I actually quite like this model, I don’t think it is exaggerated - it has a similar feminine style as models from Miramax trilogy.
This might be my favorite Gaaki so far, it is distinct from the others, yet clearly a Hagah. That said, the height could be a problem…

There might be a way for me to cut this one centimeter in height but i don’t think she would look as good as now

Well, you just have to wait and see what the verdict is, maybe this is not considered significant difference.

The Miramax models for Gali and Nokama were significantly slimmer than their male counterparts, so I don’t think this is a very good comparison.

just cause we don’t like the rules doesn’t mean we can’t not follow them

So you give her boobs and booty. I respect that.

Rules. Without them we live with the animals.

“I’ve tried to stay true to the theme”

makes a thicc toa

In all seriousness, kudos for having the courage to even post this here. Some of the people on this site have conniptions at the sight of anything more feminine than an androgynous robot.

That said, the staff aren’t going to let it through until you find a way to bring the height down, and I can’t truthfully say I’d vote for it either, if only because I would judge myself if I did xD.

no, we just have conniptions when a MOC is needlessly sexualized or objectifying

people just don’t know the difference between feminine and sexy

I agree that the height rule seems somewhat arbitrary, but this type of excessively custom (for a Metru build, at least) build is a good example of what the rule was likely implemented to prevent.

That said, this is really good. It doesn’t look too custom, and it certainly looks like a Hagah. Though the thighs could maybe use a bit more gold…

I’m not a fan of Gold Gaaki for personal Psionics-related reasons, but I would be perfectly happy with this winning. The build achieves the look that you were going for without going overboard.

I hate to be the party pooper, but there is at least one impossible connection and a slew of insecure connections in this build.

Tomorrow I’ll post updated version which should hopefully fix the height and other issues

Not only did you use a nuva chest, you put boobs inside of it.
That’s a bold decision.
Not a good decision, but a bowled decision.

Thicc Gaaki? Now that’s what I call based.

Dragonax approved :ok_hand:

I mean, it’s decently well done I guess.
I don’t mind ahem “Detailed” mocs as much as some people do but, in a cannon contest?
feels kinda icky.
