ugly or not
what is considered good style
do you see the issue here
I don't like them. but that's fine, if you like them, use them. however, I do have a problem with people saying it is the "blockland style", and suggesting people with different modeling styles to go in that direction. first of all, if you really feel that way, have you ever seen the default weapons? right. secondly, and more importantly, in the game we are toys. the bedroom and the kitchen both reflect this. even the default add-ons do. neither the flying carpet nor the jeep nor the ball look very much like legos, do they? no, they're just other toys. this means there is no "blockland style", just like there is no "toy style" in real life
despite what some people may say about them, this is why I think vehicles like night_hawk's or pompmaker's, despite their relative realism, are a great fit. I have several model cars that lego minifigures could reasonably fit in, which aren't exaggerated and oddly-proportioned. that's not to say I have a problem with such exaggerated, oddly-proportioned vehicles. toys like that exist too, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with them. and on that note, add-ons like T+T are good for that purpose, too. take brickarms for example. few of their weapons look like they might come in an actual lego set, but who cares? people still love and use them, and that's great. espio's bow near the top of this page could've been taken from some other action figure and stuck in a minifigure's hand
that old army man add-on is one of my favorites ever. it represented exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about. I can't find it now, but as you can imagine, it looked like one of those little green plastic army men. it was great. I think add-ons like that not only fit in with the game, but add a lot of charm and character to it
I am completely repulsed by the idea of suggesting someone drop their growing style in favor of making weapons that look like every other weapon we already have
