Tufi Piyufi: Puffin Empress


Recommended Posts

I like the overall look, though the mask feels off, in color at least, or am I missing something about her?

That is Tufi's signature mask since the beginning of time. Plus the mask needs to be off-colour from the rest of the model in order to fully separate it from the uniform. Most people don't have a skintone that matches their uniform, after all!

Obviously =P I just didn't know it was supposed to be uniform worn by a person ^_^;

I don't know if you think of this, but, from the way I see it, this MOC looks more like a pirate to me. The only thing missing is a pirate hat/bandana. Out of curiosity, how tall is it?

:P

 

Seriously, though, this looks amazing! The upper torso/shoulders feel a little out of proportion, but that may just be the pose and camera angle. Also not sure how I feel about those red ball joints in the wrists. Loving that sword, though! :D And the boots and feathery coat-tails. Excellent touch, that. ;)

I feel a lot of the proportions are wonky [at best] and while I agree that the Huna is KEY, there still needs to be some sort of head accent to pull all of this together and to keep the head from looking comically small on the frame of the MOC.

 

That said however

 

The Thigh-high boots, the overcoat, THAT SWORD PAT OH MY GOD THE SWORD there is just so much style and honest to goodness fashion it just feels really great and the rest kind of does not matter.

It is very swashbuckling, for sure. I'm feeling that right now, I guess. It's probably around a foot tall?

I'm not thrilled about the arms, but I'm not sure where any of the rest of the proportions get wonky at worst. I worked very hard to keep it to a slightly exagerrated realistic set of proportionate body lengths. I tried lots of head accents, each one detracted from the overall feel of the model. I'm afraid I take umbrage with "comically small" quite drastically. I build models to be proportionate based on the mask size, not the head underneath as functionally the mask presents as the head in photos and display.

A proper military uniform on a BIONICLE MOC? As that Shaggy rip-off from Jabber-Jaw used to say, "Wowie Wow Wow!"

 

This is most impressive! I love the personal customizations to it to fit our BZP old-timer. :P  Has Tufi seen this as of yet?

I believe her exact words (via text message) were "I NEED THOSE BOOTS NOW".

 

Followed by: "AND THAT JACKET".

 

I've been trying to do more "real-world inspired" outfits or design styles on my MOCs lately. It's sort of fun to take things in such a different direction from the normal BIONICLE MOCing scene.

Well, if you need an idea, you could make a Medieval Roman/'Byzantine' Cataphract or a member of the Varangian Guard; Heavily armored and aren't Western Knights (do either of these and I will take it as a personal MoC for myself :P ). If you want to make villain, you could also do a Ritterbruder from the Monastic State of the Teutonic Order (would require a white cape; what a name).

What is a Tufi piyufi the moc looks great

A Tufi Piyufi is a rare breed of forum-moderating puffins...

 

No, just kidding. :P Tufi Piyufi is the forum leader of Bionicle-Based Creations, one of the most famous mods on BZPower, and an all-around awesome person.

 

And let me be the first to congratulate you on being featured, DeeVee!
