Making Custom LEGO Marvel Minifigures and Accessories

[@fruitlooponthefloor3528]

Funny watching this after the avengers tower reveal with Kevin feigi

[@ItzBlakeyBoiii]

Yup

[@ejhproductions1]

You really nailed Lego’s art style, nice job! On an unrelated note, could you do a tutorial on your mouth animations? They match what you’re saying really well, I’d love to know how you do it!

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

Sure thing! For now, my process is first grabbing just my “animation dialogue,” transcribing it, then dropping the audio and text into Adobe Character Animator. Next, I link the transcript and audio to a premade mouth and the software creates a base level of visemes (mouth shapes). Finally, I go in and adjust some of the shapes to better match my audio, export the mouth video, and stick it onto my minifigure render!

Tony’s arm is a bit too long

[@GuyWhoWearsHawwianShirts]

Ya

[@chutas]

Peter's too

[@DoughnutDragon]

All he had to do was move the hands so only the tip of them appeared over their heads.

[@Legomotionfake]

Just a tad bit 😊

[@MrGoofymcgoo]

Nah he’s just built different

[@AdamsMarvelWorld]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I love your videos, the way you enjoy everything lego makes me excited for your videos.

[@meismagalski]

Hey if you want to make your custom prints more lego-y, make the lines the same thickness, and also lego doesn’t use gradients.

[@Quentino808]

Your lego modok looks better than the on screen modok. Great job on these! My only real critique is the Tony and Peter picture. You nailed the style but the arms look insanely long. I would have brought them closer together and put the hands on top of their heads closer together

[@Robertcarreon2]

Hi, I hope you have a great day or night whenever your reading this. thanks for posting videos for us.

Hi Ryan My name is Evan and I would like to write a little thank-you note. Dear Ryan every day before bed I watch your videos and admire your setup and minifig display. I hope one day to be a lego designer I also hope to have a minifig setup just like yours. Going in to 5th grade I'm happy knowing that when ever I'm stressed I can watch one of your videos. Your my favorite youtuber and hope one to repay those times when I was stressed and to repay you with legos ,money, or something else. Marvle is my favorite theme which is one of the many reasons I watch your videos. I've been watching your videos for 4 years now and plan to watch much longer. Dear Ryan I hope see this this comment and keep up the good work. I thought to write this to express my gratitude to you so bye.

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

Hey Evan! Thank you for your kind note and I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! I think it's awesome you want to be a LEGO designer, as it seems like a really fun job! Have an awesome day!

[@evanadams924]

thanks for responding could you mention me in a vid it would make my year. Bye.

[@evanadams924]

One more thing how much would you sell your marvle minifigures for I'm interested in buying them when I'm older.

[@ThatDuckThinglol]

Hi Ryan love your content keep the good work uo

Been waiting forever for a new one! Thanks for not leaving us!

Any reason you didn’t make the pager on a 1x1 square flat stud?

[@c3sc0as]

You know who you should make. Daredevil. Either main Netflix suit or She-Hulk suit

[@gameplayersbrockport]

You should try to design some Resident Evil lego minifigs. I'd buy them in a heartbeat

[@m.gjrgensen8755]

Really cool custom prints. For part 2 try making the Symbiote in a like glas case

Interesting!!

We are literally getting over half of these in 1 official Lego Marvel set now, including the Kevin feige fig. Surely you get some credit for this?

Hahaha I guess I’ll have to compare and see who designed it better (probably the professionals lol)

Lego NEEDS to hire ryan

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

Hahah pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to buy any more off-brand figures if LEGO hired me…

[@psychfulamb]

Modok with the two separate pieces shows me that it is a robot face and not a real face. Great customs and I really wish I had that walk man.

[@GryffindorBrickKid]

As an artist in the LEGO community, I can say that you did greatly here. The only pieces of advice i could give you are that when it comes to wrinkles, they should be thicker for them to be more refined and they also point at the ends of the lines too. Also, LEGO doesn't typically use gradients in their prints anymore since the early 2000s, take the SDCC Arsenal for example. And for when it comes to designing things such as comic prints, i would recommend looking at the Detective Comics print from the DC CMF so you know what level of detail you should be going for, otherwise, everything looks brilliant!

