User blog:Violet Spinel/Fanua's Redesign

Day 2, I guess.

So, I'm having a lot of trouble with Fanua's design, specifically the torso. My problem is that for the past 10 years of my life, I've been almost exclusively using Inika builds, and I simply don't have any armor that can fit this guy. A lot of the people here are saying I should just stick with Inika, but it's really tough on this guy. Here's what I've got so far:

So the first problem I have is the color scheme is still really dull. I added some trans green to the sides but it just looks forced. Another issue I have here is that I can't properly bend his legs because the mask-torso is too big and gets in the way. Trust me, I need my poseability.

I had an idea to make his keft and right hands red and blue, respectively, to add that magnetic tone to him, but I'm not sure. Let me know if that's a good idea.

So, as you can see, his current design is very mecha-inspired. Too much Gundam for one night I guess. I'm beginning to understand the appeal of CCBS, but not for the reasons other people like it. I've found that when you play it correctly, CCBS is much more flexible.

Well, that's al I have to say today. Hopefully Fanua will get as good as possible soon enough.
