this moc has always been based on the 03 Makuta set, and no other design, though it may take some minor inspirations from the miramax teridax, and from the SIC series. this has the same color layout as said 03 set, as was intended, it also has wide shoulders like the set. this is the largest moc I’ve made, and has eaten my parts bin.
Pros:
Reminiscent of the original Makuta
Consistent Colour Scheme
Completely original and unique build
Has the devil’s goat legs
Wolverine Claws
Cons:
No real neck. It’s just chest, then head. Need a distinct transitional neck area
Not sure how I feel about the Avohkii on his chest.
Upper body as a whole looks too “clumped” together and just, HUGE compared to his arms and legs. Try shaving some armor off (I never envisioned Makuta as a huge buff brute, but maybe that’s just me)
I would have liked to have seen him in a action pose with his weapon drawn. But other than that, this is an excellent incarnation of the Master of Shadows.
the only reason I didn’t put him in an action pose is that some of his joints are a bit loose from age, and I had a bunch of mocs to take pictures of, so I didn’t want to bother.

okay so
upper chest area seems
eh.
[/quote]that’s probably because it’s the oldest part of the moc.

otherwise gr8 moc

7/10
[/quote]huh, I expected 7/8 to complete the rhyme.

The upper legs are too gappy
[/quote]gappy? a touch thin sure(I actually made them thin on purpose to look more like the set.), but gappy? they don’t have any gaps in them.
minor update, I’ve added more red to his waist.
also an actual comparison shot. the mocs waist is actually thinner on purpose.
