If you think this moc looks familiar you are right. I used the same body as for my Junie from last year but I added a new set of legs, head and filled the back out. I just liked the base-moc too much to ditch ;D

Kupira Akisame was the daughter of a shrone maiden and a member of theyakuza. Because of this problematicc heritage she was hunted down and her parents both died protecting her. After wandering about for a bit as at 4 years of age she was taken in and trained by an old man named Yufukune. Eventually Kupira's genes ran amok and overnight she changed into a demon. She lacked any sort of self-control and in a fit of rage she murdered her own teacher. Realising what she had done she vowed to keep herself udner control and would eventually end up becoming one of the highest ranking demons to have ever lived.

Later she would meet Proctor Origin through unlikely means and the two decided to stick together. Because of this Kupira eventually wound up passing her knowledge onto Jabberwock.

So here we have Kupira Akisame in her 2.0 version? Well, I'll give ya a constructive criticism <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/> So this Kupira Akisame MOC 2.0 is pretty much some what different than the previous incarnation of her. Personally, there are something that I have to say honestly.

As for the construction, I do like the "new" upper torso built of her, even though that Inika shoulder as chest armor is frequently used on various MOCs. However as for shape of torso, it works quite well. However, I would maybe lean more into Kupira's previous incarnation's chest armor, Furno XL helmet is something new what I haven't seen before. But otherwise the whole construction of upper torso is more cohisive, less back bulky and solid looking, plus, I really like her back design now.
As for waist, I kinda prefer again for Kupira's first version's, since it creates a feminine shape, because of those bohrok eye parts. And Krana mask as crotch armor kinda fits her more than her current form's, just as a personal opinion. And I have nothing too much to say about those red skirt armor on her current version, basically just same looking, but they fit well for her.
Talking about her limbs, firstly about her legs. While the upper legs are basically same, but I personally appreciate those lower legs (Piraka lower legs) on her current version being more reasonable and sleaker looking than the previous version of, dark blue colored Skull Spider Masks as front of lower legs. However the back of Piraka lower legs might have been put on more time to cover the gaps on them, they're just a bit blah for me. The feet however are a bit irritating to see on Kupira, scale wise they're slightly too big for her.
About the arms, I'll give ya my tip of my hat, but the arms are far better now. Despite her hands (which are honestly meh for me), the upper arms are well customized and seems to be an original design going on her. Lower arms are okay, nothing too fancy going on those.
Talking about the head, honestly the head is weird looking. However I appreciate that you changed her head design, since the previous version had a bit unfinished look. But still, the lower "jaw" of Kupira's is mainly the part that gives an odd looking head design, just a personal opinion. The horn or her antenna(?) is maybe a random piece for her head.

Talking about colorscheme, well, what do I have to say about it? It is well balanced, but the yellow color was a bit random addition at the first glance, but looking them now again, it doesn't bug me anymore. Remember what I was talking about Furno XL helmet as being chest armor? Well, as for color, I'd lean more into dark blue colored chest armor, but as an original design being chest armor, well, it goes like 50/50.

For her weapons, even though Kupira's previous form's weapons were cool looking, but I approve more into her normal looking sword type weapons, they fit more into her profile more honestly. Maybe one gripe about her weapon, the main one, I don't know but personally I think Ninjago katana blade would maybe fit more for her main weapon.

To sum up this, I think Kupira Akisame 2.0 has been some what drasticly improved. I honestly have hard time to think about her upper torso's Inika shoulder armor as being chest armor, whether the part has to be replaced or keep it as balanced colorscheme. The limbs are vastly improved, mainly her upper arms, lower legs just kinda? And the head needs to be improved, the lower "jaw" especially, in my opinion. However I do appreciate that it has more sleaker and solid looking construction going on, and the colorscheme is also well balanced, plus her weapons. Overall, Kupira Akisame MOC honestly is somewhat well drasticly improved MOC!
This has been MrBT, and hopefully my criticism was helpful to improve your MOCing skills in future <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/> MrBT out!
