Makuta Miras Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) It's been ages since I've actually put something here in BBC, so I'm going to post a big one now! Over this past week, I've made quite a few MOCs, most of them being experiments in making small custom bodies. My Matoran design: Front: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Makuta-Miras/RandomBioMOCs/img_0038.jpgBack: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Makuta-Miras/RandomBioMOCs/img_0039.jpg Tyxama, Turaga of Fire: Front: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Makuta-Miras/RandomBioMOCs/tyxama_front.jpgBack: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Makuta-Miras/RandomBioMOCs/tyxama_back.jpg Sanmaka, post- Spherus Magna reformation female Toa of the Green Front: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Makuta-Miras/RandomBioMOCs/sanmaka_front.jpgBack: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Makuta-Miras/RandomBioMOCs/sanmaka_back.jpg Sanmaka was an experiment in building a titan-scale torso, and although it could do with a bit of tweaking, I'm happy with the overall result. The reason why I didn't make her sword any longer was because I wanted her to look like a soldier, and a short sword helps that along, and the excess amount of black on the hands was intended to look like gloves.

BrickPharaoh Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Okay, so you have quite a showcase there. I'll comment on each one separately. The matoran design: appears to be quite limited when it comes to mobility. Also the back is a bit bare; you could have considered a HF foot just to fill it up. The Turaga: a great color scheme. I particularly like the way the staff complements the rest of the color scheme as well. You could get by with a few more minor details added to the MOC, but whatevs Sanmaka: I think it's well thought-out for the most part, but I feel the torso makes him appear a bit too plump and not really feminine from what I've seen. It would help if you reduce the bulk going on at the lower torso, as well as leaving some at the top of the chest. Wouldn't hurt implementing some hip-like armoring as well, something like Rahkshi feet would work great. Overall, while this is a fine collection of creations for someone who hasn't been building for quite a long time, I'd say it's a good attempt that could've used some more work.

Axilus Prime Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) The Matoran look good. The Inika shoulder armor actually works there. I still prefer the look of Metruans, but that works too. The Turaga isn't really anything remarkable, though. Sanmaka is really fat. Never seen a fat Toa before. If that wasn't the intention, then remember to balance out distribution of mass better. If that was the intention, then...congratulations, I think.

Mate.397 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The matoran design I didn't really like to be honest, it just looked so hollow and flat. The turaga looked fairly good but the titan just feels like you went overboard with the pieces, it looks like it's carrying twice it's weight that it should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Minifig Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The matoran or okay, but I think the arms seem a little too long for the rest of the body. I really like the Turaga though. He looks pretty good. I agree with previous posters about the Toa's torso. For the size of the Toa, the torso is just a little bit too big. You may want to consider trying to shrink the torso down a little bit. Or you could also reuse it and try com up with some larger legs and arms. However you did an excellent job with the legs. If you make an modifications I would definitely keep the legs and try to reuse them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednas3636 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I like the turaga's torso and the toa's legs ^^ Quote TheSkeletonMan939, Twister92, SPIRIT and Gatanui are awesome for uploading soundtracks and games and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
