MOC: Silva

This creation was made by Darkarious shade

I would suggest you turn the volume slider all the way down before hitting play, especially if you have headphones on, the music was a bit loud for me.

Darkarious shade‘s creation “Silva” is a very well designed MOC of a heavily armored character. Depicting a character covered in armor (or even made of it) can be a tricky job to pull off, especially when your working with pre-made plastic components and trying to fit them together as seamlessly as possible. Darkarious has done such a good job though, that Silva looks like a walking fortress.

The entire skeleton is custom built too, the torso and limbs are each made out of smaller technic pieces. There are also a lot of fun building tricks, like the Skull Spider mask connected to the wrist via the “ear clips”, which were only designed to connect to a G2 toa head. Ive used a similar trick to make a G2 mask display.

I can’t offer much in the way of constructive criticism on this one. At best, I could suggest swapping a few black or gray parts out for their silver variants. Perhaps something could cover the exposed arm just beneath the “Mask of Truth” shoulder armor a little better too?

You can see more of Darkarious shade’s creations here on youtube, where they showcase a combination of Toa, Titans, and other creatures. The videos are short slideshows, usually only a couple minutes long. They do a great job showing the creations from many angles, sometimes showing the underlying skeleton too, making them great videos to learn some building techniques from.
