Elissa

Really digging the hip area, actually. Nice lines, and great work as usual

Thank you very much! I try to diversify, at least a little ^^

Thank you Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. It's always very nice to hear someone who frowns upon the humanoid versions. Thank you for being so complimentary, and I'm glad you like them. Matau was inspired by WWII pilots Maybe someday! Thank you so much <3 Much appreciated! I am glad you are enjoying them

Adorable. Love your Takua c:

Because I haven't been on here in ages. And I feel I've done some decent work, and improved a bunch into the biomech, since I have. I finished my HB Toa "Metru" last month (after a year!). Their costumes were inspired by steampunk-ish versions of their respective professions. In chronological order: My Non-Canonical Toa of Ice Bionicle Art Squad Challenges: Flora & Fauna of Okoto (Couldn't post a thumbnail for these next two) Video Game Characters in the MU Enjoy.

Lovely shading ^^ I feel as if the legs are a tad too short, however.

Really glad to see you posting again, Uncle K Lovely work as always. Your level of detail is extraordinary.

I look forward to seeing Setek. I'm sure he's up to par, or surpasses, the quality of the rest of the team thus far

Nicely done! You've done a fine job replicating the animation style here.

I'm really digging the streamlined kakama.

This is a really nice photograph. Strong concept, and executed well.

Mahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh <3 That's Elissa-talk for "oh my gosh I can feast my eyes upon these once more" Because even though I'm currently speaking to you, what better than to let you know how much I love them again!?

I approve of this very much and want a cube.

Granted, but: I wish I get that tour of the LEGO corporation

Greenwich

Anyone here in Denmark (Middelfart, specifically) have a way/channel/etc. that I can watch the premier and subsequent episodes?

Tahu, Jaller, Matau, Hahli, and Lhikan. I just feel like we'd get along.

The Mary Sue from my really old fanfic returns in an attempt to be less of a Mary Sue. I don't really have a well-developed backstory yet, but I'm working on how to make her fit in the canon universe, because when she was created, a whole lot of the universe didn't exist (like in 2003 whenever Mask of Light came out, that's how little existed). Working backstory: After the destruction of the island of Mata Nui from Makuta Teridax and his Rahkshi, a rift forms between the Toa Nuva as they try to decide what to do with the island: Should they try to rebuild, or should they venture out to the new, uncertain city of Metru Nui. Most notably, Tahu, who is stuck in his ways, wishes to rebuild Ta-Koro to its former fortress glory, and Kopaka, taking cues from his Turaga, wishes to see to the future of the Matoran in the new world. Toa Eli (named after myself, as 11/12-year-old me would have it) arrives to help restore balace between the seven Toa, their villages, and the island paradise they once called home. Now she's a Toa of Psionics. She wears the Konohi Suletu, and carries a psionic bow and arrow which allows her to manipulate the emotions of her enemies. This is my first truly detailed biomechanical drawing....I understand there are probably a lot of flaws and I'm looking at more and more references to figure out where I went wrong and to make my designs stronger --- HB Whenua BEFORE anyone questions me: Dark skin contains the hues of the earth, of the underground. I think that it can work both ways, pale skin and dark skin. For this one, I chose dark skin. My Onua had pale-ish skin. 'Nuff said. -- You can also find my first Bionicle sketchdump (with my first EVER biomechanical drawings) here.

I'm in love! Thank you <3 Just curious, is there any way you can do just piano chords for Lhikan's theme and LOMN Theme (I don't need a full transcription, just the chords?)

Show it to my friend, because it's probably slash fiction, and everyone thinks we're dating anyway. WWYDI your favorite actor stopped and asked you for directions?

Like The 1st Shadow said, that was just movie budget. Matoran body shapes are one of the things you have to take with a grain of salt in the movies, unfortunately. The set Metruan have a dramatically different design than both movie forms of Matoran. The MOL/generic movie form is pretty close to the set rebuilt Matoran of 2003, though, and at least the destined-to-be-Toa-Metru upper torso armor resembles the Metru Matoran set form. I suspect the MOLtoran are canon for rebuilt, while the "real canon" of the Metruan would probably be something between Matoran Vakama/etc. and the set Metruan. That's not how it works. If you're not destined to be a Toa, you can't become one. You're thinking of the double-fooling trick, where Makuta was planning to trick Lhikan into giving Toa Stones to the wrong Matoran, but Mata Nui tricked Makuta into picking the right ones as the wrong ones. Makuta salvaged that by later trying to fool the Toa Metru into thinking they were the wrong Toa after all, to discourage and distract them, but it was a lie, as they later discovered. Movie budgets and the set influence in some cases. But it's not accurate to say that NO others had those masks, only that we didn't see any that did (we only saw a smallish fraction of the 1000 Metru/Mata Nui Matoran -- and no, the generic ones thrown in the backgrounds of the Coliseum and Kolhii Stadium are not canon). It wasn't laziness -- it was budget and time. They only had a year to make the movies in -- considering that, they did extraordinary jobs, for movies invented to sell plastic toys. If you bother with all those side details, you do get a higher quality movie, but you have to pay somebody to do it in an official company-made movie for profit, and you have to pay them enough to get them to do it fast enough. If you just mean "laziness" as a non-literal way to say all that, though, then yes. What makes you think that? Being destined to become a Toa is a prerequisite for becoming one. There was a space in the storyline where they were told they weren't the destined Toa, but that was revealed as a ruse perpetrated by Mata Nui. That was besides the point. I'm also missing parts of the story because I'm really behind so I haven't gotten to that point. In terms of the novels, I'm halfway through Time Trap. Annnywayyy: Maybe my above more detailed answer has already cleared this up, but what do you mean by "besides the point" here? Zox's answer means that the statement he quoted there is incorrect. You're actually right that the destiny reasoning is irrelevant since canonically all Metruan had the same body shape, but not sure if you knew that yet at the point you said this. Anywho. The real reason it wouldn't be destiny for Toa-izing is that destined Matoran can't be determined by appearance, and if they could, it's possible the double (really triple) fooling trick couldn't have been possible (unless Ahkmou and company are also destined... -- but for a different time/circumstance). Destined Matoran would know who they are their whole lives, and that's not how it works. The differences are subtle personality clues only -- well, that and a tiny amount of Toa Energy already in them, but you can't see that. Hope that helps. Take apart the old, put together the new. Yep, all cleared up. I feel enlightened, and perhaps also slightly stupid for asking such a silly question For the record, that comment about "laziness" was what i meant by budget and time constraints.

I'm not a fan of this guy's voice. But hey, that's alright. 2.5/5

I would cover my mouth with my hands and say, "Oh, you think the darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the dark." But then they'd look at my torso realize that I am a woman and cannot, in fact, be Bane. WWYDI someone granted you the the option to become an expert at ONE thing in your life?

Hey, I don't mind being proven wrong
