Old Bruin was hungry - of course he always was, but it happened that now he was even more so than usual. What with all the turmoil going on in Historica, not even he could escape the general lack of food... at least relatively speaking. With his thoughts running in these rather uncomfortable channels, the Bruin, with a pit in his stomach at least the size of a Kaliphlinian rhinoceros - supposing such things exist - wandered into the meadow, where his eyes rested upon a most appetizing sight.

There in the middle of the field stood an unfortunate hunter - though whether it was more unfortunate for the hunter or Bruin that he happened to be there would be hard to tell. He certainly did not seem to be relishing his task. Unnoticed by Bruin, his companion, who he seemed ready to die to exchange places with, strung his bow with a grin and a wink.

Though it was cold, the sweat poured down the not-very-experienced hunter's face, as he pricked the Bruin in the side. Meditating on the little rascal's audacity, Bruin raised his arms to protest... well, that is what he said, anyhow.

Well, there the poor old Bruin's tale was cut short - rather like the tail's of most of his kind, you may note - by an arrow from the archers unerring bow.

My entry to SK's husbandry challenge on GoH, and one of my favorite builds to date... and it was about time to build something in Mitgardia again! Although he was undoubtedly the most difficult part of the build, the bear - at least his arms and legs - are pretty poseable, and was a lot of fun to build. Thanks for viewing, C&C are welcome!

Excellent build, Garmadon! The snow is superb and you did a great job with the dense foliage

Thanks LJ, glad you like it! And now I finally have enough leaves and stalks to do some decent foliage again!

well done! I like how you did the pine trees, but the best part is the bear's head (especially the snout.)

What a fantastic brick-built bear! The best one I've seen.

Thanks Leo! Glad you like the bear - it was also the most difficult thing to build!

Thanks a lot Caelan, glad you like it!

Great use of foliage. I think the mix makes it look natural and realist. Love the face on the bear.
