Hello, everyone! FLY-2502 MOSQUID by Space Sea Inc. The "squidest" mech ever built.
-
Yes, it's Bionicle Cthulu! Actually, no it isn't. This is Teuthix, a giant humanoid squid Rahi. Nothing like Cthulu at all, really. Teuthix was a large squid-like humanoid Rahi that lived in the murky depths beneath Ga-Metru. It could react violently if provoked, and was known to lash out with its tentacles at Matoran who disturbed it. However, it was also willing to aid the forces of good in much the same way that Keetongu was. Following the defeat of Makuta Teridax, Teuthix left the Matoran Universe to live in the Great Ocean of Spherus Magna.

Hello BZPower, and sorry I have not been on lately. I have been very busy with the end of school, scouts and work. However, I also recently got Splatoon for Wii U, and it is amazing. You may have seen its cheesy commercials, but the game is tons of fun. I've been playing it almost all the time I am free. Here some backstory about Splatoon for those who don't know. Splatoon is a post-apocalyptic shooter set 12,000 years in the future. Humans are extinct, and many sea creatures are now land creatures. One type of squid has evolved very far into a humanoid creature known as Inklings. They can turn back into squids, as most of their body is full of ink. Teenage Inklings compete in a sport much like modern-day paintball known as Turf Wars. They use a variety of ink-based weaponry, like ink guns and giant paint rollers, to cover as much ground as possible with their team's ink. The Inklings can only use their weapons in humanoid form, but can turn into squid form to quickly travel through their ink and climb up walls. Two teams of four duke it out for three minutes, and when the time is up, a cat named Judd decides the winning team. Their are other varieties of this sport, and Inklings all over the city gather to play. I love the game, and a few days after I got the game, I decided to make MOCs of the Boy and Girl Inkling and use their amiibos as a basis. Several weeks later, I have finished making them both, but sadly I lack a good camera so I had to use my 3DS. The quality is pretty bad, and doesn't do the models much justice. I hope you all enjoy them nonetheless. Inkling Girl. Inkling Girl with amiibo. Inkling Girl amiibo pose. Inkling Boy. Inkling Boy with amiibo. Don't forget your Splattershot at home, kids squids. A side-by-side comparison of the two. Amiibo and MOC comparison. I built the Inkling Girl first, and she took much longer to build. The tentacle hair was a bit difficult, and so was finding enough parts in the right colors. However, some of the parts were other colors because Mixel joints don't exist in tan yet, and I don't have other hinges and joints in the needed colors. I built her in segments, as you can see in this picture. The proportions were very hard to get correct, and I had to restart several times. The Inkling Boy was much easier to make. I built him second, and used the girl's build as blueprints. They share most of their design, apart from details like the head and shoes. However, he is more sturdy than the girl because I managed to fit a few small design improvements in. I built him in segments also. LINK The ponytail was surprisingly difficult to make. Here is the link to the gallery, where you can see some other poses and angles of the MOCs. It might not be public yet, but I cannot change that. >>> GALLERY Finally, here is a close up of the Splattershot. Thanks for viewing, please leave comments, criticism and questions.

In the extremely popular RPG called Corpus Rahkshi, three Rahkshi recently became level three- Phogen, Exxan and Squid. I recently acquired a vacuum Kraata, and Exxan is a Rahkshi of Vacuum. Squid is my character. You can guess where this is going. Squid was built with the idea of making a sturdy, flexible, small Rahkshi of Chain Lightning. I think I succeeded. (Yes, I know he's missing a finger and his head is the wrong color, I don't own a silver Rahkshi head.) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RahkshiToa88/Bionicle/Corpus-Rahkshi/squid1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RahkshiToa88/Bionicle/Corpus-Rahkshi/squid2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RahkshiToa88/Bionicle/Corpus-Rahkshi/squid3.jpg Exxan is Roman Torchwick's character. He was built with the idea of making a Vaccum Rahkshi that used the normal Rahkshi back to contain the Kraata and had a proper Vacuum color scheme. This resulted in a Rahkshi that looked... okay, but somewhat disproportioned and unfinished looking. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RahkshiToa88/Bionicle/Corpus-Rahkshi/exxan1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RahkshiToa88/Bionicle/Corpus-Rahkshi/exxan2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RahkshiToa88/Bionicle/Corpus-Rahkshi/exxan3.jpg And here they are together, Squid telling Exxan about the lynch mob going after him. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RahkshiToa88/Bionicle/Corpus-Rahkshi/photo_on_12-20-14_at_10.52_am.jpg BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!! I took two short films of them spinning slowly so you can see them better! The only noise is the wood turning. They are titled "Squid spin" and "Exxan spin" and they're not working with a direct link. Click on the Bionicle folder to find them. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=RahkshiToa88 If anything doesn't work, let me know.

I was digging through my parts today and found both of my Kalmahs in quite bad shape. I looked up at my Kalmah poster, bravely shooting his "squid" at the viewer, and I knew what I was going to make today. My MOCing skills are pretty good, my photography... not so much. Anyways, here he is! Kalmah the Barraki warlord and weaponizer of squid! Kalmah was a fairly cool set because he was bulky and agile at the same time. I tried to keep this feel when building the MOC- giving him an armored, bulky look and still retaining the agile and lithe feel of a squid. Yeah, I gave him extra arms. A lot of the pictures on the Brickshelf folder don't have the arms since they get in the way a lot, and aren't that complex.

Flickr The Luminous Cuttlefish, spacecraft of the intrepid Teuthian pilot Squishy McSquiddles, with which McSquiddles explores the far reaches of the Gafflar Nebula.As I rarely build with System, and generally am pretty poor at System builds, many thanks to Peterlmorris of Flickr, whose cockpit boxes provided a great base for this fighter. :DAlso, Galaxy Squad sets are awesome and Warp Stinger probably has the most useful parts collection out of any set I've bought in years.Hopefully a new topic in SBC will draw more attention to this unfortunately sparse forum. ~B~
