BrickCurve Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Recently discovered in an almost forgotten corner of Petraea university, this painting by the yet unknown artist 'BC'. See Flickr (link in signature) for images without frame and background. I would like to claim the UoP credits for: Trees (1/3), Studs up rocks and cliffs. Edited July 5, 2016 by BrickCurve Quote
Mr Greeble Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Very nice floating island! How did you get the background effect? Quote
BrickCurve Posted July 5, 2016 Author Posted July 5, 2016 Very nice floating island! How did you get the background effect? Thanks! The background is a handheld macro shot of some 1 x 1 roundplates. I intentionally kept the shutter open for way too long to get a sharp image in the hope it would look a bit like clouds. He rest of the image is several small MOCs combined in Photoshop. Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Great idea ! And I like the design of this floating rock ! Good job ! Quote
Kai NRG Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Clever way to do the background there! I thought for sure it was just photoshop! The floating rock looks really good, and although the tree doesn't look exactly like a palm tree, it still is pretty neat. +1 for the tree and the rocks... I'm not so sure about the geography credit. You don't really have a mountain or cliffside (upside down for one and too small for the other). Quote
gedren_y Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I agree with Kai, UoP DoH +1 on the first two credits, but it doesn't qualify for the mountain/cliff credit. Quote
TitusV Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 That background is superb - but so is the rest of the build! Great job yet again BC! Quote
LordDan Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Great build BrickCurve! I love the idea of making it a picture, it's very unique and works great for this build. Quote
BrickCurve Posted July 5, 2016 Author Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Thanks everyone! Clever way to do the background there! I thought for sure it was just photoshop! The floating rock looks really good, and although the tree doesn't look exactly like a palm tree, it still is pretty neat. +1 for the tree and the rocks... I'm not so sure about the geography credit. You don't really have a mountain or cliffside (upside down for one and too small for the other). Thanks. Your right, it doesn't quite fit. Oh well I will have to make my first mountain...

LittleJohn Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Excellent build, BC! The blurred background works wonderfully, and I really like that floating rock +1 UoP for the trees and rocks Edited July 6, 2016 by LittleJohn Quote

Blufiji Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Great floating isjabd, very exotic in nature. Reminds me of Ces's Tobdiah a bit. Quote
BrickCurve Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 Thanks. Great floating isjabd, very exotic in nature. Reminds me of Ces's Tobdiah a bit. Thanks. I did gets one ipnspriation from there. It's always funny when auto correct doesn't catch a piece of really fast typing, "isjabid" = island! :D Quote
Rconn0 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Very creative, awesome tree(and island its on), and I love the background. Quote
BrickCurve Posted July 8, 2016 Author Posted July 8, 2016 Very creative, awesome tree(and island its on), and I love the background. Thanks, I am glad someone likes the tree! Quote
halixon Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Very nice island, and i like the background, with what appears to be an enlarged image of studs! Quote
BrickCurve Posted July 8, 2016 Author Posted July 8, 2016 Very nice island, and i like the background, with what appears to be an enlarged image of studs! Correct! It is a 1.4 second exposure of the 1 x 1s that I sometimes use for water in other MOCs Quote
ixypixy Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Very cool and very unique. I love the idea of a floating island. I quite like the tree but maybe it could be improved by shortening the limbs a bit. Quote
BrickCurve Posted July 9, 2016 Author Posted July 9, 2016 Very cool and very unique. I love the idea of a floating island. I quite like the tree but maybe it could be improved by shortening the limbs a bit. Thanks. Good idea, I will try that next time. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Lovely floating rock styling, and the sand texture on top is excellent too Clever use of the micro ship below! Quote

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it s too much having the micro ship semi transparent, I am glad to hear it works! Edited July 10, 2016 by BrickCurve Quote
Gunman Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Hey... i got confused there BrickCurve xD i really like the rockwork there and the use of the grass for the tree. Quote
