Many of you said that you wanted to see a moc from me in my "Hi, I'm such-and-such" post; so I just decided to finally getting around to making one-

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=199323

I was looking around my desk for something to start with for a moc, and all I ever really noticed was my lone elephant and a yoda. Thus the freaky goblin elephant was born. While I admit the "standard" itself is sort post-apocalyptic themed. But when I look at it, I simply figure: they're goblins, what the hey.

Edit: I meant to post this at first but I forgot; my brother said something pretty funny about my usage of the yoda head-
"your goblins are strong with the force"

Yoda as a goblin, what has the world come to. Although he does make a pretty good goblen, I'll admit. I like the whole skeletal thing on the top; it give it the feeling of evil. Good job.

I like the skeleton the most. What is it, some sort of minotaur or boar-man? Could you take a non-dead pic please? Also, the dark blue viking torso looks really good with the black sleeves and the sand green skin. The elephant's saddle-thingy (forgot the name) is cool too.

When I started building the skeleton I had no idea what it would end up as, but I suppose it's meant to be a crude image of their god; right now I think it supposed to be a human's body with a boar's head. The idea behind the skeleton is that they would find random bones of certain creatures and then they assembled them to represent their diety.

Like I said, very evil.

Nice! I really like the idea of using Yoda as a goblin.

I must admit that I, too like the skleton thing the best.

Keep the Mocs coming!

Cool! Just hope a strong breeze don't come along.

The skeleton is well done, and the goblin is pretty neat. You should try brown arms though, look more like rusted mail.

Whoa,nice little mumakil you have there

Yeah,that skeleton construction is favourite thing of mine,too...
But I'm not a fan of using heads which has it's own unique purpose...
Everything else is pretty good.

Sweet! I like the skeleton. It's really skeletony.

I also like that he's drumming. The drums are very base, right? Of course they are. Creates suspense. Who doesn't like suspense.

Nice banner. However, I don't like using Yoda heads for goblins, they look too much like, well, Yoda! I'd sugesst swapping it for a Dobby head.

I dont like the use of dobby heads, yoda heads, or the harry potter goblin heads for orcs or goblins. They dont give them the fierceness of what an orc and/or goblin should be. BTW Nazgul, do you have an army to put the elephant with? If so you shold post it as well.
