In a conversation with Justin Vaughn (Mainman), I jokingly challenged him to make a creature in the theme of Brown Fantasy, a spin-off of Black Fantasy. Should I be surprised? Yes, I have every reason to be.

Classic Creations: Henry Lim’s Stegosaurus
I’ve been looking at some of the older creations that inspired me when I first discovered the online Lego community and I realized that many people may not have seen these. We never featured them here on The Brothers Brick for the simple reason that the blog didn’t exist then. So, from time to time, I am going to highlight some the classic creations of years gone by.
First up is a Stegosaurus by Henry Lim. Selected to be a Lugnet Cool Site of the Week in November of 2000, this Stegosaurus still has the ability to amaze.
Ant
A very small insect, megasized by Jerac:
Take a closer look, if you’re not an insectophobe, and note the lovely antennae and the construction techniques Jerac used on the feet. Very nice.
Clancy goes Green
Even Trolls care…
Even Mecha howl at the Moon
Goats totally rock!
Now when was the last time we featured Fabuland here on The Brothers Brick? I can’t remember, but this is a pretty sweet goaty, cave thing by Sir Nadroj.
Ed “Big Daddy” Roth-style monster machine by Matt Armstrong
For another Your Claim to Fame entry, Matt Armstrong takes his inspiration from the sort of characters and monster machines created by the late Ed “Big Daddy” Roth:
The dragon’s tongue is a whimsical touch, and the “hair” streaming out behind the dragon’s head give the whole thing a nice sense of motion.
That still only counts as one.
Classic-Castler Jens (Schlimps on Brickshelf) joins the fray at the last minute with a Battles Contest entry inspired by The Lord of the Rings:
The posable, brick-built oliphaunt (so called by Hobbits; called mûmak by men) certainly dominates the scene, but there are many more details to pore over in this great creation.
The secret mating rituals of the Spanish Panacotos
In a scientific breakthrough sure to win him next year’s Crafoord Prize in Biosciences, Spanish LEGO hobbyist Jesús Delgado has discovered a new species of creature populating his desk.
See more videos of this fascinating creature on YouTube and more pictures on Brickshelf.

Not gollum, golem
Texture, action, creatures, thatch and falling minifigs. There’s really nothing to not like about Adrian Florea‘s (Olog) latest diorama. I think I’ll let it speak for itself.
Black Fantasy wrap up
The Black Fantasy contest has just ended, and there are has been a myriad of entries, including a score of stunningly horrific creatures. The following highlights some of the amazing entries submitted towards the end of the contest.
The Final Horror, by Dene Quest.
Kermit the Destroyer, by Megan Rothrock.
Howl of Lamentations Unending, by Justin Vaughn.
Cyclopean Spawn of Stars, by Mark Stafford.
The Demon of Madness, by Justin Stebbins.
Infinite Sadness, by Chris Edwards.
Ephram’s Garden
There’s more than just earthworms in Brian Kescenovitz‘s groundbreaking diorama called Ephram’s Garden. The invasion of biomechanical horrors has made it even to the hills beyond the cities. Brian excellently combines the theme of Black Fantasy and post-apoc in this inspiring build.
