LCC Garheim - LC10 Phase 1 "Poor Tidings"

Post by EmperorMarkusI »

Hi all

Here's my entry for Phase 1 of the Garheim Local Challenge 10 for LCC. Hope you like it!

Marykk Torennson began yet another of his days as he always did, with a short walk across the town square to the armigers’ building to retrieve supplies. Or, he would have, except that a huge crowd had gathered in front of the gallows platform. It looked like everyone he knew was present…he even saw Aelbern standing in the back behind some friends. Marykk caught sight of Einryk’s burning red topknot and pushed his way through the crowd to stand with his friend in front of the platform. A finely-dressed messenger, flanked by shieldbearers, stood atop the planks with a scroll in his hand.
“Good people of Nereberg!” the man called, in a voice that said he was from the Jarl’s court. “I bring grave news. As many of you are no doubt aware, the invasion of the Magic Isles was something of a disaster.”

I'll post the rest of the story in the Garheim LC10 thread.
This is my first try at a smaller build so, sorry for the lack of details.

Wonderfully done! :) The expressions on the people's faces are perfect.

Thanks Justin! :-)

Yeah faces are my favorite parts of building characters. That and the hair. I tried to keep all the hair colors in-keeping with a kind of Nordic coloring, like Garheim. Although the red is probably a bit TOO red...hehe...

And I realize I used the Jet face with a mic...But the face is awesome (wish they made one without the mic, so...we'll just have to pretend it's a big earring :-)

Looks very good! Some of the beard-hair combos don't quite seem to fit, but it's not a huge deal. Good posing! Cool story! :)

lol well that's what makes them rowdy northmen ;-) Besides, scruffy short hair with a beard is better than slicked-back short hair and beard :-O
You're right though, I'll have to pay more attention to the combinations. Thanks for the reply! :-)

I'm going to keep the same story going through all my MOCs for LCC, so expect more of the same in upcoming posts :-)

It is a great story indeed!

The Garhims are obviously tough folks, even though there is snow some of them are wearing almost nothing :)

Sounds like a purchase of some capes from Cape Madness is in order ;)
