Hidron Nuva Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Holding the faith of the Universe in his hands, Matoro embraces his destiny and, for a moment, he thinks about what would have happened if he didn't join Jaller and the others. He would have continued his studies, and, who knows, he could even become Chronicler. But that wasn't his path. He was Toa Matoro, destined to wear the Ignika and save the ones he loved. He would never return home, he would never talk to his friends again. But there was no other place in the world where he wanted to be.As usual, click the thumbnail.Some days ago, I saw my matoran Matoro on the table. I still don't know how he got there. Suddently I was overcome by nostalgia, Bionicle is long over and that set is 9 years old. This is (part of) my tribute to Matoro, a hero who saved the Universe and a good, plastic friend.As always, comments are appreciated, criticism is even more appreciated.This drawing is very sketchy and simple, I wanted to try something new, let me know what you think about this style Now go and play with your Matoro!

Parazan Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 That is a very good drawing, I like how it reminds me of the comic frame where Matoro dies. Ah, nostalgia.

Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Great work on this piece, especially with the matoran Matoro being under his toa form.It's simple and elegant at the same time. But his eyes could be orange and not red. Quote Does anyone want to play the Master Chief Collection with me? I'm trying to get a team going for ranked. PM for GT.

Dwanny Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Somehow, this made me think.Think about what Matoro could have been thinking. (if lego could think. )I saw a vision...I saw a flashback of everything that matoro had done.Translating for Nuju, meeting kopaka, keeping ever so many secrets, the return to his home,becoming a toa, the journey through the chord, meeting makuta and eventually sacrificing his life for the greater good.And all of that just starting with a little unimportant ko-matoran translator.Strangely, without noticing it, i have grown rather attached to Matoro.I found it cruel at first to let such a character die off, but now, i find it normal.Sigh, nostalgia.But now, on the subject of the drawing:It's very good! I really like Matoro's matoran form, it's really like the set, but then simplified. Great work!I also admire your style, it gives toa mahri Matoro a very cool look.As always, i love your work!-Dwanny Quote Find me over here! http://danielvangele.tumblr.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Valjean Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I like the composition, especially with how you utilize the most interesting parts of each of the sets and help them to make the character stand out in ways that the set itself cannot. Above all, I love Matoro in his lovable Tohunga form. Oh, how lovable.Your Honor,Tyrannosaurus Kraggh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
