Revealing the next Lego Marvel Superheroes videogame art... Elektra!

This is my visualisation of Elektra, wielding her dual curvy daggers. I have no idea what they're called, and I'm too lazy to look it up. I have the same problem when describing Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but that's just one of those things I guess. I like to think she'd crop up in a level with Daredevil, Spidey, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, maybe traversing the rough streets and rooftops of Hell's Kitchen in an attempt to apprehend Kingpin and his hired thugs. Not sure how it would tie into the main overarching plot of Loki and Galactus, but it would be nice to be on the streets of New York fighting crime with the other vigilantes. I'm going to redraw Daredevil since my drawing skills have immensely improved since I last drew him. As a pre warning, I also have no idea what Daredevil's baton stick weapons are called, so prepare yourself for that too...

New Lego Marvel Superheroes Art - Blade

Here's the latest character drawing, I know I was going to do Kraven, but someone on the official Lego Videogames Facebook page asked me to do Blade, so he was top of my list. Enjoy! I did a few rough sketches of Daredevil, Elektra, Professor Xavier, Vulture, Namor and a surprise character! They should be up next...

New! Lego Sandman Concept Art

The latest character to be drawn by me in Lego form... classic Spider-Man villain Sandman. Here's hoping he makes it into the final game, Kraven the Hunter is up next, followed by some familiar mutants...

My new Lego Green Goblin art...

I said I'd be doing some more characters and concept art now that the game has officially been announced, I kicked things off with The Thing, and now after a somewhat delayed start, I have the Green Goblin. I opted for a more graphical style with these new ones, rather than a realistic look. I just prefer them to look like they've come straight from the pages of a comic. Hopefully I'll get some more done soon... I'm thinking maybe Thanos, Kraven the Hunter or Sandman. Maybe all three.

The Thing

TT games announced in one of their recent behind the scenes videos that like The Hulk, there will be multiple other 'big-figs'. They revealed that The Thing would be one of them, so I decided to do a quick drawing of how I imagine he will look in the game. I've been doing quite a few little sketches and some concept art for the game, just to keep me occupied so I'll post those soon too hopefully.

It's happening!

It's happening. It's really, really happening. Lego Marvel Superheroes. A Lego Marvel Videogame. Whilst this blog didn't really get off of the ground in the way I'd hoped, it kept me hopeful, and gave me something to do. But now it's happening, after years of waiting, we'll finally get to play a Lego Marvel game, and it sounds incredible already. So, taking this into consideration, Lego Marvel is back on my brain. All I can do now is speculate some more until this Autumn. So hopefully, I'll be able to get some more of my ideas for the game onto here, during the run up to the release of the actual game. Cue excitable speculation for 9 or 10 months...

Good news everyone...

First off, apologies for being absent for such an incredible amount of time, I've been really busy but I promise that the charcters will start up again soon. But that is not why I drew your attention to this otherwise useless post. LEGO has recently signed a contract with DC comics and.... MARVEL! It seems my distant calls into the netherspace of the Internet have been heard, and there is now an official partnership between Marvel and LEGO. Which means if Travellers Tales have got their thinking hats on (which they always do) a LEGO Marvel Videogame might be on the horizon. HOORAY! Score 1 for unnoticed blogs everywhere.

Apologies...

I would just like to apologise for the lack of content uploaded onto this blog recently. My computer crashed and I lost everything. That means I lost all the images I had prepared and was planning on uploading. Therefore I will attempt to get things back on track as soon as possible though I am currently occupied with exams and Empty Biscuits shenanigans. So again I apologise to those who view this blog and those who have followed.

Hello people of the world.
This blog is about LEGO MARVEL: The Videogame, the game doesn't actually exist.... for now at least. BUT, over the next few weeks, I will post character designs and ideas for a Lego Marvel game. Then if enough people follow, maybe this little blog will catch Travellers Tales' eye (the creators and developers of the LEGO games), and give them inspiration to try and create this game.

I have around 80 characters in all, and I will try to post around 3 a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
So if you actually read that huge drawl which I just typed, and are interested, follow the blog, and we might just be able to get this up off the ground.

(P.S. If you are an employee at Travellers Tales, I do not intend to claim this idea as my own, as I am aware a LEGO Marvel game came close to development, I am simply trying to vent my ideas and possibly show you that a lot of people are interested in a LEGO Marvel game. I understand it is not as simple as just making the game as it involves lots of complications with licensing and copyrights, but as you are currently working with Disney on LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, and Disney owns Marvel, well, that's all that needs to be said. Thankyou for your time.)
