[MOC] LORD OVERDEATH

[Mitch Henry]

This is a MOC that I've been working on since October 2020, but the character dates back to January 2020. I was having a conversation with a friend about the villain in F-Zero GX (named Lord Deathborn) and he misremembered the name as Lord Overdeath. I decided I had to build Lord Overdeath immediately. I compiled a list of ideas and reference pics and asked my friend Neal D Anderson (who did the artwork for BioCup 2020) to whip up a sketch of the character (link below)

My goal was to create a character that a 12 year old would think is the most amazing thing they've ever seen but an adult would only roll their eyes at. Everyone involved in the creation of the MOC had the time of their life with this character and I hope that shows. I'm very satisfied with the results and I'm really excited to show off what may be my best work to date.

Wow that is impressive. I like the choice of asymmetry and the head build

What is the piece used for the chest?

They are Galidor shield pieces from the set 8318.

Menacing figure, if in an over-the-top manner. Like the contrast between the light green and the deep red, adds a sort of lighting to the figure and adds to the effect. And those banners are a nice touch.
