Blood in the Snow

[amezuki]

So I've got this Lego hobby. Y'all know that. Periodically in some of the Flickr groups in which I participate, people will hold a challenge or contest of one sort or another. The purpose is to inspire people to build and foster community involvement, but there are sometimes great prizes awarded as well

These are fantastic! Thanks for sharing them. I love the second and fourth ones. (And yours, of course.)

This is the closest thing I have to a snowpocalypse icon.

Thanks! Mine was actually the product of a single day's work, I got sledgehammered with inspiration and had to try to get the perspective to work out the way I'd visualized it. After posting several iterations on my photostream for feedback, I realized that if I kept tweaking it much more I was going to ruin it, so I called it good.

I also really like the second one, although the photography is not the best and it looks more like regular post-apoc in winter than a post-apoc ice age. That fourth one you mentioned is a very clean and tight build with good photography. It's not jaw-dropping, but it's good work and stands a chance.

Despite being somewhat simple and plain, I think the third one (with the waterfall) is probably one of the strongest competitors--if only because I know how Lego builders think, and they tend to go all googly over builds that use transparency or large-scale repetition of a single part. :)

Funny you should say that.
