Swamp Beast (WIP)

Flickr Album

Spawned from the vile swamps of the jungle region, comes the Swamp Beast! With the power of the swamp inside of him, he features webbed shadow claws and the beast mask of shadow. Turn the wheel on his back to activate the “Shadow Claw Slash”, moving the arms back and forth in a rushing motion. With alge oozing out, this beast will challenge brave heroes of all kinds.

Features:

  • Beast Mask of Shadow,
  • Webbed Shadow Claws,
  • Transparent-Green Bones
  • “Shadow Claw Slash” Function
  • Lewa’s Corrupted Mask of Unity

Basically, I attempted at making a beast MOC. I enjoy the concept of the beasts, but it would of been nice to have a few more of them. This one actually turned out really nice in my opinion. For the function, I originally had a “Terak” function on a 2015 gearbox, but unfortunately, there was only one friction outlet available, so I couldn’t do that. I decided to compromise with a back and forth motion instead. It actually works pretty well for the most part, with enough friction to manage. As for the torso, if you look at my Flickr Album, It’s like Kulta’s Torso, but filled out much better. I was pleasantly surprised that I got some “side armor” with that armor add on in the back, which really helped fill things out. I may make some adjustments, like filling out those ball joints, and giving him a jaw, but I don’t really like the beast jaw, so I may just leave it as is. I hope you enjoy.

Constructive Criticism is always appreciated. Please be clean as always.

Good, but I think you should switch out the mask for a creature mask, when you can .
Same goes for the jaw.

interesting figure.

another moc that i will have to draw one day…

i should seriously get to draw some of the other mocs that i have chosen.

I’m really diggin’ the concept of him. And the color scheme. The lower leg/ankle configuration seems a bit odd though. It’s cool that you’re using the trans-green head as a sort of calf muscle. But the way it flows down to the foot isn’t as good.

Looks good so far, but maybe make it look less like a smaller Umarak without the horns. (I know Umarak doesn’t have claws or gunmetal grey, but to me it looks like a smaller Umarak)
