Popular Post dviddy Posted May 7, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2015 Back view A MOC tribute to our dear Tufi Piyufi. She is one of the best friends a person could have, and also awesome. I wanted to replicate the feel of a traditional Western Military dress uniform, but sort of through that weird anime lens? Like the way so much anime borrows a concept of that sort of dress but imprints its own sensibilities upon it. In this case, I wanted to sort of imply the Puffin-y elements. I think it worked out pretty well? 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Pretty much sums up Tufi in a nutshell. I like it. 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...
Mate.397 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I like the overall look, though the mask feels off, in color at least, or am I missing something about her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dviddy Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 I like the overall look, though the mask feels off, in color at least, or am I missing something about her?That is Tufi's signature mask since the beginning of time. Plus the mask needs to be off-colour from the rest of the model in order to fully separate it from the uniform. Most people don't have a skintone that matches their uniform, after all!

tomdroidser Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I don't know if you think of this, but, from the way I see it, this MOC looks more like a pirate to me. The only thing missing is a pirate hat/bandana. Out of curiosity, how tall is it? -Tomdroidser Quote Featuring: Arkham Firefly/The LEGO Movie Quiz Now Entering: The Rise of DarkSaber Two personal thanks to Black Six for Proto Boost.

The 1st Shadow Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Seriously, though, this looks amazing! The upper torso/shoulders feel a little out of proportion, but that may just be the pose and camera angle. Also not sure how I feel about those red ball joints in the wrists. Loving that sword, though! And the boots and feathery coat-tails. Excellent touch, that. 4 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specter Knight Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 That is just GLORIOUS! Just about every part of the build is amazing, but special Kudos goes to the sword, torso, and legs.

Makaru Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I feel a lot of the proportions are wonky [at best] and while I agree that the Huna is KEY, there still needs to be some sort of head accent to pull all of this together and to keep the head from looking comically small on the frame of the MOC. That said however The Thigh-high boots, the overcoat, THAT SWORD PAT OH MY GOD THE SWORD there is just so much style and honest to goodness fashion it just feels really great and the rest kind of does not matter.

The only thing missing is a pirate hat/bandana. Out of curiosity, how tall is it? -TomdroidserIt is very swashbuckling, for sure. I'm feeling that right now, I guess. It's probably around a foot tall? I feel a lot of the proportions are wonky [at best] and while I agree that the Huna is KEY, there still needs to be some sort of head accent to pull all of this together and to keep the head from looking comically small on the frame of the MOC. That said however The Thigh-high boots, the overcoat, THAT SWORD PAT OH MY GOD THE SWORD there is just so much style and honest to goodness fashion it just feels really great and the rest kind of does not matter.I'm not thrilled about the arms, but I'm not sure where any of the rest of the proportions get wonky at worst. I worked very hard to keep it to a slightly exagerrated realistic set of proportionate body lengths. I tried lots of head accents, each one detracted from the overall feel of the model. I'm afraid I take umbrage with "comically small" quite drastically. I build models to be proportionate based on the mask size, not the head underneath as functionally the mask presents as the head in photos and display.

The Invisible Handman Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Gotta love the use of wing pieces around the thighs, it's a neat touch that add's to the puffin theme Tufi Piyufi has.

Petewa Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I like it, it has a nice "feel" and through rough measurements, this MOC is actually proportionate to a human body. I am jealous of your skillz.

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 A proper military uniform on a BIONICLE MOC? As that Shaggy rip-off from Jabber-Jaw used to say, "Wowie Wow Wow!" This is most impressive! I love the personal customizations to it to fit our BZP old-timer. Has Tufi seen this as of yet?

I love the personal customizations to it to fit our BZP old-timer. Has Tufi seen this as of yet? I believe her exact words (via text message) were "I NEED THOSE BOOTS NOW". Followed by: "AND THAT JACKET". I've been trying to do more "real-world inspired" outfits or design styles on my MOCs lately. It's sort of fun to take things in such a different direction from the normal BIONICLE MOCing scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 It took a while for me to figure out that it was supposed to be a jacket and boots. My mind originally thought it was supposed to resemble a bird somehow, and it didn't quite add up right. Now that I see the proper resemblance, I must admit it makes perfect sense. Well done.

It's sort of fun to take things in such a different direction from the normal BIONICLE MOCing scene. Well, if you need an idea, you could make a Medieval Roman/'Byzantine' Cataphract or a member of the Varangian Guard; Heavily armored and aren't Western Knights (do either of these and I will take it as a personal MoC for myself ). If you want to make villain, you could also do a Ritterbruder from the Monastic State of the Teutonic Order (would require a white cape; what a name).

Bluest-of-Jayys Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Worked out pretty well? Pshh, this worked out amazingly! The build almost reminds me of Gunpla, lol. I love the gold details you used on the "waistcoat" and "boots." They do indeed make her look like an empress. Quote WHAT'S UP, BUTTERCUP???
