I have been inspired

Okay, so i posted once somewhere else that i was interested in a Beowulf/Grendel figure (from the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf). Well, at that time, i did not know that they gave a description of grendels lair, etc etc etc. Well, we just finished it up today (about 10 minutes ago) and i have been inspired. I plan on setting up a map with an underwater cave on one end to represent grendels lair, and on the other end a castle to represent the mead hall called Herot, which grendel attacks numerous times.


Who knows, maybe i can score some EC with my teacher :wink:


PoF: If you read this before i talk to you, i might end up keeping your castle set longer than expected.






I'd really love to make a custom for these guys, but my creativity is lacking.....

have you seen the movie beowulf and grendel? i cant say it was the best movie i've ever seen or anything but something about it really got me. part of what i loved was the icelandic landscapes (pictured below) and part of it was the unexplained weirdness. anyway, though the story got a little silly at the end, the effect overall was pretty cool and VERY heroscapish.
