Rahkshi Lalonde

It has been ages since ive drawn a Bionicle let alone posted one here, figured i'd just do a quick drawing of what is Constantly my favorite, Visorak!

Anyway, hope y'all enjoy, time for me to disappear for another half-decade or smthing.

Woah hey, turns out that that "technical Difficulty" i encountered ended up lasting, oh, say, seven years? how about that haha, well i think it's about time i dusted this off some, so without any further introduction, Pages 10 and 11 are here!

When Pohatu gets buried by falling rocks

If only Pohatu could do something about those ROCKS...

they were often boring, "dark" variants of Bionicle vanilla, and didn't really do much for the story aside from... exist, hence the fan disdain at the concept, just didn't feel necessary compared to what greg could have chosen to write about...

not to sound rude or anything but you literally described exactly what i drew the last time hand designs were discussed:

Right down to the use of the "T" technic pin to givethe thumb some swivel to it! O:

i can see now why hearts boxcars greg hates time travel...

Also many of Greg's recent answers in the Ask Greg topic. Especially his recent answers on the Kanohi Kakama.

Wait what? what's the old man saying now??

reminds me of when they rebooted Bionicle in 2015!

...wait.

I'd say titan, simply because Fenrakk is alive and not a machine like other vehicle sets.

i dunno man, fenrakk is a little machine anyway...

but yeah, fenrakk's a titan, vezon adds to his parts count and makes it still a titan set.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

And to all a good night!

 

mech team.

This gave me an idea.

Instead, it's mech sports.

I'm imagining something pink, with a vague rabbit theme, perhaps fires green energy pellets and speaks in outdated gamer lingo...

you might be onto something!

In case anyone didn't notice, today is Corpus Rahkshi's 2nd anniversary! Here's to a good two years, and more to come.

wow that's a lot of time i didn't spend RP-ing u:

you people disgust me...

...i want in.

"from light, into being"

this is impressive! i've noticed you have a knack for how bionicle shapes fit together to make something generally seamless,

the head, in my opinion is set a little low into the shoulders, but i think that's more me being picky than anything inherently wrong. x:

the light construct thingies are also neat!

IC: Rose [Refectory]

As the fight drew to a close, rose bounced back up giggling with glee, what perfect violence, shame neither of them died!

"boy th-th-that one-armed guy s-sure took a bea-ting!" she chirped to noone and everyone, stretching a bit as she got up.

Sliver was demoted because, unlike all the other Prefects, she isn't described with words like BIG, TITAN, MASSIVE, HUGE, IMPOSING, BULK, HULK or GIANT

given corpus has a gym, every student should be described this way tbh, we've all been playing wrong...

ah yes, ekimu was not often known for his days as the protector of stone...

and people said we wouldn't get a sequel to JtO...

(kidding, but still)

can i mention that my favorite thing is this whole game is probably how rahkshi just... casually summon forges from the gym

the gym

they make forges in it,

simply because they can

and nobody seems to bat an eye(plate) at it, it's amazing and i never want it to stop tbh.

 

And where would more holes go on a fist? The fingers kind of block any other points of connection.

On the current fist?  Nowhere I can think of.  On a new hand piece?  Probably the palm.  Imagine a hand piece without fingers that has a bar for things like Exo-Force arms to clip onto to serve as fingers and thumb.  It has a pin or axle hole through the palm for weapon attachments.  That's the dream hand right there.

thought a doodle might be relevant, since that's my thing:

yes? no? idk, kinda a mix concept of the current fist, a y-socket, the beast foot, and the droid torso, has a hole all the way through the palm and a hole on either side to attach a thumb-swivel assembly, could use chima claw, exo-force arms, or some new skinnier finger?

Pros: is detailed, poseable, probably scaled a bit better than current custom styles

Cons: might be too fragile? probably adds too many pieces for smaller sets to use (five parts a hand)

 

 

ironic: just spotted a LEPIN ad in the sidebar.

That's not irony, that's Google Ads tracking pages you're looking at and putting up ads that match the pages' contents.

 

also that's not what "ironic" means anyways, that'd be a coincidence if it wasn't google

 

What an ironic coincidence!

 

Honestly, this is a pretty good. It's definitely how I imagined her. Keep up the good work!

That's great to hear, I was hoping I'd described her right!

Reminds me of something out of the Nightmare Before Christmas, which really fits the Rahkshi well, I'd say.

Yeah I see what you mean, that sorta twisted and wiry look, it is a good one >o>

Love the dynamic of the pose - albeit she's just standing there, it doesn't look like she were just standing. Maybe hissing at something/someone...

The design itself is great as well, from the colour scheme to the spikes to the multiple eyes (those are amazing!).

thanks! If there's one thing i do, it's draw people just standing there, so i try to portray a little bit of the character when i do, and/or add a little flair to the pose, in case i ever decided to draw that same person just standing there again later!

I didn't even get to do anything yet and i'm still kickin!

the use of bows and hammers is refreshing to me, given they were two of the weapons gen1 never used, certainly beats a myriad of dual-swordsmen!

Yeah i don't think anyone doesn't know about Corpus Rahkshi by now, it's pretty fun,

Anyway here's one of my rahkshi, she's awful.

Bonus Human Rose cuz i'm boring.

(you think with how much i draw i'd make more art topics here but i guess bionicle is just harder to draw? huh)
