Hello everyone!
This is my entry for the Lego Batman Contest, Category 1.

And I hope you like it!

CAT 1: The heart of Arkham

I have done a MOC that is inspired by Rocksteady's game-Batman: Arkham City.

Few words about storyline of game:

The main storyline revolves around Batman's imprisonment in Arkham City, a sprawling new super-prison five times bigger than the original asylum and enclosing a wide variety of industrial districts, iconic locations and Gotham City landmarks.

Why-"The heart of Arkham"?

Arkham-it is a city of blood first of all(heart=blood), and in his walls are maden a many crimes and a lot of violence.

About creation.

The scene of action I have chosen telegraph, which is in the east of Arkham, in industrial district. It became into a resident of maniacs, murderers and thieves from all Gotham! Where you the Batman?=)

I tried to take as much inspiration as possible from the game when I created the Arkham's telegraph. The main building has 3 floors and interior in rooms.You can see their at the fotos below.

The entry has been created on the diagonal.  

More pictures on Flickr!

Have fun=)

Hope you'll enjoy!=)

Very nice I like the rubbish on the floor and the good use of some of the other themes legs and torsos that make a great looking thug.

It's so amazing what people come up with in this contest! Very nice work, I think my favourite piece is actually the surveillance camera. Great use of parts there! What's the lens made of? Looks like an antenna to me, but it can't be.

[AlexScammer]

The representation is awesome.
Custom Joker looks very cool.
I am telling you, one of the best MOCs I've ever seen.


PS Where's Batman?

Hello!

You've made a cool creation here, Fianat. I'm sure you're aware that this is very similar to my build Viktor's Office. I'm flattered that you wanted to build a creation like mine, and you've made some neat alterations. I especially like that you've taken the time to add an interior - something I didn't do. You're photography is also very nice, I wish I could have achieved such clear photos.

Most people borrow from other creations or use them for inspiration, but when so many things are taken directly from one work, it's courteous to give the original builder some credit. I feel like that is important in this case considering you've entered it into a contest and the voters might not realize these ideas are not original.



Keep on building!

Fianat, I had noticed what Sir Dillon had commented above. Perhaps it will be better if you are able to shed some light into this entry. Both ideas had quite a fair share of similarities, so I am thinking if there was some borrowing of inspiration with regards to this entry?

I liked to see you here,Sir Dillon)
Yes,I have taken some elements,but it doesn't mean its ripped off.
People, I was inspired by Pendragon's creation.It is okay?
I saw this creation many mounths ago and it was very memorable.
Thanks!

I'm glad you were inspired by my work, and I realize you are not only copying me - a lot of work has been done to make this your own. However, it is still clearly based on my creation, with many details taken directly from my work. I don't think you could have done that without directly looking at my creation while building your own, they are too alike to be just something you remembered. Considering you took the time to reference other inspirations but not mine, it feels like you are trying to win a contest while making others believe that my ideas are your own.
