The Daemon confuses me, is it really large? Those are the legs right? Otherwise, nice vig, if a little SV inspired :wink:

Yes it's supposed to be huge, ideally I would have built the whole thing, but I don't have enough spare pieces at the moment :(

:o I only just realised that, honestly. The original concept was for a giant clawed foot on the grass, with a guy attacking it with a sword and the terrified guy cowering behind a shield, but I hadn't got enough green left (I really need to buy more bricks) so I decided to set it in the snow, as I had plenty of white. The guy cowering behind the shield didn't look very good, so I replaced it with him running away and the guy with the sword didn't particularly work either, so I used my wizard fig. Finally, the rings of fire came about because I couldn't find a good way of making it look like they were coming from the staff. Overall, it was an accident that it looks like it does, but I was probably influenced subconsciously as a result of seeing SV's scene. If any of that actually makes sense :?

I like the colors (contrast) and good action.

Well, no harm in inspiration, snow vigs are not nearly common enough IMO and yeah these things just happen.
