Renzari Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thats a nice use of the elemental blades! These are nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurteX Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I am very amazed! The mix of color schemes makes them feel fresh in a unique and creative way, and their designs are also very good! The protectors look just looks extremely well, even bether than the original sets in my opinion. Also the skull warrioris looks solid, and feels like a great enemy for the protectors. The 'crawler' guy looks pretty cool and the two guns make him look dangerous and tops his design. however, the skull bird doesn't look very finnished, and need alot more work I think. But overall these are really good Moc's! I really like them. I might even try to make those myself Quote - Check out my photostream at Flickr!

Munty Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Haha 'Skull Pretty', I see what you did there These are great man, I have a feeling we're going to start seeing your name around BBC a lot in coming months! The skull Golem is just amazing, I can absolutely see the Summer wave sets taking this sort of form and I think you did a blinding job. Out of curiosity, what tier of set would you group the golem with? Large Toa, small Toa or protector? I'm curious as to what you think we would have to pay for something like this is we got it as a set. Personally I would be happy to see these as 'small toa' badguys and another 3 larger ones. Perhaps with Ekimu as a LoSS replacement. I'd totally buy this guy though, he looks excellent! I agree that the pretty isn't quite on the same level as the other slaves but the turret is a great design and pretty original concept I think (which is even more impressive than a good design IMO! I see you've included Rahi in the back story, care to tell us more about them? I kind of miss the wildlife of old 1 Quote Check out my Bionicle store on Bricklink here!> > > Bionic Bricks < < < Let me know if you can help me find these last few collectibles!Also looking for WILD KRAATA and a VMKK Yo!!!

BonkersForBonkles Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks guys! I really appreciate the kinds words. TurteX, the Skull Slaves aren't bad guys but creations of the shaman that do his bidding. I'll hold off on making real enemies for them until the summer enemies come out. As for the flying guy, I really like that he sort of looks like a flying monkey. I don't know how to make it better while keeping that look. Any help would be appreciated. And thanks Munty. Considering there isn't a gearbox or stud launcher, and he's made up of not many pieces, I would put it in the protector class, and the villagers would have to be lower priced than the protectors. As for the Rahi, I don't have too many ideas, but I've been trying to think of new MOCs for the story, and having Rahi be the threats for now seems like a good way to tide me over until the summer enemies.

As for the flying guy, I really like that he sort of looks like a flying monkey. I don't know how to make it better while keeping that look. Any help would be appreciated. I just think it looks a bit odd that his legs are attatched to his arms, and that his body doesn't seem very compressed or detailed. Personally I think you should try to build him again from scratch. That's just my opinion tough, if you like him you can off course keep gim that way And sorry for the missunderstanding, I didn't notice it was text under the pictures Quote - Check out my photostream at Flickr!

BonkersForBonkles Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 http://imgur.com/oMF92I5 I fixed the legs and now the wings can move. I like it a whole lot more. Please let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurteX Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I think it looks a lot bether now. Great improvement Also I don't know if it was intended or not, but the protectors in the background was a really nice touch for the photo. Quote - Check out my photostream at Flickr!

Jam Pot Studios Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I like all of the colour combos, particularly the green and purple one. They really feel like they could actually be other Protectors from the storyline. 1 Quote Blog|YouTube|Flickr Making brickfilms since 2007. Check out my latest animations: , , and Avengers Tower!

Munty Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Vast improvement on the pretty. Though I'm not sure I would try to distinguish between arms/legs as it currently stands. It seems like any of them could at as both at any given time. Just like a real monkey!

Chath Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I really like the use of some new colour schemes (mainly the green and purple, it's awesome). I also really like how none of them are terribly connected, they're just social outcasts, for various reasons. I'm really interested as to why Asheoko was exiled, will we ever know?

Prowl Nightwolf Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Want to hear something funny? I didn't even realize that was a mirror until the last picture. I though you actually built two of each to show off the front and backs.

Nescent Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks guys. I changed all the guys a bit and did a better photo reshoot. Also babies. http://imgur.com/a/WwXWV I love those creative color schemes! The purple-green one in particular caught my eye. The blue-keetorange one has too much keetorange though, I think it would look a lot better if you added a third color. Nice skull chain necklace, it's topical (Skull Spiders), and I don't see non-Bionicle things included in MOCs like that very often. It looks really good.

BonkersForBonkles Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks for the critique! I'm a big admirer of your high-quality builds, photos, and graphic design work! For Asheoko, in my mind her third color was black, but I guess that's not really a color. I'll play around with a real third color for a while and get back to you.

ChromeLewa Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'm liking these. Particulary the water one. The Yellow Orange gives her a diving suit feel. Myself I dont think you need another color for her. I am curious though about how you attached the turbines on the second version.
