Joe Vig Goes Spulunking

Post by Dr. J »

Here's my first official vig, which happens to be a Joe Vig vig, which also happens to be a pretty big booger, too.

Story:
One day, Joe vig went for a walk through his yard.

Being Joe Vig, he tripped on a large rock that went tumbling away after he fell. He looked at the place the rock had been, and lo and behold, it was a cave!

He ventured through his trusty headset flashlight for hours, hoping it would lead him to a treasure room that he could use to pay all his doctor bills. :wink:

Let's just say that in doing this, another doctor bill piled on...

It may not be considered an "authentic Joe Vig-vig" since I didn't use the Ron Weasley head.
I don't own his head, so I improvised and used the head in my collection that looked most clueless. :wink:
Hopefully, my improvation didn't kill the rest of my vig.

:D Hehheh, nice one. I don't think your improvisation ruined it at all, it's quite funny. Heh, doctor bills- Joe must be in a lot of debt! :lol: Good job!
...and that's how Equestria was made!

Pretty good. I like the joke, original (at least to me), and nicely done. The rocks are pretty good, as are the caves. Not exactly Joe Vig, but if you don't have the proper atire, it's fine.

Nice. It's always nice to see Joe around every once in a while.
The whole idea you have here works very well and the construction is done nice!

Very nice, Dr. J. I like the way you used both browns to simulate the diverse caveside.

Thanks, everyone.

VISOR1, that sounds like an intresting idea, but I wouldn't know where to start.

P.S. well hey, if you hadn't mentioned it, I didn't even notice it wasn't the Ron head. good choice of substitute!
