Alucia

WOW This looks amazing. I love the mane so much. The colour choice is on point and the pose is fantastic. Great job

By the way, I'm working on a moc that would really benefit from those tooth pieces, but I can't for the life of me find them. What are they called in Stud.io? Or are they from a custom pack?

If you search horn, you can find the ones I used under animal body parts.

Excellent rendition of Hordika Vakama. IT's quite a shame some of the parts don't exist in the colours you used.

Thank you so much, I totally agree, would require some painting to make him in reality.

I love the energised rock so much and the cables are a fantastic addition, especially considering how difficult it is to pose flex parts in Studio. Well done

I'm sorry, but no! This is way too good! It has to be illegal or something!

Hehe thanks. Think your version and mine would have an amazing stand off.

Love the spikes, love the colors, and I especially love the flame claw, awesome work man!

Thank you very much.

I can't stop looking at these, they're so good. It's also depressing knowing I'll never manage this!

Of course you can. I've seen your Mocs, they look great.

if capes were in stud.io

would you give vakama a cape???

I really liked that Vezon cape, I used it in way to many mocs if I'm being honest lol

I'd say yes but I must admit I do like how the back of this version looks, I used it a lot in an attempt to cover up the under developed backs a lot of the time. It would also make it somewhat difficult for his spinner to function, so maybe a side cape like over his arm would make more sense.

This is definitely an alternate timeline I'd follow. I get the impression Vakama's character is criticized often for the flip-flopping between sides (which is fair), so I like that your premise here has more drastic actions and living out the consequences, both the survivors/victims and the antagonizer. I'm sure awakened Teridax and disgraced Vakama would have an interesting dynamic as rulers.

I'd be curious to see your Vakama model for the timeline. If I knew more about sets and 3D modeling, I'd also try and complement more competently in that arena, but they look great. I've not followed every one of your topics here (apologies), so maybe you've stated this elsewhere, but is it kind of like a revamp of G1 with G2 elements mixed in? The masks especially remind me of G2. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read the story idea. It's something that i'm still in the early stages of "developing" at the moment. I must admit that I know very little about the G2 story since I originally fell out of love with Bionicle before G2 can around but the plan is to make things play out as a darker and slightly altered version of events up until around the mask of light sort of time. At that point I plan to branch it out into a more original story with my own original characters.

I also want to incorperate the idea that G1 started exploring with alternate realities playing a big part in this story. I'm actually currently working on developing my own big villains for this story called the Umbran legion of Serpantis (which are actually revamps of some of the first mocs that I ever made) but I'm saving them for around halloween.

If you are interested in Vakam's design I finished him yesterday and made a topic about him as well. Vakama The Feral King

As for the 3d aspect I'm sadly not very skilled in that area either plenty of custom parts on sites like thingiverse and some other sites too. I know there are guides on how to convert these sorts of models into once that can be used in Studio which I really want to learn when I have more time.

hey i saw this on ttv!

it's just as good(IF NOT EVEN BETTER) on Bzpower!

he looks very spikey.

though dat leg connection seems a lil' sus.

I know it's cheating a little bit but that's one of the things I find so fun about Studio, it does allow you to cheat a little and do things that you woulden't be able to do in reality. Still I'm playing around with some designs trying to come up with something that would be possible and still looks nice.

Lets just put it down to having to shake off the dust from not making any mocs for almost 10 years lol

(EDIT) Hey, just so you know I updated the thigh design with a "legal" one.

yes, he got banned.

though i think he is on the ttv message boards now.

Must have really messed up to earn himself a ban.

In anycase, I guess I should post here since I was inactive for almost 10 years. So Hi again everyone, good to be back.

I'm not sure it would work all to well but I'd be down for it sounds fun. Fun in the same way that the TMNT and Power rangers crossing over was lol

I have to say that whoever the artist is is super skilled, nice colour, well shaded and great depth.

Ok, so, this is the other strange piece i have. 

It's similar to the other one, but this is probably sun damaged, or something. 

What do you think? 

