Medieval Fantasy meets LEGO Again

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the to-much-spare-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "At over two years in the making, The Kingdom of Ikros provides viewers with a 40-chapter novel, graphically illustrated entirely by LEGO models and Photoshop effects. Apparently the author isn't stopping there, either, a link off the main page takes you to another website which will host the sequel. The Kingdom of Ikros website also contains a pair of flash movies and pictures of the models used in the story, as well as biographies of the characters involved."

    i propose a new corrolary to Godwin's Law:
    As the number of posts on a LEGO-related thread increase, the probability of a slashdot effect goes to one.

    Interesting concept, although I would be much more impressed if the site was supported by a writer with some talent. If there was a story-line that was more interesting and a bit more eloquent story-telling, this would be some really great stuff.


    Same goes for the brick testament stuff - that one didn't take any writing talent at all (although the pictures, admittedly, are pretty cool in most cases.)

    Anyways, better writing or maybe just more nudity. Lego-porn would be great, and would make up for bad scripts.

    Except the girls are all pretty flat-chested.

    Uh, when you use materials to make something, that's not a copyright infringement. Famous paintings are most definitely not copyright of the people who made the paint*, and my photos are definitely not copyright of FujiFilm.

    * Except of course, that the best painters all made the paint themselves, but consider contemporary ones for a better example.

    Medieval Fanatic fails to impress girls with LEGOs. Again.

    Guy wasting day posting to criticize Medieval Fanatic also fails to impress girls.

    6/10 for Lego. 1/10 for writing.

    Unless the concept was something like 'let's write the Eye of Argon again, only not funny'.
