Akavakaku Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Just an experiment to try and draw an '01 set in the '15 style.

The 1st Shadow Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Not bad! Your's is certainly better than my attempt. The lines look a little rough and uneven, but you've got the shading down perfectly!

Click Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Very cool! I can see that it fits the style fairly well. I've been wanting to do something like this, but I can't get the parts to translate over quite right. It would be cool to try in a vector art program like Illustrator (or Powerpoint, check out Bones' sig for a link ) just to clean up those lines, but it does look really good and I wouldn't have noticed had ~T1S~ not pointed it out. In fact, in doing the Tohu banner, I realized how asymmetrical and rough the animation style is, so it fits better than you'd think. I hope to see more.

fishers64 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Yeppers, that looks like a BioniClassic Tahu Mata. In Gen 2 animation. I nitpick, but some parts like the shoulders and hands feel like they should be black instead of grey. I would have also liked it if Tahu's mouth had red in it instead of being just a black hole. As it stands, it feels too big. Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekorak Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I really like this style. It blends the Tahu we know from MNOG and the Tahu from the new trailers.

Specter Knight Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Very nice job at capturing Gen 1 Characters (Well, only Tahu right now) In the Gen 2 artstyle. I hope to see more!

Banana Gunz Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 This looks great! It doesn't fit perfectly with Gen 2's style, but it still looks really great! It's simple but very awesome!

Akavakaku Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the comments everyone! I'd just like to add that some features, like the black void for a mouth-hole and the black parts looking gray, are borrowed from the '15 animation style. And it's true that this Tahu wouldn't fit in visually among the Masters and Protectors, but I feel that's appropriate since the sets themselves have a totally different design. I'm considering making more, and I'm open to suggestions as to what to do next.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I guess the new Bionicle line lends itself to a more simpler design due to the lack of small "technic" details covering the character. As a result it feels like this iteration of 01 Tahu is still busy when in a 2015 style, but I realize that there are more lines to fill in thanks to that reason. Overall a great attempt, definitely feels more cartoony and I really dig it. Can't wait to see some more characters done in this style! -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
