A little moc I made because I wanted to try out some forced perspective. It is based after one of the pictures from the Led Zeppelin IV album. Sorry about the picture quality, I've been trying out new locations and lighting to fix it, and hopefully it will improve soon. Also, I didn't use photoshop for the glowing lantern effect.

Quoting Mr. Xenomurphy This is a wonderful interpretation of the original artwork. The forced perspective works as good as the lightning and shadow effects.
Thanks! I am thinking of doing some more forced perspective or optical illusions because I really enjoyed making this one.

Quoting Owen S. This is incredible! BTW, you wanted me to explain how to make the Thief Lord's mask. I'm not sure of the exact piece, but there is a band that looks like a goggle that goes around minifig heads. Then, take out the green piece in the goggle and put a black spike there instead. ;) I hope that was clear. :P
I'm not quite sure what you mean by the goggle piece, is it purist? Do you think you could provide a link to a picture of the piece?

Quoting Ape Fight Great idea - looks very close the real picture. You could try exaggerating the height of the minifigure to make him look a bit more gaunt, some MOCers have good techniques for making their figures taller. Nice job, 4 stars
Adding some hight would have done some good, but then the cloak might look too short.

Quoting Elliot Lannon Cool! I wish you would have taken more pictures, but it looks very accurate.
Thanks! I did take more pics but I thought just doing one photo might have a cool effect.

Quoting Derek Berdine It's good to see some Zeppelin love, Ben. Thanks for that! :D Maybe try a small spotlight centered on the hermit's lantern and another on the city...trying to keep the spots from spilling over to the rest of the shot. Great set up, though. Rock on, bro! XD
Thanks! I still have it together, so I might try that.
