Rahkshi Lalonde Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 hmm, "bionicle" and "manga" haven't had the best relationship in the past, but looking in here, i can say you have totally pulled it off. the tahu is sleek and nicely stylized, (though the flow is kinda interrupted by that awkwardly long piston on the leg, in my opinion. :0) anyway, good job here, you seem to have a unique look and a great grip on proportion and posing, and i can easily see great things rising from this style. :u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, thanks and yeah, I'll admit that with Tahu I spent most of the sketching with the legs, and they don't look as perfect as the upper half, but yeah it looks good for what is shown XD UPDATE: New pieces of Art!Nupara and BoxorToa MatauKopaka MataTuraga VakamaMatoran Takua ((Pre-2003)) Edit: Double post merged.-Wind- Edited July 11, 2014 by -Windrider- Quote "Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.

Oroki Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yay, more bionicle anime fanart. You've got a nice edgy-sketchy feel to you drawings. My favorites are Takua, Nuparu and Matau. Tahu lacks some serious fire, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silo Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Iv never seen this style used to draw bionicle characters and it work really well... Keep up the good work =) -Silo Edited July 27, 2014 by Silo Quote . Kathok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghidora131 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I decided to tolerate the human-bionicle morphs for a while, until I ran across your gorgeous Zaktan. While I don't like the lizard-like tail that much, I think you captured Zaktan as realistic, I'll be it anime, as possible. Well done.

Taka Nuvia Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Both Zaktann and Turaga Vakama are amazing. I am especially fond of the latter because you're breaking away from the archetypical face you use for many of the characters, yet still stay true to your art style. :3 And Zaktann is simply gorgeous. The face is incredibly well drawn, and looking more menacing than the actual set. ^^ I'm really curious about the new directions your drawings have taken, with the long legs and large feet... it's certainly something different.

Oh hi there Taka! been a while And yeah I'm really proud of Vakama and Zaktann, originally I was going to color Zaktann, but I added way to much detail and I kept screwing up on the coloring so I sort of dropped it ^^" but the other Skakdi will be just as menacing as Zaktann's Yeah my artstyle certainly has changed over the years, especially since I found dA and have found a better place to put my art online Also, latest image guys, sorry its a sketch, but I have something coming here to BZP soon Sibling Rivalry ((Tahu and Kopaka)) I decided to tolerate the human-bionicle morphs for a while, until I ran across your gorgeous Zaktan.

Yeah not many BIONICLE fans take too kindly to "gijinka"/humanized BIONICLEs very well XD And thanks a lot about Zaktann. Quite frankly it was hard with him because I didn't know if I should go all out or keep it simple enough to draw a lot of, but then thanks to doing it more detailed, I think I found a perfect way of drawing BIONICLEs in Manga format Edited August 7, 2014 by The Manga Maniac Named Zac Quote "Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.
