This is a recreation of my first ever shot. You can see it here on my Flickr if you scroll down far enough 😬. Tell me what you guys think!
Alright, I couldn’t help myself. That Christo/Junkrat Combo was too good so I made a few more figs to go with him, mostly just so I could have an excuse to take some more photos and show him off again :P
And for those that will ask, The Trident is from RexMinibrick and all three swords are from BrickForge!

Listen to me, Barry!
Breathe!
...Breathe.
Feel the air.... Feel that wind on your face.
Feel the ground with your feet, lifting you up, pushing you forward...
And the lightning, Barry... feel the lightning.
Feel its power, its electricity thumping through your veins, crackling through you, traveling to every nerve in your body, like a shock.
You're no longer you now, you're part of something greater... part of a speed force. It's yours
S01E17
-------------FINALE-SPOILERS--------------
OH MY GOD! ...THEY DID... OH WOW... AND THE... MY GOODNESS...!
Did this really just happen?! That was incredible! I have so many feelings right now!
So my first thoughts about all of this are centered around that final 15 minutes. Time Machines and Wormholes and Weddings and Helmets! (Oh man I literally yelped when Jay's Helmet came on screen) Plus Tom Cavanagh's performance is incredible! I hope the new Eobard will be able to set that bar for me.
But like, the whole Speedforce scene with the clips of things like the Flash statue, Killer Frost, Legends of Tomorrow stuff; Dude this show is not messing around! The Flash has so much history and works so well for TV and I'm so incredibly happy it's going in the 'dorky-comic' direction as opposed to Arrow's current "realistic" thing they've got going on.
And let's talk about Onlinesailin's fig! With John's design and The CW's black leather look... I stare at this fig and all I can think of is Zoom going through his punk-rocker phase :P
Anyway, what did you guys think of that finale? Or even the whole season? I'm just blown away at what we've been given in this show! :)
Finally got my hands on that new(ish) Junkrat fig and man does the head work great for Eobard! So of course I couldn’t help but take some photos of him :P

To find the conclusion to his chaos, The Reverse Flash has but one final goal. To end his opposite. Toiling and tormenting Barry since he was a young boy, Murdering Allen's Mother had only been the beginning of his torture. Getting to watch as Barry saw his world crumble and friends fight and die around him was the ultimate victory for Eobard.
Luckily for Barry, with help, re-created the instance that gave him his powers, thus, regaining his connection with the Speed-Force. Now back at full potential, The Flash Races off to London to try and keep Diana and Aurthur from a world wide war of ages. Only then does he find out who was really behind all of this. ...But will he be able to change things back to what they were before Thawne?
---------------------------------------
Okay let's be honest, this is hands down, my finest work to date.
I am so incredibly proud to be able to share this with you all. Like I had mentioned in the previous upload, with the post production of the six images you see before me, took nearly three hours on this piece alone.
Now I know it's odd to have a builder/photographer really really really enjoy his own work, but hey, I'm gonna at least pat myself on the back for this one :)
I recently (like two months ago) picked up BrothersFigure's Black Lantern Superman, and wanted to photograph him! Simple as that! I took a day or two to build a spooky graveyard and somehow all of my other Black Lantern's joined in the shoot, so here we are!
Not much to chat about, but if you'd like to see my Nekron or Black Hand figs, go check out my newest Patreon posts! I took some really great shots of Nekron lookin' like a badass, and you're totally missing it right now! Besides the MF's, you can also see the full build, and a bunch of other BTS stuff like lighting and tombstones and junk!
...Plus, a sneak peak at some White Lanterns too ;)
___________________________________________
If you can't get enough of these zombo's, RISE to the occasion! Pateron's got some KILLER stuff It's got earlyRISEing photography, behind the scenes GRAVEYARDS. Plus previews to upcoming projects that are full of LIFE! ...if you get what I mean ;)
...These aren't funny are they? :P
It was a this moment Barry had to build as much momentum as possible, the only way he knew he could. With a smirk, The Flash blasted past Zoom and left him standing there in his dust. Maybe two or three seconds pass before Barry flashed by again, and again, gaining speed with each pass while Eobard caught his bearings, but that would hardly soften the blow. Thawne could hear a faint rupture in the sound barrier as he saw the dust from Barry's wake rise behind him! He was getting closer, faster, Zoom could just now make out the heat-shield in front of The Flash, but it was too late!
“Oh shi--”
Barry's fist met Thawne's jaw quicker than any speedster could respond! It was followed by another punch, and another! Barry shouted as loud as he could, the power of The Speed-Force carried him forward and struck Zoom a final time with the speed of a thousand lightning bolts, emitting an electrical charge that sent Eobard flying backwards, tumbling like a ragdoll almost ten feet from where Barry's boots had come to rest.
Barry panted and wheezed to catch his breath. He did it. The Speed-Force was balanced once more.
--------------------------------------
Justice is served! The final panel will be up tomorrow to conclude the story :)
Not too much to say about this one, just wanted to update my banner since my last banner is over a year old now :P
I've gotten a bunch of feedback over my use of lightning effects in my Flashpoint Images so I've tried my hand at them again. I seem to be improving but I'm trying my best to move away from these partially pasted, partially drawn effects, and go to fully drawn type stuff; I'm working with some other sets right now and trying some other methods that look acceptable to my artistic psyche, so you guys may just see those too at some point :)
Anyway!
Carry on, nothing to see here... :)
AKA Eobard Thawne, the Reverse Flash is the Flash's archnemesis. With similar abilities, but more experience, Thawne has been fighting the Flash for a lifetime.
Part of The Villains We Fear, my BFVA 2018 individual project.
Reverse Flash here looks awesome next to my Flash figure from last year. Their bases are exactly the same height, with similar designs, while Reverse Flash's base is meant to be slightly more futuristic.
I'm proud of how this figure turned out, as I was able to make him less bulky compared to my Flash figure, adding to the athletic look of the characters.
Check out the Beyond the Brick video interview!
Let me know your thoughts on these new characters! More coming soon...

