Mousedroids Back In Stock
/Mousedroids are back in stock in the BrickNerd Do-It-Yourself Fan Art store. There's only a few so act fast.
The Grinch
/Chris McVeigh has a new Bricksketch, and it's here to ruin your Christmas. Has there ever been a better villain for the holidays? Sure in the end he turned out to be a softy, but for a while there Santa, cheer and joy didn't stand a chance.
The Proposal
/Ah, how romantic. Unfortunately this man's proposal didn't go as planned, and he still has no idea why. So here's some advice guys, take a peek behind you before you drop to one knee.
A Life-Size LEGO Car...That Runs On Air!
/Holy Shmoly! This is pretty amazing. The Super Awesome Micro Project is the brainchild of Steve Sammartino and and Raul Oaida. Steve is a marketing guru and Raul is, well, a genius. This crowd-sourced project has over a half million bricks, four orbital engines, 256 pistons and a top speed of about 15MPH. But enough blabber, watch the video!
Thanks for the head's up Brad
Yoshi!
/It's no secret I'm a Nintendo fan, and who can resist Yoshi? This sculpture by Joshua Christenson is impressive from both the standpoint of technique and scale. It's not easy to nail a character this well using mostly brick at this scale, but look at it, it's perfect! Oh, and did I mention it's Yoshi?!?
'Twas The Brick Before Christmas
/Oh, the Holiday season. Gathering with friends and family, sharing some cheer, giving some gifts... and building some MOCS? At least that’s what Seth Christe is up to this Holiday. Seth is in the midst of an excellent retelling of the Night Before Christmas poem via LEGO brick and some clever photo editing. I highly recommend clicking through the entire series and checking his flickr feed each day until the story is complete.
R3spawn-12
/A Plastic Infinity takes a stab at what he calls techno-abstract and the results are compelling and fascinating. The use of all the trans clear with just enough mechanics underneath creates a very cool effect. This is only the beginning too, I can't wait to see where this goes.
Porkins and B3-3R
/
This image is of significant importance to me. Not only is it brilliant, and Star Wars related, and funny, but it was also one of the first inspiring images I found as my eyes were opening to the AFOL scene (you mean there are others like me?) This is Jek Porkins and B3-3R by the late, great Mike Crowley, AKA Count Blockula. The community lost Mike at the beginning of this year. He was an amazing artist and person. He is missed.
Joe Dalton
/This is Joe Dalton, dastardly counterpart to Lucky Luke by Pistash. After all, what use is a good guy if you don't have a bad guy to fight him? It's like limiting your collection to all rebel Star Wars figures, you quickly realize there's not much to do.. This is an especially impressive build considering it's the first character Pistash has ever done.
Dancing Bear, Hidden Dragon
/Initially I was drawn to this build because of the excellent tile work and motorized dancing bear. Upon further inspection I discovered that it actually tells a wonderful story, as well. On one side of the MOC you have what appears to be a very silly Lion king being entertained by the peril of others. While on the flip side we join the Dragon Knights in the midst of their plan to assassinate that same king. This is creation is a great example of quality that we have come to expect from zCerberus over the years and look forward to many more.
Feed Me!
/Another mind-blowing entry into the e11even contest. This one comes from customBRICKS and is none other than Audrey II, the man-eating plant from Little Shop of Horrors. One of the best uses of the Ninjago snake I've ever seen.
Awesome Is Squid The Dominant Girl
/Take heed upon the image of Squid Girl, for Hatsune shall face the floor in due time. It is skill and perseverance for Ochre Jelly, builder of bricks and quite white in the skin. The forces of photographic commodity are generous throughout & colors are rich in thought. Placement of protrusions to be not confused with nipples.
Cute And Packin'
/It's hard to decide if this little robot by rongYIREN is more cute or more intimidating. There's something about his stance and proportions that says "take me home and make me one of the family. But there's something about that huge gun and beady little eyes that says "I know where you live, and I'm going to kill your family".
Who Could Call Him Names?
/This is adorable. Can you believe that bastard Comet called him names? Or how about Blitzen, shutting him out of the annual reindeer games? Or Cupid, laughing in his face? Well who's laughing now huh? Rudolph is on BrickNerd! Suck it Dancer!
e11even
/Lifelites (brickmodder) kicked off a contest a few days back and the response so far has been great. The challenge is to see what you can build with just 11 pieces. I particularly like these entries from Kosmas Santosa. Simplicity at it's finest.
BrickNerd is a sponsor and will be contributing a prize (TBD)
Lucky Luke
/Meet Lucky Luke, a Belgian comic hero said to be "faster than his shadow". Not being up on my Belgian comics I've never heard of this character. But I don't need that knowledge to appreciate what a splendid build this is. Nice work 6kyubi6.
Pug-riffic
/There's just something so inviting about pugs. And as if they aren't cute enough on their own check out this one sporting little shoes and a bow tie. Combine that with the fact that it's made out of LEGO and it's a trifecta of squee.
Here We Go!
/I shudder to think how many hours I dedicated to N64. Between Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Rogue Squadron I chewed up a fair chunk of my life, but I don't regret it. This tribute to the first level of SM64 by Pepa Quin just makes me smile.
Cozy Coupe
/Some follow the crowd. Others change lanes and leave it behind. The Cozy Coupe is the ideal juxtaposition of human-centered design and distinct styling. it's more than an introduction. It's a provocation. OK, I stole all that from the Lexus website, see how silly you sound Lexus? Nice build Legohaulic.
