video games – Creative Brick Building

Lego Hollow Knight Characters

These are some custom brick-built figures I have created of some of the key characters in the popular indie video game, Hollow Knight.

Starting off from left to right, we have Hornet, Quirrel, The Knight’s Shade, and The Knight himself.

Hollow Knight Characters

Hornet is a rather important character in Hollow Knight. She is a boss who, after beating her in furious combat twice, will join you and assist you in the final battle. Hornet also appears as the main protagonist of Hollow Knight Silksong, the game’s sequel.

Quirrel is another very important character in the game. He appears all over Hallownest as you explore the world. He, like Hornet, aids you in a boss fight as well. Quirrel once encountered Hornet on his travels, seeing as they both have a part in the resurrection of the kingdom.

The Knight’s Shade is the ghost of The Knight. It appears after you die. You must return to the place where you died and defeat it in order to get your Geo (Hallownest’s currency) back.

And last, but certainly not least, is The Knight, the game’s protagonist and the Vessel chosen to seal away the Infection and revive the dead kingdom of Hallownest. The Knight is a Voidling, the children of the Pale King and the White Lady.

He and his thousands of siblings were born in The Abyss. They were birthed there because the special conditions of The abyss made them the perfect vessels for containing the Infection. They have no mind to think, no will to break, and no voice to cry suffering. It is The Knight’s duty to awaken the Three Dreamers, enter The Black Egg Temple, and replace The Hollow Knight as the chosen vessel to seal away the Radiance and save the kingdom.

These figures mainly use black, dark gray, light gray, white, and red Lego pieces. The figures also use some relatively advanced building techniques in order to make sure the characters look a close as they possibly can to their in-game appearance. I might release a tutorial video on how to make them.

Overall, I am happy with how these figures came out and I hope they inspire you.

Lego Zelda Breath of the Wild Monk Maz Koshia

This is a custom Lego build of Monk Maz Koshia from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Monk Maz Koshia is the final boss of The Champion’s Ballad DLC. He is fought after completing The Final Trial on an ancient Sheikah platform floating in the sky high above Hyrule.

Maz Koshia has a variety of powerful attacks including striking with his Guardian Sword, creating clones of himself, turning himself into a giant, hurling spiked balls at you, and levitating in the air.

This was a fairly difficult build to design, but I am happy with how the final version turned out.

For the Guardian Sword I used a Lego Nexo Knights transparent light blue sword blade piece, a transparent orange stud with hole, and a dark brown Lightsaber hilt piece. The build mainly uses dark gray and tan bricks but uses some other colors as well. I used droid arm pieces in dark gray for the arms along with several dark gray claw pieces for the legs and upper arms.

I am happy with how this build turned out and hope to make more builds from Breath of the Wild in the future. Breath of the Wild is a great game and I highly recommend it and I am very excited for the release of BOTW’s sequel in 2022.

Lego Hollow Knight: The Knight and The False Knight

This is a build from the metroidvania game Hollow Knight. It features figures of The Knight and The False Knight.

In the game, Hollow Knight, you play as a nameless knight and travel through the ancient insect fantasy kingdom of Hallownest exploring the world, upgrading your abilities, and fighting enemies and bosses.

The Knight is the main protagonist of Hollow Knight. It is a discarded vessel, one of the children of the Pale King and the White Lady. It was born in the Abyss with Void inside its shell. The Knight uses a weapon called the Nail and can perform various attacks with it to defeat its enemies.

The False Knight is one of the first major bosses the Knight meets in the game. He is a Maggot wearing the stolen armor of Hegemol the Mighty, one of the Five Great Knights of Hallownest.

He wanted to find means to protect his siblings who live in a storeroom in the Forgotten Crossroads. when he discovered Hegemol sleeping, he took his armor for himself, hoping it would make him stronger. However, his plan backfired when Hegemol’s armor drove him insane and he was overtook by by the Infection.

Lego Among Us Crewmate Figures

There’s an imposter among us!

This is a Lego MOC (My Own Creation) I made from the hit indie video game Among Us. You have probably already seen my other Among Us post, but this one is different.

The crewmates are on a bigger scale this time because I wanted to experiment with other designs and scale of these iconic characters.

I used smooth tiles and plates to build the body, and I used rounded, flat tiles to build the visor on each crewmate.

These are the characters you play as in the game. Just like in the game, you can customize their color, hat, and equip various skins.

Regardless of whether you’re a crewmate or an imposter you still play as an astronaut, since the whole point of the game is to try and figure out who are the imposters and who are your friends.

The game would be a lot less fun if everybody knew who were the imposters and who were the crewmates.

Among Us is a very fun game and I definitely recommend it.

Custom Lego Among Us Characters

There is 1 imposter among us. These are custom models of the player characters in the hit online game Among Us.

Among Us is a game where one player plays as the alien imposter, while the others play as crewmates. The crewmate’s job is to complete tasks around the map and report dead bodies. If all the crewmates complete all their tasks then they win.

The imposter’s job is to kill crewmates, fake tasks, and sabotage various systems around the map.

When a dead body is found it is reported and everyone goes into a meeting where they discuss the incident and vote for who they think the imposter is. Whoever gets the most votes is ejected. If all the imposters are ejected then the crewmates win.

