Title: Funeral of a King
Post by: Rasputin on November 19, 2008, 00:02:38
Just something i set up last night and decided to take a few pictures . I do not know why they are carrying around a skeleton but they are ?

I tend to like the lower angle shots but then they do not give a birds eye view of what is going on

I liked this shot of the Sir Polkadots all lined up

And here is what the precession is all about

I could not figure out a dead klickies facial expression or lack of one so i chose just to by pass it altogether

great pictures rasputin.  :wow:
the glass coffin looks great - maybe medieval tech was not quite able to produce such big and transparent panels - but it still looks great.  :love:
thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing those pictures with us Rasputin! I love that crystal coffin and that blister pack was one of my favorites. Thank you.

I should never have looked at your beautiful funeral procession the third time, Rasputin.

I was all caught up in your medieval splendor ... then I saw the US Cavalry guidon ...  :'(

However, (except for that "misplaced" flag) I really liked it!

All the best,
Richard

I was wondering when somebody would notice the flag  :lens: After i posted the picture i was going to Photoshop it out then i thought it might be fun to see how fast it gets picked up  :)9

An unusual topic, Rasputin, but beautifully set up and photographed.

Beautiful - those red knights with black lion rampant are my favourite type yet, as the Heraldry is very realistic. I wish they'd do more like these instead of the dragon and wolf heads.

I think the faceless klicky is perfect for a dead'un, and the skeleton looks great.

Ouch--the bend in the skeleton's arm gave me the shivers.

Creative display!

PS.  Dead klickies smile.  Did you expect anything less?

Hello Rasputin

This is an excellent little set up :wow:. I was fascinated to see how you dealt with the 'dead head' in the end. How did you actually do this ? My first guess would be that you put the head on back to front ? Either way it is very effective and conveys the message that he is dead really well. I also like the skeleton's arm being bent to hold the sword, a really nice touch. I have my own theory as to why they might be carrying the skeleton with them but i doubt this fits in with the actual story itself, it just sparked my imagination.
