 This week's winner is Arpy with his MOC, Nui-Rama! The Nui-Rama was one of the first Rahi released by BIONCILE in its beginning. Arpy's revamp of this classic set is a worthy choice for winner of the final MOCotW! He managed to keep an almost entirely orange color scheme, and did an awesome job using Mahri visors and Zamor Spheres as eyes! I like the use of Hahli Mahri wings, and the consistant use of orange claws preserves the original Nui-Rama feel nicely. The build is 100% custom, and the design is full of win. Congratulations Arpy on your win, and to everyone else, keep MOCing, as you may one day be featured as winner of MOC of the Week! |   |

Custom - The more custom
your creation is, the better. Custom MOCs really show the skill of the
MOCer. Still, you have to make the customness work. A custom MOC that
doesn't look the greatest will lose to a non-custom MOC that looks
awesome.
2. Name - Yep, as small as it may seem, a good name is actually a big part of catching my attention for MOCotW. If you have "A Dark Hunter" as the name for your MOC, you'll be less likely to win than if you named it something cool. "A Dark Hunter" is good for a subtitle in the MOC's topic, but not for the actual name. 3. Picture - THIS IS A BIG ONE! Make sure that when you take pictures of your MOCs, you have plenty of good lighting. Nothing ruins an MOC more than a really dark picture. Make sure that your images are clear, and not blurry, and try to have as clean and pure of a background/backdrop as possible. 4. Pose - Don't just stand your MOC straight up. Do something cool with the poses, have it running, or shooting something, or just showing off its weapons, etc. 5. Color Scheme - Another big one. Color schemes are very important to me when judging MOC of the Week, and there have been many, awesome, even custom MOCs that haven't won MOCotW because their color scheme could have used improvement. 6. Recommendations - If a lot of people are recommending a specific MOC as winner, I'll pay a lot of attention to that MOC. Also, don't be afraid to PM me with a link to your own MOC. Just be sure to tell me why you think it's worthy of winning. |
