For Bionicle day part 2, I sketched my made concept for Toa Orde, the father of psionics.
Since Helryx was the first toa in general, I wanted to make Orde similar in that vien but being male was a core feature of his character so I went and inverted the body proportions of Helryx so that they contrast with each other.
Mask is the proposed mask of psychometry made by @Perp3tual which is used as the mask of limited invulnerability for Orde. The mask was chosen was it also contrasted with the mask of psychometry by pointing downwards. I did not think about the exo-force arms so the connection here is definitely illegal. Share your thoughts if you can.
Oh he short
I love it.
Thanks, his neck is long though which is intentional because Helryx has a hunchback.
ooh, I love that mask
I’m glad you like but you should be complimenting Perp instead. Here’s the ref sheet they made during the Helryx contest.
For some reason he reminds me of a frog
I guess it’s the mouth and feet. It would be a good motif since frogs can change gender during the tadpole stage which reflects the great beings modifying the ce-matoran after Orde’s face off with the zyglak.
this looks nice!
love the mask.
he could just have strange proportions
and still be 500 feet tall
True but he is supposed to be a little taller than Helryx which was the basics for his design
I went back to sketch to recreate a silhouette I drew for him in stud.io. And here’s the results.
*Cue the merit badge theme from Psychonauts
Here’s the front and back. I know there’s a lot of issues in terms of posability, and gapping but it’s good that I laid my ideas across.
