Prince of Whales

Thu Aug 20, 2009, 2:17 PM
  • Mood: Enjoying The Show
  • Listening to: Propane Nightmares - Pendulum
Well I'm back from my family holiday to Wales. I must admit that before I got there I thought the whole 'lots of sheep' thing was another one of those silly overdone steriotypes, but seriously it's no lie. If there is a field without sheep it'll usually be a bog, sometimes the sheep will be in the bog anyway. Mum also became obsessed with seeing a herd (that is the right word isn't it) of ponies that lived in a large open area near where we were staying.
We had some pretty eventful days, and some um... not so eventful ones. My favourates were mainly the ones in which we travelled on some railway or other.
There are some awful drivers in Wales, though. Not just the impatient ones who drive right up your backside and overtake on bends (whom my family now call 'sunroofers';) either. The worst offenders were the slow drivers, the people who insist on driving at 40 in 60 zones, and the situation wasn't helped by the windy roads which had few safe places to overtake. One day we missed a boat trip because of the vast numbers of slow drivers who held us up.
That aside, Wales is a beautiful country, with it's dramatic valleys and rocky mountains. Plus it all looks so brilliant from the top of Mt. Snowdon (which we climbed DOWN, we took the train up).

Anyways, I'm gonna post a couple of pictures from the holiday sometime soon. Untill then, see ya'll.

Hi I was browsing through your bionicle section and I have to say very nice job. You achieve a level of complexity I find hard to get in the smaller characters. Please check out my gallery and comment on them. I could also use some tips possibly if you think my smaller stuff could use it. I really like your style on these. I know I have a few things that you will really like. Thank you.

As soppy as this may sound, I'm quite honoured that you complimenting me on my creations when I'd never be able to create something as amazing as yours in a month of sundays.

As for my methods, I usualy like to keep the initial build simple and bulk it out afterwards. Most of my creations use the standard arm and leg build seen in sets nowadays, this is mainly because lack the parts to make any decent alternatives. To make up for this I like to invent different ways of creating and attaching armour onto existing pieces. Just try sticking two, seemingly random, parts together and see what you get.

You can also try integrating standard lego into a MoC. If done right the results can be pretty amazing and it also means you have a wider range of parts that can be added to bulk up a model or help make intricate areas. I've never been able to pull this off too well, though.

I hope this helps you, at least in a small way. You definitely have great talent when it comes to large scale models and I think you could pull of some great small ones too.

It's like being served iced dog turd. Sure it's unusual and interesting to look at, but at heart it's just a pile of shit.

WOW thank you for such a compliment. Sometimes I get the whole "wow that means a lot coming from you" kinda thing. Some people think I'm some great bionicle MOC maker, and I'm really not. I didn't just sit down one day and poof there's Mototaur, Ryakk, and Gravix(the third Colossal sized MOC I have, that's not on here yet). Its taken me many years to get to the point where I can build these type of things. Most MOCist build something then later take it apart, not me, I let my MOCs grow. I've had Ryakk for about five years now, and he originally was a kikinallo that I modified. I kept improving, kept going bigger until he is what you see today. Ryakk was my first colossus figure, mototaur is the third and Gavix is the second. I used a refinement process with these, and I do it to some degree with the smaller ones to. I keep the good designs I make, then improve on the bad ones until they are good or work the way I need them to. I have a picture of Ryakk and mototaur, as well as some others as they used to look in 06. You'll see that some things are the same, and that other things are drastically different. So I'm not super skilled, I just have been doing it for a while. I really can't just sit down in a day and make a really good MOC. There's really no need for you to feel honored. I don't consider myself any better of a MOCist than you. There are MOCist who I consider myself better than, but they are the ones who don't really do anything innovative with bionicle, not like you and I.

I really like your style. I like that you find unusual ways to make these pieces fit together. I try to do that and I can to some degree, but you are really good at it. I think if I could use your technique on my MOCs that would be incredible!

The bigest drawback to having the big guys, is no one looks past them to see the smaller stuff. I have more smaller guys than big ones, and no one ever comments on my character design for the smaller stuff, not like they do the bigger ones. I know the big stuff is great I don't need reassurance on them, its the smaller guys I really want the feedback on and to get all the detailed opinions and compliments.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (sorry this's a bit late!)

Also...
Check it out dude! I now have an avatar! (albeit a poor one) but i think it's recognisable as a wolf skull in front of a blood red moon? I hope?
:iconkhanco:
~Khanco Jan 27, 2009, 2:12:16 PM
Thanks, don't worry about lateness!

And there is no way that avatar is poor, it's by far better than mine. It is, in fact, awesome.
