Dredging up more Atlantis

Post by SavaTheAggie »

I've created two more stickers for the Atlantis faction.

I based the designs for the Warriors off of This Guy.

The torso comes in two varieties- with and without the cape.

The shield comes in one variety.

Now before you go off and say it... YES... I know the torso looks like it came out of Tron. Yes, it looks like a robot. But they're not circuits, they're runes! Runes I tell you! Runes!

In any case, I'll probably have to go back and edit the runes, at least on the torso, so that you people will stop the teasing I can already hear about Atlantis being populated by robots.

Yupy, he looks like a LEGO guy! I don't think I will use the one with the cape. Has LEGO even made a blue cape :?: :?

Yes, lego has a blue cape.

I really do like the torso, but I think your right on getting rid of the runes. However, on the sheild design, the runes look very good, and fit the design well.

Hey Anthony, I'll have to agree that the torso is a bit "busy" with all the runes. However, I don't think you should get rid of them all together. I like the runes, it gives kind of an elder feel to the Atlantians. Keep the runes in the circles and on the white shoulder piece (possibly a rank designation). Otherwise, it looks good IMO.

It comes in the first Hogwarts set in the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone line.
It also may be featured in the diorama sets of that line, I'm not sure.

The cape you are referring to is not blue, it is violet. It does not match well with Lego blue. I will post a pic later.

To my knowledge LEGO made a blue cape. It's plastic, came in some of the 80's sets :)

I've edited some of the runes up, I think it's an improvement.

While this is the soldier's torso, I also changed the captain's version, but I did not upload it so that there could be a comparison between before and after.

Just poined out the stud-gap for the Demon Maw kite shield - same gap on yours (I missed the exact same thing the first time I used the studded rim, too).

However, my suggestion would be to move the runes from the interior of the shield and move them out to the rim. I really like the idea of the runes, just not their current placement and design.

Colors: metal on metal. Blargh.

Pay no attention to me if that's what you like, though. :D

Better and better. Personally, I don't think that it looks like robot circuitry. To me they look like.... runes. :)