These figures are fairly easy to build, seeing as the design isn’t very complicated in the game. This build consists of nine figures: red, yellow, lime green, dark green, blue, light gray, brown, white, and black. I enjoy playing Among Us, so these were fun to build .

Lego Breath of the Wild Vah Rudania Custom Model.

This is a Lego model of Divine Beast Vah Rudania from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In the game, Vah Rudania is a huge Sheikah relic that is piloted by the Goron champion Daruk.

Despite its size, it can walk up the side of Death Mountain with ease and its face can open up to fire a laser at Ganon.

It is one of the four Divine Beasts piloted by the four champions: Vah Rudania piloted by Daruk of the Gorons, Vah Ruta piloted by Mipha of the Zora, Vah Medoh piloted by Revali of the Rito, and Vah Naboris piloted by Urbosa of the Rerudo.

In Breath of the Wild, you must take back control over the Divine Beasts from Ganon and free the spirits of the champions so they can fire a laser at Ganon to greatly reduce his strength.

However, in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity you can play as the champions and use the Divine Beast’s incredible powers against the forces of evil.

This is a view of the main control unit on the back of Vah Rudania.

This is the travel gate and the entryway to Vah Rudania. The travel gate is how you teleport out of Vah Rudania and back up to the top of Death Mountain.

Vah Rudania is one of my favorite Divine Beasts and Breath of the Wild is my favorite game, so this was a cool build to make. And, I know I’ve said this a million times in my other BOTW builds but I’ll say it again. I highly recommend Breath of the Wild to anyone who has a Nintendo Switch or Wii U.

Zelda Breath of the Wild Yiga Clan Hideout Vignette.

Beware the eye of the Yiga Clan!

This is a Lego vignette of the Yiga Clan Hideout from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The wild video game.

In the game, you must enter the hideout and sneak past the guards to the arena where you fight Master Kohga (the leader of the Yiga clan) to reclaim the coveted Thunder Helm.

In the scene, Link is baiting the guard with a banana-the Yiga Clan’s favorite food.

I made the Link figure with tan legs with brown boots, dark tan arms, brown hands, a Minecraft Steve torso, a Star Wars Luke Skywalker head and hair, and a brown strap and gunmetal gray sword.

For the Yiga Clan Blademaster I used dark gray legs with red waist and boots, a Nexo Knights lava monster torso with muscle printing, dark gray arms, red hands, a gold chest plate with a gold 1 x 1 round tile, a plain red head with a custom sticker for the mask, a dark red hood, and a ninja sword piece.

Zelda Breath of The wild is a game for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U and I highly recommend it to anyone who has one of those systems.

Zelda Breath of the Wild Master Kohga Lego Build

“The strong!… The burly!!… The one!!, the only!!!… MASTER KOHGA!!!”

This is a Lego build of the character Master Kohga from the video game Zelda Breath of the Wild. He is the leader of the deadly Yiga Clan, a band of assassins who worship Calamity Ganon and are dedicated to destroying the heroes who oppose Ganon. The Yiga Clan all love bananas and can be baited with them so you can sneak past them in the game.

Master Kohga himself is adored and looked up to by the rest of the clan but he spends most of his time loafing about the hideout and taking naps.

He is referred to as “the top banana of the Yiga Clan,” and he is quite a funny character. The first thing he says to his enemy Link is, “Who the heck are you? And what are you doing in my napping spot?!”

For this build I used mainly red and dark red bricks, along with some ball and socket pieces.

Master Kohga is a boss in the game and uses a unique set of attacks against Link, including summoning a giant spiked ball (witch ultimately backfired).

Breath Of The Wild is my favorite game and Master Kohga is one of my favorite bad guys in the game (not to mention the funniest!). I highly recommend playing the game if you have a Nintendo Switch or Wii U.

Lego Hinox from Zelda Breath of the Wild

This is a Hinox from The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. It has many of the details that the in-game Hinox has. For example: it has the necklace with the shrine ball and even the Hinox’s blue tongue. The mouth opens and the neck and arms are articulated. I also included the yellow arm band using a 1×1 yellow plate and the same piece I used for the Hinox’s teeth in yellow!

The Hinox is a very big mini boss in the game and when fighting one make sure to shoot your arrows at his eye for maximum damage! Also keep in mind that one of the Hinox’s most dangerous attacks is his ability to rip trees out of the ground and use them as weapons!

All in all, I am very proud of this MOC (my own creation) and hope to build more things from Breath of The Wild which is a fantastic game and I highly recommend it.

Lego Miniland Sonic the Hedgehog.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game character from the 90’s. He is a very fast blue hedgehog from the game Sonic the Hedgehog released for the Sega Genesis.

In the game you run through various levels collecting golden rings and trying to defeat the evil Dr. Eggman (and no, I don’t know why he’s called that either). The levels include the iconic Green Hill Zone, Chemical Plant, and the water filled Labyrinth Zone.

Here are some fun facts about Sonic: they made a Sonic movie, and, here’s an interesting one, Sonic was originally going to be called Mr. Needlemouse.
