Scydrak - Guilty Sunset

@Ekorak

CaptRanakiPakewa: so maybe switch them out with something black and a small yellow highlight?

sheds a single tear

I only have one remaining of the part I need in black. I wanted to make it black, but it couldn’t.

Aww. Man, if I only new beforehand.

@ColdGoldLazarus

I like the color scheme and what you were going for with it, but the Light Blue doesn’t work quite as well with the others. I would say to replace it with purple, but of course that’s something easier said than done, so I’m not sure what to say that would actually be helpful.

I actually really like the blue in there. Purple would make him have a bit to common of a color-scheme; but as you can tell from my avatar, I like risky color-schemes.

@Ekorak

On the images, or the MOC? I can see people not liking the color distribution of the MOC itself, but I honestly like them. I may try to fix the legs in the future, but for now at least, I’m happy with the colors and concept.

I love the legs! Don’t change them much at all. Maybe add one or two blue pieces, but don’t change anything else in those sexy shins.

@Ekorak

The swords were admittedly a last minute decision to have become wings, but hey, it looks cool and gets across the elemental air feel a bit more.

I think the sword-wings add to the sky theme quite well.

@Payinku

ek, sunsets are a warm gradient, I don’t know what kind of sunsets you’re seeing.

Blue-grey on the edge, yellow at the center, and burnt orange on the clouds. He matches perfectly with this one.

@BioRaiders532

I’m personally a fan of heavily contrasting colors, they make the MOC pop and seem more interesting. But, that’s just me.

oh, I like contrasting colors as well, but these just don’t work for me.

@Payinku

ek, sunsets are a warm gradient, I don’t know what kind of sunsets you’re seeing.

They are.

Warm gradients are very hard to incorporate into MOCs though. The inspiration was for the sky color (blue), the reddish gold from the setting sun itself, and the black (technically dark blue but that’d look like crap on this) from the oncoming night.

As Bio stated, the colors aren’t for everyone. This was a new test for me, as I have stated, and this is the first MOC I have made in a while that I have legitimately enjoyed making.

[Payinku]

who said you were allowed to have fun with your Lego?

now get back to work!

[Ekorak]

@Payinku

now get back to work!

Alas…I must depart for the night.

Sleep is calling me.

(alas we had no pretty sunset tonight, as it was raining ;o;)

[Payinku]

just stare at your moc for a while.

[Ranaki_Pakewa]

But won’t the conflicting colors burn his eyes out?!?

(alas we had no pretty sunset tonight, as it was raining ;o;)

I’m freakin’ jealous; even if rain wasn’t my favorite weather, I live in an area where we’re more likely to get snow this time of year.

[Chro]

The color scheme almost works really well.

[Garnira]

Ooh! Snazzy. It’s not every day that you see a moc with burnt orange and sand blue!

[Creep]

Ek did a new moc! cough dont you have moc topic? cough

[Tate]

I really love this colour scheme

I also really love the burnt orange lewa nuva blades

I wish I got them…

Also

Shintastic

[DarkTakanuva]

Really nice. I actually like the color scheme.

Wait, that’s light blue? I thought it was sand blue, like on Vezok. Still looks good though.

The shins are a very solid build. I like.

Hey Pot8o, I have 8 of lewa nuva’s sword blades in burnt orange.

[Hawkflight]

Cowboy Ekorak forever. Colors look okay, might have liked better layering. Not a fan of the torso, though, exposed socket and weird Slizer foot. Really the only thing that impresses me is the shins.

@Payinku

you prefer all your mocs to be petite in size.

You are now my friend.

@Ekorak

which is being said on a bulky MOC

I will say no.

[Ekorak]

@Hawkflight

I will say no.

You can’t just say no. It’s a bulky MOC, through and through. Your MOCs are unreasonably bulky, in my honest opinion. You would never see somebody on the streets packed with that much muscle and clothing. This guy is semi-realistic, regarding him being an alien.

I’m sorry if I sound frustrated, but I don’t get why you think something has to resemble the Hulk to be bulky.

[Hawkflight]

The bulk is better than in most of your MOCs, but still lacking in a couple places. Namely, the fact that he uses the same thighs as skinny Ekorak.

[StudentScissors]

Coolio

[Leoxander]

As always, great job. The wings go well with how a sunset looks, distributing a nice, warm color outwards to the rest of the MOC. My only gripe is that the color distribution feels off. Maybe a bit more black in the upper body and more of that blue in the legs.
