LittleJohn Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Location: A05-Yallorn II Tags: Water vehicle, Exploration Job: Explorer After ending my call with Mark, I checked my scanner; still no life forms detected. so much for "moderate alien activity..." Wait, did something just move in the water? Nah, must've just been my imagination. Suddenly, a big black alien surfaced out of the water: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! The alien was stunned by the appearance of this odd looking (and loud) thing, and merely looked at it, too surprised to do anything else. Our "brave" explorer whipped out his radio and yelled for help. HELP! Big Sal here John, what's up? A ginormous alien is coming right for me! Ooh, can you catch it and bring it back to the lab? Are you nuts?!?! It's bigger than my boat!! Hmm, could you tow it? Wait, I think it's leaving. Yes, it is. Phew, that was a close one. Too bad, I could use something interesting to experiment on. All they've had for me lately are boring plants... I'll see if I can bring you back a small, less terrifying, alien, but no promises there. Little John out. After putting away his radio, Little John hops our of his boat and climbs up the rocks to get a better view of the surrounding area. An overview shot: Lots more pictures here: Link C&C very much appreciated Quote
mrcp6d Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 The color choices here are epic Little John. The way the rock formations all have a similar SNOT styling is fantastic, and I really like those large droid arm trees! Quote
Graham Gidman Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Fantastic build, bud! Love those "hair" plants. Quote
aeralure Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Awesome. Really nice landscape. The one shot I'd like to see is from straight on above. Great job! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Lovely landscape! Beautiful color use, and that tile water technique works well. Must have been fun to build... Great alien and story too Quote
Dardanel Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I'm loving those colors :D Very nice brick usage with those beige plants/wigs! Quote
Big Sal Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Hahaha, thanks for including Big Sal in this - you captured him perfectly Fantastic build too! Quote
Blackhawk STX Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Man, builds like this puts the pressure on! Really imaginative! Not to mention that you've got to have an impressive parts collection... Quote
NuckElBerg Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Great build, love the colours, stonework, vegetation, everything! Although, what's up with your signature showing you have -73 credits? Quote
Kodan Black Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Very colorful build and a great story. Is that Nessie in the water? ;) Quote

shmails Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 So cool, the colors and creativity of this build is great! Quote
Kai NRG Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Lots of great details here, the rockwork is really good and the purple liquid gives it a great alien landscape vibe! I also really like those trees, good work! Quote
Zepher Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Awesome mushroom clusters (love the use of hair!) and the similar rock formations as others have said make for a real feel in the build! The throned trees are cool too, will have to give that a shot some time. Quote
mccoyed Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Awesome build LittleJohn. Really enjoy the colors and parts use and sense of whimsy in your scifi builds. Quote
Garmadon Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I'm really liking the color choices here LJ, the water is superb and the terrain and rock-work are excellent as well! Very neat little boat and alien too! Quote
