Duyên is an arbiter of The After. A dark and mysterious being that has a hand in the fate of minifigures once they die. Clothed in the very fabric of reality itself, Duyên’s role differs from the other arbiters in that it actively hunts those that defy fate. Walking the mortal world looking to right the way of things. Destroying rogue immortals and other minifigs that refuse to die.
Recently, a rather uninspiring mage found a way to consume his variants and escape the after.Such hubris cannot be allowed. What’s more, that knowledge cannot be allowed to propagate out into the brikverse. It is only a matter of time before Duyên finds him, and rights the cosmic wrong of his existence.
About this figure:
Concept wise I think The After is the coolest thing I’ve ever made. Which is a shame cuz after where do we go I never really intended to revisit it. That said, when making this figure I asked myself “how would a bunch of previously unchallenged immortal beings react to being humiliated?”
They probably would not take it well.
The visual theme here is the thread of fate. And I think it comes through wonderfully. A couple key prints combine to highlight the overly long coat that manages to support the figs weight somehow, letting him seem like he's floating. The coat was made by layering quilt scraps and a belt loop over a custom trimmed Lego cape with fabric glue. Buttons and random thread stitches help to add a bit more texture. The bag of heads he carries is made from a piece of a mesh dice bag I got from our local game store.