Yeah I think this one is sun damage. The positioning of the colouration looks like it had the sun pointed at it all day for a very long time.

my favorite final battle was the one with sokoda's legend of the bionicle and the kakapo set.

such a heartbreaking scene.

A legendary battle that only ended in heartbreak one day maybe...one day.

As for in story though the FInal battle on Baramagna. The epic war of good vs evil with the titanic smackdown of Mata Nui VS Teridax in the skies above. I would love to have seen that play out in a movie, if for nothing else than hearing Michael Dorn's buttery smooth voice as Mata Nui again

After his betrayal and murder of Whenua, Vakama slipped into the shadows. He curled into a ball and sobbed for what seemed like days. Eventually he was approached by Roodaka, she cradled him in her arms “You did well my king. The Toa were doing nothing but hold you back. Now you can take your true place as ruler of the Visorak horde.” Vakama could do nothing but weep, his eyes flickering between orange and green as he struggled between his true self and the beast that now fought for control.
"There is no rush Vakama, take your time, the horde is waiting for you and there is much that you must learn.

The weeks passed by as Roodaka worked her way deeper into Vakama’s mind, the Hordika venom within him took more and more control transforming him further, closer to a Rahi than a Toa his mind corrupted and hateful and the memories of his former life slipping away. He had become a true ruler for the Visorak and now Roodaka had a single task for him.
“Vakama it is time, release our lord The Makuta. He will thank you and grant you even greater power”

Okay so here we have Vakama the Feral King, this is what I imagined he would become if the Hordika venom continued to change him, no longer able to return to a Toa ever again he is a Feral beast and pawn of Roodaka and Teridax.
Now even his bright orange flame has turned green with the corruption of the venom that fuels his rage.

The same as the Metru Nuva, this is also a revamp of an old moc that I made back around 2007,

Thank you so much for the shout out. Really glad you like the Moc. It feels great to be back in the community as well

'ere!

if you do pohatu, would he brown or orange?

also, what shoulder armour is that?

i don't think i've seen it before.

is it a custom piece?

I'll try both, see which one I like must. Though I must admit I do like the orange.

As for the armour, yeah it's custom. Tahu's shoulder armor is actually labeled as Nuva armor. Galis is a custom Metru armor peice.

Not gunna lie, that actually improves the set's look a lot.

I honestly didn't even realise that night mode was a thing lol so I just switched to it now but I'm switching back cus it messes with the year icons and ranks sadly.

I started out with another user name, Bitrzo it had some meaning but I honestly can't remember what lol. I changed to Alucus around 2007 it was actually the name of a moc that I made of a pit prisoner. It actually stuck since then, I actually use this everywhere and have done ever since.

nice!

gali's propeller boots look very nice.

the mask you've used is nice, but i personally preferred the old mistika kaukau.

anyway, nice job!

 P.S. would you consider doing the phantoka?

P.P.S is gali floating a reference to mask of light?

EDIT: i realized i used "nice" 4 times. in this post.

NICE!!!

Thanks a lot though, I must admit the Mistika Kaukau is one of the masks from that line that I actually like.

I do intend to do the phantoka Toa yeah.

and you got the rederence straight away which I just love

Okay, just got Gali done…for the second time thanks to Stud.io corrupting the first one I made just when I started rendering shots.
So easy to see what I wanted her to be, more slender and “femanine” without going overboard. I did want her to have the original shoulder armor but sadly coulden’t find a version anywhere that works in Studio. She is taller than Tahu but shorter than Onua.
As for weapons, she has the usual, Mata hooks, Nuva blades and for the replacement to her Ghost blaster I thought it would be fitting to make it a sniper type harpoon gun.
(Also her poses are firect references to her Mata and Nuva canister art.

And a couple of group shots

Nice relaxed scene. Onua chills, Tahu, squats and Gali…well Gali Meditates and well floats.

thanks for the compliments!

if you would like, i can show a breakdown of the torso, as it's actually a custom design!

i chose the top hat and cane for him because you don't see that very often on mocs.

I'd actually love that. Torso's are a bit of a struggle for me so I'm always up for learning a new design.
