Rocko borrows an ingenious idea from FBTB member 11numb to create a funny little vignette. The pouring water is also great, but the combination of these two interesting techniques blends into the background thanks to the hilarious subject matter.

Bloody shooting at the police station
Bigdaddy Nelson‘s recent vignette depicts a gangster’s raid on a police station. Scarface McDougal leaves a clean sweep across the front steps with his Tommy Gun. The gory effects are well portrayed.
Nuala, magess of Earth
I honestly can’t tell one humanoid Bionicle creation from another (sorry), but the life-like foliage in this vignette of “Nuala, magess of Earth” by Brickshelfer MuffinToa is pretty darn cool. The integration of SYSTEM pieces with Bionicle is what sets this apart — particularly in the green canopy of the tree.
Thanks for the tip, reader Joey!
In space, you can’t hear the mushrooms growing
Nelson Yrizarry is on a vignette-building roll. His latest depicts what happens to a interstellar mycologist runs afoul of some exo-fungi.
Could these nasty mushrooms be related to a certain spacey pest?
Human Transporter of the post-apocalyptic landscape
Treaded wheels, check. Cannon, check. Gun-toting human, check. Auto-balance gyroscope, check. From the twisted mind of Rocko emerges a Segway capable of tearing up the wasteland of the future.
While we’re at it, remember the nice lady in this scene? Here’s the bike she was originally going to be riding:
Oh yeah.
Crazy mafia murders

The Bionicles of Narnia by E.H. Arpy
Hurled headlong flaming from th’ ethereal sky...
Who can resist a vignette inspired by John Milton’s Paradise Lost? I can’t.
Here’s the full Milton quote that inspired this gorgeous vignette by Steve Vargo:
Him the Almighty Power
Hurled headlong flaming from th’ ethereal sky
With hideous ruin and combustion down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In adamantine chains and penal fire,
Who durst defy th’ Omnipotent to arms.
If Lucifer falling aflame from on high isn’t cool enough for ya, here’s another great scene from Steve, featuring my favorite mushroom, Amanita muscaria:
What happens to geeks like you after the LEGO apocalypse?
If you’ve ever wondered how you’d fare (yes you, reader, you’re staring at a computer screen right now, aren’t you?) after the LEGO apocalypse, Flickr user Terry’s Clockwork Orange has the answer.
The man with the keyboard chest plate is “Barry Norman, former I.T. technician and now the Mystical Keeper of the Data.” Ha! Click the picture to read more geeky post-apocalyptic profiles.
When penguins attack...
Marcin (aka Hippotam) makes hostile penguins; who knew these animals can be so violent? Next time when you visit the Arctic, be sure to pack up an anti-penguin assualt arsenal and don’t be unprepared like these poor fellows in the diorama.
