Popular Post Rahkshi Lalonde Posted August 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Series 1 (you're on it)Series 2Series 3 SQURMISITESThe squishy Squrmisites love to lend a hand-or-similar-appendage to a friend in need. that is, when they aren't busy rolling in dirt or eating dead leaves in the rotting gardens they call home.Planar46 PiecesEven more willing to help than most Squirmisites, Planar may even try to help when you don't need any! But if you do, a body flatter than most mixels helps with those tight pinches! Doon54 piecesThe armor covered leader of the Squrmisites is always in the mood for a friendly greeting, though you might not want to shake hands with Doon's sharp tail claw.Sqeem50 piecesFull of energy and almost never standing still, Squeem is nearly always tied in a slipper knot! Lacking any actual hands, Sqeem's long tongue makes a sutible substitute.Squirmisite MAX PLUMBERNAUTSThe Plumbernauts are always trying to fix things, but their repairwork usually leaves it spewing water everywhere. (even if it didn't have any water in it to begin with.) They are always eager to explore, and have charted many parts of the underground sewers the live in.Schnozet49 piecesThe Slow-moving Leader of the Plumbernauts is very smart, but not well-liked by many other mixels. the constant drippy nose doesn't help much. Drizz72 piecesA shy and easily scared Mixel, Drizz is often found hiding away from every loud noise, even the sounds of the other Plumbernauts working. Floosh64 piecesThis high-pressure mixel is the Plumbernauts best defens against nixels. Floosh's arms are always ready to release masive bursts of water. great for defense, but not so fun at a party. Plumbernaut MAX BRANCH BUNCHA mixel tribe with a strong sense of order and safety, the Branch Bunch make and enforce a lot of weird rules for other mixels that walk into their forest. other mixels find them to be a bit stiff.Sequi66 piecesThinking itself taller than others around, Sequi is actually very short. don't say that around this mixel though, because a short temper and a pointy head are a painful mix. Snang73 piecesThe tallest and strongest, Snang can easily lift fallen logs and boulders, clearing a pat for smaller mixels. Though imposing in appearance, this mixel is actually quite gentle. Stomph58 piecesEverything's a joke to Stomph, a very funny one at that! If something's funny enough, Stomph will laugh and stomp up and down on three heavy feet.

Rahkshi Lalonde Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) It's great to hear Doon is well recieved, since Doon is actually my own personal favorite! c: also...

Akavakaku Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The Branch Bunch are very cool, although Snang looks a bit too big and Stomph a bit too small. Is either within the piece count range of real Mixel sets? Quote ( The bunny slippers hiss and slither into the shadows. ) -Takuaka: Toa of TimeWhat if the Toa you know best were not destined to be?

Is either within the piece count range of real Mixel sets? snang is yeah, defs too big, i'm trying to reduce that piece count (simplifiyng the feet for starters,) stomph is almost 60 pieces. so, while small in form, is within piece range, i think. :0 (i should also remember to make that Branch Bunch max sometime soon, haha. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 You could probably cut Snang's feet down to, I don't know, four pieces each?

I think Stomph is fine, even if he looks a bit stout at first glance. that's just what i was going to do, yeah! or, what i did, Snang is fixed, with a still rather high 73 pieces. (i couldn't remove any more.) the Branch Bunch MAX has also been added! (the old snang can be seen by putting "old" at the end of the current snang's filename.)

Chro Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Nice update.While the original foot design for Snang perhaps looked a bit better, this one looks more like something that would appear on an actual set, which I quite like considering the nature of this project.The BB Max is cool as well.

Kopekemaster Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 As others have said, Doon is incredible. It's making me wonder if it was inspired at all by the worm-like creatures in the homonymically-named Dune series.I'd say my favorites in the other tribes are Drizz and Stomph. All in all, this is a very creative lineup. What is the imaging software you used for it? They look very high-quality. Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)

All in all, this is a very creative lineup. What is the imaging software you used for it? They look very high-quality. i've been using POV-Ray, as suggested by a relative. (first using the LDD-to-POV converter) and, these are actually done at the lowest possible settings (haha, old computer.) so this is kinda a bare minimum to expect from it. as for Doon, i kinda went for sandworms, and sandworms in general. so i have no idea what similarities there may be. (though the name is definitely just a funny way of spelling "Dune") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopekemaster Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Oh. I have POV-Ray, but haven't really used it much (or in a while, at that). Nice, though.

