MOC: Giraffe

[cylex7]

In a series of MOCs that I am doing, I give my family members and friends a list of nine colors and then ask them to pick an animal. ANY animal. I then, using only the parts from the sets given, create that animal. The color scheme may be off and some parts may be strange, but I see this as a challenge to my building skills and creativity. So without further ado, I present to you this Giraffe:

I like this MOC a lot more than your anteater. the head is nice but the tail is a bit weird because there is a hand on it and the legs could use some more armor. I rate it a 6/10.

Not as impressive as your anteater for sure, probably because of the limited parts selection. It still has a gangly cartoon animal look that works well for it, but its flat-looking torso doesn't really suit the design very well, and the head and tail are fairly bland. The colors are organized well, though, at least considering how few colored shells seem to have been available to you. They're scattered very nicely so no area is overwhelmingly one color.

There's a sort of artistry to MOCing within these strict constraints, especially considering the non-traditional designs you have employed, so even though this model is by no means beautiful I can still appreciate the work and creativity that must have gone into it.
