Hi everyone! This is my take on the Element Lord of Fire, the second in my Element Lord series.
Using the picture designed by Stuart Sayger, and the helmet designed by KhingK, I came up with this build, and I think it captures a being intertwined with fire fairly nicely. I gave his legs a purposefully busy design, as shown in the reference picture.
I also made him look like a beefed up Malum, which I think fits, seeing as Malum would have likely styled himself after his leader in the Core War. Besides his claws, I am most proud of how the G2 Tahu masks were used on his delts.
Hope you like him, and please provide any thoughts or criticism!
I love that, and I really love how both the reference art and the MOC base the hands off of the flame claw weapon Vakama had. It fits perfectly with him.
@DuneToa Well said! Even Raanu has that piece; whether it was designed for the Hordika or not, that fire claw design really seemed to be a common motif for the Bara Magana Fire Tribe! Thrilled you like this hot boy.
@Enbeanie Thank you kindly. It was oddly satisfying to work with such a weird design, as this particular one was somewhat defined, but the Lord of Water, except for his circular head, is going to be largely up to my imagination. Thanks, as always, for the praise!
@Powers0016 Thanks, again. It took me like 5 months to figure how I’m going to do the Lord of Water’s head, but I’m still trying to figure out the rest of him. The others, by comparison, are much easier. I’m excited to do the Lord of Jungle, as he’s up next. I’ve been waiting to get started on him since December, so stay tuned!
You are most welcome! The Lord Of Water was the exact one I was stuck on haha, so if you can accomplish that I can’t wait to see it! The Lord Of Jungle very nice! I definitely look forward to it!
Sorry for the late reply. I actually didn’t think he had any black in him in the original All Our Sins Remembered. When I looked at this picture, I saw that his head and arms were the same color, red, at least to me. Using this sort of logic, I assumed him to be either A. on fire or B. crimson armor. I will say, though, some black might not be the worst thing, but the only other thing I want to add is that I DM’d Stuart Sayger, and he confirmed that in my other reference photo, that the black was more likely shadows than his armor color.
Friend of a friend, using an art connection at DC. We’ve chatted a few times, and he’s a really cool guy, always happy to talk about his time on BIONICLE. If it were publicly available, I’d post a link, but it wasn’t, so I can’t. He does have his own website though, through which you can make business inquiries.
