Makaru Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 A robotic Guardian design for the defunct fan comic BZPStuck. The "parent" and main antagonist for the character Brian Lawson. Initially a deactivated Temple Guardian, Brian retrofitted it with personal computer capabilities. Has a "Hard Mode" setting. Inspired by Onua as well as the character D0G from Half Life 2. I wanted to experiment with something that was both extremely technical like heavy machinery as well as something frail and clumsy looking.

Rahkshi Lalonde Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 oh wow, hearing bout "BZPstuck" from my sis is how i got into homestuck at all, and basically why i have the username you all relate to me now, OOPS. the model itself just feels... right, as in it feels like the purest form a bionicle can take, that mix of fluid and clunky with just the right amount of exposed gearboxage! and i adore those big meaty claws it's got there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Invisible Handman Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Yeah I like this, the gears give this a good mechanical look and the leg's have an interesting design. I honestly like everything about this model, there's nothing to nit pick.

Distorted Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Good to see you back in BBC, Mak. I'm not too familiar with BZPStuck, but this guy is awesome - definitely has the vibe of an old Slizer or 2001 Toa set, but with more creative proportions and a modern style. I think the turntable waist and the gears on the back are my favourite parts.

Tell her I said hi. Good to see you back in BBC, Mak.

I think the turntable waist and the gears on the back are my favourite parts.I never left! The idea was definitely to get the weird proportions and the exposed elements, and I'm glad they were apparent. Quote Spoiler Alert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Considering the theme of the current BBC, I can't help but wonder if this might have made a better entry. It's nice to see BZPStuck referenced. I miss it. Quote It is not for us to decide the fate of angels. Dominus Temporis, if you're out there, hit me up through one of my contacts.

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 A BZP staff member (or former staff, I'm not sure) started up a webcomic about some of the other staff directly based on Homestuck. It stalled and died out a while back, but it was really neat while it lasted and I would've loved to see where it went. Quote It is not for us to decide the fate of angels.

Makaru Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 A BZP staff member (or former staff, I'm not sure) started up a webcomic about some of the other staff directly based on Homestuck. It stalled and died out a while back, but it was really neat while it lasted and I would've loved to see where it went. The parts I really wanted to get to [but ultimately never did] was finding my parents after having been totally not orphaned after a plane crash piloted by two skeletons of Totally Not My Parents You Guys They Are Fine. Also hey, some reference art I found for the titular big guy up there! I forgot he was also partially inspired by Mr. Bultertron from MTV's Clone High. What is a homestuck ripoff without countless and pointless pop-culture references! Quote Spoiler Alert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Can the build itself be positioned in the quadrupedal posture shown in the reference drawing? Either way, I love the exposed gears, and everything about the leg assembly.
