Congrats on MOTD! Man, this seems like such a long time ago, eh?

Congrats for your awesomness!! The frost is truly a good design with the frost. The figure wasn't completely accurate, but the hair was good. Overall, five stars!!

Congrats on MOTD, Leda! :)

Amazing! This is simply amazing! I love the frost best of all! Congrats on a well deserved MOTD!!!

Cool MOTD!

Congrats on another MOTD!

Wait, the MO started already!? I wanted to join!Nice build! -Brick Boy

Great Atmosphere!

Excellent work Leda, this is.... Stunning. I love it!

I'm going through the M.O. entries again, and I'm still awed by the beauty of this MOC. Well done, the parts use compliments your lighting perfectly.

this is so cool

OMG this is beautiful... You're an artist!

I gave you your 100th "I like it" You totally deserve it, good luck in the second round.

Thanks Bart. I actually was quite proud of this little moc, thanks for seeing beyond its simplicity... the second round however... mmm, bit tougher. Think I now have a bit of a "simplicity" complex.

Leda, Leda, Leda...Whoever said this was simple, doesn't know Jack! I've been waiting to say that for awhile now. Anyway, as I said elsewhere, what people need to realize is how this little vig creates a big emotional impact through color and action. Congrats, and good luck in the next round!

Can't wait to see your round 2 entry... :)

Thank you very much... As to all the conversation, I hope certain people come look at Dave Kaleta's critique so they can see how it is done. There is such a difference between constructive criticism and out and out rudeness. Some people need to sit back and learn from those who have come before. Best of luck to all who made it to round two!

Ah yes! I can totally see that now, you are right. That tree could have been beautiful, a delicate icicle creation, lots of fine parts... Thanks for that. I need to slow down next round... stand back from my build for a day or two and let it wash over me what I can do to improve.

Hi :). Well this moc has caused quite a storm (an ice storm ;). I think I made my thoughts on it very clear below. I really hope I dont meet you in the next round but good luck for the rest of the contest. I have a feeling your creative and well built mocs will do very well.

Millie, Excellent idea, executed and presented well. The techniques were well utilized. The only area I felt was lacking was your tree build; not delicate enough for the size it was meant to represent. Thank you for sharing your take on the categories. ~Dave

It was a jaw-dropping experience when I first saw your MOC and it had a similar effect on me the second time, the third time ... This MOC is built from bricks AND light, as far as I'm concernt, a wonderful piece of art.

...Sorry. Stunning! (Not stunning?). Haha there is no question of its stunning stunningness. Ok I've written stunning too many times now. Ps this is stunning ;).

Congrats :) and thanks for your comment on my entry. I could have sworn I commented on this - one of my favourite entries, but I can't find my comment below. Stunning? and the lighting on the ice is beautiful.

Likewise!

Yeah thats right! Way to go mate! Now I just need to pray I'm not in a knockout with you... Well atleast until R7 anyway hehe.

interesting

You received a score of 47.33. Congratulations, you have made the top 64! Your will receive your opponent and category on Wednesday, September 21st. Good luck!

The lighting is so darn awesome.

Simply and outstanding and beautiful build. It looks like it could be a part of the classic stop motion Christmas specials like Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer I loved so much as a kid. if you don't make it to round 2 it will be a travesty.

Awesome lighting effects! That's oniric!

this is so cool i whee simply frozen....okay enough with that, really great idea and fantastic way to make this at, i love the technic and the light, perfect

This is sooo hot...or rather cold. Anyway, this is a brilliant build. I love the ice work and the lighting really shows it off nice. The Jack Frost Minifig is perfect. Love it!

Congratulation Leda, Jack frost is a great idea, fantastically well done. Good Luck

I agree...this is simple -- Simply F'in gorgeous! That hair is perfect, and the ice shooting out of his hands is awesome! Great job my dear!

Whoah, icy! I see the competition is heating up. And so are the comments *lol*. Brilliant lighting btw.

Excellent work! Love that light!

WOOW beautiful !! the lights !!! rhaaa the lights !!!

Light fantastic, very dramatic, great build

CHILLING!!! :)

This is awesome! The lighting is great! You used those clear bricks awesomely. The only thing I don't like about it, is the fact that there's no ice around Jack Frost, which is where I thought there'd be the MOST ice, rather than no ice at all. On the other hand, if you had built up the bricks in front of Jack, it would've looked weird. Oh well. Either way, it's STILL an awesome build. See you in round 2.

Brrr! We've all been there vis a vis the drunk on the bench.

Great job

very inspiring!

Great photography, it captures the scene very well!

Man, he just won't stop will he? Thankfully he's gone now. I hope you didn't take his criticising to heart, Leda.

I don't understand why I'm not allowed to have an opinion on this Mr. Bones, just because I don't have a bunch of models posted? Thats like me saying you can't have an opinion on movies because you're not a director. So I thought the model was simple, so what? I didn't know it was positive reviews only on MOCpages....but apparently when you don't agree with the crowd you get called names like "mor onic". Thanks for the warm welcome Mr. Bones. You're pretty awesome.

The colors really go well together, especially illuminated by the intense , white light.A simple build, But turned into a spectacle to behold,due to the many dimensions of trans-dark blue pieces accompanied with the light-blue bricks giving it extra depth and color.

I agree with Deus. For someone of your reputation as a great builder, this seems a little simple. I really like your Jack Frost minifig though, the hair is perfect! Maybe you know you'll get through this round easy, so you're holding back for round 2. Good luck in the contest!

