Sappholopod Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Click the Above Link for the full gallery! Lewa is the daredevil Toa of Air, tossing caution to the wind at any chance he gets. His attitude allows him to perform breathtaking stunts and acrobatics that the other Toa Mata can only hope to match. Of course, Lewa’s competitive streak will push him to goad the others into contests, even if they know he’ll blow them away anyways. There’s something about his frantic actions and longwinded gabbering that keep him on everyone’s good side, even if they don’t show it. Lewa is agile and quick, well adapted to life among the trees inLe-Wahi, moving like a breeze in and through the canopy. He can control the very air itself, using it to further enhance his agility and grace. With his Toa Tool, a lightweight yet sturdy axe, he can direct the wind in more outwardly practical manners. (This moc here represents Lewa as he appears in the Bionicle: Rebuild universe.) Edited October 17, 2014 by Cabooceratops 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Nice job! The only complaint I have is the axe looks too small. 1 Quote I HATE SCORPIOS ~Pohatu Master of Stone, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makuta Miras Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 This is a nice MOC, and the hands are good. (Never seen that design before!) What I don't like though, is Lewa's bulkiness. The lower arms and ankles just seem a bit too over-armoured, and they lend him a bulky look which really doesn't fit with Lewa's character. Also, I'd change the feet, as, like I stated before, the armour flows into them a bit too smoothly. Still, this is a great build, one which I think would probably look fairly good as a Matoro Mahri rebuild! Well done! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconut Fella Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Oh, so Lewa is actually still male. Why him over the others? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sappholopod Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Nice job! The only complaint I have is the axe looks too small. Thanks! I wanted to keep the Axe small and light-weight looking, keeping the spirit of his original axe. Are you going to make the other Toa? MAYBE This is a nice MOC, and the hands are good. (Never seen that design before!) What I don't like though, is Lewa's bulkiness. The lower arms and ankles just seem a bit too over-armoured, and they lend him a bulky look which really doesn't fit with Lewa's character. Also, I'd change the feet, as, like I stated before, the armour flows into them a bit too smoothly. Still, this is a great build, one which I think would probably look fairly good as a Matoro Mahri rebuild! Well done! Part of this is due to the limited parts pallete, only so many parts come in Bright Green, but I have to say I really do appreciate how the armor segues into the thin upper arms. When the 2015 Lewa set comes out I might try other shells. Ultimately though, I really like the vaguely megaman-ish proportions of Lewa, like he's wearing armor too big for him. =) Oh, so Lewa is actually still male. Why him over the others? Yep! For Lewa, I kinda felt it was "too easy", you know? Like, he's short and thin and lithe and people tended to go to him first when it comes to this sort of thing. I also had a fairly strong idea of what he looked like already, along with Kopaka and Pohatu, so I stuck with that and changed Tahu and Onua. (Well, I mean, there were other reasons but it started with that.) This is great! Fantastic job making this! Thank you very much!

Banana Gunz Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Oh, I like this a lot! Some of the proportions are a drip off, but overall this captures Lewa nicely! 1 Quote tumblr: it's a lovely place to be if you've gone madflickr: mah yummy gross pics mmmPew Pew Pew Pew Pew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munty Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) I agree with other comments on proportions, he seems too short and stocky now (especially when you see him stood with Onua and Tahu!) He needs a longer neck to avoid giving him a hunchback and I think could benefit from longer limbs in general too. I also agree that the limb armour makes him look a bit Popeye'd and could do with being moved from lower to upper limb or just evened out a bit if you have the pieces! Also, why on earth are Tahu and Onua female now? Onua? Really? The squat little hard-as? Don't get me wrong, I'm not one for stereotypes and sexism but Onua is a bloke...

Lyichir Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The color layering on this model is fantastic—the way it shifts from Bright Yellowish Green at the midsection to Bright Green on the upper torso helps keep the Dark Green mask from sticking out like a sore thumb. The hand design is also decent, and I love the contrast between the heavily armored lower limbs and torso and the thinner, more mechanical-looking upper limbs. 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazdakka Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I feel like he has too much disjunction between his skinny bits and his heavily armored bulky bits. Quote Steam Name: Toa Hahli Mahri.

Honestly this gets to a point where we just have different visions for the character. He's always been rather "Animated Bumblebee" to me, as seen below, so the proportions work for me. The color layering on this model is fantastic—the way it shifts from Bright Yellowish Green at the midsection to Bright Green on the upper torso helps keep the Dark Green mask from sticking out like a sore thumb. The hand design is also decent, and I love the contrast between the heavily armored lower limbs and torso and the thinner, more mechanical-looking upper limbs. Thank you! A lot of my work recently, trying to utilize color layering, has been inspired by you and your brother's commentary on the subject. Trying to key in on what works and what doesn't. Happy to see I'm successful! = ) I feel like he has too much disjunction between his skinny bits and his heavily armored bulky bits. A large part of that, I'm afraid, is just going to come down to personal taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Wow. That is fantastic. The chest armor is just so well-done. The colour scheme, limbs and proportions are all really top-notch. Very innovative and well-built. -NotS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Minifig Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I like it. I think the upper part of the torso might be a little bit to big compared with the waist. When I envision Lewa, I don't see him with a ton of armor though. It seems to work though, since makes him seem stronger. The color scheme also looks pretty good. You did a nice job of blending the two shades of green. Good Job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fsnorglepuff Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 This is awesome. The texture and proportions are done in a way that make this seem like something LEGO would have released in recent years, but without much empty space. Color layering is great too. 1 Quote Toa Gali Nuva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
