Hero Factory MOC: Daedraby `Rahiden

DescriptionDetailsShare
Download JPG 1399 × 900
This MOC was a relatively quick build, as per request by ~twisteddragon2, to make my version of his MOC Daedra. Come to think of it, Daedra is my third MOC built as per request (along with these two). It's not my best work, definitely, but there are some aspects that I like about him.

The original can be seen here. The concept is centred around the Phantoka ribcage, with a demonic style and Evangelion-esque build. As you can see, I've made my own alterations, most notably the tail.
Hope you like!

Critique by ~Sora-the-Bisharp Sep 28, 2012, 6:34:26 PM
Hot damn, yet another creation from the Deviant mocist Rahiden! It's been a while since he's posted a new moc. I mean, it's not an original character of his, but it's new! I'm getting a tad off topic, so let's get down to the nitty- gritty! We have an excellent use of the 2008 Phantoka ribcage outside of using the default Makuta torso. We also see fabulous use of XPlode and Raw Jaw (I believe that's the name) heads to form a much more demonic looking and original headpiece. However, I do think that the creation is lacking a bit. It's a bit much, but this IS a critique after all. I feel that the creation wasn't given enough armor. I know its supposed to be light, but it doesn't seem to hold up with the head. The back armor is plenty, but the front is lacking a tad. I feel that the legs aren't original enough and their armor is lacking as well. Finally, I think he could've been pictured in more dynamic poses, if it's possible. Outside of this, this a great recreation in the eyes of mocist.

Let me start by saying, the overall build is fantastic. It's got a great overall shape, and good color balance, though at some point you lost whatever "Eva-esque" traits you were trying to foster.

As far as vision goes, you're working within a fixed "field" and you did pretty well within it. You maintained the color scheme, and kept the most important "part" of the design in tact. In this case, though, there's at least one trait that the original definitely did better, and that's the hands. While they're quite long on the original, they were much more claw-like, and have a more pleasing overall design.

When it comes to originality, you're usually one of the best. Within that context, though, not a lot of this is used in ways I've never seen done before. It's not "surprising" or "Challenging" by the standards you yourself set.

Before I continue, great job ignoring the pressure and actually using a (modified) HF skeleton for the limbs. Most people just do not have the guts to do that, and I want to commend you for your bravery on that front. That said, it doesn't display your "technique" at all, and between the generic claws and the really bad use of Mata feet, coupled with the needless inclusion of Stars feet on the shoulders do a lot to detract from the overall shape of the upper body.

Despite the overall weakness of the limbs, the MOC has an exceptional torso design, and the head leaves nothing to be desired. No MOC is perfect, but this one is fairly memorable.

The description should say Phantoka ribcage, by the way.

Do you still have this guy? Because I think you could put him in Hero Faffory as one of Nightmare's minions!

Yes, he's still around. You've actually stumbled upon the exact way in which I'm planning to introduce him :D

I have to admit that I don't really like the Daedra much anymore... the torso is the only area that I like, and a lot of the rest is just filler. It's a good thing that he doesn't use any useful parts, otherwise I suspect he'd be dismantled by now!

Well, I've been playing The Elder Scrolls for like 8 years now... and it really does look awesome, in that perspective. XD

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh love it, this is awesome. I remember when I was younger and all my Bionicle sets and how many creatures I'd make with them. This makes me want to start it up again.
