Tom Snellan is the first to enter the 6th annual Collossal Castle Contest with a creation that sets the bar high. Titled “The Perfect Life?”, this seemingly peaceful diorama depicts happiness with a twist, where hooded Death approaches ominously to claim an innocent’s life. What an eerie juxtaposition!
Okay, Brothers Brick readers, our GO MINIMAN GO Photo Contest ends in less than a week, on October 31!
Ricardo Silva (evildead from Klocki) has submitted “Go Miniman Panic Go!” — in which “science-fiction turns into reality”:
Things go downhill for the minifigs in Rupi‘s second entry:
Thanks for all the great entries so far, everyone!
Reminder: Don’t forget to let us know you’ve entered, and be sure to include what category your entry is for. ;-)
I present my latest surrealist sculpture, called the Legacy of Vision. It is an exploration of the theme of insanity and a sequel to my earlier work, the Cry of Dreams. Both sculptures are made in similar style, depicting equally macabre subjects. Likewise, I have a bit of writing accompanying this work, which will offer more insight to this creation for those interested. I’m planning on eventually making a third scultpure to complete the three-piece collection called the Metamorphosis of the Mind.
SlyOwl‘s entry for the Forbidden Cove Castaway Contest uses so many interesting techniques it’s hard to pick just a few to highlight:
The skeleton parts evoke a truly ragged sail. The narwhale in the water takes a moment to recognize, but once identified, SlyOwl’s brilliance is unquestionable. The reindeer head on a stick is, well, interesting.
Oh, and the goats are adorable.
Whew, back to normal blogging! We’ve missed highlighting a few non-BrickCon related creations over the weekend, but we’ll get to them.
Aaron Andrews (DARKspawn), who’s normally a castle builder, switches fancy and builds a big mech bay instead. It’s sufficient to say one might say that he’s been up to building mecha all his life, but that’s just because this Aussie builder is incredibly talented. Enjoy the creation before Aaron surprises us with something else!
One part Alice in Wonderland, one part Super Mario Bros., four parts awesome, Shannon Young places a little white kitten in certain peril.
The door behind the cloud is amazing, and the sun is brilliant.
Vidgamer838 has recreated the Rat’s Nest multiplayer map from Halo 3, complete with the trio of UNSC Marines voiced by Firefly and Serenity cast members — Alan Tudyk (Wash), Nathan Fillion (Mal Reynold), and Adam Baldwin (Jayne Cobb):
This is an entry for the August-September Contest in the LEGO Halo group on Flickr (click pic below to see entries):
Marcin (Hippotam) cooks up a fresh take on the pirate theme and presents outdoor BBQ with a flavor of, mmm… pirates. Don’t miss out on all the juicy details such as this hilarious shark killer contraption. For a small diorama, Volcanic Island sure packs some zing!
Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) knows where to put a pirate’s booty – inside a giant skull shaped mountain on a castaway island of course. Check out the interior that is chock full of more details to absorb and notice that the two halves of the mountains are put together via LEGO magnets as opposed to the usual hinges.
I’m loving sense of urgency in the this diorama by zgrredek. It has that wacky, silent movie feel. Almost the Keystone Cops turned fireman.
Those horses are swell, as well:
