Hey, @Yooha, If you have a Disco Dude, or Clown Batman in plans, then sorry to say that, but TLG have Beat you to it:

I like how you did the Ketche (Janissary hats), really nice Idea!

Hey Guys, I've made a Max! I've combined them into some sort of arachnid creature, pretty spooky, huh? Also, the Zombie Nixel stole Baron Zom-Zom's hat...

I don't want to nag, and be that guy, but, first of all, it's Guy FAWKES, not Fox, and, he's actually a historical figure from 17th century England. The licenced character from "V for Vendetta" is called V, and sure, he based his appearance and anarchistic agenda on Fawkes, but still the two characters are different.

@Takanuinuva Why, It's pretty easy and straightforward: 1. Take two 1x2 inverted half-bows: 2. Then on top of the lower studs of halfbows put a 1x2 plate with ball socket in the middle: 3. Next, connect that old skull piece, you know the one, and connect it via it's Technic pins to 1x4 brick with Technic Holes: 4. And put them on top of previous assembly, so that the 1x4 will sit on the plate with socket: 5. On top of the 1x4 brick with holes put a regular 1x4: 6. and then put two 1x2 sloped bricks on top of that, 7. Add eyes, hat, and you're done! The head is connected to a 2x2 plate with ball, that's the part of the torso:

That's right, as I said earlier, the feminine shapes on a minifigure are a result of natural sexual dimorphism, and the curves aren't that pronounced, like for example in Barbie dolls, This is not a stereotype, this is just how an adult healthy woman looks like, no sexism here, just biology. Or, to put it more bluntely, If your mother didn't have wider hips, and was an angular block, as you put it, she would have a really, really hard time giving birth to you. Please, don't take this personal, I'm not trying to insult you, or your mother, i'm just stating a cold, hard fact, and you don't need a PHD in Anthropology or Medicine to know it... Anyways, why don't just use Male torsos for your female minifigs, if some subtle feminine shapes bother you that much?

Also, It's hilarious to me that you use Minifig version of Rey, REY, the most empowered, strong and independent female character in Star Wars saga since Princess Leia (Padme doesn't count, at least the whiny, nagging housewife she was reduced to in The Revenge of the Sith), to prove you point, quote:

Come on dude, all grown up women have wider hips and smaller waistlines (not to mention the *cough* bigger breasts) than guys do, and that's not sexism, that's just biology, that's like complaining about reddish-brown skin on minifigs representing people of Afro-american descent, and calling it racist. Also, female minifigs have been this curvacious, since late 80's and 90's (mainly in Castle and Pirate themes), here are some examples:

Thanks Robert, Glad you like it.

Maybe Someday I'll design a Max, and concerning the piece count: Baron Zom-Zom: 69 Bricks Ghooly: 61 Bricks Mo Joe: 66 Bricks Zombie Nixel: 11 Bricks.

Mixels Aren't Dead... Kinda... Greetings and Salutations, And Happy Late Halloween, Fellow Eurobrickers! Today I present to you my very own Mixel Tribe, and indeed, a very spooky and Halloween themed one indeed. So, without any further ado, meet the mysterious Voodums tribe From left to right, we have: Ghooly, The leader: Baron Zom-Zom, and Mo Joe. As you see, the overall theme of the Tribe is Black Magic, Necromancy, and, of course, Voodoo, hence their name. The colorscheme is Black, Purple and Dark Green, with creepy Glow-in-the-dark addons, and a little bit of gold. At first glance, they might seem stiff and cold, but when you get to know them, they may become your friends to die for... Baron Zom-Zom is the Leader. He's a skilled magician, but don't expect him to pull out a rabbit (at least a live one) from his fancy top hat. He may be a little grim, but what would you expect from someone who lived all his life in gloomy marshes? Zom-Zom never is seen without his magic wand, which is the source of his Voodoo powers. Ghooly is the life of any party, even though he's nothing more than a walking coffin. He is also constantly hungry. Hungry for what? You don't want to know. All I can say, it begins with B, ends with a S, and it rhymes with Grains... Mo Joe may wear a headdress made of bones, but he ain't no bonehead, oh, no, in fact, he's so smart, he has a degree of a doctor, a witchdoctor that is. As Zom-Zom's assisstant, he is responsible for making all the wicked concoctions and talismans the Voodums use in their dark rituals. And, If you ask him politely, he'll show you his Snake Dance! And, as a bonus, here's a small zombified Nixel. I hoped you Enjoyed this little treat with no tricks, the .lxf will be soon avaible to download (If you ask for it politely :P), have a great November, and see you next MOC. Sincerly yours, Eggy.

