Ptah Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hello out there, Ptah here I had one additional model I wanted to share: the Rahkshi serpent. Granted this was never spoken of directly in Bionicle lore, but everyone of my Rahkshi canisters carried an image of this snake/serpent like creatures so I think it qualifies. Since it never had a G1 set it's not really a 2.0, but spirit of the times. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=553019 Some backstory:In the lava fields, the most desirable game is also the most dangerous: the Infernoboa An adult Infernoboa can evaporate a river and often melts rock to channel lava flows to their nests. Villagers love the meat but the Infernoboa is lethal out of the egg. They constrict their prey and their high body heat practically cooks them within their coils. Only the lava hunters successfully bring these creatures down earning a high price for the much prized meat. 2 Quote "Honor those the dragons heed, in thought and favor, word and deed" "Worlds are lost and worlds are saved, from those dangers dragons brave" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Chuck Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Not a bad moc, if a bit simplistic. I believe the logo was meant to resemble a kraata. However, in 2004, there was a red rahkshi like serpent encountered by the toa. So I guess this could be a revamp of that.

Dark_Stranger Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I, too, always thought that logo was just a stylized kraata--it doesn't look much like the set version, but it's pretty much identical to the one from Mask of Light. Regardless, your model is very evocative and has a nice color scheme, though I'd imagine that the way the Hordika a headpiece connects to the Rahkshi spine would make it hard to pose.

Akavakaku Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 You know, technically it could be valid for the contest as a Red Serpent.

McNugget Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yep, looks more like red serpent, but, You should enter it in the contest as the red serpent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptah Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 It'd be nice for an honorable mention, but as Toa Chuck noted it is super simple. Just a Rahkshi carapace to as many bones you want and have. Others put a lot of thought and creativity into their builds.
