In one of my fits of college-induced boredom, I decided to recreate some of my favorite characters from the book series with Lego Digital Designer. Soon I sort of got addicted to it... I've only created a small portion of the characters in Erikson's huge dramatis personae, but who's to say I can't make more? I'll post pictures of the minifigures I created (ranging from cute to hilarious or both) in the OP. Feel free to post your own Malazan Lego creations (or just anything Lego you come up with--- I don't care!) as well.Feel free to point out any inaccuracies or things you wish I could change. Open to ideas!Fiddler, Quick Ben, Whiskeyjack, & Kalam~ Since Legos are a Danish product, most of the minifigures are made to have light skin. The patterns painted on their heads are thus shaded to blend with the skin tones you see on Fiddler and Whiskeyjack. Unfortunately, for dark-skinned characters like Kalam or Quick Ben, it causes some strange light-colored artifacts.~ You can sort of see Fiddler's fiddle here. I'm pretty proud of the way it turned out. (It's really a guitar piece - no fiddles in Lego)Apsalar, Paran, Hedge, Trotts, & Mallet~ Again, another example of profiling affecting my work. Legos are mostly marketed towards young boys. As such, there are far fewer female minifigure faces than male, and thus far fewer expressions. They're generally either really happy or really angry. This was about as somber as I could manage with Sorry.~ I don't really remember an apt description of Captain Ganoes Paran, so I sort of decked him out as the classic hero-boy type. Tried to add a semblance of the red Bridgeburner sigil on his chainmail - Whiskeyjack has it too.~ Hedge has a pack that we can imagine is full of Moranth munitions.Kallor, Caladan Brood, Lady Envy, & Sister Spite~ I think my Kallor minifig is among my best. His expression and hair... everything is just so perfect!~ Caladan Brood was said to have taken the form of a Barghast, so I modeled his coloring and hair after Trotts.~ Again, I tried to find a more somber expression for Spite, but it just didn't work out right. Envy's expression, however, is perfect.Gesler & Stormy~ One of my favorites of Erikson's many bromances. And two of my favorite minifigs. Their expressions crack me up every time.~ Also, you can't really tell, but their skin is Lego gold.Tool, Karsa, & Icarium~ My three favorite badasses from the series. I especially like Tool's flint sword. Note that my Tool model could really apply to any T'lan Imass (Onrack, etc.), since this is pretty much the only undead Lego face that doesn't look like a generic movie zombie. Any other T'lan Imass I make would be virtually identical to this one.~ Unfortunately all of the minifigs have to be the same height, so I couldn't make Karsa tower over the others. I did give him a huge sword, though.~ My Icarium model is the closest I can come to making a Jaghut out of Legos, since there are no orc-like faces or heads available... Sad day. Essentially also means I can't make Mappo Runt~ In real life, Lego capes are easy-to-work-with strips of cloth. In this program, not so much. They don't bend with other parts, so there are only certain combinations of hair and cape I can use. I really lucked out with Tool and Karsa, who both have long hair in the books, as well as capes.
