Vine Covered Arch

Post by Ashkestral »

Out in the forest by an ancient archway covered in vines, an apothecary gathers herbs.

I'm still working on getting a lighting setup; I have instructions, I just have to get all the pieces together. My first MOC worth posting.

Arch is fantastic!! Love how the connection is hidden so its all arty and looks great. I would put a shield there if using the design for castles.I probably will borrow this idea sooner than later!

I have not seen that female torso/dress piece before, that's a great one for the castle/medieval theme. I would love 1 too if I knew where it was from.

Thanks a bunch for sharing. Cheers!!!

The arch is well done, though it would be much better using dark grey studs in place of light gray. Still, great little scene.

First time I saw that Professor Sprout figure I thought it would be perfect for the local herbalist/healer type.

I like the idea of using a shield at the top of the arch. I was thinking this used to be a shine to some old sun/moon god or goddess, and the face had just eroded away...

Does that torso have flesh coloring at the neck?

It does not. The printing looks like it is supposed to be some sort of corsage. I have one in right beside me that I just inspected...
