Studs Not On Top

I think I just fell in love with that bow.

 

 

 

 

 

....anyway, onto the rest of the MOC. I like the torso; it's very streamlined and it definitely has the good proportions that you were going for. I especially like the addition of the tiny Hero Core; excellent parts usage. I'm not so much of a fan of the back, though; in comparison to the front of the torso, the back seems a bit flat and unexciting, and I'm kind of iffy on using the Mahiki in that particular area, even though it isn't as bad as some other stuff I've seen. As for the legs, while I do like how you've incorporated that thigh armour, I don't really like the foot design; they look like they should be longer. On the whole, though, I like it! Very sleek and overcomplicated- exactly what it should be.

Thanks for the feedback. Some areas still need work! I'm building a variation of this bow with an HF zamor launcher.

Can we get a picture of her skeleton I'm curious to how she's built.

Sure. I don't know how to provide the LDD file for download but I hope these pictures help:

This is wonderful. I love the shaping and proportioning, especially with the clever placement of the Brain Attack helmet and the Mahiki. The Stormerang bow is pretty solid too. I can't wait to see more of your MOCS! 

This is incredible! For those who don't know, Breez is pretty much my favourite HF character, and this is the best fan-rendition I've ever seen of her! The build is sleek and great to look at, The colour scheme is solid, the detail is great, and that Bow-type weapon is just fantastic. I don't think I can like this enough.

Glad you like it! I always like discovering new ways to use pieces. Breez had great character development in the movies, and her set forms were pretty cool. I'd like to make other heroes if I have the spare parts.

Great job creating a streamlined, feminine design without any of the usual gags. What a great model!

Thanks! She'll be a good template for future female toa.

      I think Hero Factory reached its peak in 2012 with "Breakout". We got some of the coolest and most cohesive designs for heroes and villains. It seemed like TLG went all out on the weapons, gadgets, and armor. I wanted to stick to that style when creating a Breez better suited for street-level bagging and tagging. Rocka was a big influence for her gear.
 

      I've also been trying to get more accurate proportions with good articulation. Most of Breez's ball joints work well, but I need to fix some areas.

      Thanks for looking!

This is honestly pretty cool looking, but I've no money now that I'd be willing to spend on anything

Im not interested in buying it really, but nice paint job!

Thank you both! I appreciate the feedback-- this is all an experiment to see if my work would sell, so I'm not too concerned.

Hello, everyone! I haven't been on BZP in so long, but I'm back with something you might be interested in. This is a repaint of Mata Tahu, done in acrylics with a transparent varnish. The paint should hold up, but this figure is really meant for display only. It would make a great addition to your collection!

As always, thanks for looking.

This is starting to bug me, too. What you've got, Aanchir, looks really good, and could work for most sets. I suggest building some upper body armor and attaching the shortest limb joint (angled up) on the crotch ball. From here you've got an exposed ball to work with; it at least hides that torso gap.

Great news! I was getting worried. Hoping Zane will have a double-printed head! The figure in his eyes could be the new enemy. Zane himself might have no more importance than any other Ninja, I think they just used his face for graphic appeal.

Isn't 2014 the year we supposedly get a new minifigure mold?

I figured I would never buy a Bionicle set after the Kaxium a couple years ago, but I joyfully stumbled upon Kohrak at a flee market. He's complete, with canister but without instructions, and is in mint condition-- like the owner had put him together once and stored him for ten years. I did feel sorry for the little guy; and for $1 USD how could I not pass him up?

Hmm....Very nice, though it would have been great to have her actually made of legitimate pieces. That is my only complaint. You did exellent with her form, pose, and the perspective.

I have to say this is a wonderful representation of Breez! Especially because I had the same disappointment when finding her set in store: she looks as beef as any other male HF hero...But this. Oooh: THIS is how should she have been! XD I love the details you added to her arms, back, head-- everywhere! And I am certainly impressed by the fact it was all done on paper. (as I all my art is terrible unless I have my magical computer to draw on) Also, as said; her colors are delicious. I've personally always favored that lime kiwi green hue. And then most importantly; she looks so very like a girl. Well done indeed! :)And it here I usually put my critiquing, but I honestly can't find anything to critique... So, I'll just say it again: well done indeed!Hope to see more art from you.

It's nice! You do put her in a lovely stance; the colour and mechanical configurations are nice touch too.

Thank you, I felt she deserved it!HF is notorious for bright color schemes, especially on the Heroes. It's a nice symbol of good and justice and all that.

Very nice line art, you should ink and color it! You've made a solid body similar to the movie Rahkshi, which is a nice alternative to the gappy sets.Teridax is great, too, I like the pose!

Breez finally came to the U.S., and I'm so happy I got her! The only thing that bugged me was her parts-- identical to everyone else's, which didn't set her aside from the male Heroes. I dediced to draw her how I'd really like her as a set:http://www.flickr.co...N05/7688497908/C&C welcome!

While we're still technically in the Winter wave, I thought I'd post my Reapa repaint. I don't think it needs its own topic, because there's only this picture and not much else to say. All in acrylic.http://www.brickshel...apa/reapa_2.jpgDo not post images larger than 500 kB. -B6Sorry about that...

I can't believe how simple it is-- a great shape with very few pieces. Looks like it recoils from every shot. Nice job!

Great job on this MOC! I've never seen Kanoka used as wheels, and here they fit perfectly with the shape of the legs. The torso looks pretty solid. His weapon is awesome, though it'd be hard to stay balanced with more weight on his right side.I'm wondering too, do the Kanoka roll?

Thanks both of you-- replies like these definitely help me shape my MOCing abilities.The shoulders are how they are for posability purposes-- That shoulder armor would rub up against the shoulder itself at normal spacing. The secondary color is black; I went with these colors because Halia isn't meant to look like a water Toa, as she's going into hiding. I'll work on the shapes now, but my small collection of spare parts is getting smaller. Thanks again!You're right, the shoulders look much better now:http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Cusall/MOCs/Bionicle/OrderOfMataNui/Halia/dsc00208.jpg

This was especially hard-- I loved the HF building of #2 but had to go with #6.I like the poll title! Anyone else recognize the name? Hint-- Marvel character.

Wow, great coherent look on this robot. Solid build, everything looks like it fits. Pretty cool that it's a mirror image of itself-- you should put another eye in the back of its head!

That is such a cool idea. I've seen a lot of life-sized, wearable weapons and masks, but this is actually based off an existing mold. Great job on the accuracy, You should try out the other Mata tools!

Sometimes too much silver ruins a set. Here, too much silver makes it look awesome! Glad it's one consistent shade, too. This could work out as an attack drone like you see in the HF games.

Like the weapons! And you don't really see MoCs with a Volitak that fits that well.

Thanks, it took two hours to work out, so I'm glad it worked. As soon as I read that I thought of an alternative; I'll work on that now. Thank you!
