(-Kopaka Toa of Ice-) Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) I wanted toa bring Onua Mistika to life based on a drawing made by the owner of the brickshelf account MuffinToa. It's based on his folder Project Nuva. I will not claim all the glory for it. Thanks for the inspiration if you see this. I used Lego program called Studio 2.0. The options are severely limited but i did my best.

I was in a rush when i googled for caves as i wanted some type of bright cave. Besides there are no generic versions of the mistika canister backgrounds online.

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Oho, that looks like a custom-built version of those 08-09 armor pieces. Very cleverly designed, although I imagine a silver version of the Kongu/Jaller/Hahli Inika chestplate would more closely resemble Nuva armor like in the picture you used. Also, transparent dark green looks very striking IRL! Other than that, I feel a bit odd critiquing since you're trying to emulate a fan design rather than creating one whole-cloth. It definitely feels like something that works better in a drawing than as an actual set, but that's hardly your fault. Quote It is not for us to decide the fate of angels. Dominus Temporis, if you're out there, hit me up through one of my contacts. I've been hoping to get back in touch for a long time now.

Elephant Knight Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 That drawing looks so much more Onua like than the actual set. Quote My Flickr. Old Bionicles on Brickshelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BionicleBean Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) this is cool, though the leg armor looks a bit bulky. (but it works seeing as you used bulk's helmet) also he looks like he's standing in a lake. but that's also cool!
