Bionicle G3 Poster

Here’s a poster I did of the Toa done in a Studio Mir-like style. I used my altered designs for them, which you can see here:

Brickonicle Fanart (Tahu, Gali, Pohatu)[ART]

Hey, new member here which means I can’t post more than three images, so this will be split up into two parts. I just recently got into Bionicle through TTV’s podcasts (never really into Constraction as a kid, so Bionicle never interested me, but Bionicle as a system theme got me interested), so I decided to do some fanart based loosely off their official designs. I say loosely because I’m not a fan of all the armor being similar with color swaps, so I did my own thing while still keeping their designs in mind. [image] Here’s Tahu. You’ll notice they look a little more humanoid than they’re usually portrayed. I designed them so that they’re made out of a sort of synthetic muscle (think the nanosuit from Crysis). For Tahu, I originally had the idea that the blue markings on him could be a…

Brickonicle Fanart #2 (Lewa, Kopaka, Onua)[ART]

Hey, here’s the first post with Tahu, Gali and Pohatu: Brickonicle Fanart (Tahu, Gali, Pohatu)[ART] Now here are the rest: [image] Here’s Lewa. She was the first one I drew out of the six, so her armor is the closest to the official designs. Nevertheless, I thought it would be a cool idea to turn her cape into a wingsuit. I’m not sure what her weapons are called, so I’m just gonna call them axes. Anyway, the idea is that the handles of the axes can clip onto Lewa’s gauntlets and fasteners on the cape clip into rings on the axes, giving her a little extra length to the wingspan. I also added hair to her as well, this time being a more feathery hairstyle to fit her element. [image] Here’s Kopaka, my favorite of the six. He was the only G1 Toa I got, because I didn’t have a lot of mone…

Words cannot describe how much I love this

All it needs is a logo… nice work though! This is a beautiful looking poster. Everything blends together perfectly.

It looks good, though the toa just kinda look like grey skinned people dressed up in suits. Over all though they look good, especially Onua!

[joshuad17]

Yeah, since they’re based on minifigures instead of constraction figures, I wanted to make them look more biomechanical as opposed to mostly mechanical. That seems to be how most of the artists here draw them, anyway.

@Tarvaax I simply copied the masks straight from the official minifigure designs. Which give them very human looking mouths and general facial features, like eyebrows. As for the eyes, I wanted to give them more expressiveness which I felt wouldn’t be as conveyed with pupil-less eyes.

Holy cow, this is great! I have no idea how people can pull this type of thing off.

@TheMOCingbird

the toa just kinda look like grey skinned people dressed up in suits.

I think a little panel lining and a more metallic shading on the grey would fix that, I’ve seen the greys as silver/gunmetal since day one, so it doesn’t really bother me.

Regardless I rather like this, I’m not entirely sold on the weapons, but the amount of variance in their designs is exactly what I would want, good show.

Love the Dynamics of this.

Great stuff.

I really like how you’ve translated our designs into your own style! I also love how you incorporated their poses into elemental attacks - it’s really well done!

This is phenomenal, onua’s colours are spot on.

[darkbrick999]

Onua looks a lot like King Lui form the live-action Jungle Book (the one with the CGI, not the one with animals), but not as much as he does in the original art. Over all, it’s radical. I also like Pohatu’s claws. Still not the biggest fan of Lewa’s mask looking like a chin-strap, though.

[Tarvaax]

Pretty good, though I don’t think they have enough mask covering their faces. Gali suffers most from this. I also don’t like how the eyes are done. Too human, they don’t have that BIONICLE feel I expect. Like, it has that weird feel when you take something that isn’t human and give it too many human facial features. Besides, BIONICLE faces in general look better and more unique with glowing eyes.

[HORRIOR]

With them grouped up like that, it looks like Onua is carrying the team.

Like he always does

ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON!!! the only thing I would change however is perhaps make Onua’s loin cloth, or whatever that is, I’m not sure, purple instead of green, just so that there’s a little more color variety among the Toa, that and Purple goes so well with black and gold, other than that, it’s perfect!
