@neil-gaiman, I rejoined tumblr so you'd hopefully see this!
A Lego Art recreation of Dave McKean's cover to Sandman #1 (22 1/2 × 36 inches).
5,376 round 1x1s make up the portrait of Morpheus. I shifted the color tone to browns because it offered the most useable Lego pieces (and also because, you know, sand).
I used two flashes for this. One lighting the front of the mini figure, and one behind, giving the blue light from the forge which has nicely spilled out onto the floor this side of the forge door.
I had already used the same location near my home to show a canoe falling into the waterfall. But I wanted to take the storytelling a step further and feature a team of unhappy pirates who had made the wrong choices and were about to lose their entire fortune!
I'd like to take this opportunity to share some behind-the-scenes footage with you ;)
I took this picture last year for the @brickcentral contest bc_inframe.
For this I’ve build this little alley. But maybe different than expected isn’t this alley one big part. This are multiple smaller parts, this allows me to move things around until my final scene was in camera.
