I Scream Clone Posted February 19, 2010 Hello Eurobrickers, thought I would share my mosaic of Heath Ledger's Joker from Dark Knight. and here is the inspiration pic. Cheers ISC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elander Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) WOW! Respect! That's not easy! And that is a funny idea. A LEGO mosaic. XD I've never seen before a LEGO mosaic. That's top! So again, You've got it! Edited February 19, 2010 by Elander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inconspicuous Posted February 19, 2010 Blew my socks off the moment I saw it! I've always wanted to do a Lego mosaic, but I never really had the time to dig up lots of 1x1s, or the money to buy some. Now you're really tempting me! Amazing work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etzel Posted February 19, 2010 That's a great mosaic, ISC! As all mosaics it looks best from distance so I stood as far away from the computer as I could in my tiny apartment (maybe 4 meters ). Great work with the colours and I like the mix of transparent and regular bricks in the text Did you use some kind of software to make this or was it a free-hand work? Anyway it's very nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted February 19, 2010 Holy cow, that's an amazing result. As Etzel said, it looks frightening real when you put some distance between yourself and your screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricecracker Posted February 19, 2010 That's amazing, ISC! I saw it on flickr, and from the thumbnail I thought it was a real pic. ...but I never really had the time to dig up lots of 1x1s, or the money to buy some. Now you're really tempting me! There's no need to only use 1x1s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted February 19, 2010 Wow! Amazing work! Is there any LEGO art form you can't master? I'm not sure about the tan/ dark tan for the peeling makeup, the contrast seems a little high. But the mix of colours is superb and the font work with the softening touches using trans plates is very clever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted February 19, 2010 'I Scream Clone' I scream AWESOME ! The best Lego Mosaic I have seen in I don't know how long ! You have caught the scene in an instant - excellent work and I'm a conformist! !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorro Posted February 19, 2010 I love it, I love it, I love it! Great work, I Scream Clone . 'Why so serious', combined with that image, has become a real cult-classic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted February 19, 2010 Wonderful ISC, certainly one of the best mosaics I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Phipson Posted February 19, 2010 I commented on this over on MOCpages but it truly deserves a second here! You sir are a master of the brick! (hey, I said Brick with a B people... get your mind outta there.) Beautiful work sir. ~Chris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Scream Clone Posted February 19, 2010 Wow, thank you all for the nice comments. Blew my socks off the moment I saw it! I've always wanted to do a Lego mosaic, but I never really had the time to dig up lots of 1x1s, or the money to buy some. Now you're really tempting me!Amazing work! I used lots of 1x2 1x3 2x2 as well, but yes you do need a lot of 1x1s, i almost ran out of white ones. That's a great mosaic, ISC! As all mosaics it looks best from distance so I stood as far away from the computer as I could in my tiny apartment (maybe 4 meters ). Great work with the colours and I like the mix of transparent and regular bricks in the text Did you use some kind of software to make this or was it a free-hand work? Anyway it's very nice Thanks Etzel, I cropped the picture down to even dimensions then shrank to 48x48 pixels, zoomed up the image and mapped out every single ^%$@$ pixel onto 12x12 grids at a time, needless to say it is quite time consuming but the end result is worth it Wow! Amazing work! Is there any LEGO art form you can't master? I'm not sure about the tan/ dark tan for the peeling makeup, the contrast seems a little high. But the mix of colours is superb and the font work with the softening touches using trans plates is very clever. and thanks for the Frontpaging buddy.

Brickthing Posted February 20, 2010 From the front-page this looks really real! Splendid work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted February 20, 2010 Excellent! I kept on scrolling back up and down to compare each little square inch of the mosaic to the original screen. Nicely done, very accurate as far as I can tell. I especially like the lips, good use of mixing reds with brown for a realistic result. A little piece of constructive feedback, though. I'm not sure I like that spot where the makeup has worn off- it kind of took my attention away from the rest of the mosaic. I would've just left the brown out of there, but that's just me. I agree with the others who said that it looks extremely realistic when I take a step back from my screen. I've always wondered how this was done. Did you put the image underneath a grid the size of the plate, then built by color? I think I might steal this as a background... if that's alright with you.

WhiteFang Posted February 20, 2010 ISC, you have definitely outdone yourself this time! It's really amazing to see you climbing up to another brand new MOC level of building. Simply outstanding! By the way, did you use any software to aid in your mosaic design, so you can render or apply the exact amount of bricks in each level. Mosaic building involves alot of precision building, and what you have done up there, is a great example of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From there I painstakingly mapped out each 12x12 quadrant based on the colour palette I had available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
