lego nightmare

Some of my creations are on display at the Dearborn Heights library for a month. They seem pretty excited and amazed by my work. Let’s see what everyone thinks of it.

I decided to re-revamp the happy plants set. So we have Frick and Frack. More abominations added to the nightmare realm.

Enjoy :P

This build was inspired by the recent santa sleigh Christmas set that was on sale during Black Friday. I almost pulled the trigger on it, but after looking up what parts it came with I decided to use that money to create a Bricklink order consisting of dark brown elephant trunks, and appendages (my favorite part) I knew I wanted to create an Eldritch Horror-esque type build, and roughly 5 hours later this was the end result last Friday. It will be on display at our last LEGO Christmas show of the year.

This build originated from a surplus of appendages (favorite part), elephant tails, along with dinosaur tails. I have a feeling if I were to ever make “kits” to sell for someone to create a “squ1ddos” build, this pretty much encapsulates my concept of building. I then decided that the build needed to resemble more of a carousel, as opposed to a statue. So I created a platform and did what I do best, and created a rotating abomination. Unfortunately all of this has been sacrificed for Veinhart Soul Engine and Swarm Core. One day I will revisit the idea and add it to the nightmare realm.

This build has gone through a few iterations and was inspired by the lavender plant piece. I wanted to create a monster that uses the plant pieces and sculpt something from it. There’s a short story, but I only have it on the video I created for the nightmare realm. This is the 4th creature that make up the nightmare realm. Technically there’s a 5th, the nightmare carousel, but it was sacificed for the greater good. I’ll post that as well sometime.

The Conductor has awoken to feast every step taken brings the monster closer. The hands of the damned start to rise from the depths as distorted abominations appear The ground starts to tremor as the engipedes shoot out of their nest, towering over and closing in. The creature below has awakened and is ready to feast. The body is ingested and harvested for The Conductor’s fuel. Once consumed, the surface folds in on itself and prepares for the next meal. A defiled display is all that remains of a corpse as the bones are thrown into the air To satiate the realm that remains.

This was my first foray into using only two colors for a build. The monochromatic aesthetic works quite well with this build.

This build is the concept of a girl finding a scary book and as she falls asleep reading it, her mind starts manifesting this nightmare around here. More pictures and the story here, https://imgur.com/a/hjS9cvf
