Built for Brickscalibur (Labor of Love category) as part of a collab with @Sympatik Brick One beautiful summer morning on the coast, a man named Nemyk (wanting to beat the “morning rush”) went down to his favorite fishing spot. What he found instead was a basking mermaid named Lorena, who wanted to take advantage of the first rays of the sun while out of the sight of “land dwellers”. Both caught off guard, the two engaged in some awkward small talk before parting ways. As fate would have it, the two would encounter each other again the following morning, and the morning after that, and so on. Gradually warming to each other, the two poured out their hearts, and (after a few months) were deeply in love. On the anniversary of their meeting, both decided to surprise each other with a gift. Nemyk sought a rare flower that was only found deep within the inhospitable Rakath mountains, while Lorena sought a crystal in the cold abyss of the ocean. Neither were prepared for the dangers that awaited them… Here's @Sympatik Brick's half of the collab! About the Giant Valyrian Anglerfish: Additional Images: Brickscalibur has just reached its epic conclusion, and it's time for me to start posting my entries. This was my first-ever collaboration, and it was an absolute blast! Best of luck to all of you who submitted entries!

Other Work: CDC2 CMF: socalbricks [Freebuild] Cobold's Crusaders (REVAMP) I'm back! After last year's fun CDC2 CMF, I was inspired to make more characters for the guilds. Enjoy! Geovana Guild: Mitgardia A sorceress who was adopted at a young age by amethyst-worshipping monks. Taught to harness the stones' power, she is now the last of her order. Despite this, she has vowed to defend the amethysts from pesky dwarven miners until her last breath. Boab Guild: Kaliphlin A blind naga assassin who can “see” through heightened senses of hearing and smell. His strongest ability is his sense of touch, using his hands, tail, and the hollow end of his spear to track nearby movements. A being of few words, he is steadfastly loyal to the Desert King (his mentor and first employer). Maridia Guild: Valyrio A mermaid who has made a small fortune selling the treasure she found at the bottom of Valyrio's harbors. Having learned water sorcery from her fellow merfolk, Maridia travels all throughout Valyrio's coastal cities, resting on a floating pool of water. She is currently making a sizable amount of money salvaging sunken treasure from Valyrian harbors and selling it in Canal Square. She has heard many tales of far-off lands from her customers; she plans on seeing all of them once she has enough money! Sko-Khan Guild: Nocturnus A soldier who was stranded in a massive pit during the war against Raavage, Sko-Khan spent weeks fighting off (and eating) giant scorpions (it was during this time that he ripped off a scorpion's claw and uses it as a weapon). After climbing out of the ravine himself, he became a muscle-for-hire for various Nocturnan warlords. He still carries the claw to this day, and has adorned his armor with matching scorpion imagery as a sign of respect for his old foes. Dombard the Doom-Bard Guild: Nocturnus Most bards lift the spirits with stories of bravery and heroism. Not Dombard - for reasons still unknown, he aspires to make his listeners as angry and miserable as possible. His lute (forged from and doubling as an axe) is unpleasant to the ears, and his voice is described as sounding like “nails on a chalkboard” and “a vulture being strangled” It is said that the latter is so grating that it can send members of races with “sensitive hearing” (such as elves and centaurs) into catatonic shock. Garrus Guild: Nocturnus Garrus saw his home of Abyssian turn to ice at the hands of Raavage’s forces. Though he survived the attack, his forearms did not, and he had them replaced with primitive prosthetics. Filled with rage, he decided to track down those responsible for the attack, adding massive swords to his prosthetics. Leaving a trail of bodies, he soon heard word that Raavage had already been killed (thus depriving him of his revenge). With no home, family, or outlet for his rage, the hulking reptilian became a brutal bounty hunter. Though he has mellowed with time, his infamous reputation remains unchanged (as does his enthusiasm for violence).

