YES, THIS IS LEGO. After my LDD design of a Sonic sprite, I felt obligated to challenge myself even more. I decided to construct the sprite with reality LEGO bricks. I do know that I'm missing orange-like coloured bricks, but I barely have some of those so I may reconstruct is in the future.
About this creation
Just for people who don't know, here's proof that this is from my LEGO collection.
The other side.
Fourth Roof Commentary
Like I had stated before, I wanted a challenge. Something that was pretty difficult but still possible with a few tricks (no strings, of course). Something that Mike Bonar did with his Shadow the Hedgehog LEGO Sprite. The tricks and bricks I used for creating this are hard to mention, so I think you should figure it out for yourself!

Hey awesome sonic creation how'd you make it?
I printed a full sprite of Sonic online and took the bricks I needed and built it like you would a tower. Some areas require a bit of "cheating", making the other side look a bit weird in some areas.
Fantastic job! I love how with mosaics, the farther away you stand, the more realistic the image looks, perfect job. I've never been good at these kinds of things, it must have taken a lot of pre-planning.
