Sappholopod Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) In Okoto Legend, there is said to be a being who could make what was dreamed into reality, he walked the dreamscape of Okoto's people, draped in golden skin. He was drawn to those with fierce desire, and would grant one wish in exchange for passage to our world. He could commit great miracles, but by the same hand, great atrocities as well. He was sealed again long ago, by the Mask Makers themselves! One can only hope he has stayed there since... Gallery!!

Alucia Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 This is one of the best representations of this thing that I have seen. Very nice. I really like the layered look of the armor and the almost facial hair type appendiges on the face.Looking foreword to seeing the gallery. 1 Quote Back from the darkness (will update soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infrared Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It can be hard to make things look organic in CCBS, but you really nailed it here. I'm really impressed at the way all the armor pieces flow into each other, especially around the hips--it makes it feel like skin instead of armor. The head completes that weird reptilian look. If you don't mind me asking, where'd you get that black Quaza spike from? I don't think I've seen it before. If I had to offer a suggestion, I'd recommend changing out the gold Breakout torso piece for something else, since the mechanical detailing on it feels out of place with the rest of the MOC. Great job, good luck! 1 Quote Helryx BS01 / Flickr Makuta, Master of Nothing (The Legend Continues) / 3D Printed Nuva Cube / Okoto font!

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Not at all how I imagined him, but the MoC itself is very fluid looking and well built. 1 Quote A RUDE AWAKENING - A Spherus Magna redo | Tzais-Kuluu | Pushing Back The Tide | Last Words | Black Coronation | Blue Man Bound | Visions of Thasos ن We are all but grey specks in a dark complex before a single white light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sappholopod Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Good News! The Gallery is Here! This is one of the best representations of this thing that I have seen. Very nice. I really like the layered look of the armor and the almost facial hair type appendiges on the face.Looking foreword to seeing the gallery. Thank you very much! I thought the hair was a neat touch. Kind of adds a dash of black to break up the gold. Almost wish I stuck with the chest hair now. Ah well! It can be hard to make things look organic in CCBS, but you really nailed it here.

Great job, good luck! Thank you! I'm really proud of how organic I seem to make things, it's a common compliment. It's Black/Lime, from the Crystal Beast set from Invasion from Below. I think you're spot on with that criticism, but alas, I only have one of the classic torso pieces in gold. Not at all how I imagined him, but the MoC itself is very fluid looking and well built. He's a little apart from how I imagined him too, but I did have to make do with what I had available. I really wanted to give him the gold Thok head ala Irnakk. I'm glad you like him regardless!

Vrokorta Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It looks good but I can't see it as a skakdi. 1 Quote If you use correct grammar in your posts (or try hard to), place this in your signature.

Chath Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 This rendition is incredible! I'd say the Gold Skinned Being is probably one of the biggest open ends in the story (at least on my mind), and I've always wanted some official form of physical representation so I could at least picture how it might act. At least with Marendar we know exactly what it wants/wanted to do. This guy, however, is... Well, mysterious. Overall, I love the consistencty in the body and colors, while it feels bulky it also feels naked, if that makes any sense. The face in general just looks really well done, when I first saw it, it reminded me of a demonic mask of creation from gen2 haha. But this is an incredible MoC, with my only complaint probably being the upper legs. While I like the design, they seem kinda... Well, they seem a bit too thin based on the feet and upper body, but I'm not sure if this is just a personal viewpoint or an actual criticism yet. I don't even know if anything could be done to keep the whole thing in proportion, anyway. I know this was long, sorry, but thank you for this awesome interpretation of an otherwise unknown character! 1 Quote Dude I am literally just a fart More soon maybe? We'll see...

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Excellent interpretation of this set-less character. Captures the reptilian look yet looks grand and well-built like it is supposed to. Fantastic detail from all angles. The head really stands out in its originality and use of smaller pieces. Really dig this moc. -NotS Edited February 23, 2015 by Nidhiki of the Shadows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sappholopod Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 It looks good but I can't see it as a skakdi. The "Skakdi Fusion" had more dudes in it than just Skakdi, but I also don't have that gold Thok spine I so wanted to use. This rendition is incredible!

I know this was long, sorry, but thank you for this awesome interpretation of an otherwise unknown character! Thanks! Honestly all the descriptions of him sounded like he was nude the entire time, which is weird for a series that doesn't usually concern itself with clothing, but helps make him out to be this statuesque godlike figure. Yeah, thickening thighs is probably one of my biggest conundrums with the CCBS right now. There's no easy, immediate answer to it. In this case, I think making the thighs thicker wouldn't work too well, they're too short for it to not look awkward. Excellent interpretation of this set-less character.
