Lego is about creativity.  Imagination.  Thinking outside the block.

All of the creations in this gallery were made by the very talented Djokson. http://djokson.deviantart.com/

His ability to use unorthodox Lego pieces, most notably Bionicle, Technic Hockey, Hero Factory, Galidor, and other pieces you don't normally see in custom creations is stunning. He brings to life goofy and scary creations using pieces most would never even consider using. In this gallery I will try to point out clever designs of note in some of his works.

Bionicle, Hero Factory, and especially Galidor are all lines a lot of folks consider "un-Lego" because they stray from the standard brick styling. But Djokson shows that if you use a little ingenuity, not only can they be used to great effect that would be difficult or impossible with standard bricks, but also can be combined with normal bricks thanks to Lego's all-encompassing mathematical design to create even more intricate and elaborate creations.

If you view this gallery and enjoyed Lego in the past, hopefully it will inspire you to try it again. I found that as an adult now that I've gotten back into the building game, I'm able to engineer things with Lego I never could have fathomed as a kid. And if you enjoy his works, please check out his deviantart for many more of his creations!

One such creative use of parts is the above fish's eyelids, which are made from Throwbot visors. Those pieces have no actual connecting ability outside of the Throwbot heads, so using them in a creation is quite difficult.

Here, he combined a golden satellite dish with a small black disk, and a golden stud to create an imposing flying eyeball.

Donald Duck uses an old Bionicle shoulderpad to achieve the rounded duck torso of the classic character, with a clever use of studs sticking through the small holes of the shoulderpad to fit his legs through. He also uses a red horn piece to create the tongue.

I did a double take when I saw this one, where he used the rubbery Kraata piece from Bionicle to create the flopping ears of this magician rabbit. Kraata are notorious for being unwieldy and hard to use in custom creations(also called My Own Creations, or MOCs), both due to only having a single point of connection and also due to the rubbery material.

This one is brilliant. The king's face is comprised of two lion heads from the Legends of Chima line, giving him a wrinkled, wizened look. The red of his cloak is made of technic paneling from various large-scale technic cars, and the white hem of the cloak is made of tentacle/dinosaur tail tip pieces.

Standard bricks make up the face, while Hero Factory shoulderpads of varying colors make up the hair. The skirt is made of sloped pieces with teeth bits for the white frill.

one of the more human designs of his, this uses a lot of hero factory armor pieces to keep the body fleshed out, a bionicle mask with horns sticking through the eyes for the head, and a very creative use of a relatively obscure piece for the sword; a transparent pink door piece. The heart piece is from the Clikits line, which was designed for girls to make buildable jewelry.

One of many figures that, while not necessarily super creative in design, is simply all-around well made with a creative head design and an imposing stance. Also one that uses the clever idea of removing the lever from one of the old lever pieces from the 80's and using the slotted part as eyes, it gives monster-esque creations a good look.

one of his nicest works, perfectly blending hero factory, bionicle, and standard lego to create an expression character. His beard is made of a crystalline bionicle piece, a really clever design.

A reimagining of one of the Bohrok-Kal by him. Incorporates the head-shield piece while improving on the size and detail of it.

I love this one for how expressive and perfectly mad scientist-ey it is. It uses tires for the ankle bits, rocket cones to give that cartoony exaggerated rubber glove look, and a transparent magenta boulder piece as the exposed brain. The huge eyebrows are Bionicle claws.

A simple but elegant creation that very smartly uses technic pins and discs to create the top of the bacteriophage.

uses a lot of unique pieces to create the facial structure including orange fang bits and an orange bionicle mask for the beard, propeller plane engines for the flared coat wrists, and even the gun is a Lego product, from the Duplo line.

A wonderfully expressive critter using dragon tails for the arms and tail, and dragon wings for the ears. Really cute!

Magnifying glasses make for really poignant lenses on this gas mask.

Yoda's wrinkled face is made of a flipper. The rounded top of his head is a bionicle mask, and his ears are green Kraata. A really clever design while keeping the parts count relatively low.

The head and face on this guy blew me away. At first I thought it was some single-piece thing from a Bionicle set but it's actually made up of a bunch of various claw and talon pieces, small wings from Chima, and eyeball orbs from technic. Might be my favorite use of parts in any of his works!

such a creepy slug-bug thing, using layered chitin pieces from Bionicle I believe to create a vibrant exoskeleton for it, tentacle-tails for the antennae, and pieces I don't recognize for the eyes.

I love this cartoony road hog. A huge variety of different series pieces was used to make this spanning from old 80's technic to newer bionicle and hero factory parts. Love it. The flared jacket wrists being tires and the roborider disc with chain links for the front wheel are inspired.

This is a pretty goofy Goofy.

Gutsman? I love his one huge fist and chisel-hand and the way it really managed to capture the flannel look of the shirt somehow.

An impressive anime-style character with swords for hair(and a bionicle mask at the top of the head), and those chitin bits for a skirt.

This dude is rockin', and his goblin-waluigi look for a face is really well designed, using talon pieces to give his look a sinister vibe.

this guy creeps me out, but has some amazing style to it. a chitin piece for the tongue, and Hero Factory icons for teeth is something else.

A gross witch with technic tubes for hair and a neon orange bush for the tuft on the end of her broom.

this one is another extremely clever improvisation, using an old native american lego tent piece for the skirt, and the designs on the tent even add to the detailing for the overall figure!

This guy is made of a lot of hero factory, dinosaur pieces, and bionicle. The arms, legs, feet, and eats are all from dinosaurs, while the black bits are largely hero factory. The nose is another Kraata, and the eye sockets are dinosaur heads. Love it.

I hope you enjoyed this gallery, and maybe gained inspiration from it to make something of your own!

Can check "find someone way more talented than me on the Internet," off the daily to do list now. Amazing works

Try telling that to the kids at the Lego events I offer at the library. Legos are about making spaceships, guns, & spaceships with guns

These are amazing. The use of the pieces is insane. Very much want that pirate one. Does he disclose his instructions?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You could try asking him on his deviantart, but I don't know if he necessarily uses instructions.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yeah I made an account to check out his stuff and comment. I can't imagine he does but maybe has vague guidelines you can't get from a pic

The BIGGEST part of making things with Lego though is having the right assortment of parts. Also I made some stuff: /a/y2gNd

I love the amount of detail in your vehicles! Is the suspension torsion bar or rubber band?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Neither, just free-movement. Dont have the parts/materials to make it actually work all springylike. Also too light for it as well

I actually really enjoyed Spore, so it's a compliment. Some people created some really awesome stuff in it.

Technically, you can buy them! You just need to buy the pieces and ask the guy how he built them. :V

It does, but sites like Bricklink.com for specific parts or simply grabbing big lots on Ebay can quickly and efficiently expand a collection

I want like 65% of these to be playable characters in video games. I miss Lego now. When did I become an adult? Help.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That's the beauty of it. Being an adult means you're able to better engineer crazy stuff using lego since at their core lego are just tools.
