“Insert a generic remark about making her not to look like a vortix as much as possible”
I brainstormed this moc in 2 days, using various technicues I accumulated from experimenting with toa metru builds.
To be honest she turned out WAAAY better than I thought she would and only uses 4 “painted” parts, the 3 teal axle connectors and one dark blue tripple connector in that creates her mask, plus one 2-long bar in the back of her head, so the custom parts are minimal.
Now tell me with honesty, does she look femenine?
I wasn’t going for curves obviously, she’s supposed to be slick and lean, agile looking. But I believe the armor is still important to create a threatening look of an experienced assassin.
- Hourglass Shape 2) Skirt. 3)Heels. 4) Tube Hair.
Nice teal fishtail, huh?
There are some fairly… curious technicues used throughout the build.
The head design was inspired by an fanart of Teridax467smocs, here it is:
Also made a fully functional sniper disk launcher for her, comprised of vahki launcher and a hero factory claw. Pretty sure it would fire in you squeze the cheeks. Translusent bars and the scope as a cherry on top.
The scope is even slightly adjustable.
For melee she has 3 blades: a dagger, a wrist-mounted blade and a parrying blade (can also be used as a hook for climbing).
Wrist blade and her launcher can be stored on her back (Two axle holes), while daggers can be attached to the pins on her thighs (4 Pin holes).
Feet are inspired by Lariska, the Turquoise Ninja (DuckBricks Fanon Contest Entry) with a different heel.
Let’s see some of that agility in action.
Her right hand has a double balljoint that’s supposed to help articulation, plus the teal miru is also mounted on a balljoint so you can get it out of the way while posing her.
The shoulder cover on her left shoulder rotates on a pin in 2 places, so you can ajust it as well to pose the mechanical arm (which has a frictionless cover on the upper arm)
Here is the reason why she will never be cannonized, Lannon Lariska is supposed to be the size of a toa, but mine is noticeably taller (Though not quite titan sized). So might as well give her a unique name that would go with Annihilatress (put sugestions in the comments if you want)
Spider man toa inika.
Or maybe it’s an alternative universe Lariska that decided to overthrow The Shadowed One and became the leader of Dark Hunters herself
Begone!
Now, with presentation out of the way, I wanna give you a sneak-peak at some of the alternative limb and head configurations and prototipes which left over from her.
The first configuration has an analog of Sidorak’s blade that is supposed to function as a hidden blade, but I decided it would take too much space.
The last right arm configuration looks real slick and good, but the articulation is almost as bad as toa metru, miru mask would preven her from lifting the arm up.
Could’ve used slizer hand for a thigh armor, but it’s a bit too flat, what do you think?
Now the heads
From left to right: 1) Samurai with pigtails configuration. 2) Triple tube-face configuration. 3) Teal tube punk configuration. 4) Tube ornament with some clipping issues.
Instructions down in the comments.
This honestly might be one of my favorite versions of her.
I am sure that will be epic, look forward to that.
