The inspiration for mine came from a lot of multiple sources, but the most prominent one would have to be Ozai from AtLA.
I would say that my entry was most inspired by Morgoth/Sauron from the Lord of the Rings.
time for me to follow the trend my Makuta was inspired off of Chirox my favorite Makuta
I really like the way you used the Piece of Unity to make the MoUP.
When I first saw this I was like āHowād he get the MoUP!?!?ā then I realized it was custom, it looks great
Could it be possible to have more pictures of the custom MoUP?
Mine was inspired by kai from kungfu panda 3
But I donāt think any of that eventually showed up in the final version
i am kind of scaredā¦
i put half my money on itā¦
ripped down 12-17 hero factory setsā¦
spending at least everyday thinking of what to prove
sat down taking good shots of the mocs outside in the hot israelā¦
couldnāt get my eyes of it
starting to think that i am a bad mocist , and then prove my self with better thoughts
looking at better enteries , shaking when the contest ends, i get a buzz from any email.
what if i wonāt win
well iāll keep being positve ,
any way good luck guys! i loved all your mocs
i hope that you like mineā¦
Now that the contest is over I think Iām gonna make some smaller dark souls Mocs, thinking about making Yhorm from dark souls 3 maybe
cool sounds awesome
Iām going to finally finish my Meltdown remake, and with the parts from Umarak, Iām probably also going to remake Toxic Reapa. Now that I finally got the translucent lower limb bones, all I need to do is get Meltdownās head from storage.
Hmmm. My Makutaās color scheme was based heavily off of G1 Makuta but I replaced much of the red with trans red and the Krika whitish red parts. The bodyās original concept design/plan revolved around using the ten whitish red parts that I have. The mask was originally going to be a large, black MOUP with possibly a transred circle instead of just black like the rest of the Mask. However that soon changed as I was building it. I thought I was going to have to use Vakamaās fire disk as the circle but then had the idea of using the studshooter instead, which worked out far better. I then began creating the mask around said shooter, creating the top half before encountering difficulties with the lower. Then I had the wonderful idea of combining the shape of the MOUP with the Mask of shadows, so after some minor modifications to the top I proceeded to eventually figure out the bottom. So now overall the mask takes aspects of both masks. I wanted a well bulked out character but not to the extent that he was outright tankish/brutish. I wanted him to look both regal and yet still a fighter capable of brawling with the best. Despite some of his flaws Iām overall really pleased with how he turned out.
Figure that thisāll be the best place to put it.
Glad to help
Would some of you mind critiquing the MOC I submitted? Iām still pretty green to building titan scale sets and would love to hear some thoughts on where improvements could be madeāeven with photography! Thanks!
On the subject of inspiration, my entry was inspired by JTO Makuta, Teridaxās appearance in the Miramax films, and the generic hulking gold-and-purple titan aesthetic.
Actually not too bad. Iād suggest using a one-color background. The easiest way to do that for really large MOCs is a white bedsheet, but for MOCs as small as yours, just a cardboard box with holes cut into it (to allow light to enter) will probably do.
so, when do you think theyāll contact people to say theyāve won the contest?
Probably late September/early October.
My Makuta entry finally came through! Good luck to all of the entries and may the best Makuta win!
