Bionicle MOC: Big Daddy

Description

About The MOC
Well...I don't think this needs a whole lot of introduction. I built Big Daddy from the Bioshock franchise of video games. I had contemplated making my own version of BD after every other lego or bionicle version I've seen failed to impress me. Seeing and playing him as a character in Playstation All Stars Battle Royal finally pushed me over the edge to actually take a crack at building Big Daddy.
The build was initially very challenging to me because I had no idea how I was going to approach some key aspects of the MOC, like the portholes. The helmet and drill were actually figured out a long time ago. Those were the easiest parts, the hard part was EVERY THING ELSE! :phew:
Overall I'm content with the MOC. The proportions are off from the actual character. His Body isn't as bulky in the back or sides as the original, and I think this in turn makes the legs too long. BD's legs are stubbier than they are hear. I think the thing to consider though is this isn't a MOC made with any and ever part I needed, this was a MOC made with what I happened to have at the time. With that being said, I'm happy with how he turned out. :meow:

"Big Daddy," "little sister," Bioshock, and the bioshock logo are all owned by Irrational Games. I claim no ownership to any intellectual Property other than the MOC and photos of said MOC.

Ok, I get annoyed as fuck from all of these 5 star fanboy critiques, so I feel obliged to be actually constructive to this figure. So I'm just gonna start from the ground up and blah blah blah you get the drift.
The legs and body and head are very well done, the mix of brown gun metal and some silver makes it look old and rustic. I like the head especially, though the green stands out a tad bit, maybe just trans clear if it exists? The back of the moc looks messy and disorganized, which is accurate to the actual character. Unfortunately, the arms are small, wimpy, and short. Please man, fix those arms D:
========================================
Vision.
The vision is pretty damn good, very rustic and clunky looking and fits damn well to Big Daddy. I think the only thing I'm iffy on is the tires, but maybe that's just me.
========================================
Originality.
Originality is high on this one, I see very few Big Daddy mocs, so you deserve the credit for that.
========================================
Technique
The technique here is pretty standard, nothing extremely special or new or interesting. So it's just average, I rate technique a lil bit above is because the way you did the cage is pretty smart.
========================================
Impact.
The impact here is pretty good, and there isn't anything new to say for it. The armor looks good and the bulkiness is pretty accurate and makes it look old.
