Description
With this simple name, here's yet another revamp of my characters!This time we have Nuva, with his... I don't even know. 5th form? This guy has been around since 2003, so it's hard for me to keep track of his forms
I went with a simple and sleek design for him, especially since I don't like too overdone villains.
He just looks like any other Toa looks like... but his power are way different.

I build up a light box with a transparent material on the bottom. I then edited the edge out to make look better... that's everything there is to it

It's something lighter. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but it's quite bendable... I should really go and ask

Not bad. But there is little disproportion with short legs, long arms and bulky torso. Also, i suggest replace all black armor with silver, so it will fit his name better.

"Nuva" isn't a character that should represent the "Nuva"-factor as a figure. It's just an old name that stuck with him, but he ever since was mostly black/grey colored. A change of the color scheme is not possible.
I see the what you meant with disproportion though.

So why you called him "Nuva"? Strange choice. It does not sound like name. What about renaming him as "Nova" or something, so nobody will think of relation with Toa Nuva? I understand that this is one of your favorite character, but this is just MOC, not a trade mark or licensed character. You can simply make re-branding.
This is just my suggestion.

First of all, I gave him the name in 2003 when I was about 8 years old and his first form was indeed a revamped Toa Nuva. The name just stuck and I then used it in my comic out of nostalgic feelings.
With the character already having a place in the comic series, a change of name is something I can't do.
However, he never claimed in those stories that his name was "Nuva", the people just called him like that. Story-wise, his name could be different.
