Great job, I can already guess what "S" will be :)
Probably either slave, squire, or slayer.

Oh, Oh! Who knew it! :P

She looks ...old. One of her torches is going to fall on her :lol:

In all honesty, this moc isn't among my favorites. I dunno what's it's missing, but it just isn't an eye appealer for me.

Not that it isn't good.
I ow it to wunztwice for directing me here.

The most eye-catching thing in this MOC is the use of that flag piece. I've been looking for a castle use for that, and while most I've seen don't look good, I think you've done a great job with it here.

Great little vig. Excellent use of that flag piece, I never would have thought to use it that way.

What doesn't really do it for me is the color combination... I'm personally not a fan of the green/dark red combination, but given my options: regular red (awful :shock: ), white (looked too princess-y), brown (looked too dirty), dark bley with toga (looked too Roman) and dark red (looked too dark red), green was the best.

I've been waiting ever since I got that set to use it in something, but never got around to it. Glad to see it worked out.

I don't mind the use of the McGonagol robe, but you should have given her a different face. I just see the Professor in a different hat. And maybe a different hat/hairpiece would make her less princessy (currently old maid princessy, with the face). When the new damsel-in-distress hair is available, swap it out?

I'm a fan of our vignetes, but this one could have been a little better i think.
I'm missing a small crown (something i really expected to see when reading you made a 'queen moc')...right now it also could be a mage for me....
And maybe a throne, some guards or people bowing for the queen would help....

Still i do like it, but i think others you made are better. :wink:
You want a piece of me?!?!

Yet another great vig. At first, my mind didn't think of Queen, and I was wondering how you were going to pull Q off. Now, I'm looking forward to X and Z. :lol:

Very nice! I like the combination of colors. The dark red goes well with the grey.

Aw, that was too easy for Q. Maybe the second series'll be harder to think of, hmm?

Anyway, very nice, though I personally detest that head...

Oops! forgot to reply to this one!

Great vignette, as always. I really like the use of that flag. Nicely done.
