The Beard of Knowledge

[Irrie]

Alright, this is my first MOC, so I hope you like it!
 
Anyway, I have created a figure that I like to call 'The Beard of Knowledge'. He ranks among one of the taller ones, rounding to approximately 9'' or 23 cm. I've had a smaller version of him as a MOC for several months, however recently I began to add on to his build. This is the finished product. 
He is called the Beard of Knowledge because of his most eye-catching feature; his bright orange beard. Often I pose him scratching it, while contemplating life's mysteries.

He is equipped with a massive claw and gauntlet on his left arm, as well as poseable fingers on his right.

The Beard also has a head-mounted launcher with projectile...

...and a jetpack.

Thanks, and enjoy!

EDIT: I gave him a white background, so I hope that this looks a little better. However, I still don't have a green screen so that I can make the back completely transparent. :/

That is definitely interesting look MOC. The orange beard jumps out right away. I've never seen a piece used like that to give a Bionicle a beard. Is there a purpose for the launcher mounted next to his head? It seems like the hips are a little too wide. I would try to narrow them if possible, unless you need that big to accommodate the feet.

 

Nice job on a very interesting MOC.
