With all these sweet new sculpts coming out and me getting back into the hobby, I can't help but look at my disassembled Oyoroi and want to bring it into the new decade. Was curious what my fellow jsa players think about this project so far.
It's an improvement. There was soooo much room they left you to improve on that model. ( I'm not a fan of Evangelion or the evangelion-inspired lines of the O-yoroi, so I converted a gui-jia for my JSA. Made it look more like a bigger, badder domaru big-brother).
I really really like the conversion, especially the Sashimono. Unfortunately my sculpting skills are very bad. Just one suggestion. Maybe you could add some armor on the upper legs, like on the arms?
What were you thinking, like an armored skirt or free hanging armored panel off the side? I also wanted to sculpt an oni mask on it but my skills unfortunately are not up to it.
Yes, something like that. Like the overlaping panels from an historical O-Yoroi armor. Maybe so that it looks like the Domaru thigh armour.
Hmmm thats a good point but im not sure how to approach that. The legs have a lot of details i like, its very elegant and curved. Having to mold something on or over it is difficult to fit aesthetically. Im thinking maybe v-shaped segmented plates that follows the contour from the knee down. Im definitely going to mold over the foot to have a "toe" showing like its an armored sandal or something.
Today's update... She's been hitting the leg press and thigh master... -attached the HI artificial muscles to thicken the legs profile -also added a trim to round out the segmented shoulder pads -reshaped the feet to look like sandals -sharpened the details on the helmet crest Should I add armored greaves over the leg and muscles or might that be overkill? What do you guys think about the feet? Let me know!
Better get to it, I bet there is going to be a ton of tag resculpts for the tag raid kickstarter... My poor wallet. I'm going to be sad if they do an amazing resculpt of the oyoroi and put all my current work to shame :(
Even if they resculpt the O-Yoroi, I don't think your work will be for nothing. Looks great to me. Keep on working...
Today's update, - added trim to each segment of the shoulder pads - made the top piece of the armored greaves under the knee. 2 additional v plate segments will be added under this. Almost done I think, unless anyone have any more ideas to add to this mech.
Except I already have a second Oyoyoy, hate unneeded Kickstarter releases and don't want to support limited editions. I can wait.
I think I'm done... The anime is strong here lol - added trim to the segmented plates on the neck - added segmented plates on the legs - blanked out the daiyokai icon on the flags What do u guys think ?
look on the bright side now that its revealed that tag deathmatch to just be a commercial conflict 2 with mining companies on dawn...
