The Bat Lord - an AI Song

 

Here is a tribute song dedicated to Basil and his story.

The song was written with Chat Gpt and set to music using Suno AI.

I like it very much, I was really amazed by the end result

You can find the lyrics here

V From the land of Bricksylvania, where the shadows never sleep, Lived a warlord named Basil, in the dark his secrets keep. Once a common brute of war, his path crossed with a witch, Willa's curse transformed him, his fate a wicked glitch. Hail to the Bat Lord, cursed by witch’s hand, Insane vampiric tyrant, ruling a dark land. Once a warlord mighty, now a creature of the night, Basil the Bat Lord, spreading fear and fright. Willa's spell was cast, in shadows he did fall, Basil became the Bat Lord, the darkest of them all. With eyes that gleamed in madness, and fangs that thirst for blood, He roams the haunted night, in a cloak of crimson flood. Hail to the Bat Lord, cursed by witch’s hand, Insane vampiric tyrant, ruling a dark land. Once a warlord mighty, now a creature of the night, Basil the Bat Lord, spreading fear and fright. In the halls of his dark castle, his laughter fills the air, A tyrant’s reign of terror, none can hope to dare. Bricksylvania trembles, beneath his iron rule, For the Bat Lord’s power, makes the bravest feel a fool. Hail to the Bat Lord, cursed by witch’s hand, Insane vampiric tyrant, ruling a dark land. Once a warlord mighty, now a creature of the night, Basil the Bat Lord, spreading fear and fright. From the miserable land of shadows, his legend now unfolds, Basil the Bat Lord, with a heart forever cold. A tyrant and a monster, under Willa's wicked spell, In the dark of Bricksylvania, his name forever dwells.

Playmobil Knights Diorama

Welcome Home

In this scene, a captured knight is being delivered to his new "home" a tower in the middle of a lake, where he will await his ransom. 

The imposing tower is a BlueBrixx medieval structure, while all the minifigures are LEGO.

The Wolfpack knight, leads the prisoner toward the fortress. 

I created his custom cape by hand, carefully designing it to match the faction’s theme. The atmosphere is enhanced by the misty water reflections, adding to the sense of isolation and captivity.

The diorama captures the classic medieval theme of hostage-taking and ransom, an integral part of chivalric warfare. 

The Crossing

This diorama depicts Grudgebringers cavalry crossing an ancient stone bridge.

I built the stone bridge using polystyrene, carefully sculpted and textured to replicate the look of weathered stone. To ensure durability, I treated the surface to make it waterproof before painting it with realistic stone effects.

However, the bricks on the sides of the bridge are made entirely of cement, cast using silicone molds.

A Lone Knight of the Forestmen

 Today, I’m showcasing a custom LEGO knight inspired by the iconic Forestmen faction from the 1990s. In the photo, you’ll see a gallant knight astride a white horse adorned with a barding I created myself, featuring the Forestmen heraldry. The knight’s green cape also bears the faction’s emblem, tying the design together beautifully.

This knight wears a paladin-style armor and wields a lance alongside a circular shield from BrickWarriors. For the helmet, I repurposed an original LEGO motocross helmet, replacing the flames with two LEGO root pieces to evoke the antlers of a stag—an homage to the Forestmen’s deer emblem.