Well, they already made a walking corpse (four times!), A Warrior of a Mezoamerican Indigenous People, who were known to mass-murder people to appease their gods, A member of spanish expedition who conquered and enslaved said People in a most brutal of ways, not one, but two Bloodsucking Wights of Middle European Lore, A Greek Bull-headed monster that ate young people, including children, Two female individuals connotated with occultism and Devil Worship, three (counting Swashbuckler four) criminals operating on high sea, one of which is a reanimated corpse, a man-eating plant, with terrified face of it's victim, visible through it's maw (that's seriously gruesome), a male and female scandinavian brigand known to terrorize northern coasts of medieval Europe, two clinically insane men of science playing god, a member of a mafia, many wanted criminals from different time periods, two murderous robots, two reanimated amalgams of dead body parts, AND. THREE. CLOWNS. A symbolic personification of the end of human life doesn't seem more scary as the other minifigs now, don't they? Especially, since there already was a Grim Reaper-esque minifig:

Hey, Nerd-with-a-Pencil, Great bios! I guess It's my turn now, so let's go: 80's Girl: Smartphone? I dunno what that might be, but it souds totally radical! As Disco Dude lives the in Past, so does the 80's Girl, except, that she lives in a decade later Past than him. As such, she loves everything from 1980 to 1989, the Electronic music, the huge hairstyles, the crazy neon colored clothes, and don't get me started on Lego sets released in this golden age. She even communicates in the tubular slang of the era! But still, she is also very enthusiastic about our Present Days, and like to see what comes next, for example, she was the witness of the birth of the Video Gaming, and she loves 8-bit classics, but is also awed by the nowadays next-gen consoles and motion rigs. Masked Hero: HA! You are defeated villain! Now I would mark you with my initial, but my sword has a blunt tip... By day he's posing as a dandy aristocrat, but by night, he dons his black cape and mask, and rides off on his loyal steed to fight evil and injustice in the old west, defending the defenseless, and righting wrongs in this world. Masked Hero is a great fencer, and a chivalrous daredevil. As he swings from the ceiling of a building with his whip, he is cheered by those who he helped, by stealing from the rich and giving to the poor with his gallant daring-do. Ladies and peasants adore him, evil governors and snobbish landlords hate him. But Masked hero has a quandary: He'd like to have his own calling card, something to leave, as he gallantly saves damsels and fights off soldiers and goons, he has nothing to mark his sojourn, and leave a message to his enemies. Still, whenever the church bell rings for alarm, Masked Hero will be there, to avenge any poor souls in need. Berserker Excuse me sir, I would appreciate if you allowed me to TEAR YOUR ARMS OFF, AND BEAT YOU WITH THEM DO DEATH!!! Normally, the Berserker is kind and polite member of the Viking society. That is, unless he enters his battle frenzy. When it happens, he becomes a savage maniac, flailing his axes everywhere, yelling and frothing from mouth, untill he calms down to his gentle and timid self. What's worse, it started to happen outside of battles, he can *cough* "go berserk" while doing chores, like hanging loundry, or tending the garden. Berserker really tried everything to apprehend and control his rage, but to no avail. Fortunately, his Village Psychiatrist organizes group therapy for people with such problems, and Berserker attends regularely. Cheerleader Guy Who said Cheerleading is for girls? GO TEAM! Cheerleader Guy, as any other jock started in his college football team, but soon he realised, that touchdowns and tackles are not his thing, so instead he applied to the cheerleaders, and wouldn't you know it, he found out, that this was it! At first he was mocked by his former teammates, but, since they won whole season thanks to him keeping the team's morale, they all now respect him, and his girls. Also, What could be considered an ironic twist, the Cheerlader Guy's sister is a captain of a Football team in her college! Toddler Mo-mmy, Da-ddy, Le-go... It is extremely difficult to write a biography of a minifig, who just began the adventure called life. For a long time, there wasn't even certainity if a minifigure life has a toddler stage, but, since the first baby minifigure emerged, the logical next step would be a toddler minifigure, right? Anyway, we hope that this adorable little scamp someday grow up to be a great minifig. Sandboarder Snow? Who needs snow when you have sand! WOOOO! can you see it? on that huge dune, coming down the slope, followed by a cloud of dust? That guy there is the Sandboarder. Just like his snowboarder friends, he loves the thrills of sliding down a slope, but he doesn't really like cold weather, or snow, or winter altogether. Why would you risk hypothermia, if you can effectively ride your board on sand? That's the Sandboarder's philosophy. And thus, he mastered his sport. The fact that he lives in the middle of a desert helped to hon his skills, he can even do trickjumps! VR Gamer AAAA! Help! I'm being shot at! Oh, wait, that's just a game, phew! For virtual Reality gamer, Immersion is the most important thing in games, screw graphics, story, or gameplay, the VR Gamer wants the ingame world as convincing and real-like, as it is possible. That's why he put a lot of money in his gaming rig, he even bought those crazy goggles and sensors that let you be in the game! But, sometimes the immersion becomes too great. There were times that VR Gamer had a hard time to determine, what's real, and what's just a game... Ice Cream Girl Awww, cheer up, Ice Cream fix all the problems, here, have a cone! The Cheerful Ice Cream Girl is a great conneseur of the sweet ice-cold delicacy, wether it's a sorbet, gellato, or a popsicle, she loves it all, wether served in cups, cones, or bowls, with sprinkles, whipped cream or nuts. No wonder she always wears her costume. She traveled the whole world, discovering a myriad of new flavours, and gathering recipies in hopes of opening her own Ice cream shop. Ice cream girl doesn't like two things though: People who don't like ice cream, and frozen yoghurt.

