Geha, Kasha, Tahu, and a Makuta


Recommended Posts

Hello, as some of you may know, I'm making comics. But I do need help with them. All opinions and feedback are welcome.

Now let's get started

Hey Forgotten Chronicler, I see you have some interesting MOC’s here. Before I go on to critique your creations, I would like to suggest that, when you create a MOC topic in the future, that you have all of the pictures separate from each other. Having such a big picture can be cumbersome considering you’re not going to be able to look at the whole thing on your screen without the loss of detail. Anyways, on to the MOC’s!

 

--------------------

Geha is pretty simple, considering it uses an Inika build. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, since a simple build can avoid a jumbled look. I feel like the main problem this MOC has is the color scheme. I feel like if you stuck to just 2 or 3 colors, it would help the look of the MOC. I feel like red, gunmetal, and grey or red, gold, and grey would be good choices if you had pieces in those color

 

The main things I do like about your creation are the 2 swords/jet packs on his back. Their construction is simple but they still look good.

 

--------------------

For Kasha, it would be cool if you had a shot of her back, that way I could see how you constructed the body better. In terms of color scheme, I like the consistent look of the first picture more than the second picture. If you had 2 metru blue Rahkshi heads, I feel like the updated version would look a lot better.

 

For this MOC, I like how you used the light blue limb joints as armor. I never thought to use those pieces like that and they look really good here.

 

--------------------

Looking at Tahu, is there any reason you used 2 differently colored legs? If you wanted to, I think it would be cool if you continued that double colored theme to his arms and used mata red and Keetongu yellow Inika legs for the forearms.

 

Also, if you were able to, could you take a more detailed picture of Tahu’s torso? I would be interested in how you built it, since from the pictures you’ve given, it looks to be custom.

 

Otherwise, this is probably my favorite of the 4 MOC’s. :)

 

--------------------

This Makuta MOC has some pretty cool parts that I like. Thank you for the very detailed pictures! For this MOC, I would suggest taking out the Keetongu yellow, light green, white, mata red, and blue and keeping all of the other colors.

 

I think my favorite part of it is the lower leg design and feet. That is a very cool way to use those Avohkii. For the thighs, I would suggest using this piece here and then putting a see-through orange armor piece on the extra ball joint. Hopefully the hinged ball joint will help with posing the legs.

 

For the arms, to make them for “titan-like” I would suggest doubling up the joints like you did for the lower legs, only flipped 90 degrees. Although, to be honest, I feel like the arms are ok like they are right now.

 

As for all of the weapons, I feel like they work well with the MOC, especially the Ehlek and Nuparu claws.

 

--------------------

All in all, I feel like you have some decent MOC’s here, The Forgotten Chronicler. I think, for the most part, I would try implementing all of the color suggestions I gave before anything else, then go from there. I hope you keep on MOCing!

Thank you for the big report you gave to me. I will put the MOCs in separate pictures. For the color scheme, I am ordering the parts off of eBay, Amazon, or BrickLink. As for the Makuta, it's color scheme is supposed to be like that, making the ultimate part come in, though I am trying to make it a bit more organized. I will do as you suggest, and I will keep MOCing.

 

 

The missing/requested pictures you needed are in.

I actually really like the fact that one of Tahu's legs is coloured differently from the other, It makes both his mask and his torso fit in with the colour scheme better.

 

Geha, on the other hand, doesn't look as visually pleasing with a mismatch colour scheme.

 

I also think the colour scheme on Makuta could be improved apon.

 

I think Kasha having white shoulderplates would be preferable to Metru Blue ones, seeing as white is already in the colour scheme, although not abundantly, so adding more white would balance out the colour scheme in such a way, whereas, there wouldn't be any Metru Blue aside from the shoulders if the shoulders were to become blue.

Good point, as I said, I'm trying to get the right colored pieces for them out of my collection. For now, I'm trying to balance out the colors. As for the Makuta's color scheme, I don't have many Hero Factory sets and it's story is that it was mixed with Rahi in a pool of liquid protodermis making it's color scheme mixed up. Thanks for the suggestions though.  :)  I'm going to wait a month or two before releasing my next comic for improvements, and the big winner will be the one who can make Kasha's body slender  ;)
