When I first started out on this site, I was a little 12-year-old dweeb who liked drawing and thought he was absolutely amazing at it. I also liked Bionicles, which (surprise, surprise) led me to this place. I found the General Art forum and I was sold. Despite being some pretentious kid, the community was always really supportive and kind - not only to me, but to everyone. That's why, even though I'm no longer active, I have always loved this forum. The constructive criticism and support I have received from the dudes and dudettes here really made me want to get better at drawing and be as friendly and awesome and clever and awesome and amazing as all of you people. Whether or not I have succeeded is another point entirely. However, I always feel really guilty for having left the way I did. All these great people who have influenced me in so many ways, and I just kinda faded into the background and stopped coming here. It feels wrong. I want you guys to know that although I've moved on to different things, you guys have always been on my mind. After some debate, I decided to turn this into an art dump. Not so much to show off what I've been up to, but to be able to (in some incredibly marginal way) give back to the community. And okay, maybe to show off a little. Just a little. With all my heart, I hope you enjoy. ayy lmao I'm not dead http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2014/227/d/0/entwined_by_chauvinistcabbage-d7v96jk.jpg http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2015/039/9/4/roger_waters_by_chauvinistcabbage-d8h5yzy.jpg http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/162/c/0/comatose_tranquility_by_chauvinistcabbage-d7lwml1.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/324/f/9/rock_is_eternal_by_chauvinistcabbage-d872o7c.jpg P.S: That got pretty emotional. Sorry if it's a bit sappy, but this place means a lot to me. P.P.S: the Kanohi Huna is still my icon of choice for every art forum. c:

Consider my Avatar Yee Olde' Thumbnail. Or Something. Ta-Da! I have a larger version of the image, but BZP wont let me make URL's and Images the normal way, and I only knew the code for making images pop up. Enjoy? (Or not. I haven't slept in over a day and this was originally just a doodle/rough draft, so I realize how Bleh it kinda is.) Also, Hello BZP. Back from the dead, am I? We'll see.

In my last entry, I shared my first two BIONICLE 2015 set reviews for The New Elementary. Now, I can share the third and final (for now, at least). Check out my review of 70778 Protector of Jungle, 70780 Protector of Water, and 70781 Protector of Earth right here! In addition, I've managed to draw something I'm really proud of for the first time in months! Check out my drawing of Gali - Master of Water right here in the General Art subforum! I'd love to draw some other BIONICLE characters, including maybe one of the Protectors I got, though I might want to wait to see if we learn anything more about their individual personalities in case that might inspire a particularly fitting pose.
-
So, I have something I plan on drawing further down the line, But it's something that raises the following question. If you want to put a crossover with Bionicle and anything non-Lego related, Should it go in the General art section or the Off topic media section?

I've been a long-time fan of bionicle, but the character design that really stood out for me was Krika. Here's my take on the character. *portrait incoming* Fullsize link: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/morkney/Newerart/bion.png I recoloured him a little, added a tail and switched his launcher for a hand (I mean, he's got to have a hand somewhere, so that he can interact with the environment...?). I kept the swampy environment and such. Image was produced in GIMP using a standard mouse. Anyway I'd love to hear your thoughts, and thanks for viewing!

So... I figured I'd have my own go at this contest thing. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Daronus/Other-Artwork/bzpower_art_contest_entry.png I know, I can't make excessively long links shorter, but this'll have to do. I was going for a style that welcomes the New era of Bionicle, yet hearkens back to the original series. I think i may have made it a tad too complex, but I'll see what you think. Enjoy!

It seems I was gone for quite a while. But just like the legends return, so do I and I bring along new art. Edit: Seems I was a bit overeager in posting. But since we have the actual reveals from NYCC now I checked with B6 and this is now cleared to be posted. Cheers, -VF

Given the upcoming announcement... what bonkles should I draw? Not sure if I'm adventurous enough to try the new ones, or if I should just whip up some nostalgic goodness.

hey you guys I have a incurable intense desire to design the characters as human. It's super fun to be creating the cultures, how everyone looks, costumes, and more. LATEST ART: (updated 11/24) 2014 OLD ART (click the thumbnail for the larger picture) TOA NUVA [outdated designs] OTHER Just a note, while I love critique, don't bother with the old art. It's yucky, outdated to myself and designs of the characters. Just thought you guys might enjoy seeing it. I will accept your opinions on how to change their appearances or costumes, though. If you guys have any suggestions on who I should design, let me know!

