Hello! Welcome to Epic Igloos, the blog series where I show off igloos that I didn't make to you guys so you could either build them yourself or visit them. We have a real great bunch to show you today, so let's get started right away, shall we?
Let's start off today with the regular batch of kingdoms, starting with this Kingdom built by Pizza99134 (or 99314, having 5 numbers in your name isn't usually smart, and I'm talking to you Matthew92356). It has a nice river with 2 bumper boats, some river plants, a stone path, 2 castle entrances, one leading to the throne room and the other leading to the fortune-teller's room, a nice little woodstove, a set of huts, animals, mushrooms, puffles, a clock, apartment mailboxes, a dinosaur head, a well, a scorn statue, some puffle wild huts of some kind or another, balloons, 4 thrones, 2 lamps, plates full of treats. I like this igloo. It has lots to do, tons of well-placed decorations, thrones for the king, queen, and princess(es?) respectively. The mushrooms remind me of the mushroom kingdom from Super Mario Bros. While I feel the river plants could be moved up and one row of river removed, it's otherwise very nice. The tiki torches also make it feel more realistic.
The igloo you see above the line of text that you are reading right now is an Ogre Kingdom built by Babycrier. He's been on this site before and I feel he'll be here more, just like Politzania. Why? They are so good and it's easy to find him. Anyway, this igloo features lots of plant life, a river that leads into a lake, A cool house built into a tree, fires placed in a few places, cool bookcases, O-Berry bushes, a little reading area, a room with treasures, a kitchen, bridges, cabinets, and more. This is a nice igloo, but I feel we could have done without the tall trees. They block our view and take up igloo furniture for the 99 item limit. I also think there could have been more to do here. A Card-Jitsu mat would be nice if placed in a good position.
This is a train built by Cutiepy49. It has a nice sidewalk with a manhole cover (surprisingly I've never seen that before), a bench, a few lines, a spot for the driver as well as multiple seats for the passengers. It turns out that this train is on the red line (haha, I know my puns suck) using red carpet as an advantage. The benches are a good representation of the yellow line on the edge of the cement to remind people not to get too close. The spring and yard furniture regularly wouldn't be there, but they are a nice touch. It also features lots of trees on the opposite side of the track. I had fun driving the train here.
Demisalvino built this Mermaid Kingdom. It features tons of underwater life, lots of cream soda, cutouts, crystals, puddles underwater, stone furniture, a nice harp, a cave filled with treasure, an underwater spring, a river, a boat, a stage, O-Berry bushes, tall grass, and more. I don't really have much to say about this igloo. This igloo is more about what you can do while being a mermaid rather than what you can do with the furniture. It is a little cluttered as well. But all that is redeemed when cream soda is raining out from somewhere (right behind my penguin in the picture). It's nicely decorated, but a little cluttered.
This TEMPLE RUN Igloo was created by Thomas Roks, who has appeared on this series before. It has stone paths, water, plants, rocks, green slime, lava, pits, a doorway, and that's about it. It does capture the feel of Temple Run's atmosphere, but it isn't without it's touch. Running endlessly from demon monkeys that try to kill you for stealing the god of an ancient civilization. But anyway, this igloo has squid tentacles popping out of the slime, which is nice. It is kinda confusing why there is water, lava, and slime instead of just one of those, but it doesn't take too much away. It features lots of sharp turns, jumping,

ReplyDeleteWow, that's cool! I was surprised enough when Politzania found this site, but 2 featured artists? It's not common for such a small blog to have this happen to them. Sorry for the late reply.
