My 6th submission for the RogueOlympics<\/a>. Quite a fun category again this week, as the prompt was “Nature”. It took me most of the week to decide what to build, but eventually I settled on the idea of a moss covered stone golem. Taking some influence from a variety of things: Rock Monsters in the Power Miners theme, earth golem concept art online, our previous Titan Tot<\/a> builds, and the Veggietales Rock Monsters from The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted him to be able to ‘awake’ from looking like a normal boulder to a lumbering golem and am very happy that it worked out. Besides the transforming function I spent the most time on his head trying to capture an appropriately craggy expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time I used fewer than 101 elements! Just 86 if counting the flowers on a sprue as a single part, or 98 if considering each flower separate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
