Popular Post Djokson Posted July 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2015 Always hungry, always on the prowl. Haven't posted on these forums! As per usual, no real backstory to this thing. I just rewatched Pacific Rim last and really wanted to build something with a couple of sets of eyes. I went through a few versions of the design before I settled for the wildcat/lizard/gorilla freak, at one point it was something more resembling a giant leech with wings :v I mostly wanted to experiment with the Stronius armor parts because I had never used them before but I liked the uneven texture they have, both organic and mechanical at the same time. The eyes are what started the build, I really wanted to achieve an unusual, maybe even unsettling, look with them. I know the lack of toes on the hind feet might look off but the part sculpt already has three toes and I felt like clipping only two on didn't look that good. Still not sure if I made the right decision or not, but oh well. Anyway, that's it for my rant. Your comments and criticism are highly appreciated. Thanks for taking a look! PS. This guy is my entry into the Flickr contest for this month. 22 Quote Flickr DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickPharaoh Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Really think it should have had toes on the hind feet but other than that minor nitpick nothing else to criticize. It's a stunning MOC with ingenious construction all around, including the eyes. Really what else could one expect from a builder of your talent? Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."

Naota Takizawa Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I don't know how much touching up you did after taking the photo of this, but those eyes look pretty good. The Mordagogg is built pretty well, but the Kraata's yellow doesn't match up with the underbelly in this photo for some reason. Quote If you like Pingu & want to support a good project, click here.

Ghidora131 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I saw this on Brickshelf. I was waiting for you to post it. Nicely done! you really gave it a cartoonish look while still making it menacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millennium Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 It's great to see the good old Karzon's leg armor from 2006 Knights kingdom put to good use. I agree it should have some more toes, but it's menacing and great nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescent Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 It's great to see the good old Karzon's leg armor from 2006 Knights kingdom put to good use.Oh that's what those are? I was wondering what piece he used. It gives those legs a really cool texture. Anyway, mind-blowing MOC Djokson (all your MOCs are lol). That black armor on a black background, and those vibrant eyes, make him look terrifying. Mind telling me what piece(s) you used for the eyes? I've spent like ten minutes staring at it trying to figure out what part that might be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djokson Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thanks everyone! I really don't know about the hind paw toes, having just two felt really awkward and I didn't wanna make the foot design bigger because it would mess with the proportions.

BrickPharaoh Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 The hind feet would definitely use the toes in the back to give the feet some contrast. Right now they're too....well...black you could try some yellow 1x1 clips with horizontal clips and put the white plates with teeth underneath. Or you could opt in for something simpler, like the clip with the hole and some cow horns. Alternatively you could use the claw piece from the Constraction Chima sets of last year, the one that came with Chi Panthar (though not particularly sure it comes in white). But I really feel the black in the hind feet should get a little bit of contest. Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."
