2022 Recap
We've once again reached the new year, so it's time to look back at what I've done this year. It's gone by so quickly, hasn't it?
As always, I've tagged a bunch of builders who have inspired me throughout this last year.
I started the year off by participating in the annual Iron Forge, placing in the top 8 as I faced off against the one and only ForlornEmpire. It was a true honor to compete against Eli, and I absolutley loved to see him compete in IB again just earlier this month. I'm hoping to compete in IF again in 2023, and I can't wait to see who else manages to compete!
After IF, I began experimenting with a new color scheme, untilizing old purple, one of my favorite LEGO colors. I ended up with this Bard's Cottage, in which I tried out a bunch of new geometric techniques. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice on it along the way!
In June, I began working with my collab team from last year (KitKat1414, mbricks52, and Dan The Fan) on a new series of builds for the Summer Joust. We created four builds focusing on an elderly gnome who created a magnificent feast for his woodland neighbors. We ended up winning the Exotic Feast collab category this year, which was super exciting!
After I began building for the collab, I travelled to Chicago to attend my first convention, Brickworld Chicago. I had a blast displaying with RebelLug, participating in the Simon/Markus games, putting together a bunch of Si-MOCs's models, and so much more. It was awesome to meet so many builders there! I'm looking forward to attending next June, I can't wait to see what new memories we can make together!
Although I haven't posted anything recently, I've still been building, slowly. Hopefully Brickscalibur and Iron Forge can get me back into the swing of things!
Thank you all for such a wonderful year.
