Ford Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) An album of pictures can be found here. This guy was an experiment for me to see if I could incorporate more Inika-styled parts on a CCBS torso frame, and I think it came out quite well. I tried my best to fill in any gaps on this, even on the sides. As for the legs, I've been incorporating some cartoony aspect into all of my MOCs lately, and that's translated here. I guess I took too much inspiration from this design. And trust me when I say that the color scheme looks a lot better in person.Let me know what you think, or if you'd like to see more from me in the future!

The 1st Shadow Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Cool! I love how you did the torso--for all its simplicity, it really works! Legs look good, but they're a bit scrawny at the hips. Other than that, my only complaint is that he has almost no red in the torso, and a lot on the arms and legs.

Millennium Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I think you did a great work at incorporating old and new. The colour scheme fits, the red weapons are a nice choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallior Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Wow, great job! The color scheme is one of my favorites, and the construction and weapons are really fun! I should try using some of your leg ideas sometime. Quote "Remember when the comics forum had a lot of good stuff?

Ford Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Wow! Thank you all for the feedback. Legs look good, but they're a bit scrawny at the hips. Other than that, my only complaint is that he has almost no red in the torso, and a lot on the arms and legs. The problem is that the only piece that really works with the torso is the 4M shell, and it doesn't come in red. I've tried using trans orange, but it just doesn't look right. It makes him look a lot skinnier and hollow due to the, well, transparent nature of the piece. As far as the hips go, I did make them longer, which definitely helps with poseability as the handles on the axes don't get in the way of leg movement anymore....And only you would be concerned because you voiced him that one time. I see. Edited May 2, 2015 by FordianL 1 Quote http://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/O8CcqC5.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 I'm getting together with a friend to plan out a massive (probably overly ambitious) continuation of the Gen1 story in serialised chapters. Since there are a tonne of characters and unfinished plot threads, it's going to be a very, very difficult project to undertake, also considering how they introduced the Gold Fusion, Velika's murderous rampage, The Shadowed One's acquisition of the Makuta viruses and subsequent amassing an army, Kabrua's Hunger Games ripoff, the Baterra, the Red Star's inhabitants, the reborn League of Six Kingdoms marching for war, Marendar, Gaardus, the EP entity, the Antidermis Brutaka, Toa Varian going to be unstasis-ified soon, Voporak with the Mask of Time, etc. We also want to look into some of our own original stories (hinted within the established canon, or otherwise stories we want to do that aren't a part of any current story threads), for example: Krakua defending an island fortress in the future, a story about Kanohi and identity, a story about the element lords (present, not past), Federation of Fear sequel, a story focusing on the Chronicler's Company, a story focusing on the Mahri-toran + Mazeka and Hydraxon (all basic elements represented there), a story focusing on Gavla as a character, and possibly more. It's a lot of loose ends to tie up and a lot of story opportunities we want to pursue. It will likely be told as a collection of concurrently running serials. Considering the fact that we also have to find a good climax and logical narrative progression, alongside making sure most characters aren't forgotten, whether this plan will actually follow through to the end is a very real uncertainty. But do or do not, there is no try, so we're going to see how far we can take it. Do you want me to help you in any way?

Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I really like the design and concept. I'm not sold on the use of the calix, but I really dig the body and the armor especially. Well done! Quote Other great bands: Iron Maiden Journey Mercenary The Unguided Trivium Boston Stratovarius Symphony X Epica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
