Djokson Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Legendary Valkyrian slayer of evil. The counterpart to the demonic Dungeonboss I built a while ago, Astrid is a holy warrior of light. She was inspired by the completely impractical armored dress designs of various anime characters, mainly Saber from the Fate/stay night series, but also by Norse mythology and a particular power metal album. The teepee part was what started the build and it may or may not make the dress look a bit big, but I think the end result was worth it.Thanks for taking a look, your comments and criticism are greatly appreciated! PS. This is my entry for this month's Flickr contest. 19 Quote Flickr DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petewa Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 What in the world are those shoulders made of? It looks fantastic. Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djokson Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 The shoulders are made with the helmet parts from set #8771-1 Jayko. The connection is a bit tricky but surprisingly very sturdy. Thanks! 1 Quote Flickr DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickPharaoh Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Care to share which power metal album that was? Aside from that, NPU everywhere as usual, used to achieve stunning results. Congrats in advance XD Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."

The Invisible Handman Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 This is definitely an incredible model, but I do wonder if you can do better with the elbows there.We need a photo of Astrid with Mixel eye's asap. 1 Quote {Brickshelf Page - BZPRPG Profile - HFRPG Profile - Project Protodermis Profile} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djokson Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 I was actually considering giving her the 1x1 round tile Mixel eyes but in the end decided against it because it would have looked a bit too silly for what I was going for. That, and they couldn't fit under the helmet. Thanks! Quote Flickr DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescent Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I've come back to look at this MOC a few times and every time I notice something new. I really like how you built the forearms. The horn pieces as hair are also a nice idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VahiHolder02 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Very creative use of the Jayko helmet visors! I really like the use if the Onua claws.
