This work was done a year ago. I was impressed by the work of the japanese artist Kumi Yamashita and decided to try to build something like that in LEGO.

WOW!

That is fantastic. I can imagine it took quite some time and a lot of patience to get it right.

This is amazing! *oh2*

I can't even imagine how much work was put into selecting and positioning the pieces like that and then get the right lighting. It's fantastic!

Wow, that is impressive. At first I really thought the illusion was photoshopped in, but you can see how the individual bricks make the face. Very artistic. :thumbup:

Actually I have set the light first and then was trying to put bricks on right place carefully. :classic:

Unbelievable! This reminds me of a picture I saw of crinkled pieces of paper that cast a face shadow. This is just so cool!

Super super cool! I'm a little confused by the "hair", it seems long and straight, but the rest of it is so impressive, and so inventive! :thumbup:

Awesome!

At first I was focusing on the bricks so I did not notice the shadow! :tongue:

very creative ;)
What kind of light did you use? I've just tried with the common lightbulb, and the results were... not so fantastic :)

You should use narrow beam light in order to obtain robust edge of the shadow. I have used old projector for slides in my experiences. :blush:

That is nothing short of pure awesomeness. :wub:

Was there a particular reference face you could copy, or is this all done by experimenting with shapes to see what made the best looking face?

Ah! I was waiting for this question! :laugh:

This is a silhouette of a real person. It is possible to build any type of shadow but I decided to build feminine mild-shaped side-view with simple bricks only without curved parts and slopes.

Whoa!

Super, just super!

I need to remember this and give it a try, will work great hung on a wall with the light on (yeah, the bricks need to be glued but so what)!
