This “little” robot that m_o_n_k_e_y just posted on flickr is simply adorable. The bot has quite a lot of character, as well as a striking color scheme. The proportions between the body parts (big head and feet, small body) give lend a babylike quality that’s quite cute. Meanwhile, the gigantic gun warns us from pointing Continue reading →
Until today I was unfamiliar with the work of RGB900 but I’m very glad to have spotted his work on Brickshelf today. His Nightmare Carriage has excellent brick built horses and some wonderful use of parts. I’m very happy to have made my acquaintance with his photostream.
Taylor‘s dragon is no exception. The overall color scheme and texturing just work for this beautiful brick-built beast. I can’t decide if I either feel safe that this dragon is (theoretically) in my corner or threatened that it has a grudge against me. Fantastic work!
I looked at it, so now you have to. Guy Himber has done it again and I don’t know whether to laugh, cry or run away. I do know one thing. It’s disturbing on a deeper level because someone just saw this over my shoulder and swore at my screen. So it must be good, Continue reading →
This pegasus sculpture by Edulyoung is beautiful enough to highlight here, but the Technic pedestal reveals there’s more to this flying LEGO horse than pretty white bricks. This video of the pegasus in motion quite literally took my breath away. Via Legobloggen.
I would be if I saw this serpent built by Five X Five. The fluid form and deadly pose are spot on, but my favorite detail is the use of the flag piece for the snake’s forked tongue.
Making mecha with oodles of character is definitely one of RongYiren’s strong points. His Couple of Squares are no exception but take a slightly more convential robot shape to his typical work. The posing, little details and excellent colour use really make these polygons shine.
. . . I would so eat this. This entry by Sven Junga for the Mocathalon contest is fantastic in and of itself, but the brick built scalloped edge plate, garnish and crustacean flesh extractor all enhance the awesomeness.
This psychedelic Clickipiller train by Megan Rothrock (megzter1) is both a cute creative concept, and a bit disturbing. I especially like the googly eyes and odd angle of the mouth. I think I would generally be more into trains if they were covered in Clikits.
This time last year we were collectively preparing to worship LEGO Hawking, courtesy of Iain Heath. Now, the venerable Mr. Hawking is nothing but a prisoner of those damn dirty apes. I don’t trust Iain with my heroes of character anymore. What’s next, Iain? Will you turn Quorra into a Justin Bieber fan? Will you, Continue reading →
Rarely do we see creations featuring abundant chrome or metallic colored pieces due to the rarity of those parts. This one by Brad Edmondson depicts a cyborg warrior and her beast causing mayhem at a hangar. You can see an dramatized slideshow of the photos on Youtube.
Here’s a double feature of two creatures by Sean and Steph Mayo (Siercon and Coral). The first is called a serpent fly, which features great use of parts from the 1999 Insectoid theme. The second is a crystal dragon who not only looks angry but also deadly enough to inflict serious damage with those spikes Continue reading →
Ezra B. has shared this nightmare, and now I pass it along. Sleep well tonight…
Creature creator Tim Goddard (roguebantha_1138) demonstrates that Blacktron are non-discriminatory employers. Which is nice to know.
Those three blind mice. See how they run? According to Barney Main (SlyOwl), one wasn’t quite quick enough. There is a ton of great stuff hidden in plain sight in this photo. The whole presentation of it is just fabulous.
