Comment on First Toa Team: Toa Waive by Faybos
This really is an excellent design! You've really pushed yourself with the body type. I think I already told you this earlier but I still think you don't need to accentuate her figure by making the waist thinner. She can be 'beefy' and still have a wide waist at the same time.
Overall the armour and weapon design is very good though! I'm not personally a fan of the 'merged fingers' look though, but I'm not sure if in this case it's because you want the fingers to be literally merged or just a style choice/experiment. The pose is quite solid too. And the water effects, though subtle, speak volumes too.
Also; nice background for the character! It's a leeetle bit based on main-stream Ga-matoran personalities and habits, but then again not all characters need to push the envelope.

Thank you!
Unfortunately I noticed that too late. Perhaps if I shrunk her upper body down to give her more of a pair-shape it would have turned out better. I wanted to give her a wide waist but was so caught up with the angle and posing.
It's part experiment, part she needs these hands and feet to propel herself better underwater. They're still quite operable. Yay for successful water effects.
Waive was really hard to work with, I can imagine her personality but putting it to paper isn't quite easy. You have a better time with this, I'd be happy to hear any suggestions you'd have for her backstory.

Welcome!
All good! As far as the posing goes, you achieved it very well.
Righteo.
Yeah, character writing gets cumbersome, especially when you need to deal with a bigger team, as you did. Hmmm I don't have very specific suggestions, but maybe you could play around with what 'type' of nice she is and how that is influenced. It's really easy to write 'she is a calming individual' and another to write 'she thoroughly ensures people's happiness' (which could also suggest she feels she needs to please people) or 'she tries her best to keep arguments to a minimum' (which could also suggest she could hesitate or treat arguments as disasters). Basically, try and pull positives and negatives from features, and link them to back stories accordingly. I dunno if that helps at all haha.

Now that is something I can work with. Hm.... Ohhh ho I got something now. I'll be updating her backstory and personality shortly.
Okey dokey! Glad I could help haha.
