Your chance to win a free AoN & Fungi forreals tho

Grumph's was awesome with using different models to color in the different parts.

The sheer scale of Aka's is crazy.

How long did that take you to assemble Aka? Like how many real life hours?

I wanted to recreated the classic EQ skeleton, complete with a speech bubble saying 'ha ha ha!'. The naked male high elf seemed like the perfect color, and when oriented correctly the dark feet give almost a drop-shadow/3d effect... at least that's what I was going for!

Based roughly on the number of stacks of fishing grubs used (one grub per corpse), I estimate the body count at 700+. It ended up being larger than I originally planned and the kelethin platforms are above it, so in order to get a good straight-down view I had to combine three screenshots.

I recommend watching the video to get a better sense of it, or even better: go see it in person. It's in Kelethin on Blue. As of the time of this post, it's got a little over three days before it starts disappearing. Just head NW from the PoD lift until your framerate drops. [You must be logged in to view images.

Skeletons do not “ha ha ha”, they “he he he”. Do it over you failure

I didn't keep very close track of time, so I'm afraid I couldn't give you an exact number of hours. Before I really even started I spent a couple evenings messing around with the location and procedure before finally settling on this. Once I started in earnest, I spent four evenings and part of two days working on it. I can definitely tell you that making all the corpses took longer than arranging them, though neither was what you'd call quick.

probably significantly less hours than it would be if he were to farm plat or obtain dkp for an AoN the conventional way

I thought I had my next attempt all mapped out:

But then Aka just raised the game so high. I've gotta go back to the drawing board.

Maybe something like this...
