Tohkann toa of arts Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) Here is my entry for the Journey to Netflix Contest. I went with the original Bionicle comic look, but with the new 2015 characters. I hope you all like it!

Petewa Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 You definitely accomplished the goal of obtaining the comic book feel with the Tahu Okoto and the mask of Creation, my only complaint is that he doesn't have his chest printing. Ah well, nine out of ten would upvote twice, if an option it were. Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure
Ghidora131 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 While i'm very impressed with your art style, the contorted stomach/hip area just makes me feel sick. Good job, anyways. 1 Quote
IlReSanmto Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Nostalgic feels unleashed!! However, my only complaints are the little problems with proportions (which were almost a trademark in the old comics, which is good too!), and DAT CHESTPIECE.But everything else is perfectly fine. Especially the Mask of creation ;D Quote
Quisoves Potoo Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) I do hope you've considering making a career out of this (yeah, the pay ain't necessarily great, but if you do hit it big...) Barring the appearance of an even more flabbergasting entry, I'll be surprised if this doesn't win, slinky torso or no.

Rooster Nui Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Just by looking at it, I can tell that you'll probably be one of the winners. Must. Try. Harder... Good job, though. It easily gives off an old Bionicle comic vibe, while still looking fresh. Quote
Toa Imrukii Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 AH, IT'S SO GOOD!!! BUT THE PAIN OF NOT BEING ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT KILLS ME!!! Ugh.... It's great, and I love it, but.... It makes me so sad, that I'm unable to do the same *painful sigh* Quote Quote: "Love has no fear, and no vengeance." | :i: | Andekas ⴳ A RUDE AWAKENING - A BIONICLE G1 Continuation and Video Game Project (ARTIST AND CONCEPTUALIST) | I am an ENFP, that is my Personality.

Ontocron Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 This is amazing, you captured the style of the original comics exactly, right down to the cracks and line-scuffs. One thing I noticed was that the 4-point lens flares were not all aligned in the same direction. Nevertheless, it is really cool art you've done! Quote
Onuki Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Really great job! This looks exactly like the very first Bionicle comics! You did a very good job of transforming the new Bionicle pieces into comic form while also evoking the simplicity of 2001!

Aanchir Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) This is epic! You did a great job mimicking Carlos D'Anda's style using colors and textures. One thing that bothers me is that Tahu's midsection feels very long. On the set, the "codpiece" begins shortly below what would be his navel, while here it barely covers his crotch area. Also, given the way his chest sinks forward, I feel like his torso shouldn't be so long to begin with. Together with his extremely pinched waist, it gives him a somewhat gangly feel, even moreso than the set's long legs and arms did. But other than those proportional quirks like that, you did a great job on the mask, hands, weapons, and armor. The overall composition is very solid. Great work!
