So as for details and original concept about Tabuhra. Toa of Sand concept started last year, but not as female, and not as Tabuhra. Originally idea for another Toa of Sand was going to be male, and having no right arm because of one battle, which I never came with a proper end how he lost his right arm. His vehicle was going to be also a different, a futuristic and weaponized motorcycle basically. About the idea with male Sand Toa’s no right arm thing, instead he had a prosthetic arm, he designed own motorcycle to transform into a huge weapon, mounted with rifles, cannons, rockets et cetera (maybe not that too many weapons included), and combines vehicle weapon to his right shoulder for combat.
Things got changed over time when I thought scrap the original idea and start over. And then came female Toa of Sand, Tabuhra, with a little bit different results. It is quite obvious for people that they see her as Rey (SWVII: The Force Awakens), like Bionicle Rey or some sort of, which I do not mind about it.
For her “vehicle” , it was going to be based on Sparrow (Destiny), but I changed after then Hover Sand Board, because it required more time and more parts to build Sparrow based vehicle.
As for her “partner” called i-R15, who is a scout drone and joined with her adventure, though Tabuhra finds him being annoying. Speaking of which, I got mostly a refreshed look of Toa of Sand by having a little inspiration from Destiny game. And also i-R15 is created by two different robots, Ghost (Destiny) and some other ball robots (Portal 2). Mostly it has Portal 2 robot vibe I can guarantee that. Its main purpouse is scouting in deserts, searches and analyzes dangers for Tabuhra, you’ll see on my bio on DA.
Now let’s go for inspirational credits. Her foot idea came from A Stag Beetle who is from Flickr, her toe design came from 0nuku who suggested me to use that built and works perfectly for her, i-R15 ball built idea belongs to umamen from Flickr and system breast built on Tabuhra, well, sadly I don’t remember who I got an idea originally, but I know I got inspired from one Japanese MOCer on Twitter.
That’s about sources of materials. And it is time to continue on MOCing (at least thankfully my finals are over for now). Anyways, comments and criticisms are welcome, appreciate some feedbacks for future projects. Thank you for having a time for reading this description and I’ll see you around later, bye for now!
