M. C. Escher

Recommended Posts

M.C. Escher is a Dutch graphic artist famous for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs and mezzotints which feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, and tessellations.

This pioneer's work is still prominent in optical illutions and such today, so prominent that it has made its way into the Lego form along with many others.

I always found the stairs (2nd one) very intriguing.

First time I see it in lego form.

Really a great job! And a brilliant idea too. You captured the original setup extremely well. So I like it!!

May you please describe your workflow in a few words? I assume that this is a complete and genuine render without any "photoshoping". Right?

Thank you papacharly :)

This is the workflow:

1) I built the model with Mecabricks,

2) I rendered the sphere in Blender, with a super-fish eye lens,

3) I rendered the hand (because minifig's arm it's so short! ahah),

4) in Photoshop I merge the images, than I turned the result in BW and I add some grain.

Thank you too Borex and Pate-keetongu!

Yes, I think I'll re-make some other Escher's models!

:classic:

The work of Escher always captivated me, and seeing his work in Lego from is great. Thanks for sharing this work.

Zanna, I'm really impressed with your render, you really captured the atmosphere of the real work. And I really like the way you included the Lego Mona Lisa and the yellow man in the paintings on the wall.
