Hi there. Just found this board and figured I’d share a couple of my recent MOCs. I’ve posted these on flickr and moc-pages.com, so some of you may have seen them already. If so, hope you don’t mind my sharing them here too.
This guy started out as just a re-vamp of Ikir. but as I was building him, he just took on a life and character of his own. This is the backstory I wrote for Draakir. .
On Okoto, the fire creatures roam free, just waiting for the mighty Toa of Fire to find them and unite their powers. But for all these years the Ikir have not been living without a protector and shepherd. That shepherd is Draakir, and he is the Lord of the Fire Creatures. He has protected them, watched over them, and led them, waiting for the arrival of the mighty Tahu. Finally that time has come, and Ikir and Tahu shall unite to defeat Umarak’s evil horde!
Shadow Ikir… neat. The Skrall swords don’t quite mesh aesthetically, but they work fine color-wise and that staff really suits him. Makes him look… lordly.
I like the idea, but i think that the arms are out of place, maybe instead you should use the balljoints which the arms are currently using to armor Draakir up a little bit, and make the wings larger, he will be a lot more grander that way.
Thanks for the feedback. Usually I’m a big proponent of armoring up my MOCs. But I kept this guy unarmored so as to match with Ikir. I didn’t want him to be too grand, since he’s nowhere near a Toa-level being. According to the origin blurb I wrote, he is merely the protector and shepherd of the fire creatures:
