He is ready to dance the night away.I'm having some fun just building MOCs based off of the BZP peeps I've made over the years. It was kind of just a quick goof thing at first (Smeag, B6), but then I built a MOC for Tufi (I'll get photos eventually), and now here's a Janus. I've got three others in various states of mid-build. None of these are super "serious" MOCs, more just fun case studies in the usual humanoid builds. This one (Janus) was meant to kind of represent the whole "2003/4" style of humanoid build popular in our community (and also because lol I think that's the last time Rob built something), but updated with modern sensibilities and techniques- not to mention part selection. I also wanted to see how far into the action figure "look" I could achieve, which basically makes it the exact opposite of the aesthetic spectrum when it comes to parts use that I built Sarge and even Catwoman on. I keep looking at this one on the shelf and thinking it reminds me of some weird Gundam/Digimon/CartoonNetwork show toy. Which I guess means mission accomplished?I played around with some staff designs or a big axe, but in the end I couldn't find anything but the stowed-swords-as-armoured-"wings" look I liked for the MOC.Probably not entirely apparent in the photos, but this MOC has a different shoulder connection than I've used before, and it allows for the MOC to do things such as shrug his shoulders. Which is neat, I suppose.Knees bend, but the studio backdrop was refusing to sit level and I got tired of trying to get a photo of him at midnight on that not-level surface without the photo looking bad so whatever. You get a back shot. Be happy with what you get! Angle of the photos tends to squat him down a bit, he's actually pretty lanky. I tried to take photos from a lower angle to make him look a but more devious, but it only made him look fat. C'est la vie.Feet are supposed to be cloven hooves, sometimes I look over and think they look awesome, other times I hate them. They will not be changed, because seriously, me update a MOC after posting it? Not likely. But per the usual, ideas and suggestions get worked into future things. | | | |

So Becca and I like to do voices. Stupid voices, the stupidest voices. We also like BIONICLE. Somehow this ended up with us reading BIONICLE comics (The original ones, you whippersnappers!) in said stupid voices--and for some unearthly reason recording it. So if you've lost all will to live, read along with us by using this handy-dandy .PDF version of Comic 1 Then click on this link (Or right click and save as, if you're crazy) and let us destroy your feeble mind.

Seriously. Janus is one of the coolest people ever, and it was awesome bonding with him today. After meeting him for the first time and talking to him for a long time, he is now definitely one of the people I respect the most. And now, time for bed... ~ Velox
