The 1st Shadow Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Shortly after introducing the character of Geiad in my epic, When the Month Ends, I decided to build his physical form. He was my first try at a custom torso, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone use anything like it before. I'm pretty proud of how he turned out.But why am I telling you this? Check him out for yourself.^Click for gallery^FrontBackSidePoseComparison with KolvatTorso constructionWell, there's Geiad for ya. Also, be sure to check out my other MOCs, Toa Kolvat, and the Vortixx Kadrus.

FrozenFlash Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) I really like how well-armored he is and the design of the custom torso is extremely well-done. I like the feet armoring too but the feet should be in a different color as they don't really fit in with the other colors. Awesome job on this though! Edited October 20, 2012 by FrozenFlash Quote
Chro Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Nice MOC. The torso construction is interesting, and I'd say it's the highlight of the creation, although the overall feel is nicely cohesive. Quote save not only their lives but their spirits

For the feet, I was trying to give off the feel that he was wearing boots of another color than his normal red, and since black was already in his color scheme, I went with it.Nice MOC. The torso construction is interesting, and I'd say it's the highlight of the creation, although the overall feel is nicely cohesive. Thanks! The Torso idea just came to me one day when I was looking through a pile of parts, wondering how I could make a torso that was a bit larger and more customizable than the Inika torsos. I settled on this. I have two others with different variations of the design that I'll post later. Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~
BrickPharaoh Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Great torso design! I really like this MOC because it seems to retain a certain form throughout the whole thing. The only thing I don't really like is the foot color. Can't you use the Metru red ones instead? Oh, and if you use them for the shoulder armor they would kinda look better than the Metru feet IMO. Great job, though! Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior." Recent MOC's: The Headless Horseman (BBC71 Finalist) LDD CCBS Chess The Shadowed One (BBC69) Nydoretha (Netherealm Empress)
Mr. Cup of Fail Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Great MOC like the body and how you use the arm/leg for the body. Arm i think it need to be shorter but it ok. Leg is good.I give this MOC a 7 out of 10. Quote My Topics MOCs: Construct-a-Astronaut __________________________________________________ Find Me On Flickr Twitter Youtube

I never really thought of his arms as long, since I generally keep them bent at an angle. It could be worse, I suppose--he could be like Gali Mistika.

Obsessionist Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I like the Metru chest shin guards, I'm surprised I've never seen that before. He looks great, except maybe his chest. The armor stops a couple studs to low and leaves a lot of unsightly structure and gaps visible. If you have ae couple of system slopes, they would look good there. Quote

Yeah, making the chest actually work as well as it did was the challenge. I had the same problem on my second try as well. System slopes, you say? I might give that a try, though I'm not sure the design will allow for it.As for the shin guards, they were sort of an afterthought,. I felt his ankles were too skinny, and since we don't have a black version of the MN/Ackar shin guards, these were my best alternative.
