Crunchyn Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) I got this idea while brainstorming for the BZP 2013 Brickfair T-shirt Contest. Printing it on a shirt would be too complicated and while it didn't really work as a black and white image, using color worked really well and I liked it so much that I created a Legend of the Ignika as well which might be an improvement as I figured out how to turn off the hyphenation. I wrote the legends myself based on references from the movies and what I can find on BS01 and it is written vertically (more recent ones were written sideways as suggested).

Chro Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 That looks awesome! My Matoran is a bit rusty, so I'll figure out the writing later, but in terms of the designs themselves, really neat. Too bad that (as you said) it might be too complex for a shirt print. Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Ah, good. I'm still fluent in Matoran. Good to know I haven't forgotten it!Anyway, these are awesome! Maybe they wouldn't work for a shirt, but they'd both make great posters or binder covers or something. Nice work!

Hitoshura Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Those look really nice. Using Matoran in the background is creative, and the details on the masks go well with the background. Great job! About the Matoran, I like how you put a hidden message in them about the masks. Quote profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 This is my new background on my iPod. Glad I can read it, but I just never finished the story. Really cool concept, I wouldn't mind a T-shirt with it if the design were somehow simpler. Very creative idea, although I'm trying to figure out how you did it. Did you really just have bolded Matoran lettering over the regular and erase the parts that were outside of the outline? That seems like it would take forever.

Did you really just have bolded Matoran lettering over the regular and erase the parts that were outside of the outline? That seems like it would take forever.Pretty much yeah. I already had some Kanohi symbols for use for something else and I used those to mark the area I want to keep the bolded text. The Photoshop magic wand helps a lot with making sure that I don't mess up. The hardest part actually was the writing. The tool I was using to type the text down made the lines go in the opposite direction. So the new line would appear on the left instead of the right so most of my time was actually fixing that part.UPDATE:By request, I have made a Legend of the Vahi Edited May 9, 2013 by CrunchbiteNuva Quote "I could have been a Protector but then I took a stud to the feet."

The Legendary TNT Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I like these! They look really cool and remind me of the intros to the Matrix movies! The only thing I'll say is, don't make the text sideways. It's really hard for me to read it like that. Other than that, great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChattyNerd Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Wow, these here are some great-looking designs! I personally would want them as posters and have them on my walls. Only people who know about BIONICLE would be able to figure out that the masks are made of text, let alone the story behind the mask! Again, truly amazing work!

Crunchyn Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Did a couple more Legends and variants. The Legend of the Ignika to this day still remains as my favorite of the series.

The Legendary TNT Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Woah! That's amazing how you put Mata Nui in the text like that! Same with the Makuta stone. And I'm glad you took my suggestion on making the text the right way; much easier to read. Great Job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunchyn Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 And here's the Legend of the Kraahkan. After this, I think really the only Kanohi left I can do is the Olisi Quote "I could have been a Protector but then I took a stud to the feet."

Logan Tec Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 You can still do the legend of (off to BOS1 for a sec ) like i said legend of the Olmak it played a large role in the serials and part of the piraka story. and an infected Hau. Quote one day this will contain greatness only the best. But take this with the ocean of salt then you will know what to expect from this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makuta of Time Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I love the Legend of the Ignika. The Kraahkan and the Hau look good too. I think all of them look good enough to be on a shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunchyn Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 2 months wow. made a new poster tonight, not for a Kanohi but for Rahi, the Legend of the Visorak!

Lemony Lepid Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Good thing I can read this! I wouldn't want to hassle translating. *reads Legend of the Kraahkan* very nice wording! seeing how this could be easily made (in my case that is), mind if I make one for my mask? it still might not be as good as yours, but it could be called legacy of the Akakamaku featuring loganto's mask the akakamaku.

You should definitely do the Olmak, and maybe something like the Great Beings (if we had an image, you could use the GSR though).
