Finished a long project for Bionicle! Detailed pics under the cut
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The intro from The Mask of Light film as a block print with watercolour, medieval illuminated manuscript style. Took me about 3 months, mostly planing out the lego pieces as the floral decorations
If anyone is interested in a print let me know!

Practicing my Bionicle style with some Toas. I kind of like it. Once you get how the pieces work it's fun to draw, I just love doing details.
Here's just the sketch since I liked it too

Going through the 2001-2003 Templar Studios games and animations again because of course, and something hit me
Tumblr media
Vakama just uses the Sacred Fire as an excuse to share things he already knows from Metru Nui but make it appear like he's also only just hearing from it, right? Matoran or Tahu come to him with a question, he has the information but if he just gives it to them they'll be pissed at him for not sharing it sooner and also question how he knows in the first place, so he just gazes into this fancy fire and pretend he is also only just finding out, everybody happy
And I suppose the other Turaga do similar things: Nuju uses the stars (which isn't even a complete lie), Nokama probably consults the waves, etc.
And then there's Matau
And I'm sorry but there's only one way I can envision this happening:
Lewa: Turaga, what are those creaturethings coming from Makuta? Matau: Let's quickask the Almighty Kewa *walks to a branch on which a Kewa is just chilling* Matau: Mighty Kewa, what are the creaturethings coming from the darkgrounds of Mata Nui? Kewa: *caws once* Matau: they're namecalled Bohrok, and their dutygoal is to destroy. Their powerstrength is their Krana, and you need to quickfly and collect all their Kranatypes so the way to their nestlair will be opened Lewa: *confusion* Kongu: don't doubtask it
For added hilarity he always asks a different Kewa but insists that the one he's asking this time is The Almighty Kewa

GO GO HORDIKA RANGERS
A less traumatic approach to the Toa Hordika redesign
Oh boy, where to start? Since I had alot going behind the scenes redesigning these. Well lets start with me having an idea to basically having the Rahi be like Power Rangers' helmet motive. So did a research on their Rahi, personality, profession, etc.
So ended up being: Tiger (Vakama), Shark (Nokama), Snake (Matau), Owl (Nuju), Bull (Onewa), and Boar (Whenua) (Was thinking of mole at first but somehow the final design makes it look more like a tapir-ish boar than a mole). Then had an idea to incorporate their Metru masks as their helmets' lower half, which then made me realize that pretty much their Hordika masks are just "Elongated Face, with Horizontal Markings". So had to get a bit creative with that.
Then had to design their silhouettes/bodytypes since, might as well. So scoured their set heights from photos and building instructions. Ended up with having their Turaga forms as the main height reference and then mixed up with their Metru Height.
Also designed custom Hordika chest pieces, which then prompts me to scour every toa team ever (+Bohrok and the Kals, cause why not).
So yes, its a lot of work. I have no idea why I do this to myself.

Toa Hordika pack sleeping together.
Tumblr media
I had this idea when I remembered Matau saying something along the lines of "I better be with my pack-team!" And thought they would look lovely all snuggled together like actual rahi lmao
That was far from happening tho, they were very dysfunctional during that time 😵‍💫

This time we have renders of:

Kalama, Vakama and Nuhrii.
Tumblr media
Vhisola, Nokama and Kai.
Tumblr media
Tehutti, Midak and Whenua.
Tumblr media
Makani, Matau and Orkahm.
Tumblr media
Ally, Onewa, and Piatra
Tumblr media
Mazeka, Nuju and Ehrye. I know Mazeka never was on Mata Nui. The idea is that The Order send him to secretly check on the Metru Nui Matoran on Mata Nui. He was spotted when he got grabbed by Nui-Rama. He kills it, and falls straight into Ko-Koro.
Tumblr media
Iruini, Dume and Norik.
Tumblr media
Dalu, Jovan and Velika.
Any thoughts?

Oh, so you met a strange, tall, broad-shouldered woman who took you under her wing, tied you up, injected you with hormones that changed your body, and made you howl for her?
*wiping sweat off my brow* That sounds like an absolute nightmare.

Water for Gali was a sister, a second half, an extension. In the water she was whole, embraced, with nothing to fear.
Water for Nokama was an escape, a bubble of respite. Somewhere nobody could snag her, bother her, search for her.
Water for Hahli was a home and battle ground. She was invincible within it, untouchable, unbreakable, unreachable.
Air for Lewa was a safety net, a support; a pair of outstretched arms always ready to catch him before it was too late.
Air for Matau was a vehicle, another means of transport; something he had to master lest he break his bones upon it.
Air for Kongu was a second skin, a third limb; he knew better than anyone its shifting secrets, its so quiet language.
Fire for Tahu was an old rival. It curled on him, molded itself in his image, quipping amiably as they fought together.
Fire for Vakama was a tepid gaze. It reached out timidly, barely still burning, asking to be allowed in his hands again.
Fire for Jaller was a solemn promise. One he would need to hold tight, strengthened by discipline, to do right by it.
Ice for Kopaka was a taste of wilderness, carelessness, freedom; it was howling alone, dancing wildly in the silence.
Ice for Nuju was a breath of stillness, study, tranquillity; it was gazing in endless white to decode the world on his own.
Ice for Matoro was a scent of expectation, fear, tenderness; he entrusted to it his footprints, hoping they'd last.
Earth for Onua was peace and quiet. The songs it rumbled through him soothed him like kind hands easing his worries.
Earth for Whenua was reflection and wait. The stories it had written on its skin kept him company like many old friends.
Earth for Nuparu was knowledge and innovation. He heard in it his own voice as he mumbled during tireless workdays.
Stone for Pohatu was a rough comfort forced soft; when he wrapped it around himself like a blanket, he felt safe, warm.
Stone for Onewa was a tough tool forced smooth; when he shaped it according to his vision, he felt in control, certain.
Stone for Hewkii was a lean muscle forced strong; a part of himself that he exercised apart, to carve it into its zenith.

I know that out-of-universe, Roodaka is sexualized as hell because her toy model was built like that and because of how she was animated in the movie.
But in-universe? In the books, there's no physical or romantic attraction from Vakama for her. What starts his interest is her wielding her power and confidence. (And having no obvious affiliation to Makuta.) For a character as mired in self-doubt and desire for safety as he is in that time, seeing that combination when he's emotionally vulnerable would tempt him.
Then Roodaka does directly manipulate and tempt him with the promise of power as a way to fullfil his duty on his own.
