Best thumbnail. Always.

I was going to make a fuss about how this is the month I contributed to Project 2012, the topic for which has been dead for months which is upsetting. Especially as there have been, and will be, several awesome pieces for the months. So yeah, I made some art for it. I remember at the time when I finished this that I thought I probably wouldn't like it several months down the track. That's mostly true, but at the same time I reckon it's one of the best pieces I've done. Which isn't saying anything, but yeah.

The idea for it was the three Matoran (Nuhrii, Vakama and Jaller) are each forging masks that would end up being significant later on in their own lives. It was inspired solely on the Nuhrii I made for the Big BIONICLE Poster I finished back in January, who was doing just that, forging his future black Kaukau. It was fun to make a full 'set' for the characters, the forge and all that. The drones were also fun to design as well, loosely based off the ones from BIONICLE 2. Anyway yeah, I can see more of the issues that this has that I didn't see before, like I should have made an effort to fix Jaller's lighting, for example. I still like it though because of the amount of satisfaction I had at the time for making it.
