The 1st Shadow Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) This wasn't my first choice for a character. However, it was the only idea that really worked out, so I decided to go with it. Here you go! ^Click for entry picture^ FrontSidePoseWith Ackar I think this is quite a step up from my usual works. I'm rather proud of how this turned out. (Also, that Ackar MOC was one of my other attempts, and I'll post him in a separate topic later) For now, enjoy! Comments? Criticism? Cookies?

Ghidora131 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Brilliant job, ~T1S~! i'll be voting for it in the contest! While the shoulders seem a little high, it doesn't throw the look off so bad. Nice one! And please tell meh how you take such good pictures!

Jakura Nuva Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Very nicely done, T1S! I think you did an amazing job with proportions especially - I also like the visible limb piece right above the hips, as they remind me of pistons and provide a very (if not unintended) mechanical feel - very G1 BIONICLE, I'd say . The only complaints I have is with the weapons - for starters, the gun feels to small for Takanuva's titanic size. If you find a way to add on to/up-size it, it would, IMO, look much better. As for the spear, everything about it looks great to me except for the translucent Bohrok eyes on the end. Call it a small nitpick of mine, but I don't really like how they look. Again, it's more of a personal preference for me. As an extra note, he needs claws - either using these or these. The original Titan Takanuva had claws, so it feels fitting that this one should, too. Otherwise, absolutely fantastic! A solid 9/10 in my book ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallior Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Wow, fantastic work, T1S! Are the gears for show or are they functional? Quote "Remember when the comics forum had a lot of good stuff?

The 1st Shadow Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Thanks, guys! Brilliant job, ~T1S~! i'll be voting for it in the contest! While the shoulders seem a little high, it doesn't throw the look off so bad. Nice one! And please tell meh how you take such good pictures! Yeah, I couldn't find a way around that, so I made it work as best as I could. I just took some basic pictures and then sharpened them up in editing later. I can show you the program I use for that later. Very nicely done, T1S!

Otherwise, absolutely fantastic! A solid 9/10 in my book !Thanks! I agree about the weapons, to be honest. The Bohrok eyes were just thrown on as filler pieces to make the lance look less blank. As for the blaster, I like to think that it didn't grow in size when he went to Karda Nui, since it was not a part of him to begin with. However, the power lance grew, so I digress. My brother said the same as you about it, though he insisted I change it to either a bazooka or a rocket launcher. Also, I wanted to add claws, but they looked a little goofy when holding his weapons. They claws stuck out way past the fingertips and made for a really awkward design, so I just settled for leaving them out. Wow, fantastic work, T1S! Are the gears for show or are they functional?Yes, the gears are functional. Honestly, I took that configuration straight off of Onua. I just tweaked it a little bit here and there.

That would make it look better in my opinion. As for the claws, I see... that's a bit unfortunate, as it's the only thing of the body I feel could really be improved on. Nevertheless, it looks great anyways - I just think the claws would provide an extra touch of malice that'd go well with his "half-light, half-dark" theme .

Why I didn't think to use any of them is beyond me. 1 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixFireBlaze Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Love it. It's a lot better than mine. The only complaint I have is that the arms seem too short. Quote ~After they make Styrofoam, what do they ship it in?~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akavakaku Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Wow, really cool and quite amply armored. I feel it could just have used some Viking horns or creature teeth for claws.

The 1st Shadow Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Love it. It's a lot better than mine. The only complaint I have is that the arms seem too short.Yours was actually pretty good. While I was still working on the feet for mine, I saw your topic and thought "Oh, great. Someone beat me to it." The only thing I didn't like about yours was how small the body was compared to the mask. Otherwise, it was a decent piece of work! As for the arms on mine, that's a mix between poor angles when taking the pictures and the fact that CCBS parts are kinda limited when it comes to the right size in the right color. Ah, well, what can ya do? Wow, really cool and quite amply armored. I feel it could just have used some Viking horns or creature teeth for claws.I would have done that, but as I said before, it makes the hands look awkward when he's holding his weapons, as the fingertips would stick out way past the handles. Thanks for the feedback, though! Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st Shadow Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 The arms seem a bit small for the legs, IMO,Just bad camera angles. In any case, this is one of my many works currently on display at BricksCascade. As I type this, I'm on my way over there.
