Passage of the Marshes...

Hewkiril · Post by **Hewkiril** » Sun May 06, 2007 4:02 pm

There is a small road that winds through the marshes. It is generally abandoned, but every now and then a peasant [with his best armour of course, these are troubled times] takes a risk and takes the shortcut to the castle to sell his goods. There are inherent risks in traversing an abandoned swamp filled with all manner of unseen menaces and giant leeches smart enough to create and coordinate complex plans, but if it gets you money faster, why not?

So here is said peasant, traversing said swamp.
See the overgrown fence and small bridge? Just ignore the leeches..
A closer look at the fence.
Remember what i said about these inherent risks?
A look down one of many waterways that traverses this swamp.
The peasant in all his glory. Just ignore the ominous torn fence.
Keep on ignoring it....and the driftwood...
A closer look at the water, the peasant...and a camoflaged leech, ready to strike.
The peasants cart. Nice make.
See how the rear folds down to unload?
Hey, where'd the peasant go?

Enjoy!

Very nice. It's an interesting concept- reminds me of the chapter in LOTR when Gollum led the hobbits through the marshes.

That leech SUCKS!!! (Alright, someone had to do the horrible joke...

Just saving others from embarasing themselves

)

Seriously though that's a great idea for giant leeches and I love the black ground. It really gives a very bogg/swamp/marsh feel to the it, akin to the dead marshes from LOTR.

Nice work here!

Add a skunk, and it will stink, as well.

Awesome job, the swamp looks great, and the fence is cool. The Barnacle kranas (or whatever) as leeches is a good idea, mind if I steal that? The cart is cool as well, as is whatever I haven't named yet. Good job.

Cool! Nice idea for the leeches.

I may be the only one here to say this but someone has to say it. It looks good with all the scenery, cart, and peasant but I can't stand the leaches...

Very nice, Hewkiril! I like the way you did the landscaping.

I really do not mind, I'm just glad everyone likes it. I'm surprised I'm the only person who accidentally mixed their Lego and their Bionicle. And if you're wondering what broke the fence, you'll see it soon, hopefully.
