The Left Eye Sees Legos; The Right Eye Sees La-Mulana
Caturrmewn | 6:59 AM on 03.17.2009 5 comments




Let me start off this article (and my blog, I guess) by saying I love La-Mulana. I love it so much that I not only think it's the best indie game I've ever played, I think it's one of the best games ever. I may have not even beaten the game in the two years I've played it off and on, but that doesn't mean I can't show it the love it deserves. Which brings us to why we're here (or rather, why you're here reading this).

I've always wanted to make some Lego sculptures of some video game sprites, but never really wanted to spend the time to dig them out. That is, until a few months ago. After a specific case of boredom and pressure from a friend, we pulled out some of my legos from storage and set them up at her place. As you could probably guess, I already had in mind what I wanted to do. Or, rather, who. I decided to do one sculpture of the player character, Lemenza, eating his curry, and another of him standing still. Only a few hours later and we completed our masterpieces. Check them out.





The only trouble I had was figuring out how to do the black block outline of the hands and legs, which you may notice I fixed using a few flat pieces and a bit of ingenuity. They're not perfect, I know, but I hope they're good enough.

Anyways, enjoy.

I'm wondering if you posted this and it hit the blogs late or something with a not so recent date. I don't see any other comments.

Protip: Copypasta whatever you just wrote into a new entry when you want to post. Just so your entry gets as much attention as anyone elses.

Glad to see ya here babe. ~_^

Yeah, I saved it as a preview, thinking that the time lock thingy only happened after you published it. I only realized what I had done when it came up as had being posted about 5 hours (or 3, I can't remember) ago. <_<

I wish I still had pictures of my lego mario I made back when I was 8 or 9. I was really proud of myself.

Your Lemenza looks better then my creation though. I'm guessing you still have it together.