Hello everybody! I've been away from BZPower since the Great Downtime a few years ago, writing for other sites, blogs and even a magazine. But now it feels like it's time to come back. I am really happy that these forums are still going strong and the spirit of Bionicle is very much living. It's almost like I never left! Anywho, in this topic I'd like to share some of the 3D artwork I've been producing on a program called Art of Illusion. This program was originally developed for Mac systems but it works extremely well with Windows. It can do modelling, rendering and animation all right out of the box and is very easy to use compared to the other programs I've tried. And it's FREEEEEEE! Take a look here if you're interested: http://www.artofillusion.org/ Now I present a random selection of images, each one showing my take on a particular Bionicle character. Any constructive comments or criticisms would be most welcome.

A long time ago in an RPG arc far away I drew Ferron, toa of iron. Now almost a year has past and Ferron's gone from toa to turaga in the BZPRPG. To commemorate Geardirector's fantastic job with this character I turned my artistic eye back on the forlorn forgemaster. As always, C&C is most certainly appreciated! (Click image for full resolution.) I think this was the first time I really buckled down and tried to get the lighting just right. I may throw in the forge itself as a background in the future, but I wanted to catch the light coming off the piece of metal Ferron is hammering as it glanced across his carapace.

Remember all the cool little rocks from the MNOLG games? My girlfriend is talented in ceramics and decided to make a few for me. I absolutely love them, and they are the best darn desk paperweights I've ever had. So I decided to set them up some with some iconic MNOLG characters. On a side note, she is making more and starting an etsy to sell them, would anyone be interested? Let me know what you think!

Here I will post my MNOG-based creations, so you can admire my 'boredom at home made into a picture'. So, to start let me introduce the ta koro guard defending the ta wahi beach from... whatever it needs defending from. Any feedback, comentaries, discussion, requests, etc are appreciated.

For the members of this site who haven't been recently browsing my blog, I've started a project to make illustrations and maps of the locations throughout the official BZPRPG (using 2013 gameplay as the reference). I've gathered a massive amount of information on architecture and approximate building locations, and have begun working on a large aerial map of Po-Koro, but at an angle so the buildings "pop up" from their blocks. To prepare for the millions of little roofing tiles I'll be drawing I did a small sample. Unfortunately the art is a little too big to view directly on this site, so please enjoy AFTER THE JUMP. ~Kughii

In 2011 I decided to draw Dark Mirror in comic form during study hall in high school. It is 35 pages long. ( is that a record? lol). Also, I used composition notebook paper, and my handwriting is small, so it's kinda ugly. I did a better job the farther I got. If you think it's boring, skip to chapter 8, that's where the battle starts. Brickshelf has not approved my registration after signing up 5 days ago, and I cant try again... so Im going to try my Deviant Art account if that's ok. Right now, I am starting a comic for Dwellers in Darkness. http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-216107698 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-1-216108480 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-2-216108891 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-3-216109209 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-4-216110358 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-5-216111690 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-6-216112202 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-7-216113002 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-8-216113771 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-9-216114237 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-10-216114735 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-11-216269849 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-12-216270856 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-13-216271367 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-14-216272294 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-15-216272853 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-16-216279388 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-17-216280099 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-18-216280673 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-19-216281313 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-20-216281868 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-21-216346034 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-22-216346458 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-23-216347040 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-24-216347289 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-25-216347589 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-26-216348005 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-27-216348277 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-28-216348613 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-29-216348814 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-30-216349105 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-31-216349317 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-32-216349547 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-33-216349708 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-34-216349965 http://stupidjedi.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Dark-Mirror-Comic-35-216350488

I've just finished registering all the MOCs for BrickFair that people have sent me, and just in time too as MOCs submitted after today (ie in the next 20 minutes of typing this) won't have their MOC cards printed out and I'd have had to do that myself. And what dawned on me was how cool our fanbase is that we have art to go along with our MOCs. Aside from Greg Hyland's art here and there, I can't think of another theme displayed at conventions that have fan-made art accompanying their MOCs, aside from the MOCs themselves. And that is something for all you artists to pat yourselves on the back for. -CF (Five days! (My festivities start in 2!))