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

Awesome! Thank you for the kind words and stellar feedback! I might call upon your expertise for a future video if you don't mind...

[@MylesGilliam-os5fz]

ryan since you like to review knokoff lego figures you should buy the knockoff lego spider book it comes with a build and 52 spider men/women.😊

Plz make a part 2 but with DC

[@jabmas]

u bet ur doing powerrangers next

[@happyfish1853]

I think you did really well but I don’t like the Tony and Peter picture but apart from that really good 👍

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

I think I could make a better v2 for sure...

[@CodedHumor]

Good video, a few things however I saw that were odd choices. If you chose a square flat stud and not a round one, the pager could’ve been a bit bigger and looked better for the shape, and the arms in the Tony and Peter picture need adjusting, it looks really cursed.

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

Fair point for Tony and Peter. I chose a round stud because there was not a 1x1 square plate option available

[@CodedHumor]

@@RyanSevelVlogs Ah okay! Then for a rounded stud it came out surprisingly well! I think the modok is my favorite part of the video, he looks awesome.

[@amber_person]

Maybe, New Goblin from Spider-man 3?

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

Ooo that’s a fun one

[@ARDIZsq]

I have to say, I enjoyed this video, however as an artist who has dabbled a bit in custom LEGO designs, I’ll offer some advice. I think your concepts are amazing and I especially loved the minifigure. For some of the other pieces though, I think it’s important to keep the lines thick enough to make sure they print well. From what I’ve seen, LEGO doesn’t really print lines that are super thin like some of the ones on some of the background characters on the comic, but that’s really an easy fix. My biggest complaint however is with Modok. I think that the concept is there, but the helmet piece(s) are too overdone. I don’t think the glow or the embossing should be there, though I’m willing to be more open to the glow. I also think that it just looks a bit less polished than the others. The free handed lines don’t really work for that sort of thing, and it’s easy to see the jitter and asymmetry. My best advice here would be to keep it simple, and to do one of two things. If you’re going to continue free handing the designs, using a program with a mirror/symmetry tool will help a lot, and turning up the smoothness of the brush can help avoid any jitter or skipping. If you don’t go that route, which I don’t think is best, you ideally should be using vectors. The shape tool and ESPECIALLY the pen tool are your best friends. You can even draw half of the design and copy it to the other side to cut down on work while still keeping everything clean. Also, the gold on the helmet really didn’t print well, so I’d suggest for future pieces, if you’re printing something that has the same colored background as the piece you’re printing on, make it a PNG like you would for a Minifigure piece. I get that maybe gold wasn’t an option, but designing the helmet to be yellow would look much nicer than trying to fake the gold color with printing. I hope nothing came off as too harsh, I just genuinely want to see you improve. Again, I think you have REALLY solid concepts, and I’d like to see them more fully realized. I hope you make another video like this. I want to see what else you can come up with.

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

Thanks for the sound advice! As someone who isn’t a designer, these are all great tips, and I’ll be sure to dive more into the pen tool and mirror tool for the eventual part 2!

[@clom]

How would I be able to do this myself?

[@Adriel013]

Awesome video!! It's great to see you trying out some Lego designs after so many reviews of oficial and unoficial figures haha the pieces you made look amazing!! If I can give one feedback, it would be to thicker more some lines, make them more consistent too. Using a line and mirror tool is also great, this way the lines looks more consistent and less "hand drawn" I'm really excited to see more designs coming from you, there's a lot of potential for MCU minifigures and small pieces 😁

[@RyanSevelVlogs]

Great advice!! I’ll try to take more advantage of the mirror tool in part 2!

When are you going to be making a lego x-men or fantastic four video?

Once I find some good figures. There were some solid Fantastic Four figures awhile ago (pretty sure I even reviewed them). But I haven’t seen any good ones since.
