A V2 of one of my best-liked characters. Also created a version of Tezra using a similar design.
About this creation
While both Jihahli and Tezra went down fairly well before, I myself wasn't satisfied with them. Their proportions were off. First of all Akonians are meant to be a bit smaller than most toa MOCs anyway, and secondly their torsoes were too long for their limbs - a trap easy to fall into with my female body design. I remade them, more humanly proportioned. They don't dwarf Mezzinus and Harren now.
Come to think of it, Harren also needs revamping. Perhaps even more desperately than these two did.

With Jihahli, she's meant to be stranded on this desert undead-filled planet, so I felt the exposed trans-blue "skin" wasn't really appropriate for her. I amde her armour more like, well, armour. A complete suit, with a computer attatchment, shoulder antenna etc. Storyline-wise it's something she found on Necra Minor itself on one of the miners, so it makes sense perhaps.

The thigh design I'm quite proud of, as well as shortening the stick-thin waist a bit and making her look more, well, humanoid. The pelvis armour for both of these MOCs is one of H2O650's techniques.

Another thing I focused on is posability. Jihahli's legs didn't bend very much before, and the shoulders were a bit wierd. Better now.

With Tezra, the exposed skin thing wasn't so bad. According to Me Ep, she's a bit more promiscuous and is a tokia on a rather verdant and rural moon. Instead of solid armour, hers has gaps, and a skirt, and some other bits to separate her from Jihahli's more industrial look.

Since Tezra was already so similar to Jihahli in design from before, the revamp tended to go in a similar way. Made Tezra's arms and legs a bit bulkier. She is stronger after all.


And the obligatory shot with Beta. ^^
Next up, more toa, lots of weapons, and my MOC-off with Ben Cossy!

I really like Jihalhi's design! Could I get a pic without the armor pieces of the back? ( I want to look at the design and use it on one of my MOCs, with credit of course!) |

Very cool mocs!I like the concept that they are wearing closes,so the hand and head is here skin,when you said that,it really made me look different to it.The build is also very good,though simples in the arms and legs.As usual,great work! |

That are some nice designs there, especcialy the upper legs and thigh designs. What i don't like is the back. It sticks out to much imo.
Well done overall. ;D |

I think the most impressive thing about these is the solid color schemes. Dark blue and red just look so cool as a primary color! The builds are much improved, I like the solid look. |

Less greebles :( Well at least she looks "complete" Is she shorter too? Anyways, I prefer the older version, but then again this is still an amazing moc that deserves 5/5 I must say that pelvis design is great ! |

Sorry about that,I just wanted to help.
Funnily enough I did originally try your idea. Decided it didn't look nice, but I used the design on Toa Kidra. Sorry about that before, but it sounded very rude :< |

Nice on both.I have a simple solution for Jihahli's unmatching upper armor.Just change both to inika armor.XD Well,I know you have atleast two of those.Don't you think?
I'm not going to swear on MOCpages, but you're making me awfully tempted. What makes you assume the assymetrical pauldrons are a bad thing? |

For some strange reason, I feel as if they seem shorter. o.e These are still great nonetheless.
They are shorter. Also, if you look on the "Bionicle" page here, Jihahli is pointing the rifle at Vored's head. :P Unintended but amusing. |
