JohannDakitsch Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) My entry for the new contest! Its a representation of the Zodiac sign, and also the beginning of a series I plan to carry on troughout this year. Gallery; http://www.flickr.com/photos/johanndakitsch/sets/72157632784879869/with/8481586755/ NOTE: I forgot to add the "6" on the contest's name on the title, but I can't find a way to edit it in... Hope there's no problem with that. Edited February 18, 2013 by JohannDakitsch Quote The night is dark and full of terrors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickPharaoh Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 This is so much win!! I particularly like how you built the head, and the weapon is muy fantastico! Only two qualms with it though;1- Torso is a bit on the small side2- Hooves are also a bit bland... What you could've possibly done was to use one of the 2012 armor shells (such as the round-ish one on Evo's shoulder or the one on Bulk's knees).Great MOC, nonetheless... Best of luck!!!

Aanchir Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Very nice design. The parts on the legs mesh together nicely, despite some somewhat distracting contrast between the White Hero Factory shells, the Metallic White Rahkshi feet, and the Light Stone Grey Piraka shells. The posture is very unique, and yet despite its complexity and the small surface area of the hooves, the figure can balance pretty effectively (helped by the axe/club/staff).The shape of the horns is a wonderful detail. I also like the hooves, claws, and well-organized textures (with mainly framework-like textures for the Dark Red elements and smoother textures for most of the White elements). Great work overall, and good luck in the contest! Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torso is a bit small indeed, but I personally kinda liked the odd proportion. As for the hooves, I didn't want to use the HF shells, they would be too big and exxagerated, and I wanted something closer to real Ram hooves. Very nice design.

Great work overall, and good luck in the contest! Thank you! I see what you mean about the whites, they are indeed an issue I never quite got around... As for standing, it actually can stand without the staff as support, its just a bit harder. Edited February 17, 2013 by JohannDakitsch Quote The night is dark and full of terrors...

Hitoshura Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 That's impressive. I like the leg armor, the hands, and the weapon. Maybe some feet would be nice to see, or are those hooves? Anyway, good luck. Quote profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
