Dwanny Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Step right up, step right up! It's toa Audio's amazing horn organ!Believe it or not, but this took me six days to make. "The kanohi maestro was first worn by Toa Audio, who is credited with making the first horn organ, predecessor of the more popular shell organ."He made a large bellow, but it was rather high and found no toa that were up for the job.He hired a po-matoran instead.And the hammer can be explained: no, he isn't trying to break it, its just the only way for him to reach it.(geez, i've thought this through, havent I?)The first row is made up of hollowed out muaka claws;the second of mountain rahi horns;the third is made of some sort of coral.He couldn't find anything big enough for the lowest register, so he just had them made out of protodermis. :sigh:This was more of a funny idea than anything else.I got my inspiration when i was sitting in a church, listening to my dad rehearsing on his harpsichord. Then he told me "why dont you go check out the organ?" I guess he noticed i was bored. :PSo there i was, staring at this old, broken down organ, when i looked down and saw my dad doing his weird faces/ positions thing. He calls it "being in to the music", but i dunno.And that was my tale of how i got inspired to make some weirdo playing an old, broken down organ. So, yeah.This actually took me three days to make, but i was experimenting with the backgrounds a lot, so that took up the other three days.In the end, i realised it didn't require a backround- in contrast to my earlier "ta-koro school" drawing, the quetion is what, not where.Anyway, i hope you like it! (and i hope i didn't talk too much. I have the tendency to do that. ) Constructive criticism appreciated!-NOTE-Extra challenge:Try to come up with what Audio's powers could have been, what his mask does, ETC.Have fun!-Dwanny Edited April 9, 2012 by Dwanny Quote Find me over here! http://danielvangele.tumblr.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 LOLOLOLOL. This brought me back into the mood for some comedy. I like the Po-Matoran and what seems to be hair, along with the EXCELLENT shading. Shading is my weakest point in drawing. Challenge Answer: Maybe he's a Toa of Sonics, and his mask power lets him instantly know what note a sound is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxumo Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 well i'm not sure what exactly to say. the drawing is amazing. it would have taken me months to draw that because i suck at shading and my hands are very and i mean very unsteady, i like the way u put a lightstone above where i would assume the keys and such would be. also i find it interesting the way you used that little tentacle piece as a "hair" piece.i will say it goes up and beyond my expectations. i give you a 10/10also for your extra challenge i would guess his elemental power being sonics and for the mask i remember hearing beethoven or mozart one of those musicians had made full symphonies as children so i could see his mask power being something where he gets motivations and ideas for new music.

ZippyWharrgarbl Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Why.Why is this so BEAUTIFUL?!I'd definitely give this a 10/10. Just the general feel of the drawing... ooh, it's just so wonderful. The sight of the Matoran there made me laugh a bit,and I absolutely adore the design for Toa Audio.

Dwanny Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Beautiful? possibly, but are these the droids you are looking for?Audio's design was rather hard, come to think of it...Yet another 10/10? Oh, i didnt ask for criticism. Silly me.Ima edit that immediately. Quote Find me over here! http://danielvangele.tumblr.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
