Description
About The MOCPeletuma Battledwarf turned out to be a spur of the moment MOC for me. The inspiration to build him came from seeing one of 0nuku 's MOCsΒ Β and wanted to try building my own little dude. Though mine turned out somewhat...beefier.
Another big inspiration here is I've been playing Magic: The Gathering a lot with friends and co-workers lately, so I wanted to build something more mythical looking. I'd say he's a cross between something from Magic and LOTR as those were the two fantasy elements I had in mind.
"Paleltuma" means "Frostbite" in Finnish. Thanks to my buddy Monarth for telling me that.
Paleltuma's main weapon is his hammer/axe. I couldn't decide which one to give him so I figured out a way where he had both. Its a hammer and an axe.
Then he has his buzzsaw axe and a shield as secondary weapons. I quite like that his shield is as big as he is. I also tried to make him have a braided chain beard as well as a Dwarvish looking battle helmet.Additional photos can be viewed at his Flickr Gallery

Hey. HEEEEEEEEEEEY. So at the end I didn't comment this? SERIOUSLY?
Okey, let's get into it. Already told you that I would suggest to put the eyes of this dwarf between the mask and the Technic parts, for example studs on the upper part of the pieces where you put the moustache, for a more aggressive look. So let's take that out of the way. Let's go for the critique! Sorta. Since it's short. And I don't critique too much. ^^"
The issue of the proportions have been already exposed and defended. I would add anything more, but a suggestion of make the torso a bit longer and, maybe, add some textiles (like blue minifig capes or nets). Love the additions of those spike bits to the Protector feet, both for the toes and the chains; and also the chest which looks nice. The head is however the best part of the MOC, that moustache made of chains is epic. And really like the sides of the helmet too <3 As for the weapons, my favourite one has to be the buzzsaw.
Great work, dear!

I agree that it does closely resemble the character design of predator, however other than that it does look rather nice.

Thanks. Its mostly the protector mask. I think at some point I'll actually try and build a predator using those masks and giving him hair and everything it was very effective towards that end, just not this one.

i like it a lot, would go with a different mask, the helmet and beard look a bit "off" when used with this one.
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree, I tried different things and this is just what fit, so I kept it. But you're right, it looks off. If I come back to it I'll definitely revisit the mask and head all together.
Thanks.

You should have seen him when I tried going with chain hair to. Totally a predator design, so I scrapped that and went with the helmet instead. Totally need to try that idea though.

"You have my sword..."
"And my bow!"
"AND MAI ACKS!!"
Also, i could've sworn his name was Palutena...

Nope, Paleltuma, its Finnish for Frostbite.

I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Thank you Dudemaan.

the only area you seemed to "fail" is the beard. other than that, nice work, love the weapons.

where did you get that off-white armor o.o
π: 0 β©: 1
That's just the lighting, its white.

Lovin' it

Thanks, glad you like it.

A lot of details in a little package for sure.

Thanks Greg. Doesn't always have to be big. IΒ always enjoy working on small projects, they provide such a nice little challenge getting something to work with limited space for parts.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, its probably just as challenging Β working with fewer parts to create something so cool.
π: 0 β©: 1
It can be. It'd be like you having to work with less pixels or less tools in your programs. You might be able to do it, but it'd be harder to make it look good.

Yes so true, it would be like me trying to work with less filters and plugins. like I've been doing lately. the last few updates to PDN have mucked up my filters pretty bad but I am dealing with it..Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh that sucks. You're still using PDN? That's cool. I still use it to do my edits. Though I've been wondering if I should just upgrade to a version of Photoshop and invest in a cheap drawing tablet. Thoughts?
π: 0 β©: 1
I've seen some low priced ones but don't know how they last.
I have PS and hardly use it. you have to pay for filters and everything not a fan.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh that's bullshit. Even after you pay an assload of money for the program you gotta pay more for filters and brushes? Waaaaat?!
π: 0 β©: 1
$$$ ITS AL ABOUT THE MONEY Β I say fuck them free filters and brushes for all, you should only have to pay one time for something. Β Steam learned that the hard way a few weeks ago, when they went to paid mods for games and the people spoke and said F u and they backed off. We need more of that stuff.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah we really do. I'm surprised Steam would try that. They should have known that would have blown up in their face. I guess Adobe can do that because what else are people gonna use? I know there's other programs, but Photoshop is industry standard really. They're the top dog. But can't people make filters for it and give those out for free?
π: 0 β©: 1
There are a few free ones out there not made by PS but limited and they don't work on PS elements just the expensive full version.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh I see. That blows. Well its not like I have much use for that shit anyways. 
Once you buy them do you get to keep them? What if photoshop updates?
π: 0 β©: 1
I know they should work for every version. Β
If its not updated then it might not work right like some of the filter I use in PDN.

Neat moc! Kind of complicated to follow, though.

Yeah he is pretty detailed. Check out his flickr photos and zoom in on them for better looks at what's going on.

love the buzsaw axe!!!!!!
and the hammer I beast!
as well as the whole thing being generally awesome!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks DP. I'm surprised more people didn't mention the axe. I would have bet money some jackass was going to mention Boarderlands.
π: 0 β©: 1
I was going to mention it...
but figured you knew that already and it was redundant...

Lol! No prob!
Have fun with the rest of'em!

He's so lovably cold. And cute. He looks like he won't take any crap you throw at him . . . so I might as well ditch the tomatoes I brought along.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well if you value your teeth I'd say that's wise.

Awesome mass on the build

I agree, they're not really dwarves, more like hobbits or halflings.
