Description
Just a side distraction with some old greeble objects in Vue that Ariel-X modeled a few years, overlaid as dynamic eco-materials onto various flat objects (also modeled my master Ariel-X , as well as the Cataclysm ships and foreground tunnel). Mega fun, even though I had to coddle and sweet talk Vue in fear that it would lose its mind each time I added another greeble-crusted object. At some point I had to just say ENOUGH and go with what you see here. Character was made in Poser and imported.Many thanks to Ariel-X for the objects, and for prodding me along to finish and post this scene. (Side note and fun fact about Ariel-X -- a child actor who narrowly missed being cast as Damien in the original "The Omen" film. Can you believe?!

Lance! You and me both, old friend. I'm so behind and haven't been active for a while. Thanks! I'm glad you stopped by and like it. Was just playing around but was fun to get back into it, if for just a bit. Hope all is well in your world, bud!

Wow!! This is INCREDIBLE!! The composition on this is just perfect -- the scene feels incredibly vast. Really amazing work in every aspect!
For the record, we don't hear the phrase 'greeble-crusted' enough.

Thank you very much! I had so much fun making this. And ahaha, yes, we need to encrust greebles onto everything so that we can use that phrase more often!

I can see how explaining 'greebles' to 'normal humans' might be cumbersome. ("It's like in the first Star Wars movie, when they're in that firefight on the Death Star, all those little boxes and canyons on the surface of -- Wait. What? You don't remember that? Um... Okay, so you know how on the original Battlestar Galactica, there were -- Wait. No Galactica either? How about Star Trek Voyager? You know. The Borg? You will be assimilated? ... ... No?? Oh, COME ON.") I wouldn't have that problem, as I don't really associate with 'normal' humans. 
Well, that's not entirely true. I'm a teacher, so I do associate with them. I just make sure they leave my classroom knowing what a greeble is -- thereby propagating non-normalcy in the population at large!

Funny! You know, I've given that EXACT same quiz, almost word for word, about greebles. I end up just saying "FORGET IT!" or giving them the puppy-dog head tilt because, let's face it, if none of those examples makes sense to them, NOTHING WILL and that puzzles me and makes me sad at what they're missing. I'm honestly so thrilled that you teach about greebles -- "Teacher of the Century" award goes to YOU!

This has to be the largest Lego set ever. It's like galactic size quality. 
Fascinating 'little' piece on Bjorn. He's quite the talent and one of my absolute fave artists EVER.

Damien really? Daamn. And you... Long time no see. I wanted to thank you for creating such great pieces and inspiring me to improve my own techniques. I often refer to you as the gold standard by which I compare my own work. Thanks for the inspiration.
