[Flaming Bricks]

What program do you use to draw your figures? I thought about doing my own minifigure designs, I usually draw on paper

Only 3 series left? Oh my, that's awful... 

I'll do an advent calendar in the Guilds of Historica this year, but I see we're counting on the same guy for original minifigs!

Best wishes to all the children who will receive the gifts of St. Nicholas tomorrow and I will do it with a photo that shows, among others, two characters drawn by Robert8.

 

[Robert8]

@ARTU lovely  Thanks for sharing. 

Also, I'll let you that there is another steampunk character coming in Series X next January

Oooh - those silhouettes look exciting. Merry Christmas to you, and thanks for this present!

[ToaIruini]

Merry Christmas @Robert8 and thank you for continuing to share your ideas for cmfs! I look forward to seeing these every couple months. 
 

Hmm, this time it looks like a figure based off Jafar, and the second one is a siren? They both look very cool so far. 

[Robert8]

Thanks!

They are Sultan and Evil Mermaid

[lifeinplastic]

Merry Christmas All - looking forward to these, as always!

Choosing the same release date as an actual CMF wave, bold move! Series 22 is pretty good, but given your history and TLG's, I know which one I'd prefer to have (hint: it's not the one we're actually getting). That genie bottle alone is a keeper!

[Aurore]

Oh, great news! And great teaser - I agree with @Karalora, that bottle is already gorgeous! 

[Lion King]

Oooo i can’t wait to see. Seires X this New Year’s Day!

haha It wasn't on purpose 

I want to post Series Z the same day I posted Series A back in 2016, so it had to be

January - Series X

March - Series Y

May - Series Z

[Robert8]

Happy New Year!

To kick the year off, I present my most recent custom CMF series 
This is the first one of the final batch, which already makes me feel nostalgic but I'm glad I was able to bring this project to an end

And now without further ado....

 

NOTE. I'm playing to be The LEGO Group here, so I'm taking the new pieces from Series A to Series W as already introduced pieces.

Love these, great to see another series. Enchantress is the top spot for me but they're all great.

[Lion King]

Happy New Year!

another great sereis!!

I love Olympian Archer, Plauge Doctor, Evil Mermaid, Comedian, Enchantress and Golem! Excellent work. 

I would use Plague Doctor’s mask for Venetian festival idea!

[Umbra-Manis]

Starting the New Year off right! Gotta say my favorites this time around are the Evil Mermaid, Steampunk Adventuress, and the Golem. 

[Karalora]

I'm practically drooling; these are so awesome! I'll say it again--why can't yours be the actual ones? I very much want an Evil Mermaid/Siren for my collection (in the meantime I've made do with kitbashing one out of existing parts), and I didn't know I wanted a 19th-Century bustle skirt until you designed one!

[ToaIruini]

Omg @Robert8, what an amazing series! These series are really going out with a bang!  I love all of them. 
 

Wild West Lady: I love it, great idea! I just wish the hairpiece contrasted more in color. Does that hairpiece come in black? 
Combined Mecha: WOAH, nostalgia. You executed this perfectly, thanks for including it! I love the colors and the great part usage, even the face print, the small details. 
Sultan: I love the small details on this one, and the colors work surprisingly well. I don’t have a use for Sultan but would probably pick up a few. 
Parade Dancer: now this one is seriously impressive - out of the whole series, this one I’d like to hold in my hand the most. I can envision it being a sight to behold in real life, the headless and sparkles stand out. Great work on this one. 
Comedian: great job taking a straightforward idea and turning it into something real interesting. 
Steampunk Lady: That skirt and torso print are beautiful, and I would love to have that compass (many of them). 
Golem: this makes me miss Power Miners. Thanks for including this one, I think I’ve talked about power miners in the past so seeing this one was a nice surprise. I love it. 
Olympian Archer: This fig is great, I’d love another Winged Warrior style fig, like from Series 15. 
 

But really, all of them are amazing and well done. I always have so much fun looking through them. You’re making it really hard to end this in May . I hope you have a great new year, and I hope you like reading my comments. 

[Robert8]

Thank you for the comments!

I'm glad you liked these

I had to make some rearrangements because I thought Series 22 was going to be more City-ish, so I made this one a fantasy heavy series. There were like 0 characters from City. But I was pleasantly surprised Series 22 was a nice mix of different genres, so I went back to this series and included the Electrician and the Comedian

Also, I didn't plan to make an Apollo minifigure, but because so many of you were mentioning him, I decided to replace the grenlim that was originally here

Thank you so much your sharing your thoughts. I did enjoy reading them a lot

With the Wild West Lady, I had the idea that she was Calamity Drone before Lord Business translated her consciousness into a robot, but I dropped the idea. She was originally blonde. That idea was me kind of trying to make sense to why Lord Business gave breasts to a robot

Also, I'm really proud of the Steampunk Explorer  Probably my fav steampunk of the ones I've made

The Parade Dancer took me a long to figure it out. This is obviously a samba dancer from the Rio Carnival but really a child-friendly version. So, my reference were actually pics of kids who parade in the carnival. Also, I thought about making her a female counterpart to the Vidiyo S2 Carnival Dancer, but I went with the brazil flag colors instead
