From TV shows, cartoons, and or video game art styles, what influenced/influences the look of your MOCs?
For example, one of my favorite video games of all time Mega Man Legends has a particular mechanical aesthetic I like to replicate on some of my MOCs, more specifically Bertram and his siblings.
In fact, here’s the whole Bonne family, the reason the Bauer family exists in the first place. Though the Bauer family MOC’s are only 1/3 completed.
For me it’s a lot of different things, and each MOC has it’s own inspirations. Gundam, Pacific rim, and various Anime, sometimes Transformers and the like.
It depends. Sometimes I just really like a design / character or I find a cool color combo I want to try. Individually it depends since I’ve got mecha, transformers, video games, etc. also sometimes I’m watching something and a moc based on it just kinda happens.
Honestly, just whatever Movie, TV show or book I’ve seen/read recently. Some big influence for a few of my Mocs were: Samurai Jack, Last of the Mohicans, Mad Max, and Fallout.
The last version of my SM was inspired by Ben Cossy and Gringat the Repugnant. I rarely get inspiration from non-LEGO media which sucks because it makes my stuff seem unoriginal
I’d say my style of moccing takes inspiration from sci-fi with its sleek and smooth designs, and ancient mesoamerican (Atzec) art and culture. Weird combination I know
Mine draw from several inspirations, mostly sci-fi (Star Wars, Dune, Transformers), as well as from absolutely random stuff that just appears in my head when I’m making them.
