Lariska was an important member of the Dark Hunters, being the Shadowed One’s right hand.
Get up, Rahi bones. Lariska’s class is now in session
About his appearance
being an agile and stealthy hunter, her appearance is dynamic and simple to perform acrobatics, her legs are where she has more physical strength and her arms are agile, which complements her use of melee weapons, Lariska’s left arm is mechanical as punishment after pissing off the Shadowed One this arm doesn’t have a hand as such and needs support to hold on properly but that hasn’t hurt the slayer’s agility in maneuvering her weapons.
About design
the figure is slightly taller than a Piraka, it has two daggers that can be stored on its back or carried on its thighs to make them more accessible to it, the design of its feet is designed to look light, which favors the concept of agility of the character.
the tube on the back is to highlight the curve like that of the appearance of a snake
You can also exchange the mechanical arm for Lariska’s original arm, although it is optional.
About the process
At first I set out to work as the design of the character would be, I looked for three silhouettes to work on until I reached a preliminary result, in the assembly process I experimented more with the shape of the dark jacket until I reached the result in the photos
experimentation and silhouette work before building
