Taka Nuvia

I might be a bit early with this, but you know, with time zones you can never quite tell. Either way, whoever reads this, I hope you have a good day, and happy holidays to you!

I keep forgetting who they are, but that's a very pretty person

Orange and blue is said to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing contrasts. And hey, it has your name on it, too!

I could absolutely imagine it being rebooted in some way, shape or form in, say, 10-20 years from now. Gen2 was way too early imo. Would it be a Bionicle the way we knew it? No. Absolutely not. Gen2 somehow tried to appeal to new and old fans alike, and from what I've seen failed to do both. Personally I wasn't really a fan of the more humorous approach. Yet I do think the community takes itself waaay too seriously when it comes to canon and adherence to it sometimes. A completely new Bionicle, which would just be part of the franchise in name and logo (and constraction toys), could work though. With a fresh slate for storytelling and worldbuilding, that does not require new fans to essentially obtain a bachelor's degree in Bionicle-ology. None of this is saying that I want it back. But I could imagine something new, basically just "wearing the mask of" Bionicle (terrible pun fully intended) some ten years down the road.

The Curse - Diary of Dreams

I've always enjoyed drawing, but what really jump-started the whole thing was actually joining BZP! The artwork forums provided a "reliable" community, if you want, and by drawing fanart I was able to not only "get people to look at it", but also receive tons of feedback, and engage with others. Also drawing robots is fun :> I feel that regular (constructive) feedback really helped sharpen my perception, and guide my learning about how to approach analyzing my own art. Ultimately, this skill of being able to take a step back and actively reflect on what could be improved on in the drawing has been one of the most important things in improvement. Depends. Overall, coloured pencils, but at the moment I'm not able to summon the patience to really enjoy the process. Hence it's mostly just regular pencil or ballpoint pen doodles. The aesthetic! Well, and the (bio)mechanical concepts, andthe giant and immersive world building (even thoguh I only ever barely scratched the surface when it comes to the lore ^^') New characters, a new ruleset (no more gender-locking of elements. it gets old), maybe more 'monstrous' designs like the Barraki and Piraka. Those were fun. Hm.... as for books, I'm currently reading whatever I can get my hands on, so it's been kinda hit-or-miss... I can always recommend Kafka's works though, even if they're not exactly cheerful. Last movie I watched that really left an impression was Yugioh - Dark Side of Dimensions. Make of that what you will Games... Divinity Original Sin 2 is fun, but even more so if you play it together with friends. If tactical, turn-based RPGs are your thing. Parmesan! never had pineapple pizza in my life, so I can't really tell. man, I should really look up the proper responce to that someday I'd rather dream of farm animals than realizing I am the robot that was sent to replace my true, human self. :< Halloween related music... not so much, just the usual? I rarely listen to any specifically halloween themed things, but Voltaire is always a good starting point for a somewhat spooky atmosphere.

@Mushy the Mushroom Thank you for the questions! the next time I actually get enough sleep real... that's hard, probably tortoises? Or crows. Deciding is hard. fantasy... I'm kinda torn between unicorns or dragons I was gifted Nuhvok Kal back when, so I kinda fell in love with the sets first. Whether joining BZP or the movies came first after that, I can't quite remember - but joining the forums definitely marks the beginning of "really being interested" in Bionicle. (tho tbf, collecting the toys and playing together with siblings definitely played the largest part) Hm... anywhere imaginable. I'd choose a pocket dimension that can travel between realms and realities. So that if I needed a change of scenery, I couldjust go there... wherever that may be. ^_° The power of always finding exactly the right words to comfort others and help them feel better in any situation. @Goose Alive! Most days have been very, very similar. Currently looking for my muse, who seems to have gone MIA (making art much harder than it should be these days). But it's getting better. How about you?

Feeling like it, so... ask me anything, and you shall receive answers.

Divinity Original Sin 2 with some friends.

Well, smol me adored Takanuva and was evidently very creative. I'm mostly sticking with the name though because at this point it's almost nostalgic, plus it's what most people around here know me by these days, anyway. Tried some different things over the years, but nothing really stuck.

In case anyone was wondering what exactly my banner was... there you go ^^ (idk about the title for this blog entry. it feels strangely familiar, so I might've chosen it in the past. ^^)

Turns out I never shared this, only had it as a banner for months. Whoops. Anyway, I'm fairly happy with how this turned out, so I felt it merits its own topic, for a change. This was entirely experimtental, painted with gouache over a pencil sketch. I always liked the whole mood of the Vahki era.

That's such a clever idea, and creative too! I adore your creations. May I ask what inspired you to make a brick hat?

thank you, I appreciate it <3 PS.: that made my day, thank you so much for letting me know!

uni's stressful as always, but nothing much has changed over the past 5 months. The monotony is really draining.

Adorable, absolutely adorable. I also really enjoy how clean these are, and the colour schemes work really well.

5/5 at this point, I guess

Clockwork - Taemin been listening to this song a lot lately.

Drew a Protector! I have grown really fond of their overall design somehow. As always, I adapted a few things here and there and humanised the proportions somewhat. This was quite fun to complete actually!

MNOLG II makes me particularly nostalgic because I used to play that a lot when I was younger. I would also say it was what really introduced me to the franchise.

I'm really impressed by the level of detail here, especially if it is from memory. Out of curiousity, was this drawn with the mouse or with a pen/tablet?
