The Brothers Brick

….to someone not from here. Da Eart, by Cole Blaq, is freaking me out. I keep looking in the mirror to see if this really what earthlings look like. I think I’m getting there.

It’s not easy to build realistic creatures in LEGO on a small scale, but midnightcat have skillfully created a flaming stallion called Nightmare. I really like the use of the new flame pieces for the mane.

Naneto has conveniently titled this pair of adorable rodents Cute Overload.

These little guys are naneto’s entries in the 1st LusOlympics, a LEGO contest hosted by two Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) LEGO fan communities, Comunidade 0937 and LUG Brasil.

Erik Smit shows how its done with this whimsical redeux of Gold Tooth’s Getaway.

By the way, I really like the idea of this sort of challenge, specifically rebuilding a set in whatever fashion each builder prefers. I hope that more groups give this kind of thing a try.

I’ve been having nostalgic interest in old and short-lived themes, so it was nice to see this this Islander chief on his gorilla steed. I especially like how Ed captures the beefiness of the arms and the curve of the knuckles on the gorilla.

Sorry for the image quality, it’s to do with my linking, [...]

Box guy meet Fedde (Karf Oolhu), Fedde meet box guy.

The minifig in this little dio by Evildead may want to keep running, but I have a dog sitting next to me here who’s willing to take on that two-horned beast.

No, seriously! He barks at them when they come on TV. Anyway, I think this is the first brick-built rhino that I’ve seen. It’s an [...]

Lord Dane presents the best minifig-scale xenomorph from the Alien series that I recall seeing.

Exo-Force robot arms, minifig hands, and even flippers add a lot of organic detail to the alien.

Like Dan, I picked up a bug at BrickCon, but unlike him I dont’ have the good sense to avoid blogging while sick.
While (or “whilst,” if I want to be contextually appropriate) BrickCon was the big event on this side of the Atlantic last weekend, builders in the UK geared up quite successfully for [...]

Hippotam takes on the evil amphibian menace with his forest wizard and out-of-control, whirly flames!

Juho William serves up this surreal creation. Everything seems to come together perfectly to create a creepy sense of wonder. I’m fascinated and can’t stop looking at it.

Daiman Mardon has an adorable terrier named May-Ling. Well, we assume she’s adorable, given how cute her LEGO alter ego is.

This giant cyborg eyeball by Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick) is just a little bit creepy.

It’s Halloween every day at Matt’s house, so I’m looking forward to him really gearing up for this coming holiday with more great creations like this one. In his case, I’ll forgive the starting holiday decoration and building two months in [...]

Nothing, it’s lovely, as is this Shaun the Sheep from “Wallace & Gromit” by Piotr (Pepik), via the Living Brick — welcome back, OJ.

Nearly as cute is Pepik’s Polish “tankette”.

Anthony Sava challenged Classic-Castle members to build their own version of Steve the Ogre.
Sebastiaan Arts (Aliencat) took a more…modern approach.

Cheesers wants your cheese. Even as cute as he is, Legoholic won’t feed him, so you have to.

(Just to avoid confusion now, Legoholic built this. Tyler, aka Legohaulic, did not.)

V&A Steamworks has released yet another incredibly detailed clockwork sea-creature into the ocean depths. This one wants to sting you.

The miniaturization of LEGO dachshunds continues. Brickshelfer w9gfo recently posted this lovely little dog, completely with lolling tongue.

Here’s hoping Joel’s puppy enjoyed this post as much as Josie did.
