Howdy, Back with another digital painting. This time it's my imagining of the landscape of the island of Stelt. I went ahead with the MNOG style again for this one as I felt it worked well with landscapes, especially as far as BIONICLE was concerned. Here's the results. Link to larger resolution Link to background alone Link to background without text The inspiration for this one mainly came from the description I had read regarding the Stelt landscape, which was that it had an almost ancient Greece type environment, with a hierarchy system, coliseums and gladiator battles. It was described as having structures that were often built and shortly thereafter destroyed. I decided to reflect that with the various buildings as well as the coliseum itself as looking ruined in some manner. This also was a test on perspective to see how well I could make a scene using perspective as the focal point. I think it turned out okay. There definitely are some things I'm less excited about in regards to the picture. For one, there really isn't a clear light source. My excuse is that there is no sun inside the robot so… Totally counts. Two, Soran looks a bit off here. The rough draft drawing of him had the pose working much better but I was unable to recreate it in higher detail without it looking… off. And lastly, I actually was going to make more buildings and potentially add some more life to the picture but I ran into some issues. Those being that I was having trouble creating more original looking crumbled buildings, and I have not yet designed Sidorak's species, in relation to my own art style. That and I was having issues with setting up things for them to be doing in the background. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with this drawing, I think it turned out well. There are some mistakes here and there but It's more or less pretty okay. I think it's one of the better backgrounds I've made so that's something I suppose. Materials: Gimp 2.6 and laptop trackpad. Extras: For those curious, here's the rough drawing/idea Hope you guys enjoy! Comments and critiques are appreciated as always. ~Soran

Howdy, Soran here. I may as well get on with the picture first. Give up the Ghost So this is a digital painting I did of a scene to appear in my comic series, "The Road to Home". It depicts my character, Soran, leaning over a dead matoran who is a Nynrah Ghost. The title of the painting is a play on the phrase, "Give up the Ghost," which means to die, in this case "Ghost" is referencing the fact that it's a Nynrah Ghost. This was mainly a test for me to see if I could create a character looking distraught without showing any facial emotions and since matoran wear masks it ended up working out well for me. There's also a story behind this which is based off of the actual BIONICLE story so I'm curious if anyone can figure it out. I don't know how long it took me to make it but it was over the span of 2 days and it was made using my trackpad on my laptop and Gimp. Comments and criticism is appreciated as always, ~Soran
