But yes, I’m completely frozen from any sort of name. I originally going to make it something dumb like “Niare” (Ni-are) which was a pun on my name but I didn’t like it. any suggestions?
Edit: if you want a better looking moc, scroll down a little.
That actually doesn’t sound half bad, though it would work more for a female MOC.
I’d say it’s a good start, but you very clearly need to start experimenting with custom limbs and torsos if you want to be serious about MOCing. My main complaint is that the armor on the legs is very sparse, and ought to be replaced with a longer length of shell. Also can’t figure out what the thing on his arm is meant to be - that’s a cue for you to make whatever it is more obvious in the built, not explain it to me in text.
I will admit, I’m not a huge mocer. In fact, this moc was really thrown together in ten minutes as a response to one of my friend’s slef moc. But after reading your feed back I decided to fix it up, such as getting rid of that crappy arm and taking this bit of advice:
He’s significantly better with the second try, but remains very basic and doesn’t deviate a whole lot from the easy path. Experiment a bit. Look around for inspiration or a MOC you can partially imitate and modify to create your own thing. Keep trying.