Great Mask Of ???? Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 >not naming the Plumbernaut Schnozzle That aside, I'm very impressed with all these original Mixels. I especially like the Squirmisites, what with their amorphous-looking bodies and no clear (from what I can tell) design influences (like Drizz being an umbrella with water dripping off of it, Schnozet being a faucet, Floosh being pipes, or all the Branch Bunch being trees). 1 Quote Comics coming eventually: The Bionicles Try to Run A HouseUpcoming MOCs: Sir Lesovikk, New Tokotoru.Current MOCs: ROTF Ravage.Dead MOCs: The Tokotoru, this fire monster, this turtle.This topic.

Squirmisites are all worms! with Planar being a flatworm, Doon being a sandworm and Squeem being an earthworm (or generic "worm") it was really the first idea i got when the notion of a pink tribe entered my mind. :u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Windrider- Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 While Doon is undoubtedly a work of art (and one great reference), Drizz resembles a classic cartoon-y waterspout in a way that's totally endearing.I really like what you've done with the Mixel aesthetic here, and appreciate the challenge the form gives MOCists to overcome.

craafzhik Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 snang is probably my favorite out of all the normal mixels. my favorite tribe would also be the branch bunch. though my favorite mixel max is definitely the plumbernaut max.

Dallior Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Wow! Great job, dude! You should totally go for those next 3 Mixels!

Rahkshi Lalonde Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) hey, wow, could it be? it's a SERIES 2! O:(now the topic title is a lie. :u) Series 1Series 2 (you're on it)Series 3 NOISE GUYSThe energetic Noise Guys love to party, always rocking out in their echoing mountain halls. however, they don't seem to realize sometimes it's time to be more serious. Boomix69 piecesBoomix is a blast to have at an event, with endless energy and loads of wacky sounds. but also an extreme lack of understanding of what a "lowered voice" should be. Sondar49 piecesThe leader of the Noise Guys, Sondar is always alert and aware, with round dishes capable of seeing hearing things very far away! (more often, they're used for making awesome party beats.) Eardo60 piecesEardo is extremely sensitive to sound, upset greatly even by someone breathing a bit too loud. The booming beats of other Noise Guys, though, are no problem at all! AUTOCONSThe speedy Autocons just won't slow down! Roaring around the roads of their busy city, they drive circles around slower mixels. and nixels just can't keep up!Vvoom55 piecesOf all the fast Autocons, Vvoom is the fastest, rushing forward with no sign of slowing, ever! It can be quite hard to find a time when Vvoom is still enough to talk to.Weelz60 piecesWeelz can perform great skate tricks on those great big wheels, flipping and spinning with relative ease. Though when it comes to going in a straight line, Weelz is a little clumsy.Moturr58 piecesWhile lacking somewhat in speed, Moturr makes up in age and wisdom. Sitting in an old chair, telling tales of how it used to be... and falling asleep! As leader of the Autocons, Moturr helps keep he younger mixels on track. CAVALRITESWith a noble sense of justice and a brave heart, A cavalrite always does right! or, what they think is right anyway. watching for perils from the peaks of their iron fortress, this tribe enjoys nothing more than saving a friend in "need".Tonndre60 Pieces Sheld50 Pieces Slizor72 pieces Edited February 15, 2015 by Rahkshi Lalonde 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Minifig Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I had to go look up what Mixels were last night since I hadn't heard of them. I guess I've been out of the loop for a while. That being said, these seem to do a good job of capturing the essence of what the Mixels are. Out of the Squrmisites Doon is my favorite. Overall though, I think Schnozet has to be my favorite. The droopy snout is kind of cute and it reminds me of something else, although I can't place it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahi_Seeker Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 So are these guys actually buildable? Like do all of the parts exist in the colors shown?

Do you have a full parts listing somewhere for each? i'm faaairly certain doon, at least, is unfortunately unbuildable. a lot of the colors used: dark orange, titanium-metallic, all shades of purple or pink. just don't quite come in a lot of pieces. :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahkshi Lalonde Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) fiddlesticks! well, update: Due to LDD to POV being silly, renders will be a wee bit late. :0 but! i do have the final Noise Guy and two Autocons done, so. i'm not slacking off here. :u (also. thanks.) Update #2: eh, LDD screenshots okay with you guys? 'cause i didn't want to delay until the topic died or anything, and you can still see the designs okay. hopefully i can find the holdup soon.

Oggle??? piecesOggle has good vision, from all the eyes! but Oggle also likes to sneak around and look at other mixels things, if it isn't Oggle's business, Oggle makes it Oggle's business. ThulosThere is not yet a picture of Thulos!??? piecesThulos is possibly the oldest mixel around, so old even he's forgotten by now. He also claims to be the wisest, and once Thulos starts talking, it's hard to stop him... ??? Serrah Gildie Wizpo ???
