Searching (Fractured Kingdoms)

 I know, I know - it's a digital render, but after 2 months of sitting around doing mostly nothing I had to do something, and what's there better than doing something Lego-related? The result was a digital MOC created for the Fractured Kingdoms Monthly Challenge. I like to classify this type of MOC as a set, meaning it resembles something of a movie set - there are no complete buildings, just individual walls created for the purpose of taking one render. The end result looks fantastic, even if the build itself looks pretty horrible. 

Approximate build time: 5 hours

Number of pieces: 2136

Availability of the pieces: As this is a digital model, a lot of rare pieces were used, including the light aqua in the walls and the dark brown plates and curved tiles. Some of the bricks used don't even exist in the color used in real life.

Favorite part of the build process: Finishing it. Building digitally is not by any means my favorite thing to do, and to be honest I was relived when the final render was taken and the MOC was posted.

Level of difficulty: It's hard to tell with digital models, but I'd say moderate - no incredibly hard techniques were used, and as this was a model built in Stud.io, illegal techniques are impossible to use.

Below is the story that went with my MOC for the RPG:

Although the sun had just barely come up, the city was already full of life. I traveled down the bustling streets, marveling at the differences between our two kingdoms and their inhabitants. Wherever you turned it was impossible to avoid distraction - vendors crying at the top of their voices, children playing in the streets, the chinking of chain-mail. Not to mention the architecture, which would be impossible to find anywhere in Isloriel. Despite the many differences between Kader and my home kingdom, I had to admit the city did have its charm to it.

However, after many hours of searching, its charm began to wear thin. I had been given orders to search the city in the hopes of finding a larger elven population, but amidst the constant distractions and crowded streets, it was beginning to seem impossible.

After an entire day of constant searching, I began to see no purpose in continuing. After all, I had no assurance the elves I was looking for even existed. That was when out of the corner of my eye I noticed a dark hooded figure clad in green and brown, slowly disappearing from view. As she rounded the corner, her hood seemed to slip slightly, and I caught a glimpse of what resembled elven ears. Having no other leads, I followed her deeper and deeper into the heart of the city, desperately hoping she would lead me to others of her kind...
