Astris Janus Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 So, this is one of my original characters. Specifically one of the main characters of my Expanded Multiverse epic, Dual Sides. Anyway, I present: Vanus, the Fusion Toa C&C much appreciated Astris Janus Quote Right, new forum, new signature.

Voxumo Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 While i admit it is a rather interesting piece.. The way you caught the eyes are rather well and i feel you caught the armor quite well. Also Is that suppose to be a fusion of a Huna and a Hau? If so very well done.

Astris Janus Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Thanks man Lot's of reference to Toa Metru shots for the armour really helped And yes that is a Hau-Huna fusion (Hauna? ). The two characters that make up Vanus wear a Hau and a Huna respectively so this is the result Astris Janus Edited January 5, 2014 by Astris Janus Quote Right, new forum, new signature.

They Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I enjoyed the picture very much. The date of illustration was mildly disconcerting however.

Taka Nuvia Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The art style is fantastic, and in a way reminds me of LoMN. The armour is recogniseable as Metru armour (or at least heavily influenced), the colours are balanced... but what really keeps fascinating me is the face. Both style and expression make it appear quite lively, it has that ...spark of life (for the lack of a better way of putting it). So yeah, like it a lot. The lineart could be abit cleaner, but it seems like you took a scan of a pencil drawing and darkened the lines, so for that it's actually quite nice. =D Love it, and it's nice to see some of your art! =) Quote My art collection topic - updated!

Astris Janus Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 I enjoyed the picture very much. The date of illustration was mildly disconcerting however. Hey hey heeyy... I'm from Australia Down here we do dates Day/Month/Year, so this was completed 5th of January, 2014 The art style is fantastic, and in a way reminds me of LoMN.

XD Could use some refinement but it's getting there I was always planing on going with a Toa Metru look for Vanus (the matoran who become him were from Metru Nui originally so it seemed natural), and I was heavily influenced by the LoMN style as well as trying to keep with set accuracy (partially because of Legend Reborn ).I'm extremely glad that he appears to have that "spark of life". It's something I strive to achieve in all the the things I draw And you're very close, I inked it with a fine point marker before scanning I need to work on my inking, make it a bit smoother, but this one was going to be rough anyway (was running out of time).

Grandmaster Lehvorak Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 This artwork is pretty appealing, especially the way you blended the colors with one another, thus giving the values and a texture on the mask. Even if the lineart is rough, I still like that kind of style because it gives that spray paint graffiti look to it. I also see you are trying to do a 3/4 body view for your artwork, which the proportions seem slightly off because you can see the chest armor kind of facing almost towards us while the rest of the body is doing the 3/4 view. It's okay, just gotta practice that a little more and you will get it! Plus drawing a view like that while the figure is kind of leaning can be hard. Overall, you did a splendid job! Can't wait to see more works from you! -Lehvorak Quote << LEHVORAK ZONE >> Web Design - Graphic Design - Illustration Find out more on: _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the 3/4 body view is much easier to do on a normal person, not so much on a Bionicle I'll definitely be practising some more with drawing Bionicle-based figures. I'm working on ideas for future illustrations at the moment actually, but I might save it for another day. Gotta do some reworking on my Humanised Toa too Astris Janus Quote Right, new forum, new signature.
