Windblade Toa of Air

[turtleman]

Windblade , my selfmoc, lived in a village built on a huge tree. One day after exploring the forest and using his kanohi he came back and found his village burning and a massive Makuta of fire standing over the village's turaga. Windblade, a matoran at the time, charged at the Makuta. The Makuta grabbed Mindblade by the neck and started choking him. the turaga threw a toa stone at Windblade transformed and kicked the makuta who disappeared leaving wisps of shadow.Windblade has control over air and limited control over plantlife.back shothis wings can flip and become swords

Hello and welcome to BZPower Forums! I hope you are finding things to your liking, I know I am! I love the story that goes along with this creation. I have to ask though, was the story aspect created before or after you built this? I appreciate any use of Lewa's mask, so right off the bat you have points. The colors stay to a relatively small pool of selections, too, which is good. However, I do feel that the hands are a tad too large for the rest of this build. Also, the plant pieces on the legs seem to be a little out of place. Keep working, you can only get better!

Very creative use of the Matoran feet as the torso, I built a similar moc but with Toa Nuva feet as the torso. The only cons I can see is that the neck is a tad too long, and the hip is skinny. Other than that, it's a very nice moc! I didn't have time to read the story, I'll read it later.

I thought of the story after and I do agree about the hands I'm not completely satisfied with the lower arms. As for the leaves, I think they look good. Also if the neck was shorter he would not be able to move his head as much.

I like the backstory of this. It sounds a bit sad. The torso and the wings are both nicely designed. My only complaint is that the neck looks a bit too long but still, nice job on this!

Actually, the more that I look at it, the more the legs grow on me (heh, pun, 'cause you know, they're leaves...). I think it just happens to be the angel of the picture that caused me to not originally appreciate the leg build.

As everyone said the neck is a bit long. But the rest is okay, maybe add a little more green on the upper legs. I love the leafy lower legs, arms and wings. The backstory is pretty cool too.

I like the overall feeling of the MOC with the flipping swords and the plant life ankle armor. The neck is a little too long, though. didn't really read the story, I was trying to focus on the pictures. I will read it after finishing this very post.awesome overall!!

I like the idea of custom bodies, but this MOC doesn't look as good as a standard, boring Toa build (maybe utilizing the Antroz technique to implement the wings) with equivalent gear would would. Try to do proportions at least a BIT better when making custom bodies. As it is, his neck, limbs and body make his mask seem huge and some of the colors are a bit odd too.
