Exetrius Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Pitfall Immobilization In the infernal abyss the Algus are still a rare sight, but they sometimes fall from the sky. Certain people are throwing them into the abyssal pits from the surface. "So, according to my calculations, when the lava is this hot, the pit is that deep and the cooling capacity per hourglass reversal of the Algus creature is like this..." *pushes the Algus over the edge* "... it will exactly dive with it's head into the lava!" "Sir, we have confirmation from down below! The creature is immobilized with it's head into solidified rock." "Excellent, I think they can handle it from here!" So, my this is my first challenge entry for the Frozen Beyond contest and also my first lava-themed build. The photography did not really turn out as good as I want it to be for the overview, in real life the lava has a nicer glow to it, but anyway, it was fun. I do intend on doing another build for the contest today, I hope I can manage that! As usual, C&C very appreciated! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Haha great idea! I've got this image of the Algus waving his legs frantically! Quote
TitusV Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 great approach to the story, and really good executed! I hope you can enter some more! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Great action - a quite extraordinary build! Quote
The Steward Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 What a loser, that Algus is such a loser!! Also the lava looks great. Quote
Elostirion Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Quite a unique idea, I really like your approach to the challenge. Also your execution is really well done, one of my favorite parts surely is the lava splashing to the sides. Probably the best caption of the hard contrast between ice and fire we have seen in the challenge to date. Quote
Mr Greeble Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Haha great idea! I've got this image of the Algus waving his legs frantically! Yes, yes! Quote
Exetrius Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Haha great idea! I've got this image of the Algus waving his legs frantically! Yep, you got that right! great approach to the story, and really good executed! I hope you can enter some more! Thanks! (I did manage to enter another one!) Great action - a quite extraordinary build! What a loser, that Algus is such a loser!! Also the lava looks great. Thanks guys! Quite a unique idea, I really like your approach to the challenge. Also your execution is really well done, one of my favorite parts surely is the lava splashing to the sides. Probably the best caption of the hard contrast between ice and fire we have seen in the challenge to date. The splashes were the main unique idea behind it, because lava pools have been done many times before. I had this image in mind of an Algus, falling from a few hundred meters and splashing at the lava surface, with a ripple wave around the impact and globs of solidifying lava in the air. The motion did not turn out quite as epic as that image, but I'm glad the splashing effect is clear Thanks for your comment! Yes, yes! Quote
Garmadon Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Great job with this build Exetrius, especially with the lava and the falling Algus! Quote
LittleJohn Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Great build! The lava is of course great and I really like the rockwork Quote
soccerkid6 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Excellent action posing, the algus stuck in now solid rock, is a very clever effect Quote
