Misery

Hey there,

Last night I parted a couple of new sets for my shop, but just had to keep the two trans-red tiaras from the one Indy set I bought, since I thought they had some nifty MOC potential.

After noticing that when put in a hat peice, it looked like my minifig's brains were spurting out, I soon put together this itty bitty MOC:

I feel really bad for this Orc.. He had a hard enough life as is..

That looks amazing

I like the orcs face

Poor guy! The tiaras do look great as blood splatter. I can see a Friday 13 or other bad horror movie being done with these.

I like how you placed the guy stepping on the orc. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Great idea using the tiaras. I love those potter faces.

Thanks, guys!

"I like how you placed the guy stepping on the orc. I don't think I've ever seen that before."

Thank you. I had realized a couple weeks ago that you can make a minifig curled up in a ball, so this is a bit of a variation of that (Haven't seen it done either, but you never know, I'm sure somebody out there has done it).

I really like using those Mandrake faces on Orcs. They go together very well.. In a sad way really..

I like how you did the leg but think it goes a little high. It might look better if you raise up the rest of the fig a plate or two. The spurting blood is very effective, as is the mandrake face.

Yeah, the leg could probably have aforded to be a tad lower (It was standing on a "rock", which measured two plates high), but it didn't look quite as appealing to me when it was just a plate higher than the other leg.

"The spurting blood is very effective, as is the mandrake face."

Thanks, Bruce!

Nice choice of torso, and a great small MOC. I could really see this tiara use catching on...

God Bless and thanks for sharing,

Nathan

Thanks, Nathan!

"I could really see this tiara use catching on..."

That would be great. It's a pretty cool effect, and it would certainly be usefull in detailed batter scenes and whatnot.

The good thing is, those tiaras run at a fair price over at Bricklink.

EDIT:
You could even use the trans-green tiaras for minifigs like orcs and such that you think might have green blood, or you could have a spilled potion bottle or something. They also have two different trans-blue ones, which could possibly used as water splashing.

I really like the face you used for the orc. It looks better to me than the official Orc/Goblin head TLG always uses. A whole lot of creativeness packed into an itty-bitty vig!

Also, I like your avatar. Did you draw it yourself?

Kudos,

Smiles

THAT... is incredibly cool. I saw it on your flickr a few days ago, and didn't think to check for a topic.

Oh well. It's still great. Poor troll!

I really like the Mandrake head-goblin(ork, troll whatever) body combo, makes me feel sorry for the poor thing.
