This unbelievable bit of geek art is purportedly the largest LEGO block statue of Mario ever created. It sure looks like it to me. And it’s definitely WAY bigger than this one.
The mammoth LEGO Mario was created by Dirk VH, and is made up of over 40,000 individually placed bricks. All in all, Mario…

It looks like there are Big Daddies for all sorts of BioShock fans: cobbled-together Big Daddies, beaded Big Daddies, and even edible Big Daddies (which look great, despite the appetite-killing mental image), and now? A sculpted version. Just keeping things fresh.
Nice work in clay here, with a lot of great detail there on Big Daddy’s head.…

A brave soul could come up with piles and piles of adjectives to lay upon the Halo franchise, but “cute” usually isn’t one that comes up (unless you’re talking about playing with the Grunt Birthday Party skull on). However, when you’re talking about clay Halo figures, “cute” is about all I can throw down, and that…

I can’t imagine how much time it took to build this intricate life-size LEGO Halo sculpture.
LEGOholic dm_meister based this LEGO block sculpture on the sociopathic Sarge from the Halo Red vs. Blue machinima series. He says that if he were to build the rest of this Spartan’s body, he’d stand over 6-foot 5-inches tall.…

An asymmetrical slice of awesome, Studio FRST’s 16943 concept TV accommodates media in the standard 4:3 aspect ratio as well as in the 16:9 widescreen format, hence the name.
Studio FRST also exalts its creation as “A technological sculpture in levitation. Between opacity and transparency.” So it’s a flying colloid?
The TV’s built-in player only…

It’s hard to describe Andrew Chase’s mechanical animal sculptures without gushing all over the screen. From the sparkling eyes to the elegant gears to the thin, overlapping plates, each individual piece is more breathtaking than the one before.
But these animals don’t just look good–they are fully automated. Those gears aren’t just for show!

deviantARTist Tsurera is all about geek-inspired sculpture; a peek at her gallery reveals recreations of Nintendo and comic characters, among other things, but this rendering of a level in Super Mario World is among the most impressive of her projects.
The detail is spectacular, especially when you look at the whole thing, for the grand effect:…

We’re still months away from BioShock 2, but you’d never know it from the projects that have been cropping up in relation to the sequel. And while the Big Sister isn’t nearly as cute as the Big Daddy doll we’ve seen (which produces automatic “awws”), it’s still an incredible figure!
Looks pretty detailed, eh? Lots…

According to Yllas, the artist who created these robot sculptures from old electronic parts, camera lenses, and other surplus junque – she was planning on building an evil robot. Instead she ended up with this guy, the Not So Evil Found Object Assemblage Bot. He’s available over at the Nutzen Bolts Works shop over on…

I love this little Mario Kart sculpture made out of coins, binder clips, wire, and other found office supplies. From the creative mind of Donald Kennedy (aka Kody Koala).
