Anything can be made out of LEGO, we all know that. Still occasionally you might run across the work of a LEGO artist who takes the unlimited nature of LEGO to new levels and makes something breathtakingly magical, beautiful and dreamlike…
Today I would like to introduce you to such a LEGO artist from the newly formed LEGO Users Group Beokocka (meaning: “white brick”) from Belgrade, Serbia. His name is Ivan Angeli, and he is an AFOL (Adult-Fan-of-LEGO). Throughout this article I will show you some of Ivan’s LEGO creations, and also let him share a little bit about himself. Enjoy! 🙂
“All of my LEGO MOCs are inspirited by the fantasy world of AD&D (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons), precisely the game Baldur’s Gate I and II. So my main themes are LEGO Fantasy and LEGO Castle, and there are a lot of fantasy creatures in my LEGO MOCs as well.”
“By strange set of circumstances I’ve got my hands on a lot of red 1×2 bricks, and the only fraction that could fit that color scheme were Drow from the Underdark, so many of my castles have that evil vibe.”
“I like to build a LEGO creation until I use all the LEGO bricks that I own, even tires for ballasts and interior construction.”
“All of my Brickshelf Folders have three main subfolders: the Main Folder, where I store all the pictures of the finished MOC, the Construction Folder, where different stages of the building process are presented. And a Minifigs Folder with all the minifigs in a particular MOC – ranging from a few to a few hundred. You can also see some of my LEGO creations on flickr.”
“I love to use my girlfriend as a model to represent scale for my LEGO models.” (See the full size picture here.)
“I really like blue and red lighting; giving LEGO MOCs a celestial and evil mood, as shown below.” (More pictures here.)
“I love to play with my finished LEGO creations, but really play, like a child. I never had a Dark Age. Also, I accidentally discovered that girls actually like guys who build things with LEGO, so I stopped hiding my LEGO MOCs when a new girl would come over for the first time.” 😉
“I never make plans for my LEGO creations, use LEGO Digital Designer, or any other program. I just take a LEGO baseplate and start building – usually while listening to good music.” 😀
“What else can I tell you about myself and my LEGO creations? If you have some questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for checking out my LEGO creations. Hope they give you some inspiration!”
