MOC: HF Bear

[wghost]

Hi everyone,

I'm quite a newbie at MOCing (I'm usually just modifying my sets), but last time I've tried to design a Hero Factory bear in LDD. My initial idea was to use solely the elements of 2 Stringer 3.0 sets - given the inventory of them I tried to mimic the structure of Raw-Jaw to have a simple yet effective build with a quadrupedal, bearish outlook. My initial concept was to have a larger hind leg section than the shorter frontal area as opposed to Raw-Jaw's design where the emphasis is more on the arms rather than the legs. Unfortunately, when I was in the middle of all the LDD fun/creative process it suddenly crashed and my PC cannot open the program anymore. What I have from a previous save is a rather schematic model without even posing - yeah, it's bland.

What I would appreciate are comments, criticism, further ideas and planning with my file. I hope this thread is legit and is not against the forum rules. Thank you in advance!

EDIT: the frontal paws were supposed to have three claws on each one but the LDD didn't let me to apply all of them.

It won't let me see the bear.

I don't have LDD. Can you post just a regular image, like a .jpg or .png? Do you know how to take screenshots?

For those who don't have LDD or don't want to download the file:

Back Side

Top Side

Alternative Front Side

Overall, its a good start to a Bear MOC. However, I do want to point out the gap between the bodies is quite annoying and probably not the best choice of connection. It is decent looking though, especially given the limited parts, and does look very much like a bear (the helmet does help though).

I might play with the file later and adjust a few things, if you don't mind wghost.

Sure, go ahead. Thanks!

Thanks for the comments/opinions - yeah, the torso IS gappy.
