Nelic73 has built a very detailed recreation of the famous statue of Christ that overlooks the city of Rio de Janeiro. The detailing on the face and the folds of the robe is first-rate.
I didn’t know until just now that this statue is the largest Art Deco statue in the world. I guess you do learn something new everyday.
This is simply incredible. I passed it over several times because I thought it was a drawing. People are always saying that some build or other doesn’t look like LEGO. Well, this one really doesn’t. This build is nothing short of outstanding. Mark Anderson built it. Obviously, he is awesome.
Katie Walker is the undisputed ruler of the cheese slope. Give her a random pile of them and the odd handful of 1×1 plates, tiles or bricks and awesome things start to happen. You have to check out her latest. I keep thinking that she is going to run out of new techniques or ideas but it ain’t happening.
Magnus the Great’s lineup of minifig colorsets probably won’t qualify as a “creation” to some people but it is quite mesmerizing. I find myself just staring at them.
As much as we have an artistic appreciation for many of the LEGO models we feature here, it’s also great to run across art inspired by LEGO. Artist Matthew Ulstad has created a series of prints titled “All is Right in the State of Denmark,” including a minifig study inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man,” complete with a background printed using actual LEGO baseplates.
For those of us interested in hanging some of these on our own walls, you can pick up prints on Matthew’s Etsy store.
Cole Blaq has some serious ooze going on in his latest creation. I have to say that it is rather mesmerizing. I really like the way the black is creeping across, down and around the white brick.
This mask, by Frederic, depicts his vision of what a fishman would look like. Personally, I hope I never meet one. That is the last thing I want to pull up on the end of my line. But the mask is pretty sweet. The curves and such give a very organic feel and the scales lend a three dimensional effect to it.
I’m not sure what prompted Alex Schranz (“Orion Pax”) to create a winged heart spilling blood over a pedestal, but I’m digging its novelty. Check out the overview of the entire creation on Flickr.
Katie Walker just keeps blowing my mind. Every time I start to think that I’ve seen it all, she posts something new to her photostream. She even says that this is just an experiment and she built it while surrounded by four children, all under the age of four. After hearing that, I would think she was actually a lego-building robot…except I’ve met her in person. If she was a robot, she hides it well.
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, right?
(Before anyone asks, all the pieces are connected…except for the eyebrows and nostril bits)
No, it’s not a new metal band, it’s the name of this clever use of LEGO by Rod Gillies (2 Much Caffeine). I assumed that it was a skeleton, but it’s apparently biomechanical. Regardless of whether it’s intended to be alieve or dead, or something in-between, I really enjoy the creation.
Rod has made great use of upside-down half arches along the spine, to give a great curved profile. Then there’s the use of large crenelated tower pieces as teeth, which is positively inspired.
