Bionicle MOC: Big Daddyby *3rdeye88

Traditional Art / Sculpture / Lego

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!

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.

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.

What do you think?

I don't say this often, but I'll say it now: Damn, I wish I had made this moc. In fact, I'd really like to make this moc and fix a few things in my opinion, but this is such a great redition!

Epic use of the canister lid (I'll have to find one now, threw mine away...), same with the flexies, those are epic!

Too be honest, I think that the hands are out of scale, the drill could be bigger and longer, and the hand could be bigger. The base of the drill should be something else, I can't put my finger on it, but I gotta say, that wheel piece was the wrong piece to use. Some flatter wheel woulda been better.

The wheels on the legs are clever, my one comment would be that I think you should have somehow incorporated the lighter rings on the legs, and the kneecap would not have been too hard I think.

As you said, the proportions are a bit off, I think that if anything, I would have made him more cartoonishly bulky and short than the original, but that's just me. It's honestly fine the way it is.

I know it sounds like a lot of criticism, but I am in LOVE with this moc! Massive kudos to you for tacklink this character, you did a great job, especially considering that you didn't use all the parts you could have.
