Description:
The forest is dark, wet, and horribly alive. Biting, scratching, whirring things lurk in every crack and crevice of the jungle, and the air is scented with vegetable rot. The soldiers swelter in the heat, but the strange scientists seem untouched. Supposedly, they come on the king's orders. Supposedly, they're here to keep them all alive. Brass glints, pockets swell, gears whirr, eyes gleam red in the half-light.
What choice do the men have but to trust them?

- Probably darkness. I've tried all sorts of things, but the only thing that comes close is In The Ruhk, and it came down to the tree/grass combo or the background. Prolly going to try an updated avi at some point; it may include In The Ruhk instead, though I think it's a tad friendly for the theme ^.^

- Thanks, but yes, I'm afraid costumes aren't really my strong suit, especially given the budget ^_^; If you have any suggestions, they'd be welcome~!

- I actually really like this concept. Science meets nature. I can almost imagine cracking a tree open to see gears implanted inside. I'm not sure about the overall design of the avi, though. 3/5
