Actually, I found it looked more masculine then most torsos with nuva boobs, and looks average
So how would you say I could Improve on the arms? Specifically, the upper arms. Iād like to keep that slight medieval vibe to it, if I can.
@Payinku Iād also like your input on this as well.
Remove the nuva shoulders a, try finding a Knights kingdom shoulder plate, try finding a custom upper arm that might even improve arm articulation
I have a custom upper arm that would be perfect in that case.

toa destinusā upper arm I think would work.
(also I figured Iād link my moc topic for you to get two birds with one stone.)
Is that shoulder piece as small or around the same size as a Metru double socket joint? I donāt want to give her arms too much length.

same length, the sockets arenāt aligned though.
Though of course, that means her shoulders would also become widerā¦ She already has awkwardly wide shoulders as is.
call it armor?

I suppose. Though I donāt think I have to proper angles to try and replicate it.
could you expand on that?

The camera angles. I canāt really see all too clearly on what piece attaches where.
I plan to have a (moc)photo shoot tomorrow, I can take better pictures then.
Waitā¦ I think I can see it. Iāll try to replicate it, post it to my Sta.sh and then link a pic to you and hope I built it right. Iāll possibly do that tomorrow, given itās late and I have a Bionicle parts tote that makes lost of noise when rummaging through it.
So while I still have you guysā attention, what are the fanās opinions on using Vahki heads?

Vahki heAds are fine, but some prefer custom heads

I ask, because I have another MOC that is basically a mini Vortixx with an Inika like build. Sheās all blue. Youāve probably seen her if you went through my dA gallery.

Depends on how you use it, really. Iāve seen some pretty awful uses, and some pretty great ones. Iāve used it as a head, as shoulders, and as waist armour. If you mean specifically as a head, itās probably alright unless you do something spectacularly terrible with it.
A bit of personal advice learned in my younger MOCing days - donāt use Bohrok eyes with it; (at least, not as actual eyes) it gives the head a really awkwardly top-heavy look that just doesnāt work all that well. It would also be a good idea to give it a Roodaka-styled lower jaw.

Funny, because I actually used red claw(horn) pieces as the eyes as an illegal connection, but it still looked pretty good. I didnāt have any spare clear exo-force hands lying aroundā¦ Her head is almost a clone of Roodakaās if you donāt count the eyes.

I personally think not too many people are really all that concerned about illegal connections; the big thing to worry about is if theyāll stay in - if so, then great! And yeah; I think the Exo-Force claws only come in grey or black with the exception of Roodakaās trans-orange ones. (Otherwise Iād use some green ones on my own Vortixx MOC.)

Iāll take a picture for you and upload it soon for you to see. Iāll even do a full-body shot for you, if you so wish. Disclaimer: Sheās a VERY simple MOC, but she has a consistent color scheme.
Here she is. 20150221 014402 - Toa-Ignicus's Sta.sh
And hereās the head closeup. 20150221 014357 - Toa-Ignicus's Sta.sh
Off to bed now. Iāll reply on your thoughts in the morning.

Jeez, I turn my back for a few hours and the whole place is a mess.
Anyways, to elaborate on my earlier review, some design choices I like (the sword, the wings), whilst others I consider cons more out of personal preference, like the color scheme or the Nuva boobs, or as I usually call them, Bio-Boobs. Also, that chain hair looks a bit off, looking too big in comparison to the head. I actually didnāt know those concepts were so overused. I was just lukewarm to the overall result. The more you know, I guess.
