Blindahk

[Namata]

Hello guys, This is Blindahk, an eyeless stealth hunter native to the Southern Continent, who uses non-elemental sonic powers to make his steps inaudible to whoever he's hunting. His most lethal weapons are his venomous bite and loud shriek (Think Nazgul), and his shiny exoskeleton and the sharp protosteel blades on his back protect him from attack. Blindahk can also go into quadrupedal mode to climb and run faster. Any weaknesses, you might ask? NO! Anyway, here is the gallery. What do you think?

Impressive colour scheme, its simplicity makes it shine. However, he seems very basic. Good job though! 3.5/5

The torso is amazing, but the feet are a bit goofy, and the arms need more articulation and custom.

I can't beleive I've never seen feet like those before. They're so awsome! I love the color scheme, exept the white jaw looks out-of-place. Perhaps a silver jaw with a couple of white Bohrok eyes as teeth? Some custom, thin upper legs might be good, otherwise the simplicity just makes it look more awsome.

Thanks. Yes, that was exactly what I was aiming for, something basic that looks cool.

Thanks! You are very right about the arms, I might try to change them later. The feet are perhaps a little too long when he stands upright, but they were designed that way to make them work with the quadrupedal mode too. That was the biggest problem with the Vahki, I think, that they were clearly designed to stand upright. I wanted to make a MOC where the quadrupedal mode wasn't just a bonus, so to speak. See how those Bohrok feet fit perfectly with the Rahkshi legs?

Thank you! I tried it with a silver Onua claw too, convinced it would look better, and while it did, it sort of killed the personality the white jaw had given it. And for some reason, I like the contrast it creates. I might change the legs though.

Your MOC kind of reminds me of a baterra alternate design I saw somewhere .

Now that I think of it, I imagined the baterra looking something like this. However, the creature I drew inspiration from was actually the xenomorph (you know, the Alien alien) Thanks guys. This is a MOC I've been wanting to do ever since I got my first Bordakh staffs, so it's a very personal creation. I always knew how it should look and what personality it should have, so I focused on the head and torso, and tried to use older pieces to get the ridged theme. So the build itself became secondary, for once, even though I had a lot of fun making it. I might make custom legs and arms later, though.

I don't think that was really a problem with the Vahki. And I thought a Xenomorph was the parasite from Ben 10 that turned people into DNAliens?

No. A xenomorph is a black, eyeless alien that bleeds acid. However, I believe that the Xenocytes from Ben 10 were inspired by the facehugger, the second stage in the life cycle of the xenomorph. Anyway, on topic. The thing I didn't like about the Vahki was how their gears pointed down and how the Toa feet were used in the four-legged mode. It just felt forced, and that was what I wanted to avoid in this MOC. But yes, I agree that the feet look a little goofy when used as normal feet.

Interesting. It's nice and compact and has a cool color scheme. 4/5.
