Wow 3 hours!!! very cool!

That path looks super smooth regardless of the twists and turns and I love the neat twirling magic effect of the stepped trans plates. I did some quick builds for last years games but this is a cracking build for three hours! Great job and good luck.

Haha thanks, I got most of the angles right but the actual photos show a lack of effort in lighting and clarity, but thanks none the less. Thats what I get for a 5 minute photo session...

This one was a lot of fun to view, and you really knew how to photograph the build in a way that shows off the best parts. Excellent work!

Excellent creativity and building skill! You bring the whole Earth thing alive in this, so well done, and congrats!

Great build again Thoy. I like the swirling trans pieces for the summoning.

It's a dream piece! Congratulations

I wasted 5 years of my life playing fantasy based computer games, I hope I took something positive away from it - like imagination ;)

Yes its sad but true - my skills at mechs and related shapes are very under-practised, and it should show...

Yes

magic?

The path alone was beautifully done, the statue was a nice surprise and the overall shape of your MOC is very artistic. Congratulations.

Yay! The kiwis are gonna take the world by storm in this contest!

Awesome! Congrats on reaching the next round.

You received a score of 46. Congratulations, you have made the top 64! Your will receive your opponent and category on Wednesday, September 21st. Good luck!

Oh man, that is an awesome build! I love the statue and the path. Very creative! Good luck with the judges!

A scene quite unlike any other I've ever seen made with bricks. I really love that path!

I do not know what I appreciate the most: the stairway? The mighty statue? The design and the clever use of rounded plates? The colors'choice? Maybe all combined. Great MOC, hope you reach R.2!

Wow thats great, possibly one of the best in the contest, good luck :D

Amazing for three hours!

amazing!

AMAZING STAIRS.

Give that man a prize!

Very nice, I like the stairs

I am loving this! Great piece usage, great curves, great build....hmmmm, sound like my next ex-wife.

Nice work! I so lost this contest...you guys are all so incredibly good!

As lush and imaginative as all your stuff. Good luck to you!

Cool.

This is awesome! I love everything about it! Great work! :)

Woah this is awesome, I hope you get to R2.

Wow.....

This is awesome!

Angles!

It's excellent, but even a rushed build is epic if photographed correctly. Wich would be pretty nice, you know.

Very nice entry! Especially for only spending 3 hours! Good luck!~Jelle

Thoy, this is awesome! As others have mentioned, the stairway is devine.

great piece! the pathway is superb!!!

Awesome, the stairs are excellent and I like the trans yellow around the earth monster! Good luck!

Love it!

The rocks, trees, shrubs, and pathway is really well done ! I must say the earth guardian is very cool, and you used great colors for it and the pieces to resemble vines is a brilliant idea. I think the "magic effect" around it is genius ! 5/5

I like curved staircase and nature arround.

Good work!

Yeah I was a little pushed for posting, as the cut off time in NZ is 5pm 14/09 when i'm at work. I was forced to use the flash here. Coulda done more with the background too...

The unique base alone warrants extra points. As for the rest of the MOC ... heavenly! Well, heaven on earth, hehe ... (Unsolicited advice: As the competition will get fiercer, the photography must also get better. I know you can photograph really well, but the pictures here will not fly in the later rounds. Good luck!)

Very nice scene! Love the Organic shape of It and the jungle like path, I think you could Have spent more Time on the monster though. Good luck

3 hours?! Boy you are one talented little kiwi. The shape of the base works so well with the earth theme, keeping it organic looking. the steps cutting up through the dio is pulling me in, making me want to walk up them. Excellent entry!

Three hours well spent. Good luck!~H

Yay, you made it! :) This is great, i love the curving stairs and the elemental gaurdian. Best of luck in the comp.

Very nice! I like the curved stairs and how you've made them look natural in the rocks.