Through the creations that I build, I hope to inspire other young (or perhaps older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity. We all need a positive way to express ourselves, so let's allow LEGO to be an extension of us. Your creativity belongs to you, and nobody can take that away. Build what you want to build, and how you want to build it.
Here's my obligatory updated Christo Bucket Helmet Flash collection because I've been doing this since 2013 and I see no reason to stop since I seem to be one of the few that might have the full collection
Check out Patreon for the review of the Destiny's Hand fig, plus the “updated” Reverse Flash, and some other bonus content! :)

It's been quite a bit of time since we last saw Reverse Flash on my page! Recently I've been reading a lot of Mark Waid's run with The Flash, with Scott Kollins' artwork at the helm. I shot this image some time ago as a lighting test for my Pied Piper photoset, but the testing was going so good that I shot my Reverse Flash in a stop-motion technique just for kicks. Then one thing lead to another and I merged the images together in post-production to get what you see here!
Now I'm a huge fan of Kollins' work with The Flash, and I've been wanting to do some kind of a homage to him for a while now. His work is primarily what sent me down the path to edit the motion effect that I give my speedsters, as well as portraying how his lightning is drawn in thickness, and how the secondary hazy figures repeat themselves. He's an inspiration to my art and I hope that it shows!
Anyway, this image has been sitting on my computer for a while now, so I figured I use it as a scapegoat to talk about comic artist's, and how cool they are :P
PS. Here's a few links to some of Scott's work if you're not totally familiar with him :)

