There’s been a ton of great creations posted in the past few days, and this one by Matija Grguric is certainly no exception. This castle has survived the times and is now transformed into a modern day historical attraction, complete with tourists of course! Check out the gallery with detail shots on Flickr.
There’s a certain grace in simplicity, and I do believe this build captured some of that essence. LegoLord posted this lovely little chapel, complete with columns, arches, and recessed windows. I like the little details that pop up to make the building visually interesting.
Ivan Angeli from Serbia presents a bloodcurdling red castle in an underground city from the Dungeons and Dragons universe. The extreme proportions of the architecture is fitting of the fantasy genre. Check out the gallery on Brickshelf for more photos including construction and detail shots.
Another late entry for Classic-Castle‘s contest: a simply beautiful rendition of “The Castle” of Boston University, built by Francesco Tavella. I really don’t have much more to add. The details on this building speak for themselves.
Time’s running out to enter the Colossal Contest over at Classic-Castle! There are some fabulous entries this year, and it’s been a blast to watch them come through. I do not envy the judges.
Zack Milenius’s entry is all about relativity. Or, more specifically, Relativity.
I like the castle-twist to a classic art piece. It’s just a fun build.
There was a time when circular towers were the latest innovation in castle building, now Tyler (Legohaulic) builds castle on a circular base. I only remember one other creation that features this technique, and that was built several years ago. Filling the circle is difficult with rectangular LEGO bricks, but Tyler finds an effective solution by laying differently shaped bricks to create a cobblestone mosaic.
I can’t believe it’s been almost a year and a half since we last saw a castle creation by Rocko, but things are different when you have your own business to run. Fortunately for us, Rocko’s had time to build a new castle recently. I love the contrast between the tan walls and the blue water. The greenery gives a breath of life to this otherwise fig-less display. Fortunately for us, Rocko has share two views of this great scene showing a beautiful curved staircase.
One of the Categories for the Colossal Castle Contest is Fairy Tales–and Scrat has chosen to illustrate the Danish tale The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. In the vein of many original fairy tales, this is a sad, sad story. Scrat’s rendition captures the melancholy atmosphere perfectly:
There are 23 days remaining until the close of this year’s Colossal Castle Contest over at Classic Castle! Let me tell you–I don’t envy the judges. There are some fantastic creations. Here are just a few:
The Pastoral Life Category – Walking The Goats (David Leest)
Fairy Tale Category – Humpty Dumpty (DarkTemplar)
Mythical Battle Category – Attack of the Skeleton Horde (ACPin)
Bart De Dobbelaer has started another series of storytelling vignettes, and this time the plot takes place in a fantasy era setting. I love the construction of each vignette on an irregularly shaped base. If you haven’t experienced Bart’s other two stories, you should check them out.
It’s been nearly two years since tiberium_blue has posted a LEGO creation that I’m aware of, but the wait has been worth it. There’s so much to love in the details throughout the scene, from the stone wall to the walls and roof on the treehouse itself.
I want to go to there…
Thanks to Paul Lee for the tip!
Mark Kelso is also a painter, who was recently commissioned to produce a still life for a gallery. Naturally, he turned to his other hobby for inspiration, yes, Lego that is.
For once, we can definitively place this post in the art category :)
