...I need you guys' help. I've determined I'm going to try and rebuild an old MOC of mine, Skekel, and to modernize him with new parts and techniques. However, I ran into a serious problem... I forgot to take/upload pictures of his construction. So while he looks cool with a unique, disproportionate-from-human build (even has kind of a hunched-over Gul'dan look), my past self shot my future self in the foot. So I ask you all for help in my attempt to crack the code my younger mind created for this fellow! What I do recall is that his torso is built around a Metru body laid on it's back (so the chest is facing up and the bottom is facing back), and that I used Metru forearms to create a sort of floating shoulder. I'd also like to get input in good hand/forearm designs for his modernization! EDIT: I found a WIP shot in my scraps on FA! The photo quality is bad, but I think I'm on the right track now. And I totally forgot about that hose piece; I need to find it on Bricklink!

So I discovered the Metru Nui Online Game and it's pretty entertaining, but I have no idea how the game saves your progress if it does at all, where to get more widgets, how to find the right tools for the right items or even how to use them? Also, is there a list of quests to complete in this game?

Im pretty new to MOCs and I was wondering if anybody could give me some tips. (Btw, I didn't know whether I should post this under Bionicle Discussion or Bionicle Based Creations)

Hi guys,I thought i might try a different style for a change, so here goes:Dwanny Nuva: Wears the kanohi Arte (pronounced Art - Ay), the mask of dream realisation. He also wields a Pensul, a mighty weapon used for concentrating his power.First i thought i might do a toa drawing test, then it turned into a coloring test, and then it (d)evolved into this. :PThe main reason i inked it is because of the irony of a toa wielding a pencil, and so i decided to give it a rather cartoony look.Dwanny's Tips:To give something a cartoony look, try using smooth, curvy lines. Inking them also helps the "cartoon effect" along. Also, try using bright, bold colours.P.S. the colours didnt come out very well, i know. I think my scanner hates me.Criticism appreciated,-Dwanny

Hello, I have been drawing bionicles for quite some months, but the drawing of it always seem to come out pretty sloppyish, mostly cuz i have to keep erasing unwanted lines and stuff like that. I did try and trace over with pen, but it doesn't help much. Anyways, if you see some of my topics, like toa mata lewa/tahu drawings, you could see that their okay i guess, but lack like cleanness. I recently tried drawing the mata like my own way, like adding my own different parts, but its didnt turn out too well. So I thought about asking other artists who draw bionicles really well and how they actually draw theirs, and how they add their own mechanicle parts to it and stuff like that. So, basically, i just need your advice/tips and how you draw bionicles, specifcally toa mata/nuva. But another problem i think is that im not exactly that skilled in drawing, and is struggling alot on trying to copy the parts of the sets. Like i have Tahu mata right next to me and i try to draw him, though it turns out pretty awkward at times so then i have to erase lines. Another problem i seem to have is patience, i seem very patient at the start of the drawing, then towards the end i start speeding up like really wanting to finish the drawing, so its starts to look not as good as planned. And i also seem to have a problem with drawing mechanicle stuff. I recently am just sketching thngs like anime/manga picture from the interent, to just see how i can actually draw each of them, but i tried drawing EVA 01(from evangelion) and it turned out not as good, and so i think i do have trouble drawing mechs. So again, advice/tips from you is what i really need, encouragment maybe too. Thanks, I hope i'll get some fantastic tips from you all. Also, if this isn't in the right fourms, please move it?
