Bionicle MOC: Melanthios V1.

Published:

Description

Melanthios was a minor character in the Odyssey, he was a goatheard who gets killed. I liked the name, and the loose association to goats, so "Satyr" became Melanthios.

I'm not at all satisfied with this MOC. Its probably going to get taken apart and I'm going to start over. I like the torso, but seeing as how he's supposed to fit inside The Innenrrad I probably won't even be keeping that. about the only thing I rather like on this MOC are his hooves(even though they make him impossible to stand), the color scheme, and I kinda like the way the head came out, but that's also probably too big for the over all scheme of things. I also kinda dislike that I made his weapon so similar to the satyrs in God Of War, which was the main inspiration for this MOC. However, Melanthios is a good guy, so making it that similar to something that's an enemy in the game kinda defeats the purpose of making a good guy satyr. Again, not at all satisfied.

Overall, I'm thinking that a Satyr is the wrong thing to have piloting the Innenrrad since space is so limited. I really could use some feedback on this one. Feedback, comments, and critiques would be appreciated. Thanks guys. :)

So, here I am, once again, to review one of your great works. I must fairly say that I like the overall moc alot, but somehow, something seems off. I don't really know what it is, ut this moc imprresses me less then your other works.
Well, to start with what I really like: The blue hoses on the back and the purple that clashes with the brown. The colorscheme is siply stunning and cool.
I do think that somehow, the gunmetal is a bit out of place here, but looking at what parts you had to work with, I could hardly adress that as a complaint. The weapon itself is quite striking too, and it looks pretty menacing, albeit pretty impractical too. That's more something to say about the deesigners of the game you based it on though. (If I come across nitpicky, sorry, it's not intended like that at all <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>)
As for suggestions, to be far I'd choose a whole different themed moc fr the Innenrad, as the mythical beast and theuperior piece of technology don't seem to match.
If you do insist on working with a Satyr themed moc, I could only say that you should keep the colourscheme and downscale the whole thing to 2/3rd's of the original size..

Anyways, great work as always, I'm curious about what's to come!
