Thank you very much! I think I have spammed enough builds over the years to coin, "that's a squ1ddos build."
You're quite welcome! You're not wrong about how I just "snap" parts in place. Most of the time when I get a vision in my mind I try my best to translate it in LEGO. I can visualize myself seeing the build in factual reality and that brings life to the concept. Basically I enjoy having a plethora of parts to rifle through and see what I can conjure up. Sometimes I get ideas that I think would be stellar that I tear up because I'm amazed that I was able to pontificate such a grand idea. I enjoy showing off what is possible if you don't "color in the lines." I am not quite sure what triggered my abstract build style, but it can be quite exhausting and rewarding at the same time. I just enjoy adding detail as much as possible and I don't let "what's practical" hold me back. I look back on prior builds and I think when I finally started the first iteration of the apocalyptic scraps in 2019, I pretty much dove off of the deep end. 2005-2014 were my dark ages, but it was Lego Digital Designer that reintroduced me to LEGO. I spent days in LDD, during college and Minecraft's inception. Then Stud.Io came out and there was much more I could do, and it took a bit to master, but it's second nature now. At the end of the day, I use LEGO to zone out and create "art" with lore. I always use to write poems, draw, and create short stories, so I guess my past is finally reaching up to me? I think what also blows people away is that I stream my builds on Twitch and that my builds are modular. There's always the downside of being creative... it's building a concept when you're suppose to be sleeping or working.
Essentially both answers are correct. I have a vision and try to manifest it in reality. Sometimes it doesn't go according to plan and I have to improvise. I feel that I can create things better, without fail when I have the parts available.
I greatly appreciate it! I can create normal things as well. :P
Heh, you would buy a book of the creatures from the nightmare realm? Here's a video from last year of the nightmare realm. Hence the dated look of the builds.
Honestly, both. Some of the sections are held together with chains, while some others "snap" in with the bar/clip method. It is all about weight distribution.
I greatly appreciate that and yeah a few people have said the same thing. It's one thing to see a picture, it's another when you can see it in person and look at all of the details. I could show you some of my other refined builds, if you'd like?
I greatly appreciate it! This actually was nominated at Brickworld Chicago for best 3D art sculpture.
That's Arachnis. You'll see better images via that Imgur link I posted. ;)
I just found out about this place from a LEGO club member. This is all new to me and I wanted to share some of my recent works on here. I will check that site out, and I greatly appreciate it!
Heh, thank ya. Here's a quick video for you. https://imgur.com/gallery/veinhart-soul-engine-swarm-core-IFpYc8s
