Great Photostory Wolf Knight!
This definitely goes into my favorite top ten Playmofriends photostories.
I think this is the first full story we've had on Playmofriends in the Egyptian theme (i.e. not just photos of sets or collections) and it's great! I'm pleased the bandits were exiled and not sealed up alive in sarcophagi, we all know how that ends up.
The floor works well as a background, the photography is well lit and focussed throughout, the story cracking along at a good pace. Your customs blend in and only a fanatic (i.e. Playmofriend) could spot that they weren't original figures. I don't know where your queen's body & legs come from, but they fit the context well.
There are two schools of design in Photostories, one which creates realistic backgrounds and eliminates all human elements (which I dub the Realist School), and the second that focusses on the klicky action and lets the mind's eye blot out and extraneous details (which I dub the Mentalist School). I lean heavily towards the Mentalist process, partly because it's easier, cheaper and quicker to accomplish a photo story when you don't have to spend weeks setting up, but mostly because that's how children play, letting their imagination fill in the details, following the original thinking of Hans Beck.
I applaud the Realists who have the patience to get every detail right (Tiermann, Playmofire and PlaymoVictorian's photostories are in this school, to name just three of the top of my head), but just as much I enjoy the "quick and dirty" Mentalist stories, which include Rasputin, you and myself.
