CCCIX Bandit Raid

[Frank_Lloyd_Knight]

I'm not really happy about how this came out -- It was a mistake to put green characters on a green background. But since the only reason I even thought of this idea was in response to one of the contest categories, I decided just go ahead and post it and maybe I'll benefit from some intelligent criticism. But I at least think the idea is amusing: Bandits disguised as trees robbing the local nobleman. I only have two photos because it's really meant just to be seen from one viewpoint.

Simplistic yet creative at the same time. Way to go.

Surely the camouflage effect was what you were going for? It looks good anyway, the only thing I can suggest to maybe make them stand out a bit more would be to use some foliage/plant pieces in the background rather than the slopes - so that the textures are at least different. Also the sun seems a bit (scarily) massive... The rest is great, a pretty unique and interesting effect overall.

Very funny ! I remember there were a kid in "Gremelins" (1) (movie) who is disguised as christmas-tree.

For me the first pict was OK for understand how is the set.

Isn't that the point though, to blend in?

It looks pretty good to me. Great idea
