New Brickshelf Account!

Post by Chancellor Erik »

Well, it's just about time I created a new castle only BS account for sharing all my castle needs (and under my forum name).

Gallery (already moderated)

Some new MOCs:

A whole beasts and creatures section, with monsters like a Hellhound, my undead (compliments of Anthony's Abbadon's Army stickers), a golem (with a preview of my new orc), and some centaurs (with a telescope).

The rogues ropes course: a multi-layered forest agility challenge inspired by Jagex LTD's MMORPG Runescape. I can provide a breakdown of all the obstacles if anyone'd like.

The RSV Sheathed Phantom, my sigfig's personal ship. Equipped with a balista, multiple crossbow turrets, double catapults and ramming axes.

My 4th army stickers have been uptated along with a new orc face sticker.

And last, a few older displays you may be inspired by, such as the river land Mercaniel and the fortress city of Amerkahn.

So , enjoy! And I'm really looking forward to all sorts of feedback.

Nice job! I would like the hellhound better if it weren't so blocky. Good work on the stickers as well, but what is the '4' symbolhere?

A Great Job!

I like the hellhound (I love articulated beasties), but agree that it's a bit blocky - particularly where the legs meet the body. Unfortunately I can't think of a better solution than what you've created.

The centaurs look nice, but the destruction of the basic horse head is not my favourite option.

That's why I like using my posable horse to make centaurs.

First off, the 4 is just the symbol of the Imperial 4th army. Just a little something I found looked cool as a sticker. AS for the hellhound, it is a little blocky, but...

I couldn't either, so it shall remain as is for now. However, I am open to suggestions on how to improve the look without reducing the functionality if anybody has any.

The head itself was not destroyed at all actually. The horse splits in half, and with a little work, it can split into the two halves and the head can be slid right off. I've saved the heads incase I ever need to put the horse back together. If I had pictures, I'd show you (might go take some now).

But if you're refering to taking apart the horse in general, forget I even had to explain that :D .

Cool stuff!

Golem
I like the Golem even though it might be blocky looking, I think it works for it because golems can be made of rock. I think it could be a little bit taller on the legs. Love the droid fingers.

The RSV Sheathed Phantom
That ballista looks way too large compared to the rest of the ship. Ballista it self looks kind of large, what does it launch cows or very large boulders. You should use a small paintbrush to clean the dust off those hard to get places(I use this technique, works very good). Also if that ship's front axes are for scraping, would the ballista bow part hit those things too. Overall it's a good hit and run looking ship.

Catapult
Like how you used the space supporters for support.

Megablocks Hound
I think it looks fine. Not too blocky for me.
