Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

The bed should be moved just one stud closer to the table.

The bedroom and the kitchen seem really good, but the bathroom seems way off.  It way bigger than a typical bathroom should be, and the checked pattern on the way feels wrong because the squares are really more of rectangles, and they're a tad too big to be wall tiles.
The shower looks like a phone box.  It should probably be in the corner of the room, as most showers are, and there should also be a sink.
Think small and compact.

Dismal and minimalistic sums it up quite well.

I'm going for a bit of a dismal, minimalistic "American Psyho" look.

My favorite is the bedroom. I like the design of the bed, and the radiator is a nice touch.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

Honestly, the lighting is pretty bad. It looks like you just planned to take a still frame of some LEGO bricks.

Have you seen a big-chinned boy?

@HoldingOurOwn The church looks very effective! The only thing that stands out to me is that in all the churches I've been to the piano faces the wall...But that could just be the English wanting to make church as boring as possible for the pianist ;D Very nice set mini/smile The stain glass windows are very detailed mini/smile Loving the symmetry you put on then mini/smile

Thanks for the comments, and the interesting fact about the organs!  The church scene here is actually inspired by a real church in New Jersey USA.  The organs around here all face the congregation or the altar.  If you look more closely at the long stained glass windows on the altar, they are actually asymmetric, but balanced to look roughly symmetric.  Most notably is the orange piece under the green piece, with no corresponding pattern on the facing window.

It looks like I have to press down on the medium blue plate a bit more.  It's not securely on.  I also mention on the tumblr page that I'm using sand blue for the foundation, a rare color.

I made a turkey. I probably won't use it, but it's still fun to have on my desk. mini/tongue  And the pictures don't really do it justice, they didn't turn out very well.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

Looks good.
The only thing I would change is the red 'beak' area. The red seems too bright, and I'd say something more traditional, like yellow, would look better. Otherwise great, and I like the 'crooked' building technique.

Double post....Whoops.

@GalacticFilms you need to get more than just one light.

A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

Those look amazing, Eddie. I think you've pulled off the dismal feel very nicely. Yeah, I know that it's on the last page, but I noticed his photos just now.]

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

After playing the game Cube World, I became very interested in making trees out of plates in several colours to make an Autumn setting, and so I tried it out.

I'm quite pleased with the results.
I'm not actually planning a brickfilm with these, but they looked so nice that I built a full set to give them a nice picture.  But I'll keep them until I ever need them.  It's very rare to have a brickfilm set in Fall, and I would very much like to make one.

Also, since THAC is so near, I'm going to keep this set up just in case I need a fall forest.  And even if I don't want a Fall forest, I can easily take the trees off and redecorate this to whatever suits my plans if I need an exterior scene.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

Dang, that's beautiful.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

That looks great mini/bigsmile

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

I'm suprised! That looks good.

Reminds me of Rivendel from LotR. That is amazing. mini/smile

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

It looks cool. The first thing that came to mind for me was THe Lorax

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

I'm stunned. The outcome was great, like you said, and I would very much enjoy seeing this in a brickfilm.
