Lair Of The Lich King

/

This cool diorama by builder ReeseEH looks like it's right out of a movie or video game, and illustrates how much lighting can elevate a MOC. This is a simple setup, and rushed really, but compare these two shots and you can see just how much you can alter the mood with the lighting. Just imagine this with careful, deliberate lighting, it makes a world of difference.

Inside Out

/

This one's a bit morbid, but tempered with whimsy. Builder simplybrickingit built this MOC that rides a fine line between anatomical and humor. But it's the part use that really caught my attention. So many creative decisions in this, and so much questionable taste. Like my old friend James Cummins used to say, "inside each one of us is a skeleton dying to get out"

When Threepio was lost on the dune sea of Tatooine he encountered one of these, the skeleton a Krayt Dragon. The Krayt is an indigenous species of Tatooine, feared for their large size and fierce temper. They feed mostly on bantha, whose slow speed and poor eyesight make them easy prey for the...what's that?...tyrana-wha? Oh....

...Nevermind.
