Log Entry 367

Eureka, something has finally been found! Professors Wildex,Artain,and I have searched for weeks and our dedication has paid off! We unearthed a golden shield in the shape of a scarab. It appears to be over two-thousand years old. However, most interesting of all it has an inscription on its back. It reads (roughly translated) "Thy who holds,shall obey Kazik. I was unable to translate that last word,Kazik, which I assume is a word that is indigenous to the culture. Strange, as I am fairly certain I have heard it before.

​Inside I have in-closed a sketch of the scarab shield being discovered(I apologize for the blurriness of the sketch, the artist was slightly drunk, due to the wine Artain distributed after said artifact was found)

Meanwhile in the dark forests of Nocturnus

A shadowy figure appears beneath the dark,haunting trees. It cries "Kazik come" then suddenly vanishes into the darkness once more.

Comments and Criticisms are appreciated.

Nice story, and cool mocs! Your pictures could use some work, the lighting is a little weird, dark in some places, lighter in others. If you could improve the photos, it would help a lot. The mocs also could use some more detail. Other than that, great job!

Thanks for the comment! I pretty much agree with you when it comes to the photo quality, my lighting is a bit spotty. On the subject of detail,I'm new to the world of MOCing, so my finesse is not quite as good as I would like it to be.

Nice story, I wasn't expecting the Nocty MOC as well! Cool Nocty fig, he looks EVIL!

Neat vignettes, and an interesting story. The Nocturnus scene reminds me of the Mirkwood Spiders set

Nice moc. I like your use of different floors for each moc to contrast the dark and lighter atmosphere.

will there be a part II? really nice story.

Thanks Soccerkid! As for the similarity's to the Mirkwood Set , I don't have a very big collection(yet) so most of the parts did come from that set.

Thanks, my MOCing skills aren't the best, but I like to think I'm fairly good with mini-figs.

Thank you for the kind words, and yes there will be some more. It will be part of my characters backstory, though he hasn't been introduced yet.

Nice figs! I also like the base in the first MOC, it is a simple but effective way to contain the landscaping.

I agree that the lighting could be better, try moving outside on a cloudy day or take the pictures in the shadow.
