Awesome, unfortunately this is coming from someone who's primarily a biomocist, but I am a pretty good artist with that being said you should have thought about shading, a vantage point, and horizon.

I'm just surprised you had any light blue bricks left for the mosaic after building the cathedral! Great rendition and congrats on progressing.

Thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed!

All these "paintings" or should i say "Brickings" are truely worty to an Art Gallery. (this is not to offend your sundown/sunrise, in your lighthouse painting. But i think it looks like a explosion) Besides from that, i think your bulldog painting is the best. Specialy compared to the real thing

That cathedral mosaic is stunning.

Hey Heath (yep, editing Ian strikes again, but I think it's due), thank you for helping me to understand your vantage point in regards to the "sneak-attack" aspect (your comment in the thread was enlightening). I doubt I would've considered it in that way if you hadn't said something; I was obviously viewing the situation from a very different angle. I think both views are justifiable, and hope (from the description in my big comment) that you can understand why I reacted the way I did. Once again, congrats on the win and good luck in the rounds to come.

Congrats on getting through mate, I know you had time concerns so i'm pleased you submitted a good entry. I thought from the main picture it was apparent that the cathedral was your 'proper' entry and everything else was practice/ progression up to that point but I can see from comments some people have interpreted it differently. Sorry your success is being mired by this but well done and good luck for next round.

In reading over the comments, I thought it was really interesting what you did, not only your "deception" but also Ian's apparent over-confidence. I won't voice my thoughts either way, but I will say congrats on getting through.

Well done! Good luck mate!

Well you can thank The Fates you didn’t stop at that first Egyptian one! You got my vote, the dog and the vampire one were really cool!

Hey, I know a Dude who made that cathedral in 3D last year and it was aweso...wait, what?

Really great builds, and, while I am judging the best one, I'm also looking at the others. The one thing that your opponent's mosaic has that yours do not is a good appearance of depth through shading. My vote goes to Ian.

Ok, that cathedral is awesome!

The cathedral mosaic is amazing!

Very fine work indeed !>>....well done

Wow. Very impressive! The lighthouse is a personal favorite! -LB Senior

It's the superimposed studful egyptian mosaic over the proportionate blend of light and dark bley background ... huh, that's a table and a wall?!?!? Fooled me. XD. All them mosaics rock!

well played! u have my vote!

Heath, Rope-a-dope FTW! ~Dave

excellent designs!

You think he's cute here, you should see him in person .....he's a hottie! He must get it from his owner. ;)

Lol, I thought you were actually submitting walk like an egyptian there :P I guess I should have seen this coming, you'd have to be preeeety busy to only be able to churn that out. Anyway, nice mosaics, that one of lord vampyre turned out really great!

I can definitely see the improvement. That cathedral is great.

The cathedral mosaic looks wonderful, as do the others. I like the variety of subjects too :)

Lots of mosaics here! I prefer the vampyre, egyptian and dog. Great work all around! If I may say, i find the upper section of the cathedral a bit "flat" (no pun, talking about perspective). Anyway, best of luck to you!

now that's a neat entry, hahahah, I really thought you were going to go with that walk like an Egyptian, lol...

The lighthouse is pure win! Eat that, Chris! LMAO!!! Best of luck, my brother, though I think you nailed it with the cathedral!~H

Why you seaky, booze-swillin' bilge rat of a pirate! Here you got me thinking you threw in the towel to pull off a whole gallery of mosaic artwork. I should of known. Never underestimate a member of the Hard Knocks Gang. Tally ho!

Okay, now that I'm done moping--you really got my hopes up with that first entry--I'll try and leave a half decent comment. ;) Some great mosaics here Heath, you really took everyone by surprise! The 3D appearance of the cathedral is just stunning. Heh, I also considered "mosaicafying" one of my own MOCs, but it wouldn't have been half as cool as this! I'm really liking the cartoony vampire too. What fun! It's also been a riot having a rematch! Of course it'd be pleasant to win (even the score a bit), but I won't be surprised if you pull through again. :) Whatever the outcome, it's been an honor! Hehe, seems Thoy enjoyed it too. What can I say? My over-earnestness is quite laughable. ;) Well, good luck mate (not that you'll really need it). You do them pirates proud! ;)

Now that's a lot more like it! Good luck.

Nice work there Heath! Your family has a lot of treasures too! And, I really think the top of that lighthouse looks like the Point Loma's! Cheers and best of luck! :)

Glad I came back! Some great examples of art here, Chief! You know, I'd have to say I like the lighthouse the most. You created a nice sense of depth, which I suppose is the real trick to these things. Good luck!

Wow! After everything you've said, I didn't expect so many things! Everything is very nice! I particulary love the dog... Maybe because he is a very nice model!=) Best of luck with your judges! Ps: I've got an AFOL who is still in the race... Can you find who he is? You've some clues on my page... =)

Meh, the others are okay. My vote is still for that Egyptian one. XD

I mean pink tongue.

Yay you did the cathedral! Its awesome and if you keep it made up and hang it on the wall it will be a nice keepsake of that project since it is now no longer. Lots of great stuff here Heath, the dog is cute, I love its pink nose. Good luck!

LOL maybe they'll just judge the best one. ;) If there's an issue, they know where to find me.

:) :) :)

LMAO!!!! HAHAHAHA!!! And I only wrote it as a joke!!! Heath you are a LEG END (bad pirate pun). I've just been having a serious little chuckle to myself at work about Ians comments in the MO group Hahahaha!!! This just made my day!

wow awsum egypt1on on a plate! i w4nt instruktzions, LOLz!

Am I the only one who noticed Heath hasn't added it to group yet? I love a good conspiracy, maybe this is a hoax, and later Heath will upload his real build. The link on Ians entry would be deemed incorrect and as such Ian would be DQed LOL! This is a great little build mate, we all know the feeling of defeat when time just doesn't go our way so I can really feel for ya there. Good luck and I hope for our R5 match that my little theory is true ;) ~Thoy

If the MOCies were taking place this year, I now know what would win MOC of the year..... ;)

You have time for Lego Land Cali, but not 97 rounds of the Moc Olympics? Put down that "Keystone Light" and get your priorities straight broseph! Z

If only he had a bottle of wine in his hand you could of called it "Drink Like an Egyptian!" Best of luck my friend and believe you me I know all too well when life just won't get the "F" out of the way!

Simple & fun building! I now have the Bangles' song going round in my head :)

Wow, this is simply stunning.

Genius never sleeps... except when real life gets in the way! Good luck, anyway.

Ian doesn't stand a chance! Your design is both beautiful and thought provoking. It really makes you pounder the inner workings of the design and how much thought went in to putting so much detail into this work. It is WUNDERBAR!

I have never been so moved by a MOC since I first saw Mi awsum HALO page!!!!!

best ever!

More photos please.

I love that touch of Egyptian yellow! :)

Heath, Ian is sitting next to me right now (he will comment later). Your humor had us both on the floor. Clever way to approach the situation!

Instructions please! :)

Compelling!

You sir, are my idol. I foresee that Ian will face another loss this year, and you may well win the whole MocOlympics. In all serious, too bad you didn't have time to get anything big done, but this is rather neat.

Better than what I can do. :)

I absolutely adore this minimalist approach. More with less, that's the key.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Thank you.
