GAC 21 - 2015 in Watercolors

Holy cow, it's been a while since I've seen Bionicle art done with traditional mediums that attained this level of quality. Kudos. From the lineart to the watercolours, you've done some great work here. Love the lineup of the Toa on the bottom left, very reminiscent of the 2001 comics in a way while staying true to the 2015 style. Seriously well done!

Very impressive - I cannot recall the last time someone pulled a stunt like this with watercolors on BZP.

Superb level of detail, fantastic colours, good poses. Definitely brings on a nice case of nostalgia.

 

I am astonished by the amount of detail you crammed into this piece. It feels like I'm looking at promotional art, real sets, and the animated series all at once. The different styles you pulled into each section of the painting is wonderful.

 

The colours, my oh my, do I love that orangey sky over the mountains. Sunset, sunrise, whichever, it's beautiful. From the shading within each character to the balance of light and dark colours from left to right... wow. Only question is, with the masks on the sides, are they supposed to look as washed out as they do, or is that the lighting from outside the painting?

 

Your placement of the characters is excellent, with the good and the bad on different sides. They look ready to clash, like you say, but I'm glad you didn't actually put them into action shots (for the most part), since that would clutter it up to an extreme. I enjoy your take on the city, as well; it looks almost Greek in the set up of a shrine/temple on the hill, walled main city, outer districts. Very nice.

 

Also <3 Pohatu/Kopaka bffs.

 

Lovely work!

This is absolutely breathtaking! I just found it on Tumblr (I don't have a Tumblr, but occasionally search "BIONICLE" or "Ninjago" there to see what people are saying about those two themes) and was absolutely blown away! I like it so much that I've made it my desktop background on my computer!

This is magnificent!  I have seen it circulating on Twitter and Tumblr before, so it is nice too see it posted here as well.  Being a relatively artistic person myself (but no where near as good as you  :) ) and from a family of artistically gifted people, I definitely can see and appreciate the time and effort that was put into this masterpiece.  I love how you captured the new look and feel of the reboot while staying true to the old canon.  This is by far one of the best BIONICLE fan-made pictures I have seen.  Great work, and I hope you make more in the future!  This is now my new wallpaper!!!  :)

Fantastic! I love art in general, but especially Bionicle. And it is so rare to find Bionicle art that isn't an MS paint render of a Toa as an anime high schooler. And the detail! All the little things you've put into this, while retaining set accuracy and giving feeling and variety to it...all with watercolor. This is truly a masterpiece.