Hey, everypony! I know I haven't blogged in a while but I figured I ought to share what my plans are for Brickfair VA this year. Yep, my brothers and I will be going again this year, as has become a tradition. I'm a bit sad that this means I can't make it to BronyCon, which is going to be in Baltimore the very same weekend, but hopefully next year the two events will be scheduled on different weekends but BronyCon will remain near my home in Virginia. Anyway, I've already registered my MOCs for Brickfair. Most of them are Hero Factory MOCs this time around, which is nice, since last year I ended up spending so much of my time near the BIONICLE table anyway. I will be bringing Kit Martello (who has been modded somewhat since I entered her in BBCC#64), Koboldon in both his Before Mutation and After Mutation forms (who I'm now allowed to mention was a contest entry in the "Before & After Brain Attack" contest on Eurobricks forums, which is currently in voting), and my Hero Factory Canine Buddy (who has had minor cosmetic alterations for his IRL debut). Rise of the Dread Colossus, an Atlantis MOC which Lyichir and I exhibited last year, will be making a return appearance. I will also be bringing some of my LEGO-related artwork to display. It's nothing too impressive but it was well-received last year and I've gotten a couple drawings done since then. Natalie Breez, Jaller, Captain of the Guard, The Venerable Turaga Vakama, Swarm of the Century, Kai and Family, and Captain of the Guard (not to be confused with the previous Jaller drawing I mentioned). I have other LEGO art such as my MLP:FiM/Ninjago crossover drawing Welcoming Cousin Spitfire, but I do not know if I'll be exhibiting it because it is sketchier and has never been brought to any level of finality. I will, however, be bringing my drawing folder in case I want to share any of my less finished or less LEGO-related art with any other artists in attendance, just as I did last year. I'm very much looking forward to visiting the vendor area, where I hope to get some bulk Hero Factory parts like I did last year (that decision definitely paid off) and some more specific System elements I've lately found myself in need of. I'm not entirely sure what I can expect to find, but since last year there was no shortage of parts from 2011 Hero Factory sets (which I imagine the sellers may have picked up on clearance), then I hope to see an abundance of parts from 2012 Hero Factory sets and Super Heroes constraction sets this time around. Most importantly, though, I'm looking forward to spending time with people I've gotten to know online, including some of my more recent acquaintances from Brickset, Flickr, BZPower, and Eurobricks, as well as many of my older friends from BZPower like Lady Kopaka, Turakii #1 Lava Surfer, Toa Lhikan Hordika, and Omicron. Many in this latter category are friends who have not been especially active on BZPower for a long time, for one reason or another, but whom I've kept tabs with on Facebook and other sites. I'm wondering about possibly bringing my iPod and a small stereo to Brickfair. I find Brickfair is very, very often lacking in terms of music. Last year at the BIONICLE tables someone brought some music and it really livened things up. Plus, I happen to have a decent amount of LEGO music on my iPod: the BIONICLE Power Pack, all the Cryoshell songs used in BIONICLE promotions, and over two and a half hours of music from the Ninjago soundtrack. I'm not entirely settled on bringing music but I'm thinking it could be worthwhile at least on the non-public days (Thursday and Friday). If you want to find me at Brickfair, I'll most likely spend most of my time either walking the show floor or hanging out at the BIONICLE tables with the BZPower crowd. You should be able to recognize me by my badge, which will be bigger but otherwise mostly unchanged from last year. And perhaps also by my glasses and hair which are not all that different from how they appear on the sigfig in my avatar. I look forward to connecting with many people I've met online this year, and I hope we can exchange contact details so I can possibly deepen some of those relationships!
