Floating Rock

Post by james+burgundy » Sat Jan 23, 2010 8:11 pm

I made this over about a six hour period, its one of the most complex builds I have done in a while if not ever. This is it at about 98& done still have a bit more to do.

It looks weird with the orange and the brown on the walls. Try making it all either orange or brown.

Also, the little peak above the doorway doesn't really fit the rest of it because it's separate from the rest of the roof. Maybe try connecting them somehow.

Otherwise, pretty good.

Great, +1 redemption points for your sins/booty bothered. I don't however like the circular dome/tower/silo.

A nice Japanese feel to it.

Nice, very Avatar but like others your stuff just seems unfinished to me. If you're going to make such a nice effort then why not go that little bit further and explain some of it, populate it with mini-figs and give it a back story.

Yea, I agree with Warhead. A lot of your creations use so many tones and not enough little, interesting designs to make them really pop. The front balcony or whatever it is looks unfinished because of the different colored plates and studs; maybe try adding some railings?

Also, push some of your bricks down harder, a lot of them aren't together all the way and it just leaves that little gap.

Not the best floating rock I've seen.
The rock dosn't look right, it looks too upside down, like it formed the other way up and then was flipped over instead of always being like that.

I don't like the thin beam holding up the thick platform much, but assumeing that the rock floats then so must that (gravity, who needs it).

No, I think he did the rock part well. The Cylinder thing. I recon it's a communal shower for all the slap and tickle the female Ninjas get up to after work outs. Apparantly I have a dirty mind. It's a bloody great thing to have BTW.
