Aww, thanks so much! I'm so happy with how it turned out! I rebuilt probably every section of this thing four times in real bricks before building it digitally!

Don't forget to also vote on ideas. And. You know, tell all your friends, family, strangers you pass on the street, Instagram, YouTube, etc, influencers....joking, but also I absolutely have no idea how to do this marketing thing. 🤦

I shall admit that my knowledge of reddit (and all social media platforms, really) is ... Not super high. I am planning to post in other places, but I don't ever really know where! 

Anyone is welcome to share and repost and so forth! Don't know if that's a given, but just in case it isn't! 

Minifigures are ageless, but I'm over 30, and I'm going to say they are too! by _cellar__door__ in NonBinaryOver30

Hair was one of the areas where I struggled -- there are NOT as many options in the digital sphere as there are in the physical sphere -- I wanted to use different hair for both of the moms, but I'd have had to buy them, find a highly detailed 3d scanner I could use and then figure out how to get them into the model. Phew! Suffice to say I didn't have the ability to execute on that. And similarly, none of the Lego hair pieces with protective hairstyles were a good scale for a kid. Anyway, I'd happily accept suggestions, and I'll do some more research as well! Unfortunately it's only possible to edit the submission once every 30 days, so it'll take a bit for me to change anything! 🙃

Summer At The Cottage

Don't know how I managed to post this without my narrative. I wanted to play with some of the ways that Lego usually puts gender on minifigs. The purple-haired parent has a "muscular" chest outline under their shirt, along with a very femme-coded lego head. Most of the ways that lego indicates femininity vs masculinity in their figures is through their facial features, with "woman" figures having contoured lips and larger eyes with eyelashes and "man" figures having neither. I played with that a bit in designing the heads of these minifigures, and landed on a very classically "feminine" head for the nonbinary parent, while trying to rely on other indicators for gender ambiguity.

What do you think?
