Art’s not dead

Many of my own builds are inspired by pieces of concept art, and one of my favorite artists has been Alexander Iglesias. I’m not alone in this regard; his art has inspired many a mecha builder over the years.

Most recently is Rancorbait, tackling one of my personal favorites, “Rotary cannons for some“.

"Gremlin" Multi-purpose platform

Simmon Kim has likewise been cranking out a whole fleet of awesome mecha lately, among them this take on The Fiddler.

This flow of inspiration goes the other way, too; some artists have been inspired by the Lego community in their work.

Micro-scale Gingerbread House

Tis the season for family, friends, snow, gifts, and micro gingerbread houses. Rancorbait presents us this absolutely adorable bite-sized edition, and I personally think the stickers just make it better. It’s a great way to get the iconic royal icing on the roof edges with the candy shingles.

Angular momentum makes quick work of space battles

This crazy cool Vic Viper version by Rancorbait is chock full of sweet angles and great color blocking. The builder deftly applies some of the new angular slopes LEGO’s been producing in recent years, and the result is spectacular. I particularly love the clever use of this piece down the front of each side, which is so well integrated that I almost didn’t notice it. Overall, this ship looks like a combination of something from Tron: Legacy and LEGO’s own classic Blacktron theme.
