Blackstar

[InvaderZeta]

Name: BlackstarSpecies: UnknownAge: UnknownGender: Presumably maleElement: EarthBackstory: Blackstar wasn't created by natural means. An ancient and unique gem buried deep in a once habitable stretch of land (Now a desert) spontaneously sent out bursts of electromagnetic waves, drawing in old pieces of machinery and armor. These were all clumped together around the gem, and Blackstar was created (Basically Blackstar at heart is just a bunch of gems, but connected to the brain in the head it pulled in, it was able to be a living and thinking rock inside the shell of a body it created).After some time Blackstar dug up to the surface, and wandered trying to find any sign of life. One unique ability of Blackstar is his access to his brain. He has access to 100% of it. Although the brain once belonged to a beast, Blackstar is able to learn quickly and effectively through observation. The first time Blackstar encountered a civilized population, he acted like an animal. Then through watching how the townspeople acted, he soon was able to become one of them, think and talk like an advanced creature.Blackstar's element is Earth, but he doesn't control it directly. He can "feel" the ground, like a sixth sense. The biggest use of this ability is to detect where the ground is soft, and where it is hard. This makes it easier for him to dig.After living among Matoran, Toa, Turaga, et cetera, on the surface, Blackstar was informed that there were underground cities. He currently helps and protects these cities, living as one of their citizens.

A MOC I made for a contest on a site elsewhere. Decided to post here in hope to get feedback.

This MOC has a nice design, and I like the parts usage, but there are some thin spots that need to be bulked up.

[eyeofchaos]

what did you use for the head?

[FrozenFlash]

Now, this is an awesome MOC. The claws are really nicely done but the top of the legs could be bulkier. By the way, is that a tail or a huge spike on the back?

[Sejuani]

The upper legs are wayyyy to thin, but looking past that, this is an epic MOC.

Now this guy is just so... ferocious. Man, he looks like he'd leap on you , bite you and slash you with those claws. So much character, I tell you.Other than that, the colours are one of the best combinations I've seen. The poses are all magnificent, the whole MOC is just amazing. The skinny upper legs look very good IMO, especially in contrast to the bulky lower legs.

This MOC looks like what might've happened to a Skrall that came in contact with EP during the Core War. Very cool design!-Ced

I really like the head and arm design. However, the upper legs are a bit thin.

The Ultimate Dume helmet from the 2004 titan combo set.

It's not a tail, but... not really a spike? I guess it's a spine, character-wise. Design-wise it fit perfectly for keeping the spheres from falling out in the back, and it connects the hip piece so eeeh, didn't worry too much about the character purpose behind it. Edited May 21, 2012 by InvaderZeta
