Nice construction methods here man!
I like all of it except, for the feet that aren't really custom. :I
I think the head is okay for this MOC, but a custom one would be really nice.

I don't disagree, I could do something with the feet. The mask tho, that's done intentionally. ;D

K.
It felt a bit strange though seeing this due to the fact that I just so happen to have a custom head/mask made with 15 pieces that utilizes the silver Avohkii mask. That I'm using for a MOC that I can't finish atm, because I ran out of silver and technic pieces.

Hmm..wouldn't mind seeing your design, but I did this intentionally so he would be coherent with the others from the crystal project. So I do need the trans-red eyes/brain in there. If your design is able to integrate those... well than you have my curiosity ^^.

If I had to I could try making a version without the horns, so that it would be compatible if it isn't already.
Does the crystal brain like part need to be visible? If so I might need to make a custom brain, along with eyes to go with the custom head.
If it is good enough would you consider using it, if you have the parts?

If it fits the design, sure why not

There are two parts I am missing to make it work. 
Sorry for not saying sooner.

K! :3
I'll try making a few slightly different versions, to see which you like best.

I can't believe it. How in Mata Nui's name do you people do this kind of stuff? I CAN TAKE IT NO MORE!

Some might say with practice you can do anything. I have been looking a lot at how others come to their constructions, you learn a lot of techniques that way, after that, it's kind of trial and error xD.

I see. Thanks for the advice.

Nice build! i love the rifle and how you incorporated those shoulder parts! they have the best shape. Nice legs by the wya, i use that same construction on my selfmoc ;D I really like the use of robo-rider heads as thighs, really gives it a good shape. Not to mention the fore-arms, all around good build mate
Although, the only complaint i have is that the shin armor doesnt really fit, i know it's hard to armor that portion of the leg with this specific design, so i don't have any suggestions. Just think it looks a bit wierd =.=.

Thanks ^^. I just had to use those shoulderpieces on a sniper like him xD. The shin is indeed something to be improved upon, actually i have a few ideas how to do so.. but you'll have to wait a bit for that

I'm impressed you got his arm to hold up his rifle to. That pose is epic to.

Hehe, thanks Dave ^^. Shade is still my favorite xD. But i'm keeping busy ^^. Right now I'm working on the next project (green) and this is going to be a rather awesome titanbuild... i think xD.

Well this comment is a little out dated now. Like I was saying, Ace doesn't look as cluttered as Shade. I dunno, they're all good. They all have something about them that makes them cool looking MOCs and makes it hard to pick a favorite.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Mass, the titan has been uploaded already xD. I guess, although I like the armor-flow better on Shade , but I guess that's just personal preference ;D. It's truly a challenge to pick a favorite. I like all of them equally, but I guess that's how it goes with your own work

Thanks ^^. Not completely convinced of the shoulders/upper arms though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well there's the thing: I like to keep a balance between looks and function, in my case, I try to put function first. Making them bigger would limit their movement. I'd like to prevent that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm yes I can understand that. Would making them wider cause the same problems?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not if I would do so on the outer side of the arm. That's what I had in mind

Maybe it does
