Custom Painted Stars Head


The Great Spirit DM

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Most of my creative energies have been spent on a d20 BIONICLE tabletop strategy game. One of its main strengths, I've noticed, is its visually impressive pieces. Even though my boards are rudimentary grids, the BIONICLE sets still just look really cool. Among the steps that I've taken to accentuate this advantage, I've decided to try a custom paint job. I had acrylic paint on hand, so I used that with some painter's tape to specify which areas would be affected. I like the overall effect. I've always found it odd that Tahu's whole face is glowing through the slits in his mask. This way, we get a nice, satisfying set of BIONICLE-y glowy eyes without the luninescent cheeks.

I'm not a huge fan of the paint's texture, but since it's largely covered by a mask, I don't think it'll bother me much.

 

In the future I may take a look at Takanuva Stars as well. I would likely try to make it a darker grey with more black mixed in to make it closer to the set's other grey pieces and to provide some contrast with his silver Avohkii.
