Self MOC: https://youtu.be/YqSEo6aNPsg

Made a small video to display my self MOC. I did try and fix the legs.

>.>

<.<

Callan x Cossy

That's the exact same build my cousin uses on his Self-MOC, visible in both his and my comics. Just saying, nice instructional video, but a really old and already-well-known technique.

Oh, oops ^^" I'll probably try something better next time

Good vid, you pretty much left no questions asked (from me, anyways).

 

Very explanatory, I approve (which isn't saying much but ya know...)

Thanks and thank you for commenting. I might do a gap filling trick for my next vid

Considering that you're just starting out, this is a decent video, but in my opinion, I don't like using a size three axles and connecting it to the axle holes on the side, it makes the head jut out awkwardly. You could use a size two axle and place it in the middle joint, it makes it work with kanohi that attach via an axle and the head doesn't stick out when it's not supposed to.

Heh, I've tried that. It works well too, though it makes the head appear too high ^^"

 

 

I have my studio set up to post my first Bionicle MOC vid.

I'll be posting a quick one on how to attach Mata Heads to the Gen 2 bodies. Just as a starter

I normally use the rubberband method when attaching those heads to G2 bodies. What will you be showing? :3

 

Also, I just finished my self-MOC and got done with a side character in my comic series. Gonna be working on my friend's self-MOC soon too. X3

The vids posted Bionicle Head Moc:

I wanted to make a short quick video to start off. I think the vid worked pretty well. I hope it's okay

Bionicle:

•CallanLOF (Kinda Ben Cossy too)

•iiBionicle

•thethreevirtues

Non-Bionicle:

•Nostalgia Critic

•Mumford and Sons

•The Fray

I have a YouTube too, I'll be posting MOC vids eventually. Carum Sarene

None. Even if they were in the original Bionicle building system I still wouldn't purchase them. In my opinion Star Wars characters don't look good in build-able action figure systems.

 

 

 

Jar Jar Binks. But make it that his pieces never stay together.

Hahahaha! Now that would be a good reason to purchase him.

Though I think every Star wars fan would end up confiscating every Jar Jar set and burn them in a wicker man before we would get a chance to buy it.

The arm gaps are so the elbows can bend relatively far. There's not really any way to close that up without restricting mobility. There used to light blue eyes, but I lost my 1x1 light blue stud, so I had to find a different color.

You can fill gaps with the rubber covers on ear buds.

(If I'm allowed to post here?)

Self Moc: Caressa

http://i.imgur.com/54jedh3.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/MbeNZAu.jpg

Name: Caressa

Type: Toa

Element: Plantlife

Personality: INFP, Caring, Motherly, Affectionate

Mask: Makaya - Mask of Healing

Weapon(s): Dagger

Tool(s): Staff, Sickle

Elemental Powers: Plantlife

Weaknesses:

•Passive, nonaggressive

•Cannot use abilities well when severed from my environment.

•Much recharge after each healing session.

Backstory: Caressa started as a simple Bo-Matoran living in Karda-Nui. When the great being fell into his deep sleep, Caressa fled into the protodermis sea, slowly floating towards Metru-Nui as the fluid slowly changed the young matoran into a toa.

Arriving on Metru-Nui, Caressa learned the toa powers she possessed. Not just to control Plantlife, but to heal creatures and structures of injury.

Meeting the toa Hordika, Caressa healed them of any injuries the Hordika received from the Visorak, in exchange they keep Caressa's influence mum. She detested the spotlight of stories.

Caressa continued to live in Metru-Nui as the time passed. When the Matoran, Turaga, and Toa returned to Metru-Nui, Caressa again assisted in returning Metru-Nui to its glory.

When the great spirit reawoke, Caressa was overjoyed, and when the Makuta attacked she protected the matoran at all costs. One named Kalena even standing by the Toa's side. The two becoming instant companions since.

Jar Jar Binks. But make it that his pieces never stay together.

 

 

 

 

 

I saw yours. It looks very good.

Thank you

 

And a matoran companion sounds nice. Maybe we can make matoran companions a thing with Plantlife Toa

I was thinking of making a Chronicler's Company-esque group of Matoran, plus a couple extra Toa, to make a resistance team of sorts.

