Literary LEGO will attract my attention every time, but check out the footprints in this vignette by Sir Nadroj (Flickr):
Now, if only I liked Longfellow’s poem as much as I like Sir Nadroj’s LEGO version of “A Psalm of Life.” Oh well, I blame Modernism.
While we’re at it, Sir Nadroj’s “whistle-punk” lumber mill also deserves a highlight:
Harrison (aka “Corran101”) submits four epic entries to the CC vig contest — vignettes inspired by Homer’s Odyssey.
Our hero Odysseus has many adventures. In no particular order (go read the book!), he battles the sea monsters Scylla and Charybdis, rides a sheep out of a cave, does a bit of feasting with Circe, and fires an arrow through some axe handles.
Check out more pics in Harrison’s photoset on Flickr.
The Classic-Castle.com Vignette Storytelling Contest kicked off at the beginning of this month, and sets of four vigs are popping up all over the place.
Aaron Andrews‘ vigs are inspired by one of my favorite moments in the Monty Python canon — “Bring out your dead!”
(“I’m not dead!”)
After learning about a Halo vignette contest at Brickarms forums with less than a week before deadline, I impulsively decided to enter. I needed an idea, and what’s more dramatic than the final warthog run from the last mission of Halo 3? For those who haven’t experienced it, you are driving a warthog through an expansive and volatile surface trying to escape a giant explosion. Classic? You bet.
The warthog design is largely based off Legohaulic’s, with minor modifications.
Four names in the post title. I think that’s a first.
This may be more “meta” than I can handle, but Keith Goldman has joined Mike Yoder’s Fanboy Cover Contest with a micro’d version of Dan Hamann’s “Container Shuttle Craft”, and then Keith put a vignette of Ley Ward building a nano version of the C.S.C. inside the micro version’s container.
My head hurts. (Via MicroBricks.)
I present you another black fantasy creature, this time in a post-apoc setting. There’s gold on the ground, but gold is worthless when there’s no one to spend it.
Interested in building something similar? I’ve just announced a black fantasy contest over at Classic Space, but you don’t have to be a member of the forum to participate. There will be prizes!
Inspired by Keith Goldman, Jon Palmer (Flickr) is starting a series of vignettes starring another real-life LEGO fan, Aaron Sneary.
In Jon’s first vig, Aaron chooses the items he will take on his journey.
Shannon Young depicts a scene preserving the last tree on Earth, attended to by a faithful and solitary robot caretaker. What could you make of the meaning of this? Neither the creator nor I seem to have a clear idea.
Deviating from his usually large dioramas, Keith Goldman crafts small scenes featuring Ley Ward (aka Professor Whateverly). They’ve got that hippy vibe, you dig?
Corran101 recently won the Bladerunner vignette contest on the BrickArms forums, and his prize was a set of prototypes of new designs. The two designs are for the Auto-9 Pistol (the longer one) and PKD2019.
Click the picture above for the full photoset on Flickr, but here’s Corran101’s excellent winning entry:
The next game I plan on playing on my new Wii is Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I don’t want to spoil anything for myself by looking too much up about this vignette by Dan Sibley, so I’ll trust the comments on Flickr that this is true to the game.
What say you, readers?
