build! The waterplants look very nice!

[Yzalirk]

Nice little build and the lowered snow part to show footprints was a nice touch.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

(the others have said it all)

[MiloNelsiano]

That's the point! :)

Ha. Never mind what I said earlier. I need to read things more carefully from now on.

[Graham Gidman]

Footprints are awesome!

[mrcp6d]

tsk, tsk, seen what happens when a Kaliphlinite gets out of his element?

Kidding aside, sweet vig! The footsteps are certainly a nice touch.

[ZCerberus]

I love that you realize the hole is too small. So cute. I read the flickr description too, so tell your lady good work! Keep up the collaborations!

[TuftedDuck]

I'll just second everyone else's comments. love it, well done

[soccerkid6]

Very effective vignette! The simple snow/ice design and underwater sections look great

And I like the little hole too

[Adolfo]

I think so charming MOCs with underground sea. Lovely! Congrats!

[Gunman]

Lovely moc Gideon.. Small and effective!

[Lord Vladivus]

Nice! Love those footprints!
