Book II challange I a mage in the nocturnus swamp

[LegoPanda]

hello you guys, this is my entry for challage 1 of book 2 in GoH, i hope you like it

in the swamps of nocturnus there is a shrine, and infernum found it, but it is protected by a nocturus tribe man and a Mage of the Black Spire

Here it is from a few different angles

now the figs

here is a Nocty i came up with, a new tribe ( at first he had wings, but that looked weird)

Here is the sigfig of Infernum, (i used him because i had his parts) hopefully he will survive

and here is the mage, he is based of the figures in the story of Jodocus, but he is an outcast that was banned for usage of dark arts, so he joined the black spire

i hope you liked it, criticism is welcome so i can improve next time

for the university of petrea doctorate i am looking for the credentials on the following themes

extreme environments, acid pools

minifig posing

geography, swamp

edit: i removed two pictures because there is a maximum of five per entry, sorry for the people that havent seen them, i will reupload them when challenge 1 is over

it was evening and one of my lamps was broken, i was o lazy to put a baseplate behind it or remove my chair, but thanks for the tips

The moc itself looks interesting, some nice action going on. But, as has been said before, your photography is a desaster. Way to blurry, too dark and a white piece of paper as a background should be doable behind a moc as small as this! I also think that holding a moc in your hand while taking the pic is a pretty bad idea. No wonder it's so blurry. So why don't you make another effort and try to take some better pics!

[LegoPanda]

only the figs where helt in my hand, i used my webcam, that is why they are blurry, i need to use my camera i know but it wasn't charged and i needed some of the parts so i had to do it quick. so, sorry my excuse for my terrible photo skill

[kabel]

no problem mate, not need to excuse yourself. But sometimes its better to wait a day or two, sometimes I wait like two weeks until the sun comes out and then take the picture, no need to hurry

Looks great! Nice how you used Infernum, but why didn't you use your own sigfig??

I like the dead tree and the bit of slime in the corner of the build As others said if you could take pictures of your build in front of a solid color background it would be easier to see details

[Lord Vladivus]

Nice flame circle, and the slime patch is cool too!

That's exactly what most of us don't want to see. If you have to make a deadline, more understandable. But still as others said, never rush things and give your moc the attention it deserves, because the posing is excellent. But because of the laziness it's hard to enjoy it!

[LegoPanda]

ok, i will try to resurrect what is possible and make new pics, i still have enough time so it should be possible

[Alfadas]

I am on team Black Spire, and Infernum on team nocty, so i used his

My mage is my Black Spire sigfig

Oops sorry!

[lord raphael]