The rip in the Speed-Force grew larger until Barry could just make out the imagery of himself from years before, then next to him, he saw a younger Eobard in distance! It was the moment before they had gotten their speed! But before he could speak, he saw Zoom's kinetic lightning chase down his speed-trail, spark, and pierced the window of Barry's old lab!
Simultaneously The Flash's own lighting shattered through the speed force and struck the computer consuls of Eobard's 25th century lab!
Then almost like being electrocuted, Barry's connection to the Speed-Force surged back into his body!
As the rift closed behind the two speedsters, Zoom began to slow. The scales were balanced. This fight was over!
--------------------------------------
Alright now this has got to be my favorite of the series! It's been a good long while now since I last posted a Barry Allen fig, so I gave him a bit of an update. Plus, I've been wanting to show off my Eobard Thawne Figure for a long time now, and I'd be lying if I said that this figure wasn't the reason behind creating this story arc :P
On a side note I know the figs don't quite match up with the story but I wanted to encompass as much of each character as I could... Like adding their Flash Rings for example :P
Mezco One:12 Collective (2016)
First Appearance: The Flash #139 (September 1963; as Professor Zoom/Reverse-Flash)
With the heat of an Atom Bomb on his heels, Barry ran faster and faster! Picking up speed he reached the coast and ran across the ocean surface, with a continent behind him engulfed in the explosion.
With what seemed like a split second, Allen burst through the time barrier and entered the Speed-Force!
For a moment there was nothing but the kinetic energy surrounding him, before he saw what looked like a Red Blur far in the distance.
Barry had to stop himself from changing the past, creating a Time Paradox. Removing his younger self from the Speed-Force, thus his current self would forever cease to exist!
Only moments after tackling himself, he fell unconscious and vanished into the Speed-Force....
Feeling extremely exhausted, Barry woke slowly from his work desk. He immediately got to his feet and with a smile shouted
"It worked! I'm home!"
--------------------------------------
Now there is a bunch I'd like to bash about DC Comics and the direction of The New 52, but all I've got to say is that Flashpoint was the best, hands down, comic book universe reboot. Like better than Crisis or any of the others. (I might be a bit biased though because I'm obsessed with Flash, but hey)
Anyway, We've come to the end of my biggest Photo Set to date. Consisting of 14+ images and over 8+ hours of production time (The build/Color Correction/Lightning Bolts...ect.) Lots and lots of work basically :P
I'm so incredibly proud of how these came out and I hope you all enjoyed viewing this set as much as I did creating it.
Thank you so much to all of you for the support and kind words and feed back :)
...I'm gonna go lay down for a while *phew*
The next installment in my Bl[]ckies characters: Reverse Flash and the Flash himself!
I have the awesome opportunity to meet Matt Letscher (Reverse Flash/Eobard Thawne) this weekend at a local Comic Con. Really looking forward to meeting my favorite villain speedster! (Matt plays Reverse Flash on the CW.)
Hope you enjoy these guys.

Looks as though Cold's reflexes have gotten better since his last encounter with a speedster.
I wanted to show off some more of the ice gun and what it can do. We got just a glimpse of it last time ( www.flickr.com/photos/thebritishbafoon/12078333064/ ) with a narrow escape from Barry. Shooting in a pitch-black room, I used a small LED to shine through the blast and I ended up with the coolest refracted light effect I've worked with thus far.
It's anyone's fight now, but who will come out on top?
Part's three and four will only tell!
Looks like Zoom isn't too happy about The Captain getting the drop on him.
This chilling fight is neck and neck still, but looks as though Zoom might be making a comeback!
We can only wait and see what happens! Stay tuned tomorrow for Part 4!
Has anyone ever been curious what it would be like for Zoom to go head to head with Captain Cold?
I can say that I was interested in the concept (with the possible concept of a sequel to my Rouges vs Flash series)
Not too much to say with this shot in particular. It was actually the last set-up shot I took, in order to give the set a more rounded feel to it.
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this one, and the others to come :)
Here's the "Alternate Shot" of my Professor Zoom minifig. I tried something a little different with this piece, by taking two similar (but inherently differently lit images) to then overlay in photoshop to give off the affect of a longer shutter speed. To give it a feel of movement without losing the sharpness that I wanted with Thawne's eye's and emblem.
I personally, really enjoy how this one turned out.
So in the end, turns out Zoom still came out on top. With the upper hand of Super-speed-disarming skills of course.
This was such a fun set to shoot! If we're lucky, we might just end up with a few more villain vs villain action *cross our fingers*
So I finally picked up The DC Essentials Flash Figures after almost a year of debating weather I wanted to photograph them or not! :P
There's SEVENTEEN posts over on Patreon talking all about them. Mostly a bunch of super cool shots and other stuff like how I photographed these to figures and how the lighting set-ups were arranged (yes, all these effects were done in camera), there's even a poll that you can vote on for what you think of my Action Figure Photography... yadda yadda
...I'm bad at promoting myself, but you get the idea! Patreon has the perks! :P
Anyway, that's it this week for flickr, but MAN is there a ton of cool things on Patreon right now! :P
I'll return to Lego next week, I promise :P

In addition to Christo's Flash that I've acquired, I also managed to snag myself his own design of one, Eobard Thawne (aka Reverse Flash, aka Professor Zoom) and just like Flash, is an incredible minifig!
I'm still working on ideas for ideas with Thawne (kind of a lame concept, as far as this image goes), but I have another edit from the same set; so in otherwords, we can call this one preliminary for what is to come.
"We have not been properly introduced, Mr. Allen. My name...Is Eobard Thawne...And I am the Reverse Flash."
Tonight's episode was a game changer.
