BBLIR's Daily Art Challenge

[BBLIR]

Time for more!

Kanohi Rur- hang on

That’s better! Mask of night vision painted in glow in the dark paint. teehee

Can’t call my game Lyrestruck if I don’t include a lyre.

anime_athena’s MOC

A le-koro flautist. Kinda gave up on this one.

Krika collage. No I will not be doing Krika crochet.

On the topic of Krika, I made an interpretation of his mask to complete the set of 3.

And speaking of interpretations, Makuta Teridax. But different. Kinda needed more time in the oven tbh.

Join me next time, when we reach the 100th drawing!

[ChubChub86]

These look great, these last two weeks have been especially good.

[BBLIR]

MOAR!!

Velika taking over his new matoran body. That matoran alphabet V is weird, man.

The c h o n k y vahki combiner thing. Doesn’t quite match the original in its chonkyness but it came out ok.

Having completed the Mistika mask interpretations I figured I might as well depict a toa or makuta wearing one. so I drew an onu-toa wearing a mask of disruption.

And I followed it up with a mask interpretation of the mask of telepathy. Kinda has poster vibes, this one.

Weirdly buff Onepu. I dropped my ballpoint pen on the page and instead of throwing the page away I got scribbling with no construction sketch.

Welcome to your demise. It’s “toa” Ahkmou with a mask of time duplication. If there’s any drawing I’d like to have as a MOC at some point (aside from the plushies), it’s this one.

Toa Krakua was next, using the Suletu from before. I tried to get the paper wavy to showcase sound waves but it didn’t work.

… So I make these in advance, meaning I have day 100 ready! But it’s too early to showcase, so you get a sneak peek

Still not 100% sure if I’ll keep going, especially since my markers are bust and idk if the store is getting more of them, I guess you’ll find out next week!

Enjoy!

[BBLIR]

Quite a bit earlier this week - I’ve decided to take a break for a bit, to prevent burnout.

Unnamed Toa of Gravity from Jovan’s team. Only thing listed is the mask, the kanohi Elda.

And with that banger out of the way, onto the main attraction!

Day 100!! To celebrate the milestone, I drew him larger, meaning this illustration takes 3 pages of the sketchbook. I rendered each with a different medium - the legs were coloured with alcohol markers (r.i.p. a bunch of them), the torso with watercolours, and the head with inks (mixed with acrylic paint for darker blacks).

As mentioned, I’m gonna take a break. I’ll take the week off and take at least a week to build up my buffer (which is currently at 0). I’m considering also making a tier list of the 100 drawings & paintings, would y’all be interested in ranking them?

As a bonus, here’s a picture of the two sketchbooks used for this challenge:

[DuneToa]

Ooh wow! I like how the different media make the lighting look different from top to bottom. Really cool!

[BBLIR]

I’ve gone ahead with making the tier list: https://tiermaker.com/create/bblirs-daily-art-tier-list-17291590

Feel free to roast me :V

[BBLIR]

Going over 100! (I almost forgot to post lol);

Vastus. Tried using pastel-ish chalk thingies, pain in the butt to work with and secure.

Vezon. Figured I’d try applying the new Ignika design on his head

Mata Tahu. I burned him : (

Mata Onua. Exploring my cookie-cutter toa design a bit, by making a big buff boi.

Toa Dume. Came out pretty well I think.

Here is where writing comments gets complicated - I don’t have names ready. I’m assembling a Dume Team, here featuring a Ga-Toa with a bow (why was this never a thing in og Bionicle bowsarefreakingcool) and a mask of accuracy.

And another Dume Team member, a Ko-Toa that punches stuff.

[Wekua]

I think the 07 comic ignika blends very well with Vezon there

[BBLIR]

i forgor…

More Dume Team - a Le-Toa with a mask of gravity. Smug boi;

An Onu-Toa with a mask of truth;

A tall Fe-Toa.

And now: the full team!

