HatBricks Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 My entry for the Nature is After You category: Reeksa Root Retrieval! This MOC is based on Season 1 Episode 18 of Star Wars the Clone Wars: Mystery of a Thousand Moons. In this scene, Anakin and Obi-Wan travel down a crevice on the planet Iego (with an i not a L) in order to find the cure for the Blue Shadow Virus: the Reeksa root. But upon finding the root, the Jedi find themselves attacked by the deadly Reeksa! (I guess the root is named after the monster/plant) I really liked the idea of depicting Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting off the Reeksa on the side of a wall, I really wanted to play with the verticality. In the episode, the Jedi retrieve the root from a crevice in the ground, and it was fun layering the plant pieces within the ground to try and recreate that. The majority of the build is the rock wall, I made sure to make more use of SNOT bricks this time around to give more variety to the rock face, but also to make sure that the plant work could be layered within. I didn’t have the best selection of parts on hand to create the Reeksa with it being very organic and bendy, but I’m decently happy with how it turned out, It was important to portray the arcing movement as if it’s on the attack. Took some inspiration from the sandman build from the daily bugle. Quote
MKJoshA Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 I really like how you used the seaweed part as roots, especially the one built into the ground. Quote
