Removed297 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Again, I give you all a look at my awful photography and prototype MOCs! Seraph I put this together quickly; so quickly that I neglected to make a grey-backed light box. Ah well, empty bookshelves can do in an emergency!Hopefully criticisms can give me ideas for improvement; by the time I implement any suggestions I'll likely have a light box proper. The MOC itself is loosely inspired by the Seraphs from Judaism and Christianity. I'm mildly interested in religious imagery of this sort, and thought I'd make a mech based on it. Definitely more interesting than making a mechanized baby-with-harp-and-wings. Loosely inspired. I know that by the descriptions it's not technically a Seraph. Just look at the legs are the 3rd set of wings. Half-baked lore I just skimmed from my mind: Their creators a mystery, Seraphs are unusual machines that are constantly being found at random throughout the galaxy. Endlessly patrolling their home planets, Seraphs are a boon to vulnerable colonists; Seraphs will fight to the death to protect peaceful life-forms of any class or species. All attempts at studying Seraphs closely have failed. Though never malevolent, they have put retrieval crews at great risk in their attempts to escape capture, and project a localized bubble of energy that negates long-range scanning fields of all types. Whether that is the purpose of the field or only a side-effect of a mysterious primary function is unknown. After a Seraph was destroyed in 8E 7750 while attempting to defend the Fielding Colony from a pirate raid, techs were dispatched to the colony's remains alongside relief crews, hoping to salvage any remaining Seraph components. The crew managed to retrieve a single leg, which promptly disintegrated when they attempted to perform a rudimentary scan of its structure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space: Ocean of Awe Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Awesome! Love the design, it looks very cool and modern. I'm also interested in religious imagery and whatnot, so this is a treat! I also enjoyed the description. Looking forward to seeing the finished product (with a nice background)! =) Quote "Baby, in the final analyses, love is power. That's where the power's at."

Kopekemaster Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Love it. It would pass well as a technological angelic being in a technological setting.Ooh. I'm getting some cool ideas right now, actually. Sort of a technological religion...Ooh.I can't help but see the large blue orb in the middle of the chest as a sort of third eye that scans for something, or something.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product (with a nice background)! =) Thanks for the feedback! I haven't had time to work on either the Seraph or a light box in the last few days; my LEGO collection has gotten a bit disorganized, so my free time has been spent re-sorting it. Love it. It would pass well as a technological angelic being in a technological setting.Ooh. I'm getting some cool ideas right now, actually. Sort of a technological religion...Ooh.I can't help but see the large blue orb in the middle of the chest as a sort of third eye that scans for something, or something. That was my intent. It has six outlying scanner-eyes, and a central seventh. The gray wheel is its sensor dampers. Hopefully I'll rediscover enough transparent parts during my sorting to make a less noticeable stand!

Mysterious Minifig Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I like it. It's very unique and it looks very other worldly. I'm not sure if that's how I would envision a Seraph, but I think it works. My only complaint is the grey wheel hub in the center. I don't think that one piece of grey goes well with the rest of the white. I suppose that's not a part that comes in white though, so there's not much that can be done about it.