Well I'll be posting a how-to post on building my toa. It'll include how I create the palette, so maybe you can find use for it

I got surfboards on mine... pretty kule. :3

Nice :3

 

 

 

 

Dude Gunhaver Nuva has a Le-Koro Windflyers shirt. It looks really good.

Sorry to go off topic but I'm thinking about getting Le-Koro or Ko-Koro first...

 

 

...the first out of all of them...

Of all of them, I actually like the Po-Koro one the most.

 

EDIT: I just realized that "Kolhii" is spelled wrong on the Le-Koro one.

Treespeak is a difficult dialect for some to interpret

I figure we name our teams based on the cultural focus of the towns we represent.

Philadelphia Carvers

Pittsburgh Mask Makers

New York Firespitters

 

 

♪Spiders! A Giant Legion of Spiders!♪

Anyway, great find. I never thought to make this connection.

Now to Photoshop Greg's face to Dr. Smith and we'll be set

I'll see if I can't get some actual technic in there, fill in some gaps. I'll admit my technic selection is not large, and I've got little to no experience with custom limbs.

 

But, I suppose there's a first time for everything, yeah?

 

Thanks for your feedback!

No problem! I love making MOClets, experiments to see what works and how pieces fit together. Always a fun way to pass time.

I saw yours. It looks very good.

Thank you

And a matoran companion sounds nice. Maybe we can make matoran companions a thing with Plantlife Toa

The waist articulate is a nice touch. However, the body does have a lankiness and is very gappy.

To fix this, try working on the body one part at a time rather than the entire thing at once. Look at all the tahu versions to see how the body should work. Don't just rely on CCBS, try to find a way to meld Technic, Bionicle, and CCBS together in a way that gives a more natural look.

I'll start on that staff soon, guys. Don't you worry. I would have my sketches up, but my printer is being weird and I can't scan for some reason.

Good luck ^v^

I'll be trying to change jobs, then once I can get less hours I'll start hosting my own games

Thanks for the comments! When it comes to making a color scheme, I prioritize what colors are more important. Then pre-assign which colors go where. I'll switch out the gold armor, sure. Though I'll just update this post instead of making another revamp thread.

The reason the bones for the legs are solid black is because I needed long pieces which I only have in black.

In fact, the lower arms where originally meant to be black too, but I changed them to trans green to represent the elemental energy flowing into the hands.

Deep in the jungles of Spherus Magna, Caressa returned to her hut from the long trek to the Eastern Agori tribes. The air was quiet and dark, lit only by the fireflies and the lantern perched above the Toa's doorway. Entering inside, she saw Kalena perched in the center of the room, clinging to her staff in protection.

"Kalena, what are you doing?" Caressa sighed, smiling at the small matoran. Kalena's wide eyes looking back;

"I-I was protecting your home..." Kalena yawned.

"How long have you been keeping watch?"

"Hours..."

Caressa sat next to Kalena and cradled the young one in her arms.

"You need rest, young one." Caressa smiled, Kalena returned with a yawn.

"But I'm not tired... Toa don't sleep..."

Caressa knew that continuing the debate would lead to ceaseless arguing, and so decided to sing her lullaby:

♪"Through the forests we walk, our hands holding tight.

Don't worry of shadows, for I'll be your light.

I'll be your comfort, your warmth in the cold.

Just give me your love, I'll hold onto your soul."♪

Caressa continued to sing, the song reminding her of her time as a matoran. The Av-Matoran who sang this song to her now long gone. Her tears dropped onto Kalena as Caressa rocked her in her arms. The young matoran now fast asleep.

"I'm never letting go."

He looks very nice. I just recently revamped mine. Our MOCs can go on an adventure

I'll be a toa. I already have elemental powers so being a toa would come easy to me

A proper critique isn't just about saying bad things about something. It has to be a balance of both good and bad views. For each bad thing you point out, you must either note a good thing or give advice or suggestions on how to improve. Otherwise your critique will be seen as hate and pose no value to either to original poster or the other viewers.

This is a great moc, especially for the size. It isn't easy to make Bionicle figures of that scale but you did great. If the hands look too big, a Y-Joint is always good. Here, the hands look a little disproportionate. Not enough to throw the model off, but it is a nitpick to the more detail oriented. Other than that, you did well. I wish you good luck in the challenge.
