By many accounts, gargoyles were installed on the sides of buildings to ward off evil spirits and demons. That makes them heroes, despite their somewhat scary looks. But as Magmafrost13 demonstrates, throw a pink skirt on a monster and suddenly the scariness makes way for cuteness. Kind of. I have to admit, all I’m imagining is an anime in which a bunch of gargoyles have to learn to ward off a series of demons through the power of friendship, love, and togetherness. Magmafrost13, I have an idea for a pitch… The post This gargoyle has gone from grotesque to gorgeous! appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Theo Spencer

98283, Brick, Modified 1 x 2 with Masonry Profile. In our house, we call it a “brick brick.” And Ben Hauger uses it perfectly. Its use is spread out and in two different colors, giving a wonderful pattern to the castle. Given that the “brick brick” is my wife’s favorite piece, how appropriate that the Falcon’s Roost castle is said to be the Lady’s keep. Be sure to fully zoom in on this photo to enjoy all of the part usage, from the minifig handcuffs in the coat of arms, to the growing vines and tiled rooftops. Ben’s castle creations are always big endeavors and spectacular to study, so it’s a rare treat that we get two new builds in one week.  Ben’s dragon–or wyvern–flies above a falling knight. A beautifully structured dragon over a wonderful rock cropping. As long as we’re appreciating Ben’s colossal castle creations, let’s revisit some of...

You know that feeling when you and your homies all pull up somewhere in matching drip and you feel like you could take on the world? That’s the vibe I’m getting from Eero Okkonen‘s trio of goblin buddies. They look absolutely rad, and full of character. Van-Gug in the middle is definitely the broody leader of the group – they organised this meet-up in the first place. On the left, that is – for want of a better word – the group clown, Bragg. There’s an opportunity to do something wild? They’re in on it. And they’re egged on by the behatted Kargas on the right. Yeah, they might be a little shy, but they still crack the funniest jokes out of nowhere. And you’d best believe they’ve all got each other’s backs with those big swords.

Stephen King has authored so many unforgettable works about relatable good folk reckoning with true evil, from horror classics like It and The Shining to more grounded works like The Green Mile and Mr. Mercedes. But for many fans (myself included!) King’s masterwork is the Dark Tower cycle, a sprawling fantasy/horror/western epic written over 30 years. I first discovered the book as a teenager, drawn in by the incredible and evocative Michael Whelan illustrations. It was a world I longed to see more of… but sadly, the first movie adaptation was a huge miss. When I saw that Gayle Spiller, the amazing LEGO house masterpiece alum with a maximalist building style, had tackled the Dark Tower in bricks, I knew we were in for a treat, but I wasn’t prepared for such a detailed tribute to King’s universe. Gayle captures the eldritch horror of the tower itself surrounded by the beautiful...

Every week, there are more amazing MOCs and builder stories than we can cover, which is why we’re so grateful to welcome back ABrickDreamer‘s This Week in Bricks series. And what a busy week it’s been, especially as we have our hands full herding all the animal heroes scurrying in for Delving Day. Sit back, grab a few bricks for table scraps, and enjoy the show!
