I'm sure you all know how it is: Sometimes you're straining to craft a monolithic vision of glory, carefully fitting only the most ideal of pieces together in an intricate pattern, disasembling and reasembling until everything is as you envisioned it... And sometimes you're just idly amusing yourself. rocket-powered D'Kora lizarda bat-thing of some sortIntix, the lil'est Dark HunterMad Hand... yeahMaybe you're trying to encorperate a part you don't use often, coming up with surreal rahi, creating an oddball charecter, or just being wierd for the sake of wierd, but we've all done it.

1. 3/10, crap arms and prefab legs but ok body 2. 2/10 I guess the head and wings are kinda original but apart from that pretty suck 3. 4/10 would work as a small set but otherwise very average 4. 1/10 it's an axxon hand on a doomatoran body with massive legs. edit: changed scores

Thanks for sharing the MOC doodles. I actually prefer the smaller scale creations because you can see what's going on with their construction. I was thoroughly amused.

Nice to know somebody got the point. Too many people get so wrapped up it how big and/or complicated they can make an MOC--or any work of art--that they forget their roots. I should know, I've done it too. That's what I liked about the Voya-Nui matoran; their open-ended design encouraged people to experiment. All the parts were already released, some in over a dozen colors, and the body lent itself well to small tweaks and substitutions. That was their charm, and just because LEGO seems to have forgotten that doesn't mean we should too. Sometimes you just want to doodle a bit. ;D (Ah yes, the ol' Social Commentary Mode. Something I forgot to mention in my ill-fated introduction.)

The lack of creativity in these things is amazing. Just amazing.
Honestly, something neat to look at would be nice from you. I mean, come on, a hand with legs? Oooh, so crazy and outside of the box, that one is.
It's a little dissapointing.

It's probably supposed to be an artistic masterpiece rather than a rocket dino

I think it has a lot of character. "Rocket Dino" is apt. (and to you spastic haters: if you don't have anything nice to say, just lurk.)

The spastic would come from the apparent lack of inhibition control. See above.

The amount of inhibitions one has directly correlate to the failure of one's social life

"to be honest anything to get rid of you would have been cool" "The lack of creativity in these things is amazing. Just amazing." "I was really interested in this topic till i read the first post" Carbunicle is right. I'm sure Xero Storm won't mind constructive criticism, but posts like these are really not necessary.
