Litra Pro – Toying With Light

After the fall of the Galactic Empire, there wasn’t much call for protocol droids. Unshackled from their etiquette programming by syndicate hackers, they descended into the shadowy world of unlicensed robot boxing. #droidlife

Ah, helmet hair.

#stormtrooperlife #troopertuesday … Today’s character is a frankensteined mashup with a Stormtrooper body, Han Solo head, and hair from Kai. The desk in the background is borrowed from the Creator Expert set 10278 Police Station. Behind the Scenes I enjoy sharing a look at the process behind my work and my creative journey.

In a world beyond civilization, she must #neverstop

“All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it.”

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince Guilty. But as I’ve written before, my pandemic silver lining was discovering LEGO photography. It’s become a simple daily pleasure that doesn’t depend on being able to leave the house. And it lets me indulge in the serious business of play. Today’s minifigure is a custom that I frankensteinedContinue reading ““All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it.””

Who goes there?

For #troopertuesday I’m featuring a pair of Imperial Sandtroopers. Sandtroopers are a specialized type of Stormtrooper, trained and equipped to operate on desert worlds such as Tatooine, Jakku, and Jedha. Their armour is upgraded with cooling fans, helmets with sand filters, and they carry survival backpacks with extra rations and water. We first saw SandtroopersContinue reading “Who goes there?”

The darkest hour is just before dawn

I thought I would share something new today: a Lighting Recipe where I show exactly how I lit this shot. I am partial to low key photography with soft lighting – placing emphasis on only specific areas of the frame using light, otherwise dark tones throughout, and with a smooth transition between light and shadow.

‘I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir…’

This is my entry in Brickcentral’s monthly themed activity: #bcteamwork Our goal was to craft a scene where several minifigures/characters join forces, doing something epic, or cute, or crazy, or something very simple. Totally up to us. Our guidelines: use LEGO minifigures/characters (more than 4 different minifigures/characters please!) only new pictures use the hashtags #brickcentralContinue reading “‘I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir…’”

It’s just another manic Monday…

I wish it was Sunday… … Today’s LEGO minifigure is a mashup, with the warrior helmet from the currently available set 75267 Mandalorian Battle Pack, and the Bruce Wayne sand blue suit from the retired 2012 set 6860 The Batcave.
