Ch. II: Team Simon: Cat A: Scouting Ahead

[soccerkid6]

This is my Category A entry for Team Simon. Credit for the tree design goes to Mark of Falworth.

Sir Glorfindel had sent two of his scouts ahead to try and find how far the Black Spire had advanced into Avalonia and the best place for an attack. The scouts were walking through a forest when they heard some noise not far away, the two men quickly swung themselves into the branches of a nearby tree. They were barely out of sight when a Drow and Orc commander stepped into view. The two imposing figures then discussed their attack route on a nearby Avalonian city. The route they chose would take them right through a ravine perfect for an ambush.The scouts listened carefully then told Glorfindel of all they had learned.

C&C welcome

Nice tree! Those scouts blend in very well among the branches

[Lord Vladivus]

I didn't see those scouts to start with! Well camouflaged. How does the tree technique work? I can't figure this one out!

[Tomsche]

I think I do, wizard wands and staves with those 1x1 `clamps` on them, then the leaves inverted on the underside of the stud right?

Guessing by what I could see above the scout with the brown hood (right above his back)

Thanks Gideon, I was happy with how well hidden the scouts are

Here's a link to a tutorial for the tree, it's a pretty neat design: link

You're pretty much right, see the above link for a tutorial

So stealing that for a moc

I love how out of place the Drow and Orc look amongst the greenery and flowers, lol. Bad guys seem to have a tough time blending in in Avalonia.

[Lord Vladivus]

Thanks SK! Pretty simple, but so effective!

[-Carson Haupt-]

I like it!

[Scaevola]

Nice, I like that tree very much

[de Gothia]

Looks great! I love that tree for sure!

[Davidbarrena]

Nice tree, and great figure "posing" (I didn't see them in my first look) :)

Thank you, I tried to make sure the scouts were pretty well hidden

[Torgar]

Great job with the tree!

[Thomas of Tortuga]

Really nice angles on the tree! I think the ground might look just a bit better with some different shades of green, though, to keep everything from looking the same color.

[MassEditor]

Cool scene! Those scouts are very well hidden!

Thanks Torgar

Thank you, I almost used a second green in the tree to give some different shades, but ended up just going with the flowers and mushrooms for some variety

Cool scene! Those scouts are very well hidden!

Thanks
