Pastoral Life CCCVIII - Silence before Storm

Post by Skalldyr »

Hi all,

here I would like to present you my Pastoral Life entrie:

On this stormy island, far away from the coast, lives the old shepherd. He inhabits his small hut, and is the only inhabitant. Often, however, if a storm arrives the birds begin to circle....

I'm seriously loving that wagon the shepherd lives in. Your trees are fantastic, too.

You really get the impression of a strong wind with the swaying trees and the lamp swinging on the shepherd's wagon. Great job!

I love the trees, water, and coastal rocks the most. You have perhaps the best brick built water I've ever seen. Good Luck :wave: .
Back to the front!

Nice Job. I like the boat being tossed against the cliff face, I can hear the sound in my mind. The fish and the rough water are cool, with the fish getting nabbed by the bird. The trees are also very creative.

A beautiful island! I love the boat crashing on the waves, a very realistic scene I might add! The sheep seem a little cartoonish but it is a clever design anyhow. The trees also take ones attention, with their bending trunks and swaying branches. Great work!

Wheeled shepherd's hut... brilliant idea, beautifully executed. And a wonderful sense of motion and life throughout.

why does he need a wagon to live in on that tiny island? :wink:

Great job overall, and the wagon is well done.

And so he slipped into the forest, vanishing without a trace, leaving his pursuers lost without ideas, while he went to finish his MOC's.
