Today I present my take of the traitorous toa turned empress: Tuyet!
Instructions, Stud.io File and B.L. XML >
So for my interpretation of Tuyet I ended up on going for something of a knight aesthetic. Giving her very sturdy and bulky looking armour. I also added the Metru shoulder MOD to her to make sure she could pose nicely with the sword with the extra bulk.
I also wanted to give her asymmetrical armour, as Tuyet never seemed like one that would have perfectly matching amour.
I also decided to give her a ponytail… because what is more sinister than a bonk with hair!?
For her sword I ignored everything that was discussed on the boards. And I made her sword how I imagined it, big, sharp and barbed. Exactly how I like it.
Now from what I understand of a broadsword, they generally require two hands (I could be wrong on this, I don’t know too much about swords.) So I ended up asking myself… how is she gonna hold the Nui Stone?
I eventually decided to attach it to her ponytail, thus she doesn’t have to hold it, and all that Nui Stone energy flows right to her head. I kinda imagined the stone was like a drug of sorts, messing with her thoughts from the raw energy, since she didn’t really seem to be thinking strait once she had the stone.
No world is safe.
Overall I’m very happy with her, and I can’t wait to start working on the rest of my Mangai!
And here’s the mask and stone if you want to build her yourself.
Thanks for taking a look at my MOC.
Sincerely
Legend (TLR)
