Oooo big brain! :o

Do you think Ryoko Kui read Fullmetal Alchemist and was so fucked up by Nina that she wrote a whole story about saving a chimera

It's Makuta o'clock

A rather extravagant Makuta who specialized in vibrantly colorful and fanciful bird rahi. The Makuta's evolution to gaseous beings presented a new problem regarding the need for new bodies, and this Makuta saw his opportunity and went for it, becoming the expert in body design; aiding his fellow Makuta in either tailoring their own new vessels to better suit their needs or creating entirely new bespoke ones for them. He himself could never settle for just one body, and frequently hopped between countless vessels of his own design, many of them just as colorful and fanciful as his rahi. He was harvested for his Antidermis by Teridax upon the latter's ascension to the new GSR.

A Makuta who was rather paranoid about their own survival, and considering how the Brotherhood was, this fear wasn't exactly baseless. Their obsession with keeping watch on everyone eventually gave them the position of security chief of the Brotherhood. They mainly stayed in the Makuta's headquarters as the fortresses' panopticon, having created a species of fluttering eyeball-like rahi that were all psychically connected to each other and their creator, forming a sort of security camera system so this Makuta could observe the going ons of the fortress. Their paranoia and position ultimately did not save them from the fate of many Makuta, being cannibalized so their Antidermis could fuel Teridax's Rahkshi legions. There are multiple groups on the newly reformed Spherus Magna who are looking to try and use the surviving eyeball rahi for their own security and spying purposes, but results have been lackluster.

A Makuta who truly loved making bizarre, usually dangerous, and often highly venomous rahi species. The Fusa was one of their tamer creations, and one of the few to spread out in the matoran universe, but most of their work was confined to the largish island in the south of the MU they were assigned. The island was used as a penal colony by the league of six kingdoms in the past, but the island is nowadays more known for its hardy inhabitants and wildly unique and deadly rahi. This Makuta has not been seen for quite some time, with the Brotherhood's internal register listing them as "presumed dead". Despite this, nobody is quite sure as to how they died, or even if they did, although a common joke answer is that they finally created a rahi so deadly that it killed them.

Have Pumpkin and Luvart kept contact with each other similar to Junior with Lili and Mara?

(also is the incubus from 'Luvart's heartbreak' one of Pumpkin's gfs?? they look pretty similar)

Luvart still summons her but I wouldn't say they're friends.

And yes that is one of Pumpkin's Girlfriends

hi i absolutely love your art!! especially the colours. im curious, do you pick them by hand or do you use gradient maps and/or filters over base colours

Hallo! Thank you! Sometimes I leave drawing as it is but often I just turn up the saturation and make the drawing darker bc for some reason I myself pick very gray colors (in sai, my main programm) In procreate tho I use umm that slides that make some tones pop up and that helps alot Here is exaple how my og colors looks like for funnies

I wouldn't call it completely out of character! Sometimes we act wonky when we're with ppl we deeply trust! Love this!

This might be straight up out of character but for the sake of the fact that its kinda funny please entertain the idea that pohatu could be at least part of kopaka's impulse control at all times. when hes physically present there with him kopaka will say out loud his plans so if theyre catastrophically stupid pohatu will physically restrain him from hurtling to his demise and when he isnt there then kopaka employs willpower not to follow through with his idiot plans by replaying them in his head with pohatus voice and going no the fuck you wont when theyre really really bad

Idea: a young man realizes his "imaginary friend" he had through all his childhood was just his future self, appearing to him intangibly as a guide to help him. He didn't realize they were themselves, because she looks quite different in the future.

Yo this is such a great art piece!!

My take on the Turaga Nui, from Shauni's (@legend-as-old-as-time) WIP fic set in Rags' (@magicalgirlmascot ) KNPS AU. Snippets of the fic here and here.

In which the Turaga form a fusion in order to defeat the Rahi Nui, but their past experience with the Hordika venom results in the Turaga Nui taking on a somewhat ...unexpected form. After the battle, the Toa Mata catch up with them. Pictured here is Lewa having the appropriate reaction to finding out his six mentors have turned into some kind of weird dragon-chimera-kaiju thing.

Some design notes under the cut:

The Turaga Nui's form combines traits from the forms the Metru had as Toa Hordika, known in this universe as the Kini Nui werebeasts. So, this was my take on them individually here:

(The Metru's human forms can be seen here) I hope it's fairly self explanatory which features come from which werebeast, but a few other fun design notes...

So, in KNPS, the Toa Kaita look a lot like the Steven Universe fusions, with extra eyes and limbs. The Turaga Nui follows a similar logic but on a more bestial body layout.

The top two arms are the most humanoid, as TN signs in ASL as well as speaking aloud whenever it is practical to do so (i.e. when there is not a Toa of Air attached to their neck). The next two pairs of limbs can function either as arms or forelegs, so the digits are more paw-like.

The wings are obviously based on a snowy owl and come from Nuju's werebeast form. Male snowy owls typically have lighter coloured plumage while females have prominent black bars on their feathers. Nuju in particular would probably have been almost completely white as a werebeast given he's an ice Toa and has white hair in human form. The Turaga Nui, however, is composed of five men and one woman, so I gave them a small amount of barring on the tips of one wing while the other is plain white. (The bars also help tie it back to the badger stripes on their face from a design standpoint)

The Kaita have metallic gold or silver skin, I suggested black and white patterns for TN's colour scheme to make them visibly nonhuman but also distinct from the Kaita.

Shauni felt that there should be more accents of each element's colours, however, so we decided on the "black" scales actually having an iridescent sheen to them.

I'd already been planning to give TN spots similar to that of a newt, but didn't realise until I started doing it that white spots on black combined with the iridescent colours gives the impression of a night sky/galaxy pattern.

I had previously suggested the name "Tien" to Shauni (Turaga Nui = T.N. Said aloud it phonetically sounds like "Tien"). Turns out Shauni had the exact same thought. Furthermore, it's a name in several cultures, various meanings include "heavenly being", "celestial" and "sky" (An etymologically related name is the Chinese "Tianlong", which means "Celestial Dragon")

So, accidentally coming up with a name that means "celestial" and then accidentally making them look like a living galaxy was a fun coincidence.

Also, apparently one of Rags' favourite DBZ characters was named Tien, so that was a plus for her!

The tail has owl feathers but is structurally more similar to the tail of an aquatic newt.

The eyes are based on the Turaga's animal forms but the colours come from their eye-glow. The three eyes visible in the image are Vakama's (green), Matau's (red), and Onewa's (blue)

As previous;y mentioned, photographs of jumping ferrets helped in drawing the dragon's limbs . I also ended up referencing hairless cats to get a handle on what the paws would look like with no fur.

I did do a version that shows the full body pose, which I quite liked, but felt that the cropped composition above was better to show the character details given tumblr's scrolling format
