No Fireworks, But Art And A Contest I Do Have


Lady Kopaka

612 views

Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope everyone has a fun time with fireworks, grilling and other fun activities that you may have. :) Sadly I’m going to miss out on a lot because I’m having bad sinuses today and all I wanna do is sleep. DX

 

Good news is while the family goes around having fun; I can at least stay home and work on a lot of art and writing. I’ve thought of an awesome story idea (now being worked out as a ‘short epic’) about those two Toa characters I’ve created. So far it’s really entertaining to write, I hope you guys will enjoy it when I get it done.

 

And so I need sleep, but here are some doodles/drafts of the characters:

Just a bunch of random doodles I've done on different sheets of paper and then merged them together on photoshop.

Just a quick full body drawing of them, trying to fix proportional issues. :rolleyes:

 

They are without doubt my favorite characters I’ve ever created for Bionicle. x3 Sadly I have no clue what their colour scheme could be, so any suggestions would be greatly valued (Such is the reason why I have not finished this drawing yet). I was going to wait until I have the final version of the drawing up, but I have a contest for you guys:

 

Tachi is the girl; she’s a Toa of electricity.

 

Komas is the goggle man, and is a Toa of Sonics.

 

First person to guess the inside joke about their names gets a cookie and a sneak peak to my story (only if you are interested though).

Now….sleep! :3 *Crashes onto couch*

 

Edit: InsaneKungFuCharSiewPower won, the inside joke/reference was from the anime Ghost in the Shell and there are robotic characters called ‘Tachikomas’. Though I’ll tell you now to any who are familiar with the anime, these two Toa characters are nothing like Tachikomas, and it’s just a reference.

Very good indeed, Lady K.

 

How about dark gray and slate blue for Goggle Man? Maybe Bitil Yellow and black for Buster Lady...?

 

Is the idea for Goggle Man something to do with Hancock?

Wow Lady K, these are fantastic! I look forward to more and I'm glad you're feeling better now. Happy 4th of July!

Color scheme ideas-

 

Tachi- Blue and yellow. Perfect for a Toa of Electricity, IMO. Though I did like the purpley-pink color you had for her...

Komas- Silver and white.

 

=D

 

Hm....Tachi....Komas.....Touchy.....Commas.....Touchy Commas! You or a friend is very touchy about comma use in writing! =P *has absolutely no clue*

Purple with some yellow for the electricity lady, and grey and blue/white for the sonics dude.

Are they wearing Volitak?

And about the art, they looked better then the previous one although there were some minor flaws in it.

 

I guess the names came from a robotic character called Tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell. Well I just the names for fun, not really interest on the sneak peek.

I hope you feel better soon. We watched the fireworks, as well as a Star Wars: a new hope(watching the Death Star blow up could also be considered fireworks ^_^ ).

 

Hmm, tacky Komous?

 

Just a random guess...

 

-TT-

Dang. well, if weather was even a bit worse where you were, the fireworks got canceled, because they almost didn't do them here. ><

 

Still, happy belated 4th. :)

 

Impressive. Personally I think the colour schemes in the bottom left of the first drawing look great IMO, although if you want to personify their elements, I'd say gold-and-white or gold-and-black for Taichi and lime green for Komas, although add a bit of pencil to darken the lime green.

 

I'm pretty sure Taichi is one form of the word electricity in Japanese. Through logical reasoning, I say Komas is a form of either the word "Sonic" or "Sonics" in Japanese.

 

In short, I believe that it's that their names are their elements in Japanese.

 

If not, I do have a second theory. If guess #1 was wrong, I'm pretty sure, though not as much about the Japanese puns thing, that each is a form of Asian philosophy. Japanese or Chinese, I don't recall which one at the moment as I just woke up. ><

Tachikoma from GitS.

 

I'm gonna have to go with Yellow and light blue for the female and I think a brown and red combination for the goggle man. I love the designs so far and look forward to seeing the finished articles.

Thank you for all the comments and suggestions guys! =) I think I’ve decided on a colour scheme and we have a winner to the contest.

Though, InsaneKungFu pointed out he is not interested in the sneak peak so I’ll give the prize to Toa Zakir who guessed next. I apologize for the lame prize though. xD

-AngelFlame

Actually no, but I can defiantly see how I could had gotten inspiration from him. Hancock is pretty cool. ^_^

 

Are they wearing Volitak?

BtB

No, in fact I’m still working on their masks and powers. I have a bad habit of making random looking masks and then deciding later what they do. xD

 

I love the collar on goggle guy.

 

And bust lady's proportions are better this time.

Thanks UK! =D

 

Lol, bust.

 

And about the art, they looked better then the previous one although there were some minor flaws in it.

Yeah my first drawing of them got real messed up. Dx But thanks, and also congrats you won! Even though you’re not interested in the sneak peak, you get a cookie anyway: Link

I’ll have to look that up, because as I said I thought of the name from the anime characters Tachikomas, and that is a Japanese name apparently, so I’ll have to look up and see what Tachi and Komas would mean.

 

Tachikoma from GitS.

Thank you too, Zakir! Also congrats you were the next person to guess, InsaneKungFu said he wasn’t interested in the sneak peak so you’re the next person to deserve the prize. If you’re not interested though I’ll find another person to accept it though. :)
