Sorano, the Empty One (New Self MOC)

Looks really good. Kinda reminds me of the mutts from the HG mocking jay part two movie

Overall, I quite like this, and most of it is very solidified! And I’m surprised with how articulated those shoulders are! Speaking of the shoulders, I think the 4M Armor works great with the bohrok teeth! The torso is very well covered, the waist articulation is appreciated, and I like the use of the HF Shield. The only thing that really needs work is the upper legs. I feel like those feet pieces clash with the other textures, and stick outward a little too much.

Those upper legs caused me more trouble than you could imagine…

I understand the problem. If I ever make a Bricklink order, I’ll probably look for alternative pieces.

Interesting concept, though I feel it wasn’t executed to its fullest extent. Some of the designs suffer from looking rather awkward; namely the shoulders and thighs. The sockets on the end of the shoulders and the feet on the sides of the thighs are the big issues, imo. Looking forward to future versions.

I’m looking into how to change the feet “armor,” but the shoulders will likely stay as-is due to the articulation they offer.

Could we see how posable he is, perhaps more pictures of him in epic poses would be great, otherwise I would love to see how far the future versions of this character can go.

To be honest, I’m not really feeling this Moc
Don’t get me wrong, the fact it has that amount of articulation is good, and better than really anything I’ve ever done I think, but looking at the entirety of the Moc, I’m just not really liking the look of it. Not sure what it is…
But if you’re happy with it for the time being that’s fine.

I may get up more images in the near future (but can’t right this moment).

Much improved :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks to @moa and @Whaddon for sending me references of various poses to put him in!

(also, none of these poses use any kind of alternate support, he’s balancing on his own)

No problem!

I’m usually really uncreative when posing so I based it all on a bunch of references from random anime :laughing:

awesome, love how lithe and spooky looking he is

I know I’ve seen these before, but they’re really good.

May you receive all the Oscars!

It reminds me of 2003 General Grievous from Star Wars, I don’t know why.

Lanky, skeletal structure containing black bones with white armor.

Not sure why they look similar :stuck_out_tongue:

I wonder if anymore Poses will happen

I’m considering to do more, just need some time to actually get it all set up :slight_smile:
