Description In his hunger for power, Zero Star (chosen name for my personal MOC ) dove down into the deep dark sea in order to meet the makuta Chiriko . This is the reult of their meeting. Zero Star absorbed Chiriko and became Deep Star.

The creation:
As the text above says: I took Chiriko apart in order to create this one. I basically did that because I got some new glowing parts and I tought I could create something better than Chiriko, so I started from the scratch again.
And to sum that up:
I used four Takadox heads, two Gadunka heads, one Nocturn head, thirteen glowing Hydruka back plates and some other glowing details parts.

Creators Notes:
I'm damn proud of this! It took me quite some time to get everything the right way. I started with the head, which was done pretty fast. The upper torso with upper arms took some time, because I had to pay attention to the moveability of the arms. The lower arms took also some time, but now I'm quite satisfied. The lower torso gave me headaches, because it was too unstable at first, so I just made everything a bit thicker to make it more stable. I really like the legs, they only took me a day, but they came out quite well in my opinion.
Oh yeah, and he's glowing in the dark as seen in the first two pictures. I really love his eyes in the first picture, they look totally psycho xD

Now I'm certainly sure! I WILL build a new light box! It's just no fun working with mine anymore. It's always a pain totake the picture. I wanna have fun posing my MOCs!
Thanks for this critique! Now I'm convinced of improving my way of presenting (and posing, I truly feel rusty with that xD).

You're very welcome, I would have to say that the '7 Stars' are my favorite MOCs, very well thought out and made!

Well thanks, but all the seven Stars are not even done yet D-:
If I ever finish university and get an own apartment with room for my part & MOC collection, I can finally finish them xD

XD I feel ya, since I'm not 18 yet, I cant order parts online which means that I have to continuously tear apart MOCs, everyone has their own struggles

Showing off many different types of parts and how they could be used is what I like to do the most, so i'm happy if it inspires you do use them in your own way

Completely and utterly amazing. I love the incorporation of all the different glow-in-the-dark elements, especially how smoothly they fit in with the "deep sea" theme. Probably my favorite one of your builds ( no offence if you think some of your others are better ).
Also, I'd like to know, where did those beaked heads on his knees come from? I've always wondered about them, especially after *3rdeye88's Dottore build.

It's always nice to read a thoughtful comment
No no, you're right with 'best MOC'. I've already done some new MOCs which I would consider better when it comes to technique, but the overall look of Deep Star is one of the best which I have created yet.
I'm not sure which parts you mean: These or these ? I myself got both from bricklink, but you can find the sets where the parts are from through the links above ^^

No, that one is pretty good now. I've worked on his original version; Zero Star and I'm working on a new version too. btw.: Ground Star is also a version of him. Why? Do you think Deep star needs improvement?
