Akaku: Master of Flight Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hello everyone! I guess I'll be the one to kick off the revival of the General Art forum To celebrate the return of BZPower's forums and show my appreciation for the man at the helm, I've decided to draw something! (It's a thumbnail. Click it for the whole picture!) Thanks Andrew, for keeping Hapori's ol' gears turning all these years. I would've never expected BZP to still be running after all this time, hats off to you and the rest of the staff for keeping things going for so long! (Credit goes to Schizo Kaita for several elements of B6's design, namingly the head, hands, and color palette. Unfortunately I couldn't find the full picture B6 got his avvie from, so I worked with what I had ) Full Resolution of the Image can be found Here. --Akaku: Master of Flight 10 Quote "I've brushed with death so often I should start giving him high-fives while I pass."

Valendale Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 That's a very cool piece of art for the guy who does so much to keep this place going. I like the symbolism of him energizing Hapori Tohu. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taka Nuvia Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Ooh I like this. Both the concept and the artwork itself - the blue energy glow looks really cool. (and the gears -are- turning! That's a nice detail) 1 Quote My art collection topic - updated! (21/09/2021) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akaku: Master of Flight Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 @Valendale Thank you! Yeah, that's the idea I was going for. I'm glad it came across well @Taka Nuvia Thanks! I based it off the glowy blue energy around his fist in his Avatar. And good eye noticing the moving gears! I was worried that they didn't really come off as such Many thanks to you guys, and all the kind words on the BZP discord! I really appreciate it! --Akaku: Master of Flight Quote "I've brushed with death so often I should start giving him high-fives while I pass."

Master Inika Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Beautiful picture, and very interesting subject matter too. I don't think I've ever seen someone draw Tohu, and this imagining is amazing. 1 Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times. Your past is forgotten, and your future is an empty book.

Akaku: Master of Flight Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 @Master Inika Thanks man! I appreciate that I vaguely recall their being a BBC contest many years ago where folks had to MOC Tohu, not sure if there was one for drawing him, though. I mainly pulled colors and elements from the top of BZP's home page for inspiration --Akaku: Master of Flight Quote "I've brushed with death so often I should start giving him high-fives while I pass."

Zahaki Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 That looks amazing! Not sure if B6 is repairing Tohu or influencing him from the shadows... ~Z Quote Art:Antique Bionicle Cards:Comics:The Guardians of Gevra-Nui:The Legends of Taladi-Nui:Terrible Comics:Signature Under-construction.
