[MOC] Steve Surprise

[YellowFrog]

Steve's adventure continues after the last chapter. In case you missed it, here it is:

---

Steve was in the midst of the Bluecoat Soldiers. After a well-timed entrance he snuck past the soldier exiting on his horse, and managed to grab a bottle of the good stuff. After a few liberal swigs, he realised getting in was only half the problem. He needed an exit.

---

The bluecoats are exporting some of their tropical produce - pineapples and carrots.

They've taken the load straight from the fortress where they are kept, along with their supplies, and of course their rum.

They're loading them onto a rowboat, to be taken out to a larger ship awaiting offshore.

The horse seems to be struggling onto the dock. Those pineapples must be very heavy!

Or perhaps the carrots are particularly juicy?

Of course not, not enough rain in these warm climates! It's Steve, using the pineapples to make his escape!

He jumped in as the carriage passed the store of rum he was hiding behind, and used it to carry him and his precious goods to freedom.

I don't think he realised the cargo would be so closely watched... His plan of jumping out and running off has come to a sticky end! (pun intended)

But will they catch him, or will he concoct an improvised escape plan?

Well done! You've successfully created a MOC in less than 90  with around 50 part minutes which was the intent for the small building entries.

Too bad the contest is over!

So now you've left us on a cliffhanger - but is that a rhetorical conclusion or should we expect to see further adventures for Steve?

I'm not sure for now, you'll have to wait and see.

Why is this crate so heavy?! Haha, hilarious scene! Steve's green "hat" mimics the pineapple's stalk perfectly I guess this wouldn't work with fleshies

 

(Please allow me one suggestion. The pictures file sizes are pretty big (i checked one and it had 22mb!) and it quickly adds up with multiple pictures. Loading the thread took some time and was even slowing my other tabs down and i usually have a good connection. I would suggest using jpg instead of png and try to keep the file size below 5mb. 1mb would be even better. Maybe shrinking the pictures by 50% could also help. I width of around 2000 pixel should be more than enough, unless there are some very small but important details.)

It loads quickly for me, so I think I'll leave it for this one, but I'll keep this in mind for future posts.

Good continuation of the story! It looks very funny to see Steve's head in the box of pineapples.
