DanSto Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) For the Fana'briques 2013 show, I have designed a 294 x 96 mosaic based on the Hobbit movie : It uses 3 colours (black, dark grey and light grey) on white 48x48 baseplates. The building has been done in one day helped by a couple of friends (Sandra and Sébastien B.), my son Alexandre and my wife Clara : SCASD. Enjoy. Edited July 4, 2013 by DanSto Quote
CMP Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 That's a really big mosaic. Loving the picture you chose. It looks so clean in black and white, but nonetheless brilliant. Great work. Quote
deskp Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 You are aware that picture is gandalf with alot of Gimlis and have nothing to do with the hobbit movies right? also There and back again is the 2014 movie. Quote
MikroMan Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 You are aware that picture is gandalf with alot of Gimlis and have nothing to do with the hobbit movies right? also There and back again is the 2014 movie. Well, the sub-title is actually the book's subtitle, which encompasses all three movies, so it's okay, I guess. And what do you mena by ''a lot of Gimlis''? I think it's pretty clear that the figures represent Gandlas + 13 dwarfs + a hobbit... On-topic, DanSto, awesome mosaic Quote

On-topic, DanSto, awesome mosaic The photo is using a lot of sllhouettes of gimli, its not official art for the movie, its a fan compilated picture to mimic what they did for LOTR. http://hopewriter.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/lord-of-the-rings-fellowship-of-the-ring-the-silhouettes.jpg Quote
Dutchy Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 When I saw those helmets I didn't really care about the lego. They look awesome! Great mosaic. Quote
DanSto Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 Well, my mosaic is directly inspired by this picture : I removed the backgound mountain and changed the position of the words. For me, "There and Back again" describes the whole story . Quote

IMO, the silhouettes were photographed/manipulated well enough that it's obvious these are different dwarfs... For me, "There and Back again" describes the whole story . This. Quote

soccerkid6 Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Great mosaic! The black/white/grey work really well Quote
TheLegoDr Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 That's really cool. I love seeing mosaics. I wish I had the time (and pieces) and talent to accomplish one. This looks almost identical to the source picture, so job well done there. Quote
Legogal Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Simply a masterpiece! An extraordinary scene that sends a clear message. Way to go! Quote
Trance89 Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Excellent work! I didn't know 48x48 white baseplates existed until now Quote
JohnGalt Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Wow. That's about all I can say. Love the realism! Quote
