For this moc, my inspiration of the whole thing was the arms and hands. I took one look at them and was like "Hey. Lego got some parts that look like that." I am very proud of the hands or claws I guess. I always wanted to do hands like this but never made something big enough to justify using the build.
The heads I really wanted to make sure I to as close as I could to what the in game model looked like. So after 3 different versions of it, I finally landed on this design. The heads are fully capable of rotating on a swivel however, are static in the neck.
The crystals were an interesting challenge. Had to make sure that they did not clash with the necks and arms and making sure they looked wild but uniform.
The body and tail were the hardest part mostly because of how repetitious it was to do it and making the segments in the body work. The tail was a load of trial and error. I wanted to make sure that it was thining out at the end but I couldn't figure it out till I remembered some bricks with studs on the front and back of them. Making it so that I could regular parts, upside-down.
Finally, the wings were interesting to make. I originally wanted to use cloth pieces to make them look more natural. But Studio does not have any in there. So, I went with using blade pieces for them.
This took probably about 3-4 days of work spread out over 3 months because I was procrastinating.
There is also a Mechanic minifig in there for scale. A Minifig is 1.6in tall or 4cm.
I was the one who posted a Bot Buddy moc a few months ago here too.
