Things I wish I had pictures of

[Silent-sigfig]

USA Emancipator-class(I named it) robot=win.

[Ross_Varn]

Well, currently both the USA and the FELC have one, so I'm rather indecisive over who to give it to.

Or not.

Nah, we'll see what comes up.

[Silent-sigfig]

Roll a 1d2

On a 1 it's a FELC type-69 battlesuit

On a 2, it's a United Systems Alliance Emancipator-class power armor.

Actually, I'd love to see the innards.

[Tzan]

Jake Gyllenhaal hummus assplosion area effect attack.
Maybe cone attack rule.
Gake Jyllenhaal?

[Warhead]

HAHAHA

[Tzan]

You've seen it before and it still puts a smile on your face.

I guess I'll have to re-post this whenever Warhead gets grumpy

[Warhead]

You'd do better just taping it to the inside of my eyelids then. I bought three of these brown bushes since seeing that first post... for no reason, honest.

[Cpt. Zipps]

Are my new pictures of the mechanik disassembling the leg any better?

[stubby]

Nah, you still can't really tell what's going on in any of them. I mean I know what's going on obviously, but if I slapped one of those photos down in front of a random person and asked them to tell me what was going on, I don't think they'd be able to.

The first two photos still have the most usable bits. One has what is very obviously a mechanic, and the other has what's very obviously a mech standing on a crutch. If I used them together, I think everyone would be able to reconstruct that sequence of events.

Well hell, I might end up using them both. I'd rather do it all in one picture, but I'll look at it more later and see if it can work with two.

[RunsWithLegos]

i wish i could help. but alas. i am a noob.

Wait! i cold have Old Man Abernathy's roof throwing as an example of a random object!

[Ross_Varn]

Wait, what about mine? Does the patching picture work?

so what exactly is needed in that one, almighty, light-bringing photo?

The photography and scene composition are nice on yours, but the mech has such a black and chaotic silhouette, and there's so much going on in the scene, that it'll just turn into a visual scribble if I shrink the images down.

The image that reads the best is the one that shows the least - in the closeup of the mechanik welding a plate in front of the pilot's face, you still can't tell what the mech is very well, but you can definitely tell that that's a mechanik and that he's welding a plate in front of a pilot's face. So that's a funny little vignette moment by itself, I can use that one.

[Ross_Varn]

Hrm. The chaoism in the disassembly vig was based on your comment about "middle of some hot brikwar action", but the all black mech prolly wasn't the best choice of a focus. Glad you could use one of them.

Just a quick note to myself to dig through the Why Us battle photos later - MrBlobJr has got some nicely-staged little vignettes:

One of these days I really have to just sit down and mine through all the forum battle threads one by one.