Thanks everyone for all your encouraging comments. Sorry some real life stuff has meant that I've been away from the pages for quite some time now, but its great to get such a warm welcome back. I wish all who are competing in this contest the best of luck :)

Just because there's moc that is too simple for other builder's taste, it doesn't make it boring or uninteresting. It's the creativity and idea that counts. Sure, there could be a highly detailed moc that stands out. But if it has no inspiration or thought to it, then it is worthless. This creation here is brilliant.

this is simply amazing you made jack exactly as i picture him and the ice is awesome

I think it's harsh to criticize something because it looks simple - I'd call it strikingly elegant. This is my favourite of all the entries so far.

Not to mention the chap who posted that has zero creations. I expect mor onic talk from that Dues kid, but from someone who has no creations? Anyway folks, putting this together took her time, and something a lot of builders do not have...imagination. The lighting and presentation alone makes this moc most excellent!

Reputation as a great builder? ...I didn't know I had that reputation... have you seen my mocs? Maybe its not clear in the photos but I actually found this to be quite a challenging little moc. Just because something is small doesn't mean it is simple. Perhaps I got carried away with the lighting of this and forgot to focus on showing you the actual design details and techniques I used to create the many layers of ice.

Thank you, but I must say that actually there is not one trans blue piece in the entire build. It is all clear pieces. The blue glow is created by the light blue background.

Beautiful!

Stunning !.....

LOVE IT ITS IS SO EPICS!

It's a work of art!

This is excellent! I love the frost effect. Great work! :)

Nice job mate! I love how delicate it looks in the lit-up shots; it actually masks the sturdy construction at the top really well. Lovely set-up. Good luck!

I use a small flashlight outside frame aimed at the lamp.

Very very nice! I love the lighting shots.

Wow, great job Leda!

Wow, nice! I like the swirls!

nice! the way the frost comes out of his hands and swirls is awesome!

Wow. Very nice! You've reminded me that it doesn't have to be too big, thanks. :)

Great frost spirals going here. I always wish I could get more of those trans white pieces though. What really caught my eye on this was the lighting. What did you use to make the street lamp shine?

amazing! briliant design!

cool I did the same thing with the trans 1x2's at brick fiesta LOL. love the use of the mime head. I am doing the winter theme too. but mine is not as happy as this.love that drunk guy LOL.

Ha ha! the Kat returns! The lighting in this Moc is fantastic! Every detail is in place, including the Drunkard, LOL!

truly a beautiful build. I wish you all the best in m.O.

The tree (which I think looks a bit like broccoli)is just a beat below the roof however the lamppost does attach to the roof to give it that extra support so it doesn't slump. Cheers Yuri, that is cool! He was definitely an inspiration, as was Martin Short's performance in Santa Clause 3. Ah yes. You have found my weakness. I always post too many pictures. You should see how many I actually take! It is a selfish reason, I like to have lots of reference of my mocs because in a few days, when the build is gone I don't want to forget what every aspect of it looked like. But I figure, you don't have to look at them all. I try to get a few main ones in at the start and then if the viewer looses interest then they are not handcuffed and held at knife point to keep looking at them all.

Jack Frost will be nipping at my nose soon enough, thank you. No need of you to remind me of how much I HATE WINTER! This model, however, I really love. Lots of energy created with the swirling trans coldy stuff, and fig choice and placement is spot on. The tree is a great touch (was it also a structural necessity? if so, fantastico!).

Woah! Nice entry!

Amazing! In my opinion, the best one yet! Thanks for your nice comment on mine! Good luck! Greets, Jelle

Perfect MOC, for a moment I thought you used the joker's face but the mime is the perfect face for this.~Marty

I love the lighting of it! 5/5

Spectacular!

At first I thought you meant Frozone from Pixar's Incredibles! Excellent MOC and superb lighting, Lady Leda! Good luck with your judges!

Really nice work Leda! Spot on for winter, the ice spray is wonderful and the details are great, loving the hobo.

Excellent entry, and good to see you're competing! :)

*Shivers*

Nice interpretation. The lighting is really quite stunning. Excellent work.

Hahaha, as I was looking at this I thought, 'she must have gotten a bunch of trans 1x2's recently'. Beautifully executed.~H

I like how you didn't show his face on the first few pictures. Great MOC!

Very nice!

Very nice, good to see a MOC from you again, Leda!

Very nice! Lovely lighting.

Wow, I don't see anything from you for a while then BAM: you post this intricate little build! You totally achieved the look of an icy morning and a crazy ice storm in one. The lighting effect is a stroke of genious. Good luck in the MO (not that you'll need it).

It's clever, light-up and warm (as in feeling), but basicaly pretty simple.

Wow, I didn't realize you were in the MO! Nice! This should be another fun contest for the both of us. Best of luck on a great entry.

Nice, this will definitely reach round 2!

Totally insane! I'm loving it. At first I thought it was Mr. Freeze.

Simply beautiful! The lighting makes for some impressive effects!

Oh, look what I found http://www.fodey.com/generators/movie/clapper_board.asp you could surely use that on your home page, seen your passion for cinema.

Jack Frost attacks a zombie! But he ducks!

Very good job :) Really nice idea and great use of lighting/pieces. The only thing I can see wrong is there are a few too many photos ;)

this is why Tfol/yfols never win

As always, your work with trans parts and lighting is great. >Erc

This is awesome. Nice work.

Nicely done, I wasn't expecting to see the mime's face on that frost :P

awesome!!!! love the spirals...
