A Priest’s Prayer - 3
A Priest’s Prayer 🙏
This is my chapel vignette MOC entitled, “Spiritual: A Priest’s Prayer” completed around December of 2021. I’ve always loved visiting churches all across the country – some of my favorites are St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the Basilica of the National Shrine of Immaculate Conception, and the Church of the Intercession, among others. This chapel is an homage and blend of typical architecture found in old churches, without specifically taking after one real-world example.
This is part 1 in a 3 part series I did of 16x16 vignettes about suffering. The whole series I saw as an exercise to really push technique, parts usage, and composition – while trying to tell a story. Each one of them focuses on one subject and has a unique lighting component. They’re also all kind of tall? Just turned out that way. At shows, some people think the priest is praying, others crying. Crafting the priest took a significant amount of time trying to get the articulation and limbs just right. Rubber band magic! :)
The two “paintings” in the MOC are one of Jesus Christ and the other of St. Nikolai II Alexandrovich Romanov. Both were sourced online, resized, and then run through the “mosaic” filter on Microsoft Word (yes, really), printed, laminated, and cut. I found the filter gives the images a mosaic-like appearance that’s congruent with the Lego style – almost as if the minfigs made a mosaic in-universe.
