ZCerberus Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Handrid is one of four known living dragons to be trained by the Dragon Masters. He was sired from the male dragon Harbone and the female dragon Dravin, twin of Dronis. Handrid is the only known dragon to be bred in captivity. As such, Handrid was favored by the Dragon Master leader Zar Strongfist even though Handrid is small for a dragon of his species. When dragons are trained by the Dragon Masters, their front claws are bound together. After the training is complete, the chains are broken in the Freeing Ceremony. If the dragon attempts to flee it is killed, if it remains loyal, it is never to be chained together again, though the chains are left in place as a symbolic gesture of breaking the dragon. During the battle between the Zugal and the Dragon Masters, Handrid defended Dragon Keep honorably, though the keep was ultimately lost and Handrid fled into the Rakath mountains as the Dragon Masters escaped to find their kin. Anzar Strongfist, son of Zar, seeks to discover where Handrid has fled. **********About the MOC********** This is a slightly beefed up version from the Fracture Collab, thought the major elements remain the same. He is actually quite sturdy with the new Mixel/Legend Beast ball joints, at least after I did some reinforcement here and there. A few of these shots can only been seen here on EB and not in the Flickr photostream! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Nice dragon! I've been hoping for some close ups! So the Dragon Masters lost the battle then? Quote
Lady K Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Very impressive dragon! I really like the wings, very realistic looking. The shape of head is well done too. The new Mixels are certainly providing nice parts. Quote
Torgar Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Awesome, I really like the use of olive green. Edited June 4, 2014 by Torgar Quote
Infernum Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Nice! Love the use of the Croc legend beast's eyes! Love the olive too! Quote
MassEditor Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Some excellent parts usage here (I guess now I'll actually have to go get some of those Chima things with the mixel parts) especially the shaping of the horns on the top of his head and the wings (are those flying jibs from the Black Pearl set?). The stand and posing are pretty sweet too! Good work dude! Quote
mccoyed Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Excellent work. Been toying with an idea for a brick-built dragon series w/ Mixels and Legend Beast parts. Especially those Croc eyes because they are just perfect. I also love the mythos/story behind the dragons. It is very well thought out and leaves me wanting to hear more. Quote
Gunman Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Really nice base/rock for presentation... I like its horns very much. Beautiful model! Quote
Gideon Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Lots of nice parts usage here, and I like the overall impression of the dragon. One thing that worked very well are those tan rounded inverted tiles as the chest of the dragon, simple but just perfect! Quote
Scaevola Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Great, I like those rounded plates as the dragon's underbelly Quote
Gary The Procrastinator Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Now that's the way to do a dragon. Besides the outstanding build, I love the way you have him climbing up the rock for a full pose. Quote
-Carson Haupt- Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I love the dragon, and the base really finishes it out. Quote
MKJoshA Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 It's great to see some more of the story to this collab. Are we going to get more of it as time goes on? Quote
ZCerberus Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 It's great to see some more of the story to this collab. Are we going to get more of it as time goes on? Why yes you are- and I have collaborators! Nocturnus... the most intriguing of lands! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Impressive dragon! I really like the head design and the wings look great as well Quote
-Horizon- Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Nice Job Zcerberus! The cloth wings and the Olive Green add a lot to him. And nice use of the Chima Croc eyes. Quote
Ecclesiastes Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I love the dealing on the head and tail. And I really should get me some of those mixel joints!! Quote
Kayne Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 GoH needs more dragons....this one is just too good to be left alone! Quote
