custom brick-only goblins....
custom brick-only goblins....
Here are a pair of goblins, a river goblin and a cliff goblin...
The river goblin is wearing fish-scale armor, and the cliff goblin is wearing dark, rag-like garb...
The river goblin is armed with an iron bludgeon, and the clifff goblin is carrying a large, deeply curved scimitar...
River goblins lack the curved, ram-like horns of their cliff-dwelling brethren...
Please tell me what you think...

How did you make that!boses wrote:large, deeply curved scimitar...
Just kidding.
I like the goblins, but their heads are exceedingly large. Maybe you could make them bigger as Trolls?

Well, if you think the Goblin heads are too big, too bad.
I've never seen a consistent definition of any fantasy monster, so
it really depends on which book, movie, or game you are
using as the basis for your monster.
I chose the Hobbit cartoon as the basis for my Goblins, for several reasons,
namely they are easy to build and they don't look like my other brick-only
monsters or demi-human figures, and I think they are cute, too.
I'd be glad to build a Troll, if I knew what they generally look like - case in
point, look at one of the Trolls in Willow and compare it to the Troll in Harry
Potter. See what I mean???

Well, I can see it by clicking on the link, which I could do before when I only got the "red 'x' in white box" sign.boses wrote:Formendacil-

I don't know what the problem was, but there's no problem now.
Thanks (although I already knew what they looked like. )

Boses, I like the heads, but they look really goofy on a minifig body. How about making a custom brick built body as well?
~[url=http://www.neutronbot.com/kevin/]Kevin Blocksidge[/url]
The goblins are roughly humanoid in form and proportion, so I use the
minifig torso when building them. I have no intentions of altering this
design, I think brick-built torsos would be a waste of time, and I have
never found a reasonable substitute for the minifig arms, I refuse to use
the space claw-arm-thing for a minifig.
While other brick-only monsters and demi-humans look fine, such as
dragons and nagas, human-like monsters require more detail, and I do my
best to strike a critical balance when building them...
and therefore I use and will continue to use whatever piece I feel best
displays the idea I am trying to convey...I am however, always open to
suggestions, and I will take the brick-built minifig torso idea into
consideration when building other monsters...
Thank you.
