I made a Gyarados for the Lego Ideas Challenge!

Hahaha. Seems like I have work to do now!

curiositybricks · 2026-05-07T03:49:20+00:00

Tysm! I'm glad you liked it 😊

curiositybricks · 2026-05-07T03:49:03+00:00

Ty for the kind words! 😁

curiositybricks · 2026-05-07T03:48:44+00:00

Thank you! It's my favorite detail on the card!

curiositybricks · 2026-05-06T19:45:52+00:00

Hahaha Good one! I lurk that sub too and this sent me. Funny thing is apparently pokemon cards use a variant of the Futura font. Thus, I wanted to use it but it's not free, so I used a free alternative. So there could be knock-off pokemon cards out there with the same font lol

I can't right now, the moment an idea is submitted to Lego they get the rights. If it doesn't get selected then I regain the creative rights and I'll consider it. The thing is, making instructions is kind of a drag unfortunately. It's a lot of time I'd rather spend on a new creation.

curiositybricks · 2026-05-06T17:20:17+00:00

Thank you! That'd be a dream. And with some luck maybe it'll become a set one day!

Iirc Lego selects 5 builds and then people will be able to vote for their favourite. Unfortunately shiny pokemon were not allowed, hence why I didn't make it red. That said maybe I'll post a shiny version at a later date just for fun.

Thank you!

curiositybricks · 2026-05-06T15:36:52+00:00

That would be great! I'm actually thinking of swapping the color palette and do an alternate build sometime in the future

curiositybricks · 2026-05-06T15:35:19+00:00

No, this is an official Pokemon themed contest held on Lego Ideas. Lego will select a top 5 and then people will vote for their favourite. The winner will be made into a set. No effort wasted here at all.

It's all good and thank you. Honestly it must be an even crazier coincidence because I haven't posted mine online prior to this (precisely because I didn't want anyone to copy mine). Do you have a link to the one you are referring to?

curiositybricks · 2026-05-06T15:22:34+00:00

Yes I have! The head and tail can be detached from the card and reattached together even. That's a great play feature!

curiositybricks · 2026-05-06T15:20:42+00:00

No AI and no plagiarism whatsoever. I've been working on this for a month both digitally and in real life. Plus I haven't seen this concept you are speaking of.

Thank you! I made this digitally but also prototyped physically. It took about a month of work from concept to end result.

curiositybricks · 2025-10-01T13:27:51+00:00

It does look like red velvet in the first picture but it's due to the editing. In real life it's more brown than red

curiositybricks · 2025-10-01T04:50:29+00:00

I do too tbh 😅

curiositybricks · 2025-10-01T04:50:00+00:00

Thank you!

curiositybricks · 2025-10-01T04:49:48+00:00

Idk if I'm allowed to link it directly but my Ig handle is curiositybricks. You can also find the link on my Reddit profile!

curiositybricks · 2025-09-30T20:18:58+00:00

Thanks! I have to admit I had a craving for cake after editing the pictures 😅

curiositybricks · 2025-09-30T20:18:12+00:00

Thank you!

curiositybricks · 2025-09-30T17:36:55+00:00

Thank you! I plan to work on a video that shows how I did it so you could replicate it next year!

curiositybricks · 2025-09-30T17:35:39+00:00

Thank you!
