Bonkle Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 They fear him. The villagers fear him, the Toa fear him, even Kulta fears him. They know as soon as they see him, it's too late. Because once he's upon you, all you can do is scream. Don't cross the Skull Ripper. Insane in life and death, Skull Ripper could care less about masks. Instead, he decapitates anyone unfortunate enough to encounter him. He collects their skulls with his deadly dual-ended blade and keeps them as grisly trophies. Skull Ripper with his blade and chain Skull Ripper without any weapons Action pose The whole idea behind this MOC started out when I was building RolloutReviews' 2015 Akamai. I removed the eyestalks from the Toa heads to attach to the sword, and I imagined Kulta standing on a mound of those heads. The idea evolved from there into a new villain, and, seeing as Water didn't have a Skull villain, I made him blue. If you have any questions or want more pictures, I'll see what I can do. is this too dark? 4 Quote I been away a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millennium Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Neat. Using the feet as extra armor on the shoulders is a nice idea. The color scheme is a little lacking, IMO; also, he looks a little too bulky to fit well in the undead/skeletal theme. Can we have pics of the back and, in detail, of the skull mace? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkle Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I've removed some armor and added some bone pieces. I'll get pictures of the back and weapons. EDIT: Here they are: New, improved Skull Ripper. Lower arms and legs replaced with bone pieces, Toa feet replaced with Protector feet. The gear function still works The maces are made up of a head attached to a 3-long blue pin, which is then (loosely) connected to a chain piece. The end of the maces take a leaf from Skull Slicer's book. Edited August 29, 2015 by Bonkle Quote I been away a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millennium Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Well, I don't mean to sound annoying, but now his legs look too skinny to support all the weight of the body. Maybe if you switched the bone pieces from the lower legs to upper legs, and kept the shins bulky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuragaNuva Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I really like the way you've armored the torso (the feet on the shoulders, the chest armor layering). The color scheme looks really good, though just a hint of red somewhere might bring it out more. Oh, and I agree with EI-P: the legs looked better before you changed them. Also, would it work better to attach the skull to the chain with one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
