Tufi Piyufi Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The Legend Continues - Art Division Once again, Bionicle has taken a bow and disappeared behind the curtain. It was awesome to see it return, definitely, but it's no secret there was meant to be just a little bit more. In fact, you can get a glimpse of what could have been thanks to The Art of LEGO BIONICLE. It's full of gorgeous artwork of the people, places, and things that made up the second generation, as well as what could have been. We're very grateful to LEGO for putting this book together for the fans. But it doesn't exist solely as a PDF. Oh no. BZPower has several very beautiful and 100% tangible books we want to put in your hands. You won't find this in any bookstore; only 100 copies have been printed. It's a rare piece of Bionicle memorabilia, and it can be yours. How? One of the ways you can win a book is by whipping up some art of something you would have liked to see in G2 Bionicle. Put your own spin on one of the concepts showcased in the book. Show us a showdown between the forces of good and their next adversaries. Breathe life into an Okotan landscape, or somewhere new. A picture could be worth a brand-new book! ------------------------- You have from now until Tuesday, June 13 at 11:59 PM EDT to submit your entries. To submit your entries, just use this handy form. Only one entry per person per category, please. ------------------------- Voting: Preliminary Voting begins June 14th and ends June 17th at 11:59 P.M. EST. Final Voting begins June 18th and ends June 20th at 11:59 P.M. EST.

Other media are allowed at the discretion of the contest hosts. 3) Keep it clean, keep it civil. No flaming, no whining. Unsporting conduct will just get you disqualified. 4) Campaigning for votes (mass-PMing, etc), using multiple accounts to skew voting, and sundry other methods of cheating are only going to end in tears for you. Trust us: we'll know when you're doing it. --------------------------------------- Prizes: First place will receive a physical copy of The Art of LEGO Bionicle and their choice of 71316 Umarak the Destroyer or 71311 Kopaka and Melum - Unity Set.

Lady Kopaka Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'm also curious if it can be a collection of works. Regardless, you'll be seeing an entry from me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToaSmily Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 How does linking work? I understand that you paste the URL, but does it matter what site it's from? Could I link it to a post on my Instagram? Sorry if I'm maybe overthinking but I'm new to forums. I've been having difficulty linking images when trying to start a new topic (the preview kept claiming an incompatible file extension although the images were .png or .jpg) and I wasn't sure if this worked the same way. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunchyn Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I need a refresher on the Art Guidelines because the condensed version is missing the rules about violence and whatnot. What were the rules on depicting violence? [i'm on a bit of a skull-drawing habit and I want to know where the lines are drawn.] "I could have been a Protector but then I took a stud to the feet."

Could you PM me the URLs you're trying to post as images, so I can help you more specifically and without accidentally disqualifying those pictures from entry?

Matau228 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Just to make sure-- we're allowed to enter into multiple categories, just not to submit multiple entries into the same category, correct?

Pomegranate Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Just to be sure, is there a specific size/dimension limit to the official entry image/file? Can it be as large as I want (within reason obviously) as long as the images embedded in the entry's topic adhere to the board limits? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
