The Tengu Temple above the Clouds

Drawing on Japanese Mythology, pickybrickster shares a beautifully constructed Tengu temple high above the clouds with a gripping backstory. The various techniques used to build the rock foundation and the surrounding clouds work really well together, especially highlighting the smoothness of the clouds in contrast with the jagged rocks.

With a story as wonderful and intriguing as the build itself, he writes:

On the highest mountain peaks, far beyond human reach and well above the clouds, dwell the mighty tengu. A lone samurai ghost has come to this mythical place to seek his revenge, for he could not reach it while he was still alive. The tengu took his family, and now he hunts them down — this is a story destined to become a legend.

Journey through the Forgotten Temple

Inspired by their own traveling adventures, pickybrickster created this fictional forgotten temple that blends various architectural styles and inspirations to create something new in LEGO form. The outside of the temple is lush and overrun with vegetation, featuring incredibly realistically shaped trees that bend and bow with an explosion of leaves at the top.

The contrast between the overgrown wildlife on the outside and the crisp and patterned architecture of the temple itself is a beautiful touch. A journey further into the temple may seem like a foolish venture, but rumors abound that treasures untold lie within.
