This is my 1st anniversary here on MOCpages. I had discovered the pages some month earlier, but I needed some bricks to build my own stuff. By the way, I chose MOCpages over the other LEGO® pages because I liked its design best.
About this creation
To celebrate my fist year I open another page in my LEGONOMICON: I created a new H. P. Lovecraft vignette, based on the movie Dagon which is actually based on the story The Shadow over Innsmouth , the only book of him published during his lifetime.
For those of you who want to read the story about Robert Olmstead (which I highly recommend), I don’t want to spoil anything. Go away.
Some of you know that I don’t have much time at the moment. I took this pictures at work, not at home, and now I think that they didn’t quite came out the way I wanted them to be. The problem is, the alley in the vig is too narrow to take interesting pictures from different angles. Oh well, next time.
Okay, this was my first year here. I’m looking forward to the next ones. Special thanks to Sean Kenney for providing this awsome platform and to Chris Phipson and Mark Kelso for their never ending work, inspiration and motivation.
Bones, Leda, Hans, Heath, Shifu, Stu, Tom, El Barto, Dave, Dennis and all the others that I didn’t name here due to laziness (but I love you anyway), let me tell you something:
You all took my innocent little mind, scrambled it and turned me into the evil, bloodlusting monster that I am today.
And I want to thank you for that. Glad to be here.

Though I'm not familiar with the source material, the opening photo really snagged my eye in the thumbnail. Awesome roofing and great job with the rocky sidewalk (I think that's what it is)! |

You captured the general feel of that movie. Oddly, Lego minifigs seem to have anticipated the denizens of HPL's works. |

The 'narrowness' of the alley is not a problem at all, it creates a very claustrophobic, unsettling feel. Very nice. |

It is great to see Lovecraft fans build with Legos ;) It is even greater to see such nice details overwhelming the whole creation.. I mean every way I look there is some eye-candy :D Excellent! |

Nice build!!! Slightly disturbing for Lego (ha...ha...ha), but very well crafted! Plus I'm a big fan of "studless" creations, as you can probably tell from having seen some of mine. |

Hey, beautiful, yet again. Nail on the head, bull's eye,etc. And, thanks for the advice. Read my response on my page. You sir, are my new hero. Thank you for the advice, and I will keep on mocing, Dark Age or not. I guess I just need some new inspiration: Movie watching time this weekend. And now I have some new inspiration from this moc. Thanks again, keep on bricking. |

Another great job Mr! I'm leaving the details: 1) The roofs 2) the narrow lane 3) rounded off the wall 4) The Devil on crutches 5), the lamp 6) the uneven pavement 7) the last picture. This is powerful, high-impact, and creates a lot of suspanse.
My congratulations, I'm speechless! This Win !!!!!

But the narrow alley is cinematically potent, and all the brilliant texturing still comes through, as do various details everywhere. We'll compensate for the limited views by assuming there are yet more details we don't see. Does that help? |
