Ooooooh, pretty Cags!

Erm, should I say... hard core instead?

But no, seriously, it's super. At least the upper torso/head/arms are. The legs are meh in my opinion; they just don't seem to fit into the rest of the MoC. Looking a the bulkiness of the upper torso, the feet seem abnormally small...

Colors are <3 though! Nice dark blue armor usage.

~GBG~

Correctly, Sunneh. It's correctly.

~GBG~

Yay! You blogged!

@ pic: preeeety!

@ anomaly: nice name change, and I hope to see ya around more often!

~GBG~

*pushes the dancing dude to keep trying!*

Come on buddy! You can do it! Even if you can't build something absolutely amazing in the time we're given, at least enter.

~GBG~

As superb as it looks, won't the proportions push him over the 2 foot limit? I mean, those legs have got to be a foot long by themselves! I'm sure you'll manage it though! It looks excellent, by the way!

 

~GBG~

You're not thinking with normal proportions. Human legs are about twice as long as the torso, so that's only 18" + 1-3" for the head.

I guess you're right (as usual, with proportions) I've never thought of it that way really...

It is via a website which (unfortunately) cannot be named here on BZPower, due to forums and stuff...

~GBG~

He is risen indeed!

The same to you!

~GBG~

DV, my respect for you has just grown. It is great to find a brother in the Faith and one which has a heart to help others (not to mention crazy good MoCing skills). I just want to say that I hope and pray the best for ya in your life.

If you are interested, google "Dollar for a Drink", take a look around the site (specifically the About page, and see if you can find my connection with the organization), and I would love to know what you think. I know that you are interested in helping others who need it, and just perhaps this might be an outlet.

If all else fails, customize a Phankuta torso.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

 

Use System for either armour or interior working, NOT both. Make sure to use, say, only one color for the armour pieces and something contrasting for the interior. Simply slapping Bionicle pieces together won't give it the sense of layering that makes it robot-like. Also Bionicle stuff is better for internals, it's got too many little details in each part to make a surface that looks armoured.

Erm...

Sorry to disappoint ya Cags, but I've got a double Phantoka torso going here...

Personally though, I like the result.

Sadly, one of my weakest areas of MoCing is large custom torsos (one thing which you have a great gift for)

We'll just have to see how it turns out, okie dokie?

As to the color layering and making it look "robotic" and all, I haven't seen that many robot movies, so I'm at a bit of a disadvantage. The coloring thing I might be able to do a bit of, but we'll see...

~GBG~

While I love the concept, my first thought on seeing it though are that it's legs are way too long.

They look proportionate for a human to me.

 

*debates whether or not he should enter*

 

BtB

They're actually just a teensy bit on the short side, but yeah, human proportions.

Ah, I see. I guess that it's just the hyper skinny-ness of some parts of him that make him appear... stretched.

But no, seriously, the skinny-ness is a good thing me thinks.

Also, the smallness of the head throws off the proportions as well, but I'm sure when you get arms on him it'll sort itself out. I do think he needs a different color eye though... orange perhaps?

I am looking forward to seeing the arms!

~GBG~

Very nice Cags! It's lookin' great.

While I love the concept, my first thought on seeing it though are that it's legs are way too long. However, I know that this is necessary, so it's ok (and the look is growing on me).

I do like the new leg design; it looks a ton better than the old one.

Oh, and I really, really like the head. Can you turn it? Also, is there waist articulation in there? I can't detect any.

~GBG~

I know the feeling man. I've got it at the moment for the lower torso...

Arg. >_<

~GBG~

I <3 Firefox!

Thanks for pointing those personas to us. I'm using "Firefox Simple" at the moment, though I will probably change from time to time!

~GBG~

That looks fantastic Zip!

If it's one thing I'm bad at, it's custom torsos made completely out of smaller pieces (i.e. not built around existing torsos)

I can't wait to see the final MoC!

Edit: one question though: where will the canisters fit?

~GBG~

I think 55555 is correct.

~GBG~

How could I forget Arpy and Bunda? Adding them to my list...

~GBG~

Sounds nice. What will the subject matter be?

As to judges...

I would say:

Chocolate Frogs

What?

.:Toa Velox:.

CzaR

Roa McToa

Bundalings

Arpy

I would say DV and ToM, but I doubt they would have the time...

I mentioned those that I did because they are very good at giving an honest review in which they will not be biased towards anyone. Also, I would suggest that you shouldn't do any judging, seeing as you are the host.

~GBG~

Aw! You shouldn't have changed colors just for me!

I can't wait to see the final result! The way mine's proportions are working out, it looks like it's gonna be a little over a foot tall...

Also, I thought that swords were discouraged?

~GBG~

In the absence of Bar-B-Que sauce, absolutely yes.

~GBG~

Lucky.

You'd better come up with what you need quick though! We've got like only two weeks... :annoyed2:

~GBG~

Welcome back to normal!

~GBG~

*gives a hearty pat on the back*

Congratz!

It took me a while too...

~GBG~

Very sleekish and smooth!

Not really sure you want that....

Meh, yeah. It's kindof a combo of both really... :/