Boggarak. I intended some fog but the varnish ate it up

Pre- mutation Pridak. Some neat ideas but kinda weak.

Mega Man Crossover! Takanuva as a Robot Master (-ish)

Prototype, the dark hunter.

And because I’m taking another break, this time to make time for Chiara art, here’s the art from this week:

I was too tired to make smth, here’s a sketch of my OC, Irina.

Botar!

See you next time with Chiara Wips & maybe art! I’m already cooking

[Kanohi_Cantri]

@BBLIR

Chiara art

This is intriguing, I’m looking forward to it!

[Bonks_Unite]

So many great inspirations in a one place <3

[BBLIR]

I FORGOT

Anyway, here’s the Chiara I promised: Chiara fanon contest entry

And new daily art!

I didn’t have any better ideas that day so I made a quick spaceship.

Tried a like, segmented artwork and I think this type of thing has potential. The drawing itself is kinda meh tho

Any of y’all Mega Man fans here? Here’s Onua as a Robot Master. After some feedback I gave him some claws.

Already thinking ahead to Zaria. This one’s also kinda meh tbh. I’ll have to do some more work on it. Also planning to paint Zaria with watercolours instead of a full acrylic painting like with Chiara, but that’s for later.

Getting back into the swing of things, expect more stuff at the end of the week.

[DuneToa]

@BBLIR

quick spaceship.

I could see this being the design of the Red Star! Since the station was designed to be the propulsion for the Great Spirit Robot, it could probably fly itself around as well.

[BBLIR]

Batch no. (idk how many it’s been)!

Went a bit more abstract with this one, building on the Vamprah I did earlier. It’s Inika Kongu btw.

Gavla being munched on by shadow leeches.

Turaga Takanuva - I tried making a noble Avohkii and I like the idea, but I drew it kinda wonky. Maybe I’ll revisit it.

Toa of time. I had a vision with these kinda wings and I went through with it. I went kinda overboard with the mask though.

Another version of Zaria. This one’s better but I’ll keep workin’ on 'im.

I felt uninspired and drew a couple of misc. kanohi (aiming for the great kanohi look) and a mask of heat vision.

And followed that up with a mask of anger.

I’m a bit dry on ideas rn so here’s a reminder that I still take requests (doesn’t have to be (self)MOCs, can be anything).

[Wekua]

The shadow leeches are too cute to deny, gotta let em have the light

Would you do an interpretation of the Human Baby Larvae? I’m interested to see what direction you take the beastie in (There are more versions in my banner)

[Kanohi_Cantri]

That top one, please tell me you didn’t see this in a dream. It could be a sign of something serious. Never let it escape the dreamscape.

[Wekua]

One day he’ll be free

[BBLIR]

@Wekua

Would you do an interpretation of the Human Baby Larvae? I’m interested to see what direction you take the beastie in (There are more versions in my banner)

Yeah I could do that! I’m on the fence on whether or not I’ll post it, but it’s on the list.

[TahnokTrapper]

How about you give this one a try? Pudgy Fa-Matoran sailor with one broken optical sensor (the left one). See below for more information on the character.

Farda - Fa-Matoran Moc (with lore)

“There was this Fa-Matoran I met on a voyage once. He was the captain of an old cargo ship. Farda, I think his name was. He was the best navigator on the continent.” - Kapua [Farda] Farda was a well-known and well-respected Matoran, hailing from Fa-Koro, a Fa-Matoran village somewhere on the Northern Continent. Due to their acute internal compass, Fa-Matoran were often employed as navigators and guides - Farda was no exception, himself serving mostly as a boat captain. To those who served and/or traveled with him, he was known as highly competent, if a little eccentric. For example: Fa-Matoran from Fa-Koro spoke a Matoran dialect called “Fakornan” (the name itself is a corruption of Fa-Koronan - see below for an example of Fakornan). While not completely unintelligible, it could m…

[BBLIR]

Neat! I’ll draw 'im soon, the partial blindness is gonna be interesting to depict.
