Brilliant! Spotlighted.
Your models really seem to make the bricks come alive. And it's such a
refreshingly different style from the rest of us.
I've been buying these "creator" sets that build dinosaurs and other beasts, but
just for the parts really (though of course, I do build to the instructions at
least once before sorting the parts into my collection). I've never tried
building a MOC in that vein. But your work is inspiring me to give it a try...
wish me luck!

Hi Megan,
My wife likes your stuffs. Shes not an AFOL so I cant really add constructive
feedback to this comment :-(.
I cant say I really enjoy (I prefer the aesthetic of technical stuffs than
biological) but as William says, thats a refreshingly different style - maybe
the use of not so usual parts (clikits flowers) and colors (pink !). Differences
are welcome.
Podagon ? Who has coined this term ? A new one from X-pod and dragon ? Are
there rules one have to follow to make a podagon as for vignettes ?

Yes, indeed - spotlit.
Phergy is very cute - even if she has her special character and personality.
And she should give some boy groups a try. They are
not as healthy as a knight, but maybe more spicy.

Love em! I checked out the rest of your Brickshelf, and I have to say that
Smergle and the Nautalus are my favorite (I was almost a marine biologist...).
Keep up the good work! -Josh

Thank you William, I do try and bring as much life to the LEGO bricks that I
can-I think it has to do w/ my background in animation- I also like to build
things/creatures that I have always enjoyed from nature-sometimes from my head
as well.

I totally dig the Creator sets too!!! Yes, the pieces rock! Good luck w/ your
creature venture!

I came up with the term PODAGONS -yes xpod-dragons-
I guess as far as rules go-
The body must be an X-pod-and the head should not be larger then the pod.
The pod should always be able to be opened or the lid off to show what they have
inside thier belly. Keep them fun-and they are always hungery-so make sure thier
pod is full of LEGO tid-bits.
It will be neat to see what you come up with-let me know!

Thanks Josh, Im glad you like my work! Smergle is one of my favs. too. The
Nautalus was the 1st serrious MOC I built. He was quite a challange-Im so
ammazed by what lives in the sea-it is a diff. world. Thats cool you were
almost a marine biologist! I know a few of em in California. Funny-they are all
into surfing-

This must be a True Megan , was my first thought when I saw this creatures. I
have seen some of your creatures in real, and I like them because they are so
really unique. I hope to see this ones in real too.

Fantastic! I like the way youve given her some personality. Wonderful model.
The crown is priceless.

Ive also been expirementing with teeth-NASHER will get ya!

Nice organic feel. You really have a wonderfully creative and original style.
Im getting a bit jealous of your color usage. I just never seem to do well in
that catagory. Your parts useage is great as well. I dont think Ill ever cease
to be amazed at new uses builders come up with.

Its very nice of you to say that- I always strive to get shape/form right-so
the mocs look like they would if they were real. Well I really dig the modern
colors LEGO has now-not just primary ones-it gives me a lot of choices!

:-) the rules description is fun (cute not being the right word when talking
about hungry dragons :D) in itself.
