So in april I had built an moc for a contest on Bzpower, Figured I’d also showcase it overhere since not sure how many members are also over there. So without further ado I present Valen
Truth be told I was just trying to build something simple but more complex than my standard mocs, but also combined a nice mixture of old technic and CCBS, branching out a bit really. I typically suck at custom torsos but I like to think I did decently with this one.
Not sure whether this MOC is for a male or female creation, as doesn’t seem to specify, however either way I’m not too much of a fan of the nuva shoulder pieces being used on the chest. Just seems like an odd choice given it pushes out the upper chest a lot compared to the rest of the custom body.
In terms of the rest of the design, I like it a lot though. The Axonn mask works well with the generally spiky design of the MOC reflected in its weaponry and its arm spikes. I like the use of the Skull Spider masks as shoulder pads, haven’t seen them incorporated in too many MOC’s unfortunately, but nice seeing them anyway.
Overall a very intriguing looking MOC, with my only suggestion being to potentially change the Nuva shoulder pieces to create a flatter looking chest, but that’s up to you
nice moc the only thing that you could change is the arms I suggest use a slightly longer bone piece for the under arms so the proportions work better.
Truth be told the chest is not meant to be anything but a chest. Truth be told the only reason I chose nuva shoulder pads is because they did an excellent job of covering the otherwise horrible/messy looking components underneath. However I do realize that many people use them as ‘nuvaboobs’ as people so simply put it, but that is not what I was going for. However it’s hard for people to see them as anything else it seems.
And I agree about the forearms. I had wanted to make them longer but alas the only pieces I had either would have been too long, or I didn’t have any armor shells that covered them somewhat decently.
So actually recently updated Valen a bit, after taking some advice from what people have said. The arms are a stud longer, which oddly make them look really long now, and the chest has been changed, which in turn forced a new head and mask to be used. Some internal bits in the torso were changed to make it more stable but nothing too drastic worth really noting.
