An encounter with a Cyclopean Virtue
About this creation
“Oh Cyclopean Virtue, thy shriek of madness shatters the minds of all. Thou wait patiently, silently, deathly...”
‘Twas bleak December, silent and somber,
His ride broken, on a road unspoken.
That cursed new model, so soon busted idle,
In a place so weary, on a day so dreary.
How was he to travel, to his home live and revel,
When one’s left alone, in somewhere so unknown?
T’was a junkyard he saw,
With old parts strewed in raw.
Perhaps he can fix that car after all;
There must be a tool in those mounds so tall.
Through a nick in the railing, he crossed the opening,
Past the threshold of humanity, into the pit of insanity.
There laid the horror, awaiting the explorer.
Disguised in curious beauty, nonchalant without duty.
“Magnificent art!” he did so impart,
“So deranged, yet with symmetry all arranged!”
And then upon approach the husk spawned to life,
With a great cyclopean eye riled red with strife.
Those limbs raised coldly, like executioners armed.
In a shriek of madness death mercilessly swarmed.
We now know that ‘twas no artist’s statue,
None but the deadly Cyclopean Virtue.

Did I mention before how awesome the Vintage 2007 Classic Acura Sports Car (or whatever it's called) is? By the way, I saw it featured in a zombie apocalypse diorama, and it fitted in perfectly (it was next to two guys with a box of 'dangerous materials'). Anyway, great job on the poem, 5/5! And please build more vehicles! |

Awesome creation Nannan! I have seen this one numerous times while searching for cool MOCs, and loved it! It so much deserves the MOC of the day trophy! Perfect execution accompanied by very cool poetry! I love the dark amibiance, too. You could make an entire storyline taking place in post-apocalyptic badlands like this one here. Great, great, great work! Steffen |

Simply awe-inspiring. The poem is beauty, and the build is true art; nothing less than outstanding, Nannan. The Cyclopean Virtue is one horrifying creature, even in LEGO! Yours brickly, Nick ("ElNickre") |

Man, if you come up with this in your dreams, they must surely be kinda anguish huh?
Anyways, extremely detailed, and, as always, a 5/5 for gory detail, garbage mountain, car and sleeping beauty! |

When I look at this Vig, I cant help but receive a vivid perception of reality in a bleak and distorted future, where the land is polluted and the earth is colorless. |

Now the man deserves to be shot anyways for driving such a lovely vehicle in December, but did the poor car have to suffer too? I am left to assume from the last frame that the car has been parted out to add to 21381's habitat. The loss of the car is truly the sad part - *sigh*. As for the poem - it is very nice. I will leave interpretations of the poem for those that are smarter than I. Lee. |
