Here we have a little project I hinted at a few weeks ago. I drew the Protectors of each tribe! I had a lot of fun doing this and I really hope you guys like it!
Anyways, I decided for these guys I’d take inspiration from different cultures from around the world (Narmoto is Japan, Nilku is Australia, etc.), however, for some characters I had a hard time doing this, specifically Vizuna and Kivoda, so I decided to make them more elemental, like giving Kivoda a breathing apparatus. Also, I was inspired by @cat and their design for Kopaka when I made Izotor, as I really liked how they gave him fur around his arms. Also, I don’t know if you can tell, but he also has a hood. And, for those of you who saw my original art topic from this summer, I used some of the thinks from my Korgot drawing on this.
Anyways, all comments and constructive criticism are welcome and very much appreciated! I hope you guys enjoyed this!
They all look neat and have there own charm to them!
I especially like the detail in the neck - I just wish that detail was throughout the whole body, though (then again, there are 6 of them, which would have taken forever to draw!)
@JonBlueFire Thanks! I really wanted them to be unique, so I’m glad you noticed! Also, I tried to carry that detail throughout the whole body on all of them, making them look like armoured machines, and most of the detail is on the torso. The reason I didn’t have as much detail on the arms or legs was because I was trying to get a feel for what other people do with Bionicles, plus with the whole gen 2 and ccbs thing, I decided to make them look sleeker. Anyways, I drew some G1 stuff, and those have a lot more detail
TL,DR; Wanted to have more detail but didn’t. My G1 drawings have more detail.
