Toa and Beast

[Waaja]

Hello, I'm back with another MOC!

Name: Toa Renua and Beast

 

Description: As the young Toa Renua sets out on a soul-searching journey, he meets his first companion, Beast. Beast is of a species close to the Kikanalo, and his bite can be worse than his bark. Together with Toa Renua's Fire-ice bending powers, the duo cross lands, encountering numerous friends and foes.

 

Comment: This was made back in April 2013. I wanted to try my hand out at making a animal-MOC, so Beast was the result of my tinkering about. Beast (obviously the star here, if you haven't noticed) was made with adding more points in articulation in mind. He features a two-point waist articulation, posable jaws, and a dual-balljointed head connection. Due to my lack of pieces. hope you dont mind Beast's *er-hrm* colourful appearance. The claws were inspired by Digimon/ Gomamon.

 

Toa Renua was an add-on to beast. I wanted to try new colour combinations, and have him wield an axe-like weapon.

This is great, it really is. But the beast looks rather unfinished, and I'm not sure about his containing all the different colors of Bionicle XD

You'd typically limit color usage to about a maximum of 4 or 5 colors, depending on where you situate them. I bet that with Beast, you can build the skeleton entirely out of dark and light grey, black, and metru red, and then you would maybe use some white on his back and head, just to try and keep things a bit more consistent. And with respect to his head, it's quite cool, but I would also try to make it a tad more "smooth" and streamlined.

 

Overall, good job, but you should probably invest in a couple well-structured Bricklink orders or bulk piece purchases.

XD I'm poor that way... My MOCs tend to be a bit on the 'unpolished' side as I do suffer from a lack of more specialised pieces :X
