Lately I’ve been attempting a redesign of Makuta Teridax from g1. I drew a peice of concept art that you can find in my “doodle depository” in the artwork section of creative content. Based on that artwork, I have thus far created a pair of arms for a Teridax revamp. (I’ve also made a pair of feet, but they’re simple and not worth showing yet.)
Actually, that was intended. This isn’t necessarily a revamp, or I’d have put more effort into detailing than shaping. This is more of a reimagining of Teridax. I’ve always felt that the bulky, stocky look severely contrasts Teridax’s conniving, scheming, seemingly all knowing character. I think a taller, more lanky silhouette fits better with him.
I like the way the hands are. I don’t want them to be much bigger, which is what they’ll get if I use a ball joint. Either that or I do the stereotypical custom hand, which I was trying to avoid.
That contrast is something I really like about Teri, the change may be more “fitting” but it ends up being far more, expected, generic, by the number, you get me?
