The Antidermis pool (Gilahu's Brotherhood Project Makuta WIPs)

Too late :stuck_out_tongue:

Completely forgot to post it here, but I redid the arm again:

Currently working on the wing membranes.

Wing number one finished:

Decided to make it out of cloth scraps because a) it saves material, and b) it gives Spiriah a bit of a rough look

Hi! Been quite a while since I was here lol, had more or less forgotten this site. Love what you did with the character, an improvement in my eyes!

What are your thoughts on people building these for their own collections?

Everyone’s free to do so.

I build these MOCs because I enjoy the process, and I share them because I think others might enjoy them, too. So if anyone gets inspired by my MOCs or even wants to copy them I take that as a compliment.

Spontaneously started on a Gorast (which is definitely somewhat inspired by Gringat’s rendition)

Obviously lacking a pauldron and I think it also needs a certain something yet (maybe cloth?), but right now I’m primarily wondering - are those weapons too large or not?

I feel like they are at a good size. Bionicle weapons are always a bit bigger than in reality.

This is Gorast – if anything, I’d argue the weapons might be too small :stuck_out_tongue: . Good designs though.

How secure are the masks on Belgahn’s shoulders?

Very secure, from what I remember. Didn’t have him in hand for a while and currently also don’t have him at hand, but from what I remember there’s no chance that they’ll fall off without actually pulling them off.

Am home again now, here’s the build. Due to the width of the mask it can’t really wiggle, and the liftarm into bar connection also has quite some friction. No chance of the mask falling off by accident.


Also pulled my Krika out of storage - I think he’s in need of an overhaul. Most certainly a new head, and probably I’m going to redo most of the rest, too. If anyone wants to point out anything else that specifically needs work, feel free to make suggestions.

You’ve almost got a really good colour blocking, black with white boots and chestplate (and mask). If the hands, hips, and maybe that bit on the stomach that holds the Skrall armour were black instead of white, I think the colors would look more cohesive.

Redid the upper torso, how’s this?

Came up with a new head for Krika. Not as sturdy as I normally like my custom heads, but I’m currently inclined to let it slide… Opinions?

The head could be a little longer in my opinion; maybe you could fit a white visorak leg piece on top

How’s this?


Though it kinda starts reminding me of Takadox now.

Right on! The head looks more like the kanohi crast, and the shaping/coloration looks better to me in general.

I feel like the fangs make it look rather monstrous; maybe small spikes would be better? Unless that’s what you’re going for.

The problem with small barbs is that they don’t have the necessary width at the base. Though they are also not meant to be fangs - I kinda see it rather as a “mustache”. :stuck_out_tongue:

I justify the length with how the mutated version also has similar extensions.
