Taking Digital Building to New Illustrative Heights

Most digital LEGO builders strive to create realistic images of their models, working to produce renders indistinguishable from photographs. However, Felix Dyson uses digital building programs to create airships and other illustrations for their various webcomics.

Harley

Quite possibly the most popular female comic villain (it really depends on who you ask, and comic book fans are a spirited and passionate group) and certainly the most popular female comic villain cosplay is Harley Quinn. One trip to San Diego Comic Con and you’ll see them everywhere (Nerdly even has a pic with one!) Builder Paddy Bricksplitter decided to take a stab at a smaller articulated version of her using parts and techniques recently in use. All I can say is NAILED IT!

Honk Honk. . .Mreow Mreow!

*Rubs hands together*  Let the cat puns begin. . .  With the recent release of the collectible Batman Movie figures, clawing their way up my list of my favorite comic minifigs, a little-known character was included in the bunch:  Catman.  This minifigure is not just another variant of a Batman suit - he's actually a individual character from the DC comics.  His character does have a history, but I don't think too many people are familiar with him.  Tim Lydy, the creator of this mobile, says it purrfectly:  "Catman should be taken seriously...that is unless you want to be all clawed up."  Jokes aside, check out this wonderful Catmobile to help Catman get away from dogs. . .

Nathaniel Stoner

     My name is Nathaniel Stoner, and I am an very active LEGO builder.  I mostly build in the themes of castle and science-fiction, but I also dabble in other genres and create occasional random MOC's (My Own Creations). 

     When I was younger, I would get and build small LEGO sets for my birthday, but I was never really into them.  When they fell apart, I would become frustrated attempting to put them back together and would throw them in a box in my closet.  I couldn't stand them!

     Then, miraculously, I became addicted to the LEGO brick later in my teen years.  Ever since, I have continued to build up (pun intended) my collection of bricks and to expand my knowledge of techniques and building skills.  LEGO is truly more than a toy, its an art form and a way to express yourself.

     For the most part, I collect LEGO Star Wars (mainly the minifigs), which is probably my favorite LEGO theme.  I have a fairly decent collection, including some of the original 1999 sets, such as the Snowspeeder, X-Wing, and Naboo starfighter.  I also collected LEGO the Lord of the Rings when those sets first came out.  The minifigs are great, and the story remains one of my favorites ever. 

     My hope is to inspire other young (and perhaps even older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity!  You can find me on my Flikr here. 

Well, I've Seen Stranger. . .

Your friendly neighborhood LEGO builder Vitreolum, a reputable character builder, recently created something rather strange. . .Steven Strange.  "It's Doctor, actually."  Right, sorry -- Doctor Steven Strange.  Please don't zap me to another dimension.  The latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Doctor Strange film was a very intriguing film that added some of the craziness the movies needed.  This model here depicts the iconic character's classic look in contrast to Benedict Cumberbatch's updated movie version.  The builder utilizes an interesting detailed piece to act as the Eye of Agamotto, Mr. Strange's (I meant doctor) iconic necklace that may or may not contain an Infinity Stone.  Does this inspire you to try building him yourself?  Stranger Things have happened!
