The Heart of BZPower


Akaku: Master of Flight

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I guess I'll be the one to kick off the revival of the General Art forum :P

To celebrate the return of BZPower's forums and show my appreciation for the man at the helm, I've decided to draw something!

Thanks Andrew, for keeping Hapori's ol' gears turning all these years. I would've never expected BZP to still be running after all this time, hats off to you and the rest of the staff for keeping things going for so long! :)

 

(Credit goes to Schizo Kaita for several elements of B6's design, namingly the head, hands, and color palette. Unfortunately I couldn't find the full picture B6 got his avvie from, so I worked with what I had :P)

Full Resolution of the Image can be found Here.

@Valendale Thank you! Yeah, that's the idea I was going for. I'm glad it came across well :)

@Taka Nuvia Thanks! I based it off the glowy blue energy around his fist in his Avatar. And good eye noticing the moving gears! I was worried that they didn't really come off as such :P

 

Many thanks to you guys, and all the kind words on the BZP discord! I really appreciate it! :D

Beautiful picture, and very interesting subject matter too. I don't think I've ever seen someone draw Tohu, and this imagining is amazing.

@Master Inika Thanks man! I appreciate that :D I vaguely recall their being a BBC contest many years ago where folks had to MOC Tohu, not sure if there was one for drawing him, though. I mainly pulled colors and elements from the top of BZP's home page for inspiration :)
