This is amazing to say the least. Great job.

I like her. Her having an actionfeature is also neat.

Minor head updates. Her head design seemed to get the most contentious comments, so I’ve reworked it into something slightly fancier. I don’t wanna change the general concept because I’m in love with it, but it was a little simple, had some brown color I thought I couldn’t get rid of, and was just too thin. This alleviates that. Missing a couple of physical parts so photos will have to wait.
I really like the slight angle on the scope.

certainly different to alot of lariskas i’ve seen, but still really cool.

It’s certainly unique.
The design is very unique, not sure about some elements but at least you got the Killbot Cyclops look down. Are you planning to add any more deconstruction shots, or a .io file in the future?
I’ll need to rephotograph everything before the contest anyway, so I plan on adding more deconstruction shots. And yeah, I’ll probably post the model file then too.

Some more updates!
Soooo I just spent a silly amount of time reconstructing the entire midsection to make that sweet sweet waist articulation that everyone seems to love happen. I had initially been against the idea because I had preferred a rigid midsection as a better base of support when rotating the Technic Ratcheting Joint in her prosthetic, but I’ve relented. Just hold on to her upper body when posing it.
This new construction gives her forward and backward abdominal movement, and a small amount of side-to-side tilt on her hips. I might still go back to the old construction, I haven’t decided (I think too much fine
articulation goes against the aesthetic of the era), but I have at least proven that it can be done, and the proportions have remained the same.
I’ve also edited the stabbing knives (switched out the flick missile in favor of a 3 unit bar and a small gear), fixed a color mismatch in the left shoulder, strengthened the knees a bit, and fixed a small wobble that the old feet had.
I’m also probably gonna switch out the tan action feature trigger gear for a light bluish grey one. The red band against the tan gear clashed a little. If only the black ones weren’t so rare.

Cannot lie it looks so cool. It is also very unique and has clever building technics. I would certainly build it for myself, BUT i just doesn’t look like Lariska to me. It just doesn’t.

Well thanks for the compliment I guess. I keep hearing that exact phrasing (“just doesn’t look like Lariska”) for a character with no established visual design and looking at all the contest entries together, I guess I’m sorry my first instinct for a scary serial killer robot wasn’t just another vortixx with long loose hair (loose hair on an acrobat, no less)?
I’m sorry, it’s just been disheartening.

I think the moc is mostly good as a Lariska interpretation, the problematic parts are the piston sticks sticking out that far, you are gonna stab yourself with those, when trying to run.

Fair enough. They’re a bit extra