So do I, So do I...

Are there any New Decorations?

Sorry for nitpicking, but this style and setting is more Dieselpunk than Steampunk. Otherwise, that's a really nice MOC.

Oh, okay then. :)

Huh, It's been awkwardly silent 'round here for some time now, Robert mah boi, when's series D approachin'?

I have an idea for minifig too: An Eastern Villain, A Chinese Mandarin-like evil guy a'la Fu Manchu...

@Ulrik Hansen: First of all, you ignored my previous post before the one you quoted. Second, the post you quoted was Directed to SylvainLS, not you. Third, when I said "While Ulrik's quip was a desperate attempt to provoke a shitstorm, to distract us from the fact, that he's out of merithorical arguments", I ment the "Almighty Guardians of Eurobricks" thing, not the discussion as a whole. And, as you can see, you didn't convince us to your arguments, nor did we convince you, we all didn't agree on anything. Isn't it a pointless waste of words?

THUS SAYS EGGYSLAV!

Ok, I admit, I was a little bit salty, but hear me out, When I said: "Don't you have better topic for discussion", I expressed my opinion, that talking about some made-up, arbitrary rules on building in LDD is pointless, because it won't lead to any conclusions. So, yeah, my point there was valid, While Ulrik's quip was a desperate attempt to provoke a shitstorm, to distract us from the fact, that he's out of merithorical arguments. And I never said I didn't like the topic, I just stated that it doesn't make sense, and now I participate in it to express this statement, and justify it with valid arguments.

Oh, come on, I can agree on competition rules, but outside of said competitions, these rules simply do not apply, It's free for all, baby, everyone builds how they like, with custom bricks, non real life colors and even clay if you want. Lego is all about creativity, vision, and most of all, fun, and artificial boundaries, and silly semantics of "What is, and isn't Lego" just kill these three. And sometimes your MOC just needs to transcend these arbitrary rules, so it can be faithfull to your vision. Lego isn't just a brand of plastic bricks, It's a lifestyle, and artistic medium. And you should know it, since you're supposed to be a "Professional Lego Artist". So, yeah, you wanted our opinion, and now you're complaining about getting those opinions? It's a little bit inconsequent, don't you think? You asked for it, so don't go crying about it. And the "Almighty Guardians of Eurobricks" bit wasn't nessesary.

Ummm... No, MOC stands for My Own Creation, that is, a model you concieved by yourself, and built it from scratch, and MOD stands for Modification of an existing Lego model, whether it be an official Lego set, or some other builder's MOC. I think, that at this point, the discussion is, well, pointless, since your argument about Lego nomenclature confuses and misinterpretates two of the basic terms within this very nomenclature you're trying to defend. In other words, Your argument is Invalid. Have a nice day, good sir. Poza tym, mój drogi rodaku, podćwicz trochę swój angielski, bo ledwo zrozumiałem o co ci chodzi...

As a LDD user, I often let my creativity go wild, and build with bricks in non real life colors, and I'm fine with naming my creations Lego Models, because I just don't care about it, It's LEGO Digital Designer after all, there's nothing wrong with it. Recolouring a brick in LDD Expanded mode is not cheating, it's a mechanic implemented in the software by it's makers. We are still operating with LEGO bricks, in a LEGO program, made by The LEGO group. So, yeah, Lego it is, no matter how outlandish colors or techniques you use. Also, don't you have any better topic for discussion?
