The Shadowed One but a Rahkshi head


I’ve never quite liked the way the original Vahki head looked, especially as it’s used on Roodaka and TSO (long story short, rather than seeing it the Vahki way, I much prefer seeing it the Nidhiki way; it looks more menacing when you can actually see both eyes from the front). Inspired by another TSO MOV posted by another user, I attempted to redesign his head based around a Rahkshi head, as seen on others of his species like Ancient and Tyrant.

I made V1 last night and I’m generally satisfied with it except for the lower jaw, which not only triggers collision in Studio–I do believe that the parts are flexible enough to make the build work irl, but as it is, the Rahkshi head will always trigger collision with either the jaw or the crown–but sticks out much further than I’d like.
Earlier today I made V2, which brings the jaw closer to the rest of the head but also has a bit of articulation. I’m still not a fan of the jaw but the jury’s still out on whether it’s because I haven’t figured out how to replicate the angle of the original or just because I don’t like how the Bohrok tooth looks when used in this fashion.
Either way, I’m open to feedback (though it will be a while before I complete a full MOV of TSO myself, titans have never been my forte).

I always hated how those three were Gregged together. As a species, none of them look anything alike. Using the Rahkshi head here makes sense, and it looks surprisingly nice. I wonder if you could incorporate the ribbed hoses by his mouth though?

I did consider using slightly longer hoses where the silver connectors are (and they could probably still work on V1), but the way those connectors are used in V2 makes that currently infeasible. I’m sure there’s a way, I just haven’t figured it out yet.
