Rider Of Spiders Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) So, this contest inspired me to do some things, including a MOC of a character I previously paid no specific attention to! I present to you, my first ever public MOC... The Shadowed One!http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RiderOfSpiders/theshadowedone/tso2.jpg Gallery Link Entry Picture Side View Back View Head Close-Up Threatening Pose So, I'm really nervous about the character, since I posted it online and other spooky stuff. I was troubled entering this one, since I had 4 (!) Keetorange CCBS shells, but I think I distributed them around well.As I said before, I never really cared about him, but as the never-done character list for this contest grew tighter, I decided to do him. I even managed to be late on him too! Anyway, he features a gear function and all the pieces save for his staff parts and the T-pieces on his hands are available in CCBS sets. ( I had that as a goal to meet ) Hope you like it, I'm over the worst part already so criticism is welcome. - RoS Edit: Fixed link problem Edit: Please link to images over 640x640 pixels in BBC.-Wind- Edited February 20, 2015 by -Windrider- 2 Quote "Onua gazes upon the Earth and sees riches.

BrickPharaoh Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Dangit! I thought The Shadowed one would be a unique choice of character! Guess I was wrong, then.. That means I need to finalize mine soon. Back on topic, I think it sorta underplays the large, stout Shadowed One of Gen1, which is why I'm not too fond of this particular rendition. Anyways, good luck to you, and for future reference mine will be quite different from yours Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."

Ford Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I think this goes entry goes to show that the biggest of bad can be the physically small. (Just look at Tohunga Makuta Teridax...) I like the style you used in this MOC, especially in the torso. Nice work!

Rider Of Spiders Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks for the feedback! The size here is partly because Keetorange has next to none CCBS parts, so I wanted to keep it somewhat major in the colour scheme. Quote "Onua gazes upon the Earth and sees riches.

Saint-14 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Pretty cool! The head shape reminds me of the illustration of the Shadowed One. Very cool use of the Rhotuka rip cord, too, that is a nice throwback to the old set Quote BZPRPG: Akamu, Toa of Ice Talk to me about Destiny!

Munty Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Nice mini representation with a familiar colour scheme but I think it's too small to be easily recognisable. If you'd have kept the legs a little bigger and retained the third leg for a tripedal creature I think it would've easily been instantly recognisable though so just one or two small tweaks would fi that. In general though I think it needs to be bigger and not bulkier, but more gangly really. TSO always had long limbs and that funky little neck. Would be nice to see them in his mini representation too! Good mini though (would love to see it with Fisher's Roodaka!) and best of luck in the voting!

Prowl Nightwolf Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ok, Prowl cannot see any of the pics save for the first one... He is sad... From what I see this is a Nice looking MOC though cannot tell how accurate it is to the original character as I have not idea who that is... I am liking your integration of a Skull Spider for the head and using it's legs for both a face and horns/ears. I could possibly see myself picking this MOC up in stores.
