I’m bringing this back again, and for the exact same upper arm, though the design has been significantly updated:
The issue that stumped me on this design for so long is the fact that the ball, as well as the thin 3L and 4L liftarms, could rotate about the medium blue Technic connector. To prevent this, the lime liftarm must connect to the socket piece. However, the connection must also be completely flush; I can’t just use a 2L axle as shown below:
My current solution that I devised months ago, and that was used in my Tuyet MOC that I shared here, is to use a 2L rigid 3mm tube, since it can pass through the “barrier” between the axle holes in the socket:
However, the flexibility of the part, as well as the small number available on BrickLink, make me hesitant to use this solution in a Canon Contest entry if there is a better way.
Today, I might have thought of that batter way: the relatively new minifigure wand piece:
And that brings me to the point of this post: would this wand solution actually work? I don’t have access to my parts right now to test it myself, nor do I even have any wands.
My greatest concern is that the “ball” of the wand might not form a stable enough connection with the axle hole of the lime liftarm, or that it might have a tiny amount of wiggle. Are these concerns legitimate, or does the solution work?

No clue about the wand, but irl, the flextube connection would not only be incredbily difficult to construct, but would likely ruin the flextube forever after.
Yes it does work, but I would recommend to turn the ball in a way that the edges show up kinda like this:
otherwise it damages the piece.

I’m trying to make a frame for Chibi’s that can pack in as much detail as possible in Stud.io. (I’m addicted to Chibi’s…) any tips?
@Gringat would be welcome, seeing as how he made about 50,000 Chibi’s.
(It’s called exaggeration)
None of my chibis have the same frame, lol
they’re bundles of random parts based on whatever weird seed part I find most interesting
I’m afraid I can’t help too much with a standardised frame for them

The Volitak doesn’t have it’s tube thingy.
It seems to be edited out, could be wrong though.
As far as leg designs, I’m not sure how to help you without directly giving you something to copy, and that’s no fun, defeats the whole point of the creative process.
My suggestion would be to find a seed piece, one that’s elongated. Not necessarily super long, just find a way to add a balljoint to one end and a socket to the other.

Phew
If it’s edited out, it’s both a rather bad and absolutely masterful edit. You can see a small sliver of the tube remaining on the side of the mask, and if it was edited out, it would have eliminated the far side of the left shoulder’s socket; it would have to be entirely recreated since the right shoulder’s socket is positioned differently, keeping the far side hidden behind the ball.
As for the moc itself, the forearms definitely seem too short, but it may be the whole arm is a bit too short.
