Occupied Cytherean Parrotman Village
« on: August 06, 2013, 02:29:00 PM »
Huts made from coconut halves, here seen as a Cytherean Parrotman village occupied by invading colonial British forces.

The hardest part of this whole thing was cutting the coconuts into even halves. The tastiest part was eating the coconut meat. The doors were just two parallel hacksaw cuts up into the shell and then snapped off with a pair of pliers. The post and lintel are bamboo skewers, washed with brown ink.

You, sir, are not allowed to attempt a takeover of the solar system until your octopus sobers up.

Well done Froggy! They do make nice looking huts for parrotmen.

Especially the parted-from-the-tree ends; the little tri-eyed part looks like strange cooking non-chimneys.

Those lizardmen, they are such savages, aren't they?

Indeed they are.  How dare the native High Cythereans arm them with modern weapons!

So simple yet so nice.
Well done.  ;)
