Kreld - Steltian Pirate

Steltian businessman (read: pirate). Crafty and cunning, with a 6th sense for profit, and notoriously vain. Unfortunately, his operations tend to be be hampered by bad luck - or perhaps it’s just the fact that he did not pick his crew based on intellect which foils many of his elaborate plans. Still, miraculously he always manages to get back on his feet.
His pride and joy is his ship: the Taikoi.


With Morudak and Lartok.


This is actually an older MOC I never posted for reasons. Built in 2023/2024. Goal was to build something large and poseable, which I think I managed. From the things I figured out here - especially torso-wise - I also incorporated a lot in other MOCs since: my TSO revamps draws heavily from the torso build, and both Makuta Jarnat and Cenred follow the general idea for the lower torso.
And this was pretty much the most complicated cloth piece I had made until that point. Nowadays, what I am about with Vulon and Cenred’s banner (although the latter wasn’t complex so much as time intensive) rival that. The plan is to use this cloak for a Makuta in the future eventually. Just have to figure out for which one, considering it’s fitted for rather broad shoulders and the red/yellow is quite striking.
Kreld here will be taken apart soon. Lots of useful parts I could use elsewhere.

Hope you enjoy, and even if this is an older MoC, C&C is of course appreciated!

I like the little mask trophy on his hip. The asymmetry on the arms is also a nice nod to Sidorak.

I agree with @Racie02 about his mask trophy. I like how his face and general appearance are reminiscent but also distinct from Sidorak’s, and the cape clasp also looks really good!

Really good shaping throughout. I like it when mocs have a focused design to them, rather than just masses of parts for complexities sake. Head in particular is fantastic.

This looks amazing, the cloak adds a lot of color and character to the build.
