Toa Nokama Revamp and Powerup

I’m going to keep it short and sweet this time, but this build was probably the most tricky of all. I have always seen Nokama as a petite, thin but athletic and agile character and I wanted to implement the gear function in her as well. By the way, still no Nuva shoulder armor in sight!

Glow in the dark pieces were implemented for a bioluminescent look. Torso is completely custom for a sleek and feminine build.

The copy and the origin. Nokama (aka the origin) is on the left.

[details=Too many blues!] Dabadi dabadai.[/details] There’s the glow-in dark blue, the Rau’s half-trans half-solid blue, the double socket pieces’ trans blue, the CCBS pieces’ blue, the original hand pieces’ blue and the dark blue of the lower arms & legs. Oh and I spy a little Dark trans-blue bohrok-eyes on the chest. The origin seems to have at least some red to contrast the blue.

I’d advise to go with 2 colours that look similar at the most.

By the way, I’m trying to render these pictures so that they are upright but I unfortunately I can’t figure it out here. I don’t know why these pictures are rotated to the left like this.The copy is on the right. She’s meant to be corrupt but I already talked about that. Of course she’s going to be blue. She’s a Toa of Water. The main problem I had with the Toa Metru was that their color schemes were too muted. This gives her a more elemental vibe.

Try uploading to imgur. You could use image-uploading programs like ShareX.

Fixed.

Do need some of them dark blue ccbs shells for this.

Nokama looks anorexic.

@Leoxander Hmm… Yeah, I’ve been having those same thoughts for a while actually. Usually it takes me many tries to get a female build finally perfect. I tried to imitate the build of Olympic female swimmers.

In order to imitate that, I might have to use the same build as the other female MOC in the picture, Hangara, which I finally got looking the way I want it to. Hangara took me over a year to figure out along with my limited time.

Big difference actually. Hangara does not have nearly have as much of a thin build and actually looks proportional. The gear function on Nokama has her arms flopping around anyways, which is not good. So, I’m going to revamp Nokama in Hangara’s style. Which means sacrificing the gear function, but I guess it is necessary. Thanks for the criticism.
