once again,great job!
I love the way you made the swan and the ducks heads-a great use of levers in castle creations- :)
I also like the way you made the lady's legs and dress.
Great ideas and nice looking figs.

Another great figure/'accessory'! I really like the swan, it might be kinda big, but those things are huge anyways, (and generally lego fig accessories tend to be kinda large for the figs) so I don't think too much of it. But I do really like the design of it.

The legs and dress are neat as a new idea, but I'm not too fond of them. Maybe if you added a couple blue plates under the top slope (so as to show less leg, only shoe?) I might like it better. Of course it's not my fig, but that is my opinion.

But still a very nice job. I'm always up for new ideas, and I'm glad you are playing around with some!

Great figures Marakoeschtra!

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite builders. You are one of those types of people who make such great Mocs, that I have to pull at a pen and paper to take notes with. :wink:

I like the birds the best.

Thanks guys for all your replies ! :D
It really motivates me to continue this gallery !

Today's character is this juggling jester:

And yes, those three balls above him are photoshopped. :wink:
Of course, I could have done it like legoknight, but I thought this would give a more "real" feeling to the scene.

I like him! The headgear in cool, and I've never seen anyone do that. I also like that royal knights torso, it works well with the checkered pattern. Again a great fig, I can't wait for another!

Your photoshopped juggling thuds look good, but here is yet another way to do it...http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=174092 (found this on MOCpages)
