Slime Kings are giant slime. In some games, you battle a smaller Slime that calls friends. Once there are 5 or so Slimes on the battlefield, they merge into a Slime King. In other games, the Slime King is a monster you can talk and interact with.
Like most of the other slime builds, this build is created with clear blocks. Regular nanoblocks are used for the face and crown. This build is similar to the Slime L build for the base. Over the first 5 steps, you lay out the bottom of the build while also making the second layer that holds the base together. After completing the base, you begin to add height to the build. You do this by tracing around the outside. You add a few layers of just blue to make up the fat body of the slime. Then you add the details of the face, including eyes and a mouth, in additional layers. After you add the face, you begin to close up the body. Once the head of the slime is almost closed up, it’s time to add the crown. You start with a layer of goldish yellow bricks to form the base of the crown. You then add the green and purple detail of the body of the crown. The crown is topped off with a gold detail as a finish.
Overall after completing the base, I found this build to be delightful. The base is tricky, along with some of the steps to close up the body. I feel like the build is highly recognizable as a King Slime. I really like some of their details to make it look right. This includes the coloring of his crown and the fact that they created puffed-out cheeks.
Things I liked:
- The cheeks are puffed out, though it is a bit hard to see.
- I like the detail in the crown
Things I didn’t like:
- I’m still not a fan of clear bricks
