PooZy Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I've been a long-time fan of bionicle, but the character design that really stood out for me was Krika.Here's my take on the character. *portrait incoming* Fullsize link: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/morkney/Newerart/bion.png I recoloured him a little, added a tail and switched his launcher for a hand (I mean, he's got to have a hand somewhere, so that he can interact with the environment...?).I kept the swampy environment and such. Image was produced in GIMP using a standard mouse. Anyway I'd love to hear your thoughts, and thanks for viewing! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specter Knight Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 This is Epic. I especially like the Front arms and the Biomechanical feeling you went with them.

Lady Kopaka Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Super fantastic work. Krika is one of my favourite villians. You did this with just a mouse? Mindblowing. I could not have the patience for that. At all.Original design too, I liked how you took the major points of the set and bended it to give him a creepily surreal look, but is still easily recognizable as Krika. It takes a lot of creative thinking to have such a neat design represented.Love the atmopshere as well. Eerie and love the sort of soft painterly style. Glad you also focused on the silhouette on him, makes it a stronger composition. Helps the 'ghost' theme going on. With the very cool colours/black and white in front, I also enjoy the aurora-akin colours for the background, helps him pop out a bit. The red on his face is a good topping on the cake. You got a great understanding of colours, values, and simply you're pretty talented from what I can tell. Would love to see more art from you. Thanks for sharing.

Van Hohenheim Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Horrifying. I get the feeling that a caricature of this will be haunting my dreams tonight. The blend of gears and mechanics and organics solidifies the feeling of being a mutation. I'm seeing a bit of similarity with this image and Bane, from Dota 2. Any correlation, or just a funny coincidence? Quote Previously known as Aiwendil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. almost everything I've ever made is in my now-abandoned flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/87782389@N04/although I think the stuff in there goes back years o_0.

Toa Jaxus Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I like, are you doing any other makuta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Holy freaking jackrabbits! That thing is all of amazing and downright creepy. The face (?) looks a little weird, but everything else is great! the detail is astounding. I especially like the front limbs. The actual set should have looked like that.

Banana Gunz Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Wow, that is absolutely beautiful... the colors and design just look wonderful. An excellent take on one of my favorite makuta!

Wazdakka Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Holy cow! This is probably one of the best pieces of Bionicle fanart that I have ever seen! Just curious, did you take some cues from the Tyranids of Warhammer 40,000 with the design? The eyeholes of Gaunts, carapace of a Hive Tyrant, and Scything Talons of a Carnifex seem to pop out at me. Regardless, it's even more impressive knowing that you did it with just a mouse! I love the twisted ground and reflection beneath him, I love the sketchy yet developed style, and I love the way he looks so utterly alien. I truly hope we get to see more of this style of art from you! Quote Steam Name: Toa Hahli Mahri. Xbox Live Gamertag: Makuta.

Vezon shall Return Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Let Vezon be my muse... *Clears throat* Oh so spiny and slender in height, In desert and wasteland full of spite. Makuta Krika so wholesome to fight, Repulses through Crast, in darkest sight. In simpler words, your artistic style is splendid. Edited December 3, 2014 by TrueshadowX01 Quote "Don't!

Pomegranate Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Wowza, that is beautiful! Love the way you played with the perspective, Krika look enormous and powerful, and it all just has such a great atmosphere with the lighting and colors and the rendering of the setting. Krika looks like Tim Burton and Aperture Science mashed together, it is such a neat design. You've got quite an imagination on you. I really don't know what else to say, I'm blown away by this. It's very scary, but also very magical, and very, very well drawn. I'm impressed that you did it with just a computer mouse, I would never be able to pull that off.This is just absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to see more of your art, 'cause I just love this Quote . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I'm not really knowledgeable about what Tyranids are :\ A lot of this popular culture seems to have slipped me by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