My entry for the Summer Joust 2022 "12 x 12 Vignette" category! In the coastal waters of northwest Avalonia lie dense forests of giant kelp. Fueled by long daylight hours and cold, nutrient-rich waters cycling in from the north, they provide a bountiful ecosystem supporting all forms of life, from giant stingrays to diminutive hermit crabs. The forests are also home to large populations of merfolk, who harvest the kelp for food, garments, medicine, and much more. Merfolk communities will often have designated “kelp harvesters” (a prestigious position due to its importance), who go through the forests with ivory sickles. Other merfolk forage for clams. One such mermaid is Katalina, who has spotted a large one under a rocky outcrop. Excitedly reaching under, she fails to spot a lobster next to the clam – the crustacean will make sure that she pays for her carelessness! From left to right: Petra A kelp harvester with a love for the dark red algae that grows on the kelp forest's rocky terrain. It can be found in her wardrobe (such as her skirt and cuffs) and even in her hair! Some merfolk chafe at the “monotony” of harvesting kelp all day, but Petra actually enjoys it, as it gives her time to think and “unwind”. Plus, the prestige for holding such a valued position doesn't hurt! Katalina Young and headstrong, Katalina's recklessness has often gotten her into trouble with the village elders. They figured that assigning her to clam harvesting duties would teach her patience and keep her out of trouble – they were wrong! More Images: I finally found the time to post this to Eurobricks! I had a bad case of COVID during the end of the Summer Joust - thankfully, I had already completed the MOC, so I only had to photograph it! I've made a full, so I figured I would belt out a backstory for it! Background This MOC was inspired by the kelp forests that line the west coast of North America - particularly those off the coast of Southern California. I snorkeled amongst these kelp forests while on a school trip to Catalina Island (also the inspiration for the "Katalina" name). Most of the creatures in this MOC are inspired by the local wildlife, such as garibaldi (represented by the orange fish), hermit crabs, the giant pacific octopus, lobsters, various anemones/starfish, and stingrays. Katalina's accident with the lobster was actually inspired by an incident involving one of our snorkeling guides. We were night snorkeling, and our guide (seeing a lobster in a burrow) wanted to dive down, grab it, and bring it up to show it to us. As he was about to reach into the burrow, he noticed (at the last possible second) a scorpion fish next to the lobster! He quickly drew his hand away; had he not noticed it, he would have likely been "stung"! I was inspired to create the "ocean surface" when I saw Grant Davis's "Seaside" at Bricks Cascade 2022! This is the largest MOC I have ever posted online. I've mostly stuck to "figbarfs" in the past, but I'm trying to broaden my horizons. Creating it was a lot of fun, and it has inspired me to add even more to it. I have already created several more merfolk, and want to develop a village scene of some kind! This challenge was incredibly fun, with some great entries from everyone. As we continue into the "judging period", I wish everyone the best of luck!

Denizens of the deep - post your ocean minifigures
AmperZand posted a topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
I have quite a few denizens of the deep - both good and evil - in my display collection, but only currently have a picture of the latest ones using parts from the Disney, Ninjago Movie and TLBM S2 CMFs. I imagine the skeleton-ghost as a soldier who died at sea in tragic circumstances. In due course, I hope to photograph all my deep sea dwellers. Feel free to post your purist and non-purist underwater MOCed minifigures in this thread . -
Just a nice web find I wanted to share.

"...On the 15th night of the journey, the priest of Zeus, Father Tholeau, snuck inside the captain’s boat and lowered her to the sea. Once detached from the fleet he set sail in the small skiff... Here we follow Father Tholeau, sneaking out off the cabin's window and into the small boat. It was night time as you can see on a picture. Or was it noon after lunch as seen in another picture? Which version do you prefer? Whatever the case, Eslandolan marines shouldn't mingle with the crew, because alcohol distracts you. After quite some days and nights, Father Tholeau reputedly reached a small rock protruding from the vast sea. On it, a gorgeous mermaid was standing, staring at the sea. "Hello Mylaidy", said Father Tholeau "Hello to you too dear mariner. I am Iris, the fairer of all mermaids in this vast sea", replied the gorgeous mermaid. - "And I am Father Tholeau. Nice to meet you. It seems i am lost on my way home, after discovering the Fountain of Youth. Can you show me the way to LeBellan?" - "Of course my dear. You must travel northeast and you shall reach it in seven days and seven nights. But beware, for i am not alone in this vast sea. I have many sisters, all of them wicked to the bone. They feed off stray mariners like yourself. Dont let their beauty fool you. You will be devoured at an instance." - "Thank you again Mylaidy. I wont fall for them for i am a man of Faith and am devoid of human lust. I am off. Have a great day!" ... But lust gets the better of men as Father Tholeau couldn't resist the mermaids' temptation. Not even the water he drank from the Fountain of Youth couldn't prevent him from being dragged into the abyss of the sea by the mermaids and so he was drowned, ending his life but not his legacy which continued to live on through his diary... Thank you for watching. C&C welcome!

