Hero or Monster entry Darkling

[lockdownTF]

This my entry to the hero or monster competition.

The story is that basically hes a hero who was infected by a brain parasite right off the assembly line who managed to sneak into the hero factory headquarters undetected. one of its first acts was to slaughter His newly constructed team before going on escape and going on the run.

More pictures below. Also hate to ask but can someone tell me how to deep link a picture to my moc's mocpage so I can make it a proper legal entrant?

It's....ok...... would've preferred a more extreme mutation though.

I like that you didn't go for the straight half and half, and kept it more subtle with slight changes all around the body.

The waist is pretty thin, which stands out amongst the otherwise sold builds. It's a bit jumbled overall; the mutations don't seem to have much of a consistent theme, and neither do the Hero parts.

Obviously the Ignika is pretty iconic for BIONICLE, but you made it work well with the brain slug.

Um ok anything more specific you didn't like about it?

It was initially my intention to focus the mutation on one side of the moc. I also wanted to avoid mixing inika gold and gun metal on this moc cos although I like both colours I don't think they go together especially well. the infected side arm was orginally going to be a tentacle but I couldn't find the part I wanted and settled for the claw instead. As for the ignika mask well for one thing it was one of the few masks I had that fitted the brain slug and also I just like using rare masks like that on my mocs.

If the set I'm waiting for with a blue brain slug arrives I might try a different idea that involves using barraki glow in the dark pieces to represent mutations.

I do like how it's spread in different places as opposed to half.

I like the color scheme.

I would like to think my only problem with this is the waist.

But still great entry and good luck!
