The Brotherhood of Makuta - What About a Community MOC Project?

Sorry I’ve been taking so long on mine, stuffs been getting in the way and I haven’t had a chance to buy parts.

If anyone is interested, here’s a quick summary + comments on progress on the Book of the Brotherhood and the drawings:

Drawings:
I finished 43 drawings thus far and am working on the 44th. It’s interesting how much better I’ve gotten since I started. The first couple of drawings where kinda “simple” and got steadily more detailed… heck, by looking only at the drawings you might actually be able to build whole parts of the simpler Makuta MOCs by now…
Also I have somehow developed a tendancy to… “extend” the clothing if the Makuta wears a cape or something or just adding capes and such stuff if I feel like it - recognizing the MOC the drawing is based on gets a little more difficult due to that and I’m not totally sure if Bionicle characters wearing robes is a terribly good idea, but for the moment I think it works…
I still mostly suck at designing non-canon Kanohi designs, though…

The offer still stands that you can design a Kanohi for your MOC if I haven’t already drawn it.

Texts:
Currently work isn’t coming along very fast - I’m somehow simply lacking the motivation at the moment. Must have been only one text I finished within the last 6 weeks… And unfortunately there’s quite some writing for university ahead, too. Don’t fear, though, I’m definitely going to finish this somewhen… only perhaps not within this year… or next year… or the year after that…
But hey, 30 texts this far which amounts to about… 20-25 pages of text.

Anyways, there are still 37 Makuta missing, so keep up the work yourselves!

Don’t worry, robes are awesome.

While it’s obviously your choice or what direction to take artistically, I hope you didn’t cloth Marzek too much. I’m rather proud of how I designed his armour. xD

(and they also allow me to “hide” parts of the MOC that I otherwise would have to spent quite some time on to draw in full detail ;))

@Timeline15

If I remember correctly I stuck to his cape/cloak as the only piece of clothing - so nothing to fear :stuck_out_tongue:
Even his mask is one of the better designed ones in my opinion… probably mostly due to me sticking to the design of the mask the MOC actually wears…

Would you mind if I made the project trailer public on my channel?

Sure, go ahead.

After all anyone can in theory access it anyways through the link below the Chroniclers’ Convergence video on YouTube…

That’s, right, I’ve forgotten to mention.
Basically, after reading all over the rules and whatnot, I plan to remake my Makuta MOCS.
Though Fenerak and Vulon have been already built, inplant to remake them into there ‘original forms’, since I’ve been struggling with straight up revamping them.
As for Adrion, my original concept for him is very much difficult for me to make in LEGO, so I’ll also do an ‘original form’ for him as well.
From this, I’ll also write down there Biographies as well.
Because I’ve got holidays coming up very soon, I should be able to get them done ASAP.

Unfortunately, after tinkering with Vyrdran for over two hours, I was unable to find a good-looking replacement for the Nuva shoulders, so I guess if it’s not a deal-breaker then they’re here to stay. I rewrote the biography again, so hopefully it works. If not just let me know and I’ll go back to the drawing board.

Also, I just saw the entry into Chroniclers Convergence and it looks great! Props to everyone involved!

I’ll put you on the list for a female Makuta then.

As to what the “Book of the Brotherhood” is going to be - have a look at post 374.

Hello. Is it too late to join?

@MaximusPrime

Definitely not.:slight_smile:

Currently you can choose between doing a non-canon male Makuta or revamping Chirox.
So, which one shall it be?
All the important rules you can find below the list in post 829.

I’ll go with that one.

I have a moc that goes with a set that I made a while back. It fits all the physical requirements, and I really think it would be good here. Though it may be a few days.seeing as I can never seem to find the time to take pictures, and all I have is my phone camera.

As far as the backstory, I already have one, but I’m not sure it will work. I’ll show it to you in a PM or something and you can tell me if it works.

I’ll put you on the list then.

If it does indeed then that’s ok.

Sure, go ahead.

Is this better?

Aside from the picture being upside down…

Yup, that head works.
I feel like the MOC is lacking something, though. Perhaps a simple cape/cloak would alrady help there.

Anyways you have until the end of the month to make Rerekei look as good as possible.


@Aegyptiacus

Remember that I would like your female Makuta MOC finished by the end of the month, too. If somehow you simply can’t manage that, however, I would be fine with seeing a WIP of it, and if it looks really good I would be willing to give you more time.

Alright, I’ll see what else I can do.
