Elrond of Rivendell Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 One of the best robot mocs I have ever seen. I love the build of the feet and the cyclops eye. My only criticism is that the legs are a little bit thin. Also, the body reminds me of strakk, which dosen't bring good memories to me. All in all, I'll give it a 9/10-The Bane Quote Gentlemen, it's time to spread the word. And the word is: Panic life is not a question of how long we live, but what we do with the life we haveBZRPG profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the legs being thin I see them as being agil and powerfull, but to each his/hers own. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzy Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Tear those ghastly arms off and bury them in the depths of wherever your store your bricks. Everything the legs have going for them - nice bulk distribution, good flow, aesthetic form - are completely lacking from the arms. The odd forward-facing sockets for them aren't doing you any favours either. Perhaps you could even trade them to a blind person for the pieces to make a second pair of those legs (similar to them at least, can't be identical) and turn that robot into a horse. Possibly a robohorse. You can do something else with the body later. You can also fix the hooves once it's a horse to remove the ugly extraneous spurs on the heels.A lot of purists will give you flak for using rubber bands and what are presumably cut sections of tube, but I fully support their use when done subtly as you've done here. I will give you flak for using that blue pin to hold that eye in - it does nothing for you, and ruins the complementary purple/yellow accent scheme you have going on above the greyscale. I hope you at least tried using grey, black, white or tan before settling on this. Is there anyway you can put a 1x1 round brick in the front of that wheel? I ask because blue must die and you need to fit that yellow in a bit more. It's giving you a bit of a splash on the arms, but you're not taking full advantage of it. Especially because having the only colour scheme-appropriate accent drawing attention to one of those arms is a travesty. Work it into the head and body of this or of robohorse.-Elzy Edited February 7, 2012 by Elzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the arms go I plan on changing them, as many people have had a similar concern to yours. So stay tuned for the updated pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
