Description
Aquailia(ohk-kwale-ee-a) Is the fierce female member to the Defenders Of Virtue, an elite squad of toas that fight to protect the world from serious threats and hold to the three virtues, "unity, duty, and destiny." She is also know as "the beast tamer" for her uncanny ability to befriend some of the most hostile sea creatures known. Her keen skills as a diver makes her the optimal candidate regarding any threats in Mahri Nui, or anywhere else. Aquailia's fan blade staff doubles as a swift hydro dynamic weapon and an ore for her favorite hobby, kayaking. Her backpack is a propulsion devise when in the water. It takes in water and shoots it out at a high velocity so she can travel through water at fast speeds and shoot high up out of the water if she needed.Aquailia's sea companion is [link] “>Shui long , which means “water dragon” in Chinese. Aqualia is one of the few in the Hǎi zú Clan, a small Reclusive tribe of seafaring toas and Matoran, to tame one of these vicious but majestic sea dragons. Aqualia also is the only member of to leave the hai Zu to be apart of the DOV.
*Update on MOC* I redid her Chest to give her more of a Female figure. Its not easy to do without over doing it. To many times have I seen people give their females giant breasts making them look trampy. I tried to avoid that with Aqualia. I wanted to go for an athletic female figure, and also give her a scuba diver look as well.

Thanks. Umm I don't do full instructions. What part are you interested in in particular? Also, I've modified this MOC since this photo was taken, the chest is different now.

The gold pieces don't seem necessary, and her limbs should be lengthened to have more realistic proportions.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've heard that before. The gold is supposed to fit into a larger color schematic for the whole team, two gold, two silver, 2 gunmetal. After that, the proportions don't have to be exact, this is bionicle. I try to be proptional, but this is a more basic MOC relative to my other MOCs, I don't think proportions are going to be exact.

Huh... her torso does look a tas long and bulky for the small limbs but otherwise a nice design.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah just a little bit. But I did redesign the chest. I though I posted pictures but I didn't, her new design only made it into the video review for her and Shui.

Good job, and I like the staff. Justone thing; Toa should be capitalized. Also, it's both a singular and plural noun, like the word 'moose'.

I apologise. Please refrain from sending me messages with foul language.

Oh wah. Its 2011 grow some fucking balls and don't get your panties in such a knot. Its just a word.

You have no idea how stupid you look using profanity over your own typo. And then acting like I'm a wimp. Look up the word 'culture'.
Deviant has disabled reply feature.

You think I care? Look I've got more than enough people who follow me and like me here. So if a few people think I look stupid I don't give a shit. I know what culture is. Just cause I say the word fuck doesn't make me stupid. Its a word, actually its an acronym. If you're gonna get this easily offended then you shouldn't be on the internet.

You do realize all of this little argument was because of a suggestion on my part that was intended to assist you in better writing of one of both our favorite genres. I am not insulting your excellent MOCing skills, your otherwise flawless storytelling, or your intelligence outside of obscene language. My message telling you that I would not accept replies was not an insult to your intellect but a simple hint that I had no wish to continue our dialogue. If my suggestion and distaste for profanity are your only issues with me, please say so and we can continue being civil towards each other.
Let me reiterate that your skills are not in question, nor are your talents. I am fully willing to admit that you are highly skilled and likely intelligent. My only problem whatsoever was your use of profanity and a mere spelling error. However, you are the one who insisted on escalating this, as evidenced by your last message. It insulted my skills and seemed to make fun of my intellect by using words it seemed you thought I was unfamiliar with. This in no way relates to my original suggestion that you use your intellect and correctly spell a word, and find a way to avoid the use of profanity.
The use of profanity is not at all a boost to your image. Please explain how you believe otherwise. Better yet, do not. It was not the point, you notice.
Also, congratulations on founding the MOCers League, as well as on several excellent models.
I apologize for any perceived insults I may have made to you, and for using your time to explain a grammatical error.

Yeah I know and all I said was "yeah fuckin grammar Nazis won't let me forget" Meaning I've heard it before and was agreeing with you. The way you came off about the foul language was stuck up. Like profanity is so beneath you. That really ticked me off. I wasn't swearing at you or even calling you a Grammar nazi.
Fine I apologize as well. I'm a fair man. Lets put it all behind us and move on.
As for the image, look, people know I swear, do it in comments I do it in journals. Most people don't care cause they do it to. I have no problem refraining from it if people say it bugs them. But when its done in a snobish way like you did that pisses me off. And really in this day and age if it bugs you that much then you should probably find somewhere else to socialize. We internet people are a bit of a foul bunch.
Thanks. Its the most successful bionicle group on here I think. Its certainly the favorite for bionicle builders.

Mm.... she's a good MOC, but... I think you could do a lot better if you persisted. It's mainly the limbs I think, just not flowing that much. =/

Hmmm I do want to do another female MOC and better capture a female character. But I'm pretty satisfied with her. Her arms and legs are supposed to look more like a person in a wet suit so they're not supposed to be bulky or heavily armored.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They do look blocky though. Not to offend - maybe try smaller pieces for the armour?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Like what? We don't all have the same amount of pieces you do, or even the same color of parts. I did what I could with what I've got.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh right. Fair enough then
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But tell me, what do you think I could do better for her? I don't have a lot of modern system parts like you do that adds a lot of good detail to your MOCs, otherwise I would use more. I love how just the right amount of system really brings out bionicle MOCs. But still I'm very much interested in what you have to say Gringat, and if you have suggestion maybe I can implement them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, as I said, she appears blocky, and less curvy than many similar MOCs, and I think a main thing is that they're all fairly fixed in forward/backward direction. Maybe try getting a few interesting angles in the design? I love playing with angley pieces even if the result's terrible, but it usually isn't.

That wasn't very helpful.

Stick one of those three-way bits right in the middle of the torso and see what happens ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You mean those light grey pieces that hat thhe + axles sticking out three different ways, with a + hole in the middle? Hmmmm I could kinda see how that'd work but I don't think it'd give her the right shape.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably not. Try it with a future MOC sometime though. It's wierd.

WOW! She's so awesome!
