Divination

Post by BuilderQ »

I've started a new series of vignettes showing some of the many forms of divination. :roll:

Both very funny. As to building techniques, I like how you used those Technic pieces for the wall in Axiomancy. I also like the telescope in Meteoromancy. Can't wait to see more!

This was really funny, as the others have said. My favorite has to be the Meteor vig, not only because it's funny but because it's so creative. I like the use of the technic pins for stars in the background, and the meteor is a great combination of common pieces (even a big rock piece!).

At first I thought you were going to show real forms of Divination, but these are even better. 8)

They are real forms of divination!
They're both funny, but I like the one with the shooting star. It's very creative, with the stars, comet, and awesome telescope.
Poor meteoromist, he's gonna get flattened! :twisted: Did you use an Ogel head for him?

These are very well done! Excellent photography to, especially with the Meteor vig. I don't think i've seen a wall built out of thoes technic peices before. Good idea!

Cheers.

As said by others, the stars in Meteoromancy are way cool. If anything could be improved, I think maybe placing tiles over the green studs would give it a smoother look, and perhaps would be better... but that's MHO. Anyone have a divining rod? :D

And, in Axiomancy, is that a cousin of Joe Vig? :lol: Nice idea for a wall... Both are great vigs!!

Wait no longer! Return to explore Cyclomancy and Pyromancy!

And so I did in Cyclomancy. :D

Yes, I figured that his eye would get a bit bleary from all that stargazing.

I love your pyromaniac. :) Most likely because there is a little of that in me...there's nothing like a good bonfire.

I want to see how you made the horse. Very interesting.

Cyclomancy is also hilarious, and the brick-built horse is great! (Where did you get the grey wagon wheels?)
