Nice MOC! But what does self-moc even mean?

I like how flexible the figure is, and white-blue is a very nice colorsceme.

Also interesting use of those spring-shooter rockets as sword handles

I think he means that he did not have any inspiration from other people or  techniques, but I am not sure.

@Ransom Fern Nice creation! I love how the legs are on the bulkier side but the torso is more slender if that makes sense. I do love the swords aswell.

No. A self-MOC means that the creator intended for this MOC to represent himself.

Oh alright! Thank you for the explanation, and keep up the good work.

Thanks, the bulky legs are kind of unintentional. I made them as slim as I could and it still ended up kinda big

Ok great, so I'm not crazy, this really was a thing right?

Yes, and even to this day, some MOCists, especially Bionicle/CCBS MOCists keep building self-MOCs.
