TheOneVeyronian Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 New year, new MOC. Basically I just had an idea involving using parts from the Smaug bigfig and it turned into this guy. Meet Draphim the Dragonborn:(click the pics for higher resolutions!)Not much to say about this guy really, except that he is an anthro dragon warrior that utilises parts from the Smaug bigfig. Plus I wanted to use that awesome printed Ninjago dragon shield piece and try some new torso and leg constructs. I also learnt that small Technic panels really work wonders for filling out arms where they use just a single bone to avoid them becoming flat. I think he came out really well, and I'm really pleased with the shield construct in particular.As always, comments, upvotes and constructive criticism appreciated 11 Quote My Flickr - My Brickshelf - My DeviantART Latest MOC: Draphim the Dragonborn - Latest artwork: Mazzie Rati MOC Accolades: Mechan'Rex, Steel Guardian (BFTGM 2nd place on EB) - Skeletal Dragon (Featured on BZP) - Skull Imitator Corphos (Featured on Creator's Corner) - CCBS Chess (Featured on BZP) - Draphim the Dragonborn (Most faved MOC of mine on Flickr) - BOB WIP (featured on Flickr's Explore page - don't ask me why) If you see a creative topic from me, I'd appreciate a comment on it - it's how I learn and become better at what I do!

BlackboltJohnson Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 This guy is great! I can't believe you haven't received more accolades for this MOC. Who doesn't love a dragon-themed character, especially one as BA as this?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millennium Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Glorious to say the least. That shield is outstanding. The only thing looking a little off is the golden mace piece on top of the staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Puppeteer Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Nice! This is some sweet armoring and weapons. I really love when people take poops and make them into fully fleshed-out figures, and the wings pull it together. The thickness of the legs feels a little off, though — the thighs should be thickest, slimming down towards the ankles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneVeyronian Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 This guy is great! I can't believe you haven't received more accolades for this MOC. Who doesn't love a dragon-themed character, especially one as BA as this?!Thanks! Give it some time. It's only 7 faves on Flickr away from becoming my most faved MOC so far (which is currently Skull Imitator Corphos) Glorious to say the least. That shield is outstanding. The only thing looking a little off is the golden mace piece on top of the staff.Thanks. The gold mace piece was more a personal choice to spread the gold out a little bit in the colour scheme, to go with the rather gold-heavy shield Nice! This is some sweet armoring and weapons. I really love when people take poops and make them into fully fleshed-out figures, and the wings pull it together. The thickness of the legs feels a little off, though — the thighs should be thickest, slimming down towards the ankles. Thanks. The legs do actually thin out like that, but I admit the angles don't really make it very clear. I was going to add armour add-ons to the thighs to thicken them but it made them look ridiculously thick so I thought it'd be better off without them I think it's clear to say though - expect more Dragonborn MOC's from me over the next couple of months!

Toa Imrukii Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I want to insert some skyrim reference, but I dunno. Awesome MOC nonetheless, great use of pieces and colors! Everything just flows together in my option.

Toa Doublebee Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) I admit, I was expecting a different kind of Dragonborn.Regardless, I am not disappointed This guy is magnificent. Edited January 9, 2016 by Toa Doublebee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
