Xynthymr Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) As a purely conceptual exercise, I decided to create a large, flat, mosaic-style representation of several classic LEGO minifig characters. One of the most iconic characters from LEGO history is Captain Redbeard, the infamous antagonist from the classic Pirates range from 1989 The build is mainly 3 plates deep. The bottom tier is made up of entirely black plates to provide a base level to build on and to retain structural rigidity. The middle tier consists of predominantly yellow plates, with some black plates to outline the shape of the minifig head. The top tier consists of mostly flat orange elements to represent Captain Redbeard's eponymous ginger facial hair, as well as some black features for eye, mouth, and an eye-patch! The whole mosaic measures 38x38 studs, and would make an excellent wall decoration, framed or otherwise Edited August 5, 2015 by Xynthymr Quote
Staslegomaster Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 That's an epic creation made of tiny pieces. But he needs his hat very much to be more recognizable. By the way, I used the same technique to create Santa's face in LEGO Gallery. Hope, you like it - please tell me. And keep on creating! Quote
