Nope, I don't do Bionicle art. Great artist I am, but Bionicle is definitely not my area of focus. Maybe some day, but I've been talking with Nuile about the various art projects that I already have planned, and they're going to keep me busy. Not to mention they take priority over this, so basically by the time I'm done with some of my stuff this opportunity is going to be over and done with, which is sad because I really want to get into the field of illustration. Tell you what: I'll look over your list again and think about it, and even talk with a fellow artist friend about it. The answer will probably still be "no", but this still interests me.

 

In any case, it's really great to see your ontological inertia is still going. Glad to have you around again, and this should be a good reminder to get around to perfecting that one essay draft I discussed with you a while ago but never actually completed. Several months later, I think I have a little more perspective than before.

Just to be clear, it doesn't have to be absolutely mind-blowingly high-quality or anything. Even just one, as a sketch, as long as I like it, would work. (The standards have to be a bit flexible anyways since so much canon art is not quite top-notch.)

Ah. See, I was thinking of Vezok's Friend and his quality, as well as the quality you often put up. Which I can do, by the way, though not necessarily digitally. It would just take a painfully long time, especially since I take a lot of breaks and I'm a perfectionist.

 

But again, it's still on the table. I'm booked right now, but I'll post here again in about a week. If I surprise myself with my other pursuits, I just might have time for this. Definitely not making any promises, though. I made those before when I knew I couldn't prioritize the Ambage science fiction anthology, and it was very painful to back out of doing the cover for that when other things in life proved to be more important.

 

Now that I think of it, I guess my main concern will probably be getting my drawings and/or paintings scanned, if this actually happens.

Heh, I get that. There's some things I couldn't put on the list I'll have to do myself (being major spoilers ), and I plan to use sketches, but the scanner I've got isn't exactly the best. What I was thinking if it doesn't work was my brother's iPad might take a decent photo if held still enough (not by hands), so that might work for you. I've seen some pictures from that and they seem good (ironically far better than any actual camera from the old days that I ever had lol).

Memoirs: Progress...

 

Also, a iPad aught to work. I had one for awhile, and I had some degree of success with that stuff.

Here's my Matoran Civil War scene: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/abc8920/sdffdsfdf/mcw.png

 

I can also post it without coloring, and I'm open to suggestions.

Well... it's not a bad Ta-Matoran in Metru Nui, but how does it portray the civil war? I had in mind Matoran fighting in the streets and the like. Cool for the effort though.

I draw it inspired by the Spanish Civil War propaganda posters, which usually had only one figure (like the dead Ta-Matoran) and some text. But I see why it doesn't work

Ah, I see. Well, that's not a bad idea actually. I'll think about it, see if I have space.

 

Still, actual battle is the main thing those chapters are missing visually.
