Description Oh my god, finally T.T
Besides the head, I overworked everything!
Upgraded arms, which fit their themes way better than the old ones did and they are also able to carry a lot of weigth!
I had to develop a whole new kind of shoulder joints in order to make him able to lift his arms!
New legs, which make him able to stand stabile and fit better to his big feet.
The dragon-claw is now slimmer and flexible and the sea serpent arm now is able to lift the sword even over Byoraks head! (soon going to post a picture as proof)
The parts of his previous shoulder protectors, now form the new chest together with a jet-like part, which fits surprisingly well in there.

This is not the finished new version of Byorak, but it's the best I'm currently able to do. For christmas, I'm going to get new parts, which I need to upgrade Byorak further, so there are still a few details in this version, which I'd like to change (like his shoulder protectors).
At this point, I have some questions to ask:
(1)
Do you want to see new pictures of him now or after christmas, when he's further upgraded (basically only a few details)?
(2)
Do you think the head is too small now? O.รด

Yeah the newest pic of Byorak, but still with old head. I'm gonna make so freaking cool posture pictures of him with all my weapons, as soon as his new arms are done.
The legs and hip he already has are just perfect, but I'm only showing them as soon as his whole body is done

Just when you think it can't get any better, you find a way to make it that way. Looks great dude. I'd say this is either on par with my stuff or even better. Its so tight and flowing. To answer your question, yes the head is too small now. I have this same problem with Ryakk. His head is too small but I'm not quite sure how to make it bigger and still retain that shape. Also could you perhaps show me how you did his shoulder joint system? I'm looking for a stable system that I could perhaps adapt to My bigger guys or give to Atlas. I'd be willing to do a "technique trade" with you or something.

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2010-12-19 17:43:25 +0000 UTC]

You know what? I tried to copy your joint system xD (of course if I had used it, I would have asked you beforehand if I were allowed to)
But in the end your system wasn't strong enough to hold the arm ^^"
A technique-trade would be okay for me ^^ Because I'd really like to know how the hydraulic system for your mototaur works. I have some of those hydraulic parts and I really would like to use them somehow on a new moc ^^
I think, I gonna try to build a bigger head, as soon as I have the new parts xD

Also, thanks for your watch. I'm really honored that you like my mocing ^^

Which shoulder system? The one from the big guys or the one off something else? Atlas's is an alright system its just that his back is to weak and doesn't hold up his body+his hammer. So yeah if your shoulder system is pretty strong I'm dieing to see it.

Ah okay well I've actually just upgraded that to. It used to have just the two pistons operating the torso lift but that was highly unstable so I added a third one(since I found it) sliced it into the hose system, that was an experiment to see if it'd work and it does. Then rebuilt the entire lower half of his torso, and now I'm working on redesigning the legs since now its all gotta be redone. But I'm having a hard time coming up with new compact joint systems that are strong enough to hold up all that bad ass MOC. The problem is the lower I get on the legs the more compact I want them to get, but then the more support I need because it has to hold up that much more weight from everything above it. Style wise you guys are gonna like the pretty significant changes I've made, I'm rather impressed with a few of them myself. HEHEH.

Oh and don't worry about it. I'd followd you be fore I just accidentally deleted a lot of people because I lost track of who was who when cleaning up my watchers list.

I've tried to copy the shoulder system of ryakk ^^" (mototaur has currently the same one, doesn't he?)
Sounds interesting, I hope everything'll work out for your mototau, he's a great moc and it would be cool if he could be improved even more ^^
Oh yeah, my shoulder system is up now ^^

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Alex-Darkrai [2010-12-20 18:09:57 +0000 UTC]

yeah, moto, ryakk, and Mechus all have the same shoulder technique. I think I might try and do a hybrid of your technique and mine. I'll try and integrate what you did into mine. It wouldn't be too hard to do that I think, just hard to figure out how to add it to the part of the shoulder that moves up and down laterally so that they can make sort of a "shrugging" motion.
Thanks. Well Hopefully I can get something done and up here before I have to possible move again. That might happen soon or in a little while I don't know yet.

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2010-12-20 18:18:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I did read that in your journal, so I wanted to upload my shoulder system as soon as possible, so you would be able to use it as soon as possible ^^"
Your, idea with the shrugging sounds interesting. I think I tried something similar on the wings of my greek sphinx, but sadly it didn't work, because the wings were to heavy. But I look forward to see your try on it ^^

Very nice There's only so much upgrading you can do to a MOC, but this is amazing. The torso is particularly well-done, in my opinion.

1. Depends how significant the pictures are
2. It is a bit on the small side, but I guess that just makes the rest of his body bigger.
3. Generally if you ask questions in the Artist's Comment, deviants usually forget to comment on the actual MOC

Alex-Darkrai In reply to Rahiden [2010-12-19 14:29:51 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the support ^^
Yeah, I'm pretty proud of his torso [link]
1. Slowly, I think, I'm gonna make two or three new pics with new poses of him, so every current upgrade can be seen ^^
2. Yeah, currently he still fits, but if he should become even bigger in the future, I think I must change the head ...
3. Oh, I never asked questions in a comment, so didn't realize that ^^"

1) after christmas so that way we can see the upgrades, though you could do both so we can get an idea of what's gonna change

2) It's a good size, you don't want to go all decorative on him too much

Alex-Darkrai In reply to DarkIce-421 [2010-12-19 14:15:29 +0000 UTC]

Hm, thanks for the support ^^
I'm definitely going to make pics after the further upgrades, but maybe I'm also gonna make some new ones before christmas ^^
Yeah, I also think the head is good like he is, but sometimes, this is just the subjective own view, so I wanted to hear some other opinions ^^
