Arsenal
Arsenal is the old (current?) self moc of my friend Adam/Groopergames and the self moc he had when we met over 7 years ago. Out of all of Adam's self mocs Arsenal has always been my favorite. For a long time I wanted to make a proper version of the character in my style and while taking a look at my magnet themed moc Falx I realized they could easily be transformed into a version of Arsenal. While I thought that moc was okay, it had some weird proportions and I think what I turned it into with Arsenal looks way better. To start with I knew I needed to give Arsenal his unique head which is the skull basher mask with a side scope. I know on some of Adam's modern interpretations of the character it actually covers one of his eyes, but | like the telescope look and think it works as like an integrated weapons scope of some sort that controls where his shoulder turret fires. Speaking of the turret, that was an original addition by me. Adam typically gives Arsenal a scythe for a weapon, but I wanted to lean more into his name and give him a bunch of fire power instead, so gave him a gun and his shoulder turret which I think work really well.
Arsenal also always has a prosthetic arm, but mine ended up a little bulky and looks more like a powerful gauntlet. While it's not accurate I thought that it's my own interpretation of the character and I liked how it looked, so I chose to keep it. He's got this speak space soldier vibe that I really like and despite the simple color scheme I think he looks really