[pid][/pid] 160A Ahoy! I'd like to present to you my new frigate which has been inspired by the work of our friend Sebeus I. The ship is called "The Blue Mermaid" Here's the little story to go along: Captain Jones was getting uneasy. For three hours he had been standing still to get his watercolour picture finished. Most of his crew had disappeared to sleep under deck. The few guys remaining and waiting for the painter to finish were the navigator, the first lieutenant and two strange guys. One was obviously gone crazy as he kept feeding his strange "Norwegian Blue" parrot. The other one was even stranger. He had boarded the ship with the aim to find the "Temple of the Monkey God" (wherever that would be). Surrounded by these guys, captain Jones felt a bit uneasy... but at least the painter was almost done, sailing beside the "Blue Mermaid" in his small sloop. End of story. As those who have seen some of my ships can tell, I have been following both inspiration from Sebeus I and the tutorial of fellow captain Green Hair. However, I made a few modifications which made the overall build more complex for me in the end. I have used custom-made cotton sails this time. And custom-made cannons. I really find that the CGH-Tutorial approach gives all these ships nice shapes but lacks stability. And you can never really access the lower decks which reduces playability. So, I might return to my old slope-based approach and present you some more of my reshaped old ships (if you give me some time ) Your feedback is welcome!

Hey guys! I got something I thought I'd show the community, since despite mainly being in the Heroica forum, I'm quite the avid Lego Train enthusiast, as well as an enthusiast of model trains in general. When I saw that Lego was releasing parts for a mermaid, in particular the legs, it got me thinking if I could use it somewhere on my layout. So, after a couple of months of ordering parts and a few design tweaks, I'm glad to present my take on an aquarium car! Here it is from the side! There's a bit of foliage inside to stimulate a water setting. Here it is from the back. It' the same on the other side. A view from the other side. Same as before. Fish out of water! You can make out the clear circle piece that the mermaid sit on to give somewhat of an illusion she's floating in water. So, what do you guys think?

Players only, please! Confirmation | Day One | Day 2 Lacey Davis (LegoDad) sits in her whore house, contemplating which wig she should wear in the morning. "Do I stick with this one, or should I wear the curly, brown one? I should maybe stuff my top with some wigs, too. Needless to say, she doesn't manage to see the Zombie, or hear the door loudly creak open, or even hear the load groan coming from behind her. Who knew wigs could be so distracting? A dismembered mermaid now lies where Lacey Davis once stood. Meanwhile, the zombie walks off with a nice, lean arm to gnaw on. Meanwhile, Derek Polanes (DarthPotato), walks away from the fire pit, after just burning his hands on the fire trying to warm up... ... Until he runs into the Roman Commander, who shoves his blade so far into Derek's stomach it pushes him back into the fire pit.. And the body of the Fortune Teller crackles in the pit. Everybody gathers in the morning, but instead of Mercutio, the assistants take his place. "Mercutio's taking a quick vacation for school" Carlisa announces. "He left us in charge, so we had to invite our friends Wyldstyle and Abe here to help us, especially since Abe is so honest, and Wyldstyle.... Well, she's somewhat attractive." "We could only find Bleeb's head, and I think it's pretty clear he was a Monster. So was Derek. Luckily for you, Lacey just so happened to have been a rotten member of the Council. Looks like you dipshits made more progress yesterday than you did the day before. Now go catch another so I can look good for Mercutio." Excited to have caught their first baddie, the girls... ...
