Popular Post Click Posted December 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) I've been really wanting to try something in the 2015 animation style for a long time, and the General Art Contest #21 (A Picture is Worth a Thousand Likes) finally gave me that chance. They wanted a 2015-themed banner for use in BZPower's social media, and so I put together my banner featuring Hapori Tohu in the 2015 animation style, surrounded by all of our favorite Toa. Hapori Tohu, Master of OrderJust Tohu Hapori Tohu is the emperor of a far off land, ruling justly, but with an iron fist. With a Ban Hammer in one hand, mightier than the forge hammer of Ekimu, and Scales of Justice in the other (don't think he won't hurt you with them), he is truly the Master of Order. Primary Color: Gold Element: Order Favorite Environment: Standing on the corpses of his enemies Masks: The Legendary Golden Gears of Eternity are all he needs. Powers: Regulating peace and equality while bringing in the hurt when needed. Primary Weapon: The Legendary Ban Hammer Secondary Weapon: Scales of Justice Signature Moves: Permanent Ban and Large Serving of Justice Key Traits: Stoic, Wise, and Destructive Behold, the fearsome countenance of Hapori Tohu!

Zeddy Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'm actually inclined to vote for this over my own entry, that's how good it is. Even stand alone, as a reinvention of Hapori Tohu it is pretty amazing. I like the use of the "new" gears to give him an updated look. And you've captured the animation style perfectly. Just out of curiosity, what program did you use? Quote [blog|Message] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Sadly, it is not majestic enough to show the full glory of Hapori Tohu. (In all seriousness, this is good and Hapori Tohu probably would upvote. I will upvote, since it is nice.)

Voltex Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I like this a lot. Like I said in the entry topic... even if this doesn't win, we should absolutely use this 2015-Tohu as our header now. 2 Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity, what program did you use?I used Adobe Illustrator to put Tohu together from scratch. I did copy a lot from the Comic Con pictures (which you can see in the background) to get the style right. I'm still not sure about Tohu's design, as I tried to keep him noble and wise, but maybe he needs shoulder pads like Tahu or Gali to finish him off. Thanks! I like this a lot. Like I said in the entry topic... even if this doesn't win, we should absolutely use this 2015-Tohu as our header now.Well, the staff has been talking about reformatting the main page. Cross your fingers! Thank you as well! 2 Quote ~ Corpus Rahkshi: Fang | Hoto | Tube | Tear | Canvas | Garrotte | Reda BZPRPG: Azusai | Mitsuri The Scarabax Library | Flickr | Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Awesome! Fits the style perfectly, and loving the use of the new head and gear design for this iteration of Hapori Tohu. Really good stuff, and I will probably end up voting for this one. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Thank you again! I just updated the first post with the full image, as well as a shot of Tohu's full body and just the head.

The 1st Shadow Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I love this! You've captured him perfectly in the new style! They'd better set that image of his face as the new Hapori Tohu profile picture. 1 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Once I get Kopaka, I will make a MOC form of this. Also- you have my vote now. 1 Quote I HATE SCORPIOS ~Pohatu Master of Stone, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Cup of Fail Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 This looks amazing, this would be something I would be voting for 100%, but shoulden't his color be the same color as the forums color (white and glaucous or what ever blue it is) and don't we get to see the Ban Hammer or it cannot be seen by any mortal Also seeing that Tohu Head make me think that would be something that I would see for a BZP G2 Theme on the Change Theme.

Click Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 I love this! You've captured him perfectly in the new style! They'd better set that image of his face as the new Hapori Tohu profile picture. Thanks, it took a while. I wish I had thought of this (or at least known about it) when that contest was up. Hopefully, when the next one opens, I'll submit this if I don't have something better. Once I get Kopaka, I will make a MOC form of this. Also- you have my vote now. Can't wait to see him! Thanks! This looks amazing, this would be something I would be voting for 100%, but shoulden't his color be the same color as the forums color (white and glaucous or what ever blue it is) and don't we get to see the Ban Hammer or it cannot be seen by any mortal Also seeing that Tohu Head make me think that would be something that I would see for a BZP G2 Theme on the Change Theme. Well, Tohu's traditionally been white and gold when I've seen MOCs of him, and I just thought it looked nice. I guess I could have put some blue in there, but it never occured to me. Would have made a great secondary color. For now, Tohu is just reaching out with sheer power. I'm planning on doing a Ban Hammer eventually. And thank you to everyone who voted, this entry took first place in the contest! You can see the banner on BZP's Youtube and Facebook now! Tohu is two more sites in on his way to conquer the internet! 1 Quote ~ Corpus Rahkshi: Fang | Hoto | Tube | Tear | Canvas | Garrotte | Reda BZPRPG: Azusai | Mitsuri The Scarabax Library | Flickr | Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we never hear from them again. Once you've seen it, there's no returning. (Unless, you know, you're revived by a big red space station.)

I guess I'll have to imagine it in all of its awesome glory, and confirm it if, Hapori Tohu forbid, I ever fall under its mighty blow. This is amazing! Now we just need a Hapori Dume in this art style... ... ... ~SS16 I actually thought about it. He was in my original concept, but I never had room. I thought it would be funny to stick him peeking in from a corner so you'd never see him unless you watched BZPower on your TV. To do list: 1. Ban Hammer2. Hapori Dume3. Awesome fight scene with Tohu giving Dume a hammer to the face like Ekimu4. Animating said fight scene into the best BZPower animation that ever has the possibility to exist....137. Less important stuff, like, you know, studying for finals. 3 Quote ~ Corpus Rahkshi: Fang | Hoto | Tube | Tear | Canvas | Garrotte | Reda BZPRPG: Azusai | Mitsuri The Scarabax Library | Flickr | Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyichir Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 When I first saw the new head clearly, one of my first thoughts was what a new version of Tohu using the new head and knob gears would look like. You have perfectly realized that concept, and I have to say it's so stunning that I wouldn't mind it becoming the new face of the site! Well done!
