Adventurer in Gnarled Forest This vignette is a tribute to LEGO Universe. It depicts a chunk of the pirate-themed world Gnarled forest, and a brave rookie who's going on an adventure on his first day of play. Provided that he survives his armourless journey, this fella will be a perfect Venture League recruit! For those that have never heard of LU, it was a massively multiplayer online role playing game (mmorpg) that released in October 2010 and got closed in February 2011. It is without a doubt the most ambitious Lego game ever; it had a multitude of inspiring fantasy worlds, quests, factions, minigames, in-game Lego building spaces, never-seen-before gear and one main goal: defeating the evil Maelstrom. You can check out the , the gameplay trailer and the wiki. Two promotional sets were released: http://brickset.com/...e-LEGO-Universe .On a side note, Thanks for looking, C&C appreciated!

The LEGO snow speeder design from Episode V (The Empire Strikes Back) of Star Wars fame has been using basically the same design for over a decade (since 2003's set 4500, actually) and I think I may have created a new way of doing it. Here is that 2003 set for reference. ....and here is my version: The models features a newer cockpit canopy courtesy of the Speed Champions theme and a nose made out of part 6153b. Yes, I removed the gunners seat / harpoon gun and added a astro-droid socket, but it's the same basic cockpit design and the look is still present if it were 100% screen accurate.... you could even back convert it into it's Episode V state quite easily. The roof of the canopy comes off to place the figure inside at the controls. The ship features two engines and two laser cannons, plus a astro-droid fits where the gunner usually would go. Okay, confession time: This model was made for use with my LEGO Universe - related Neo-Nexus Force stuff, and as such the wings should have this logo printed on the 2 x 2 curved slopes: http://alpha.brickli...68pb004#T=C&C=4 The model is featured along with the rest of the LU models in this thread there, but since it is also Star Wars related, I brought it home to this topic. Here is the LDD file in case anyone wants it: http://www.moc-pages...1462716991m.lxf Also, if anyone wants to see my other topic and it's models including the space base, its in the sci-fi forum at this link: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=106512 EDIT: Version 2 This version features less slopes and a more angular roof canopy, plus a different rear windscreen. Comments, complaints, and questions welcome!

I've run contests before, but since I want to spread my outreach for this contest, I have decided to post this one here. So, without further ado, let me introduce the... This new contest is being run in conjunction with a current animation project, titled Project U! So, what is this contest, you may ask? Well, read on to find out! Official Rules 1. You will create a new and original character and cast them into one of the four Nexus Force factions: Sentinels, Assembly, Venture League, or Paradox. 2. While the character is restricted to one of the four factions, they are not restricted to the classes of each faction (ex. A Sentinel character doesn’t have to be a knight, samurai, or space marine). 3. You will submit a five-point turnaround of one and only one character (unless it is important for the character to have a maximum of one companion). In addition to this, you will also submit details that tell the character’s name, age, personality traits, and any other important information. 4. When submitting a character design, there is no restriction on the medium used. You may use actual LEGO pieces, LDraw, LEGO Digital Designer, pencil and paper, pen and ink, paint, digital paint, vector drawing, 3D Max, Autodesk Maya, etc. 5. You will not be restricted to actual LEGO pieces (as the characters in LEGO Universe were not). However, if you want to be more inventive, it is recommended that these pieces are modeled after pieces that can be bought from third-party vendors (Brickarms, BrickForge, etc.). 6. Mustache Maniacs Film Co. staff members cannot participate in this contest. 7. All entries MUST be accepted by December 31, 2014. 8. To submit your entry for this contest, make a reply in this thread that contains character description and all of the required images. All live posts will be considered submitted. Prizes 20 finalists selected from the different branches of this contest will be featured in the final Project U film, Legends of the Universe (scheduled release: 2020)! 1 grand prize winner selected from the 20 finalists will play the part of the character they created! With that said, be sure to have fun and good luck! P.S.: I haven't entirely dabbled in minifigure customization, but have created several animated brickfilms (this contest relates to one of my in-development films). If you are not familiar with my work, here is a link to the official Mustache Maniacs Film Co. website. http://mustachemaniacsfilmco.webs.com/ -
Hey all, I joined a while back but I've never actually posted anything. I'm Johnnyred, I've been a LEGO fan for literally all my life. I played with Duplos until I was 3 and shortly after I was 3 I got my very first LEGO set, the #6538 Rebel Roadster. Since then I've faithfully played and built with LEGO. In more recent days I use LEGO as a media for my creative writing, inventing Adventure Comix, a unique webcomic that blends LEGO fandom with the LEGO world itself, focusing on users on the LMBs and the LUCL as some of the main protagonists of the series. This series aired on the LUCL early in 2009 and shortly after the Phoenix Command Group was founded by myself along with two other users, Ianrobert732 and Legotrain587. This group originally only intended to be meant for we three users expanded to include over 150 users from the LUCL. The Phoenix Command Group is a Star Trek/LEGO fan group that creates canon and non-canon starships, shuttles, fighters, ground vehicles, personnel, etc. We also have numerous online roleplays and stories that we have written. If you are intrested in more information on the PCG contact myself or a fellow Eurobricks user here known as Flipz. The primary reason that I'm starting to utilize Eurobricks is simply just to get in touch with Flipz, I'm an admin on another LEGO fan forum (which shall remain nameless) and a user that joined around February told us that Flipz had gotten in touch with him here. So, until I have enough posts to utilize the private messaging, I will have to wait for him to contact me. I am, however, greatly looking forward to connecting with fellow AFOLs and discussion LEGO with them. I do have a Brickshelf account, username Johnnyred, here's a link http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=Johnnyred. I don't have much up right now, I'm in the process of re-organizing and re-photographing. For now, thank you for listening to me babel on, I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you! Johnnyred "J-red"
