I bet you never would have thought you were going to say that sentence, ever.

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Heh, thank ya!

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Definitely a pun. :D

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Yes, it is definitely a pun. I am working on a name for the build, and Santa Slay seems fitting, so far.

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 1 points 21 hours ago

I appreciate it.

I definitely felt that this display was lacking, so I decided to create a landscape for the build. I threw it together in 4 hours, so apologies about the crudity of the layout. I also wanted to give the build a sense of flight, so I elevated it with some trans-clear pieces. This build will be on display at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for two weeks.

I already have plans on what I need to do for cleaning up the layout, but I ran out of time last night.

Heh, it happens. Unfortunately LEGO is my way to escape reality and is my vice. I've been in the PC field for 26 years now and I'm burned out, so I turned back to LEGO after my dark ages, 2005-2014. After the past few years I have delve quite far into LEGO and what is possible.

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 3 points 1 day ago

Hell yeah it is! Did ya peep the video for it?

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

Nah, but I can definitely see how certain parts could resemble that. :P

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

I always try my best and I greatly appreciate it! I have plans tonight to remove the green baseplates and try white, for better contrast.

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 3 points 1 day ago

Heh, I suppose you could say that. :P What do you think of the build?

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

I can kind of see that. These here are what people were calling the aliens from that movie.

Santa Slay (media.piefed.world)

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.

What person wouldn’t want this festive decoration?

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.

I didn't have a chance to take proper pictures of the build due to finishing it right before Brickworld Chicago. Once the event completed I then started pulling it apart to make the Sky Squid. Some of the time with my builds, if I know I don't have the parts, I will sacrifice the current build to work on the new project. Some of my builds are saved from the chopping block, and others not so much.

The Sky Squid (media.piefed.world)
submitted 5 days ago by squ1ddos@piefed.world to c/lego@lemmy.world

This build was created out of the inspiration from meeting Michael Kanemoto at Brickworld Chicago this year and him letting me plunder his parts collection. He was glad to meet another bar and clip type builder. So the back story behind this build is that it ties into the apocalyptic scraps realm and Arachnis’ Swarm Node. Basically the humans have harnessed Arachnis’ technology and are going to use it for taking down the Swarm Nodes.

submitted 6 days ago by squ1ddos@piefed.world to c/lego@lemmy.world

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 (media.piefed.world)
submitted 1 week ago by squ1ddos@piefed.world to c/lego@lemmy.world

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.
