Backstory;
Whilst others coveted power, wealth, and control, Vamusahi had simplier, more elegant tastes. A Rahi creator by trade his passion was of art. Smuggling it to his island whenever he could, especially during the catalysm. Using it to hide his theft of statues and other similar items from metru nui. Unfortunately soon after the dark hunters attacked his stronghold. This led Vamusahi to activate a stasis field to protect his collection, unfortunately he underestimated the range and the field severed his body in half, releasing his gaseous form to evaporate into the atmosphere
Integrating a turntable into the torso certainly is… unique. I don’t mind the thin lower legs too much, in fact I think they’re an interesting touch, but that torso and shoudler area are way too cluttered in my opinion. For starters I’d get rid of teh light gray and silver and also remove the dark green cable. Then distribute the lime a little better over the upper torso and shoulders. For example those trans-green ribcages on the front of the torso might look better if they’re switched out with the gunmetal grey ones on the shoulders. Unless, of course you want the bigger arms to look mechanical? In any case the upper torso needs more lime, though. The back of the torso is actually alright, so focus on the front.
Backstory:
I’d like you to come up with a different name - one that doesn’t end with an “x”.
Otherwise it works (I mean, it was my idea ;P). Glad you used it, though, an art collector is an interesting character to have.
Overall: Please work a bit more on the torso and come up with a new name.
Then only use one cable? Just noticed that the red cable on the back doesn’t seem to be a part of a weapon, so I’d remove that, too, and go for an asymmetrical look.
And there’s always the option of redoing the torso - I am fully aware of what a pain it is to build custom torsos, though…
Vicium sounds too latin… If you want I could give it a try using the Matoran dictionary later?
Fun fact: I am actually considering revamping Vamusahi (or Belgahn, or one of the yellow ones…) next. (No promises at this point, though.) I randomly acquired one of those turntable pieces not long ago and working a bit with lime might be fun.
I’ll have to see whether I can iclude an “exo-suit” or not, however. I’ll definitely be working on a smaller scale and at least so far the backstory also doesn’t yield a reason for why he’d have an exo-suit over a shapeshifted body. Time will tell, I suppose.
So another fun design touch of like to share, is the damaged face, and the breathing apparatus/mask and the fake eye, i noticed it’s a tad hard to make out so I decided to show it. The mandibles folded in to protect the apparatus. Honestly this moc and it’s design was really fun and I like revisiting the ideas in it
