[Freebuild] Embervale - Catfolk Bandit Cart

[Sympatik Brick]

My entry, as a team with @Aurore, for the collaborative category of Brickscalibur.
As always it was a nice experience to collaborate with « GoH folks », after @Eyrezer in 2021 and @socalbricks last year. It was a pleasure to build for the lore of « Chronicles of Embervale »

THE BUILD

« We catfolk are playful creatures, and just like all cats, chasing preys is our favourite pastime. Since we have the fastest carts in a mountain range crisscrossed with trade roads, it’s quite a lucrative hobby ! » - Greon, catfolk bandit captain.

THE STORY (see Aurore´s topic!)

Well, you already know how much I love the shape of the cart, and how proud I am of our joint entry - and of the consistency between our builds! 
It has been an amazing experience to create this with you, and I have to thank you again for letting your catfolk dwell in the mountains around Embervale. I owe you one!

Great job keeping the same aesthetic as Aurore!  I like the addition of a waterfall to differentiate yours and it's so sparkly and beautiful.  Really nice carriage too, I love the curve along the sides!

First i was confused, seeing the same build twice. But wait, it's not the same build... Great collaboration, you guys! Both builds capture the same aesthetic so well, it's flawless.

The waterfall is a great addition to the scene! And i love the creature-drawn bandit cart!

Excellent creation to pair with Aurore's. The chariot is well done!

Absolutely gorgeous!  This is a work of art.  The scene is fantastic, from the stylish and elegant border to the bi-level build with very complimentary color choices. The contrast of the fall foliage against the olive is great, and you do a nice job incorporating the browns.  The rockwork in particular is great!  I love that it's not just a bunch of stacked slopes and that you took the time to do SNOT with some wedge slopes.  The cat people mixed with the various hoods and armor looks nice, and the chariot is a great shape and it's a fantastic idea to use 2 wargs to pull it.  The waterfall provides a nice contrast and the SNOT there has some nice froth to the water, although the rest of the scene is so well done it doesn't really stick out as the focus of the piece, which I think is to your credit.  I appreciate the extra shot of the build without the minis, as it gives us a good look at your technique.  Great work!  Keep it up!
