JohannDakitsch Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) My rendition of the famous Horseman of the Apocalypse.MOCPages for more pictures (and creepy background music, to get in the mood...) Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with this MOC. Some things didn't come out exactly as expected (like feet and hands), but I still like it. Hope you do as well! Constructive criticism is always welcome (as well as some pure plain compliments =P ) And thats all, folks! NOTE: first pics are edited, they're supposed to be dark ...or something like it Edited October 17, 2011 by JohannDakitsch Quote The night is dark and full of terrors...

Ehlekdude Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Very nice and detailed. The lighting in the pictures is great. I especially like the chest. Beautiful, 9.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringoster Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Design is good, and the jaws fit perfectly. All he could possibly use is some extra grey to highlight his limbs better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezer Burn Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thats a great mouth! He looks fantastic, what with the solid black with white/red highlights, and his construction is awesome. The torso is awesome, and the feet look cool. One thing I am confused about is the staff... what is it? Other than that I think he would fit the prince of gluttony better than the horseman of famine, but that is merely personal preference. Nice moc!

Nice moc! Thanks! The staff is a scale. I did a small research and found out that the biblic passage that describes him says he carries a pair of scales, so I added them.

Freezer Burn Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Ah. Makes sense. Plus, just noticed that hands are mouths as well, makes it cooler. Quote Look at me still talking when there's science to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Oblivion Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 As you already know Johann, I really like this. The torso mouth is definantly the main aspect of this MOC. I enjoy how you gave it gums, although some form of lips slightly covering them might have been a good idea, but I'm not sure how that could be done. The rest isn't really anything special, those feet are pretty cool. On your next MOC I'd suggest making sure there aren't any unintentional gaps, although I'm sure you know this. Still, great job on this Quote Twitter Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I like it. The chest, arms, and head are great, but the legs look like they could use some work.9/10.

Still, great job on this Oh yeah, on the next ones I'll try do polish them a bit more, and give some better work on the limbs (but in Pestilence there might be some intentional gaps). As for the lips, yeah, it could be a good idea, but I would possibly have to use non-purist elements(unless there is a black lego rubber band).. Anyway, I dont find it very necessary, the lack of lips makes it creepier in my opinion. Quote The night is dark and full of terrors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCAR Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 is he part 'thing', lol, that head design or a lot of the body design could be used for a shockwave... Quote CLICK HERE TO SEE WHY MY SIG IS GONE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maganar Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Just in time for Halloween! At a first glance, I thought the entire waist hinged at the jaw. However, I looked at your link to mocpages and saw that the...Body Jaw?...hinged independently of anything else. That is very unique. The idea of using teeth for "Famine" is rather apropos and I assume it's intentional. The bodily construction is also very solid and gives it a muscular but inhuman appearance. It's so good, but I can't think of what else to say. It's just really...eerie. Quote Review Topic I AM OFFICIALLY BACK! After 18 months on hiatus, I have returned, but I have spent that time well.

Well, the idea was that it brings famine on the world, consuming everything, so, yeah, it was all intentional (kinda). i've done aquick research on the subject (the Four Horseman), just to have some base... Also, I've been wanting to make a MOc with a mouth on its chest for some time already, so I just enjoyed it Edited October 20, 2011 by JohannDakitsch Quote The night is dark and full of terrors...

Grantaire Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Awesome MOC. I'm not much of a reviewer of these things, but I have to say; the build is good, the color scheme excellent. Great job. The teeth in the chest were awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flameman Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 really love that torso, and that head too, that's a lot of teeth there , maybe you could try to cover those gaps on his legs, other than that, i like it, great job Quote Brickshelf | Flickr | MOCpages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Kanas Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 What a creepy delight of an moc! One of the best i have ever seen. Your lighting trick made it all the better, and the chest is a stroke of genious.A 9.5/10 my man. Quote Did you hear?? FORUMS ARE BACK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taipu1 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 It's quite an unnerving MOC this. the mouth in the chest, is fantastic, but creepy... The rest of the MOC is also rather creepy, the clawed feet and the various teeth on the head. the staff seems a bit odd though, unlike the rest of the MOC, it doesn't seem vary threatening.

Pridak for Prez Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Love the use of mouths for his body, the hands and chest are ingenius! The build of him creates that scary, creepy look and the scale staff is a brilliant addition! Love to see the other Horsemen! Great MoC and great build!

Toa Titan Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Incredible without the body-jaw, but insanely-frickin-awesome with it! This is the first good use of the Fenrak jaw, in my opinion.

BrickPharaoh Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 War anytime soon? Or Death??? I sure can't wait! This one is amazingly nightmarish and I can't help but fall in love with it. However, the waists look a bit odd to me. Still, this is pretty awesome. 10/10. Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."
