I really dont know what category to place this in, if it’s wrong, please tell me
V1:
Feb 2 2017
I wanted to make a self-moc, have something that represents me in the world of bionicle, and that’s how the idea of Wärter came to mind, a shadow toa, an assassin, it all started with Kylo Ren’s cloth piece, I cut it to the shape of an assassin’s cape, then I needed help, I asked ghosty for some help on how to make the hoodie, and the WIP started
then from the feedback I noticed people liked him, so I finished him
V1.5
I really liked the bulkyness of the V1, but it affected the articulation, I needed to change that, and the pistols were weird, didnt fit the idea I had in mind
V2
I was tired of all the black, I wanted to give him some more color, and make him look elderly, and more like a knight, had to modify the build that I had made for the body a little bit, I also bought a bootleg which came with yellow eyes, so I gave him that eyestalk
V2.5
he still needed something, more red, and weapons, so I searched for swords I could make from assassin’s creed, the rope dart attached to his left wrist and the heavy falchion on his back, and a tanto because just why not, also upgraded the feet, he now had poseable toes, but for the toes to bend, you need to modify it a little bit, not a big problem
V3
I started watching Vikings, and I got obsessed with it, my self-moc had to suffer through it, gone was the heavy falchion and the tanto now he had a viking shield and two viking short axes, modified the entire back design so he could hold the shield and of course, the bootleg hands, which made the arms way too long, which led to the V3.1
V3.1 (Current Version)
7 months have passed, and from a simple idea in the back of my head, I’ve made moc that will never be dismantled, and will only get better and better, the V3.1 is just a slight update over the V3.0, I just shortened the arms
I dont know what else to do, people are suggesting for me to give him horns, but I’ve trtied and it just doesn’t work, so this is were the journey ends, for now…
