marshmellowt Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) hi all it's me again i kind of vanished for a bit there is a reason for that and that reason is this i wanted to make a sort of example series for my lovely 8-bit sprite kit, so here we have it. you can expect updates... uhhh.h.... once... a week? ish? let's shoot for that for now. i'm going to completely slip up on that, but for now we'll pretend like i'm actually going to present a new comic every single week. yes... so, without further ado, i present to you... BIONICLE: Legend of the Toe (or just BLoT, for short) Summary: Everyone knows the tale of the Toa and Matoran of Mata Nui. Through the years, they performed great feats, fought terrible evil, and captured the hearts and minds of a generation. It was their heroics that unveiled the Makuta's plot, and they who defeated him and restored the Great Spirit. And since everyone already knows all of that, we're not going to bother with them at all. No, this is the tale of a wholly different set of Matoran, those that live and prosper on the island of Odhiki Nui. Similar to Mata Nui, Odhiki Nui is an island paradise. But unlike Mata Nui, Odhiki Nui was never menaced by the evil of the Makuta. Join these, the Matoran of the Toe, as they live their lives under the care of the Great Spirit and Turaga Rama. Theirs is a story that will become the stuff of legends.

Lemony Lepid Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 This looks like it's going to be amazing! I love the art style, the story, the setting, and the best part is that you haven't even started with the main plot! I feel this has incredible potential, and I will follow it very closely. 1 Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naota Takizawa Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 This is an interesting idea, it reminds me of the three fingered island that got scrapped because it would reveal the nature of the robot too early. I eagerly await the cast of characters that will appear here. Quote If you like Pingu & want to support a good project, click here.

-Windrider- Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hello, this is gorgeous, especially the second panel of the first comic. I'll be following along, for sure.By the way, you can remove my edit about the spoiler tags now that you've seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_jaga_genius Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Is it just me or does the island silhouette look like a Steelix? (Dang cool comic, BTW) Quote Avatar by Nicholas Anderson (NickonAquaMagna)My blog: The Jaga's Nest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshmellowt Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) dang guys it's been an entire week and i said i'd be back with something by then and i actually am so, here is the third comic, and the first proper update 03: Running in the Nuis i guess this is where us professional comic makers are supposed to respond to our adoring fans so i suppose i'll do that now This looks like it's going to be amazing! I love the art style, the story, the setting, and the best part is that you haven't even started with the main plot! I feel this has incredible potential, and I will follow it very closely. if you think that's good, wait 'til we get to actual dialogue This is an interesting idea, it reminds me of the three fingered island that got scrapped because it would reveal the nature of the robot too early. I eagerly await the cast of characters that will appear here. fact: the concept for BLoT originally began on the three fingered island, before moving to various other body parts, before settling on the toe. for no particular reason other than that the big toe is the funniest part of the body. it's true. Hello, this is gorgeous, especially the second panel of the first comic. I'll be following along, for sure.By the way, you can remove my edit about the spoiler tags now that you've seen it. please expect the official marshie-approved © limited edition desktop wallpaper to be released in the future This is fantastic! I can't wait to see more! i can't wait to see more of your pretty face on this thread. all of your pretty faces, in fact Is it just me or does the island silhouette look like a Steelix? (Dang cool comic, BTW) spoiler: the ultimate climax of the story will be a galactic pokemon battle between prototype-body mata nui and makuta. makuta uses mostly legendary pokemon, because he's kind of a jerk like that. this was fun let's meet up again in a week and do this again Edited August 17, 2015 by marshmellowt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naota Takizawa Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 The background looks like a painting of a tropical island on the first panel or you just grabbed some real life photos and heavily distorted them. Your new character looks like a Vo-Matoran, but she (or he) is moving to a place called Ce-Koro and correct me if I'm wrong, but that's a village for matoran with psychic powers, not lightning matoran.

Lemony Lepid Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 So I guess pixels are a standard unit of measurement in this world? Neet. Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khromatose Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 At first I thought it was a typo. I was sorely mistaken (hopefully). But so far I love the style and story. So much potential exudes from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshmellowt Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 wow we made it a whole 'nother week and i actually managed another on-time update. i expected to have fallen off the wagon by this point but here i am two whole updates in. god help us all. #04: Post Haste now, i feel here is a good place to remind everyone that i am essentially perfect, that i do not make mistakes, and that anyone suggesting that the previous comic was modified, altered, or "retconned" in any way, such as to add a small carrying bag to the featured character, is a liar and a slanderer. The background looks like a painting of a tropical island on the first panel or you just grabbed some real life photos and heavily distorted them. Your new character looks like a Vo-Matoran, but she (or he) is moving to a place called Ce-Koro and correct me if I'm wrong, but that's a village for matoran with psychic powers, not lightning matoran.cool trivia to tell your friends: masterful spriter though i am (stop snickering at that), i can't do backgrounds for beans. just can't do it. hence, the lovely heavily-distorted photographs you all get for backgrounds. maybe if i were an actual artist with actual art education, i could get by without the help of wikimedia commons, but alas. in the mean time, today's background comes to you courtest of the roman amphitheater. incidentally, you know what i have discovered is the toughest part of all of this (besides backgrounds)? titles. i thought i did good with #03. since then i've been drawing blanks. So I guess pixels are a standard unit of measurement in this world? Neet.i neither confirm nor deny that this was my intention but you may henceforth surely expect pixels to turn up in odd places. At first I thought it was a typo. I was sorely mistaken (hopefully). But so far I love the style and story. So much potential exudes from this.would you say you were sole-ly mistaken? anyway one more thing for the night, our lovely palu is seen here wearing a mask that is entirely new, which exists nowhere in canon. because, honestly, what would a brand new bionicle adventure be without a few brand new masks to go with it? so have here a brief look at the Kanohi Gadjati okay that's all i've got for you today goodnight everyone see you all next week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jed1ndy Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I like the atmosphere this comic set up so far, particularly the fact that it looks like it might star all the elements that weren't shown in set form. Also, it gets real deprsessing once you realize that they'll all probably die when the CORE2 GSR wakes up. cool trivia to tell your friends: masterful spriter though i am (stop snickering at that)Eh, I prefer the term "pixel-pusher," but to everyone their own opinion.
