A former member of the Mangai, Tuyet hopes for a better future. Stolen away by a mysterious organization many years ago, she struggles to trust anyone - a behavior that’s only heightened on Spherus Magna. Now a wandering mercenary, she searches for a place to belong - and a way to remove the Nui Stone trapped inside her…
Howdy folks! Recently I bought a new lightbox, and have begun to slowly take photos of the various mocs that are overtaking my desk space. Tuyet here is the first, as I promised somebody over on instagram.
So I’ve never really vibed with the idea that Tuyet’s fully evil. It made way more sense to me that she started off with warped morals, then went off the deep end in canon. In my 'verse, she’s more “morally gray”, and trying to do the right thing.
Wow, that’s an amazing Tuyet. Love all the armor you have on that Metru build, especially the shoulder plates. Her sword is so menacing, and the gunmetal grey on that blue sure sells that moral grey vibe. Maybe you could fill in some spots with trans-red pieces to represent the nui shards, or maybe give her some back detail(maybe a plate or something? Admittedly it’s hard to work with Metru backs). Beautiful moc, long live the empress
(Also, what’s a wip?)
Thanks, all! Appreciate the compliments. On specifics:
Thanks a bunch! I’m really just using my phone and some basics I’ve picked up along the way, but I suppose it goes to show the importance of decent lighting.
Definitely the intention with the studs! I do think it could be more prevalent; as there’s some parts under the armor that don’t shine through at all, which is a tad frustrating. I might experiment with some other parts.
Fair point! I’ve used an inika shoulder before, and the other two Mangai have gears to imply functionality, so I might mess around with that a bit more. (Also, “wip” is just a shorthand for “work in progress”. Now you know! Lucky 1000!)
