Hey guys, it’s been a while…I was cleaning out my desk when I found some old Bionicle sketches I had done and thought I would post some of them here.
An attempt at trying to draw a Maori-inspired humanized Tahu
Inking practice on a Kanohi Akaku, the dings and scratches were inspired heavily by Carlos D’Anda’s art in the earliest comic books
A concept of a G3 version of the Zyglak, inspired by Sharktopus, the G1 set, and the Lusca
A concept of Brickonicle Norik, pre mutation, inspired heavily by the Nightingale-esque archer from Oomatu’s concept art
A Mirimax-styled “Turaga” Ahkmou
Mirimax-styled “Metru” Matoran miners…not sure what they were stumbling on but did this as a practice with poses and group shots
A concept for a Brickonicle version of King Vakama, back when @Kardax and I were writing “The Legend of Vakama” pitch
Animal/ Tribal mask versions of the Kanohi Huna, one inspired by a mandrill, the other an elephant
A Mirimax-styled Turaga Onewa
A quick sketch of Izotor/Kopaka from Brickonicle
And finally, my favorite sketch, Takua at the stone monument atop the cliffs of Ta-Wahi from the MNOLG. Also had the distinction of being featured on Bionicle Art Squad’s tumblr back when it was still active.
