Protodermis Entity - 2015 Redux


Recommended Posts

Yet again an older creation returns in a new form, this time it's, I'd assume, a fairly known character from the Bionicle lore the Protodermis Entity. I used to have two versions of this fella but after a while a I realized I don't need both just one, so I merged the two into a single MOC

Edit: Okay seriously, what is going on with this site? My Protector of Time MOC gets near instant replies but this one is still on 0-0?

If you bother to check, comment if you'd please.

 

Up for a week and not a single comment... really guys?

Since this topic was the subject of your Q&A thread, I feel like I should give you a review.

 

I like the chest and the torso - they're well constructed, but I feel that there's no flow between the upper body and the head. The length of the neck and the flat termination of the upper chest area contribute to this. I wouldn't recommend lowering the neck, though, due to the parts on the shoulders and upper arms. I feel like the proportions are good there, currently.

 

I am a fan of the claws, though; they look quite menacing.

Glad to hear some feedback after such silence. I admit the neck does stick out a bit, and I am trying to excuse it on him being a shapeshifter that probably just took a steady shape, but I can't have every negative trait put on the account of that.

TBH, most (actually all) of my MOC posts hardly gets any replies, so yeah. I feel you. T>T

 

But here you go, a reply :3

 

Annnnyyyway, on to the MOC :3 The  legs to me do not work well with the body, seeing how they are a little thin, and rather long - the body on the other hand is quite wide and filled, which makes the length of the legs stand out even more..? Yeah, overall, this MOC is pretty lengthy to me. I'm not sure about the character this was based on, so I'm not going to say if it is god or bad :3

 

I am a fan of interesting constructions, even though they may not be aesthetically smooth all the time. Hence I quite like the construction of the feet :3

Sadly, The Maze of Shadows book, doesn't give a description of the Protodermis Entity, therefore imagination can run wild on his appearance. Since for the most part he is a pool of silver liquid that most likely took a steady shape for the first time, and probably doesn't care about anatomy, he will look strange and weird, but as I mentioned above, I can't excuse every negative trait on that.

I don't think the Hau works well with the rest of the MOC; the colour is different and it looks a bit too small and "friendly". While I like the unique construction of the lower half of the legs, the use of Dark Grey on the upper half clashes with the new Dark Bluish Grey on the rest of the MOC. The use of the Piraka torso is interesting and quite effective, but maybe you could add more detail to it e.g. something similar to Brutaka's angled spikes.
