Lenny7092 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi, guys. Someone did a wall painting of a Bionicle character called a Pahrak in Amiens, France long ago! I always knew that Bionicle is worth something when it’s popular! 6 Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think graffiti can be classified as someones property. But it's a really neat 3d effect.

Lenny7092 Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Sorry, guys. I tried to report to BZPower about it, but it didn’t get to the News Feed. Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorentz Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Lmao what are you talking about? Lenny never claimed to make this art; he explicitly said "Someone did a painting of..." This doesn't break any rules. 2 Quote #makeBionicleG1andHeroFactorysharethesameuniverse and #giveBionicleansHeroFactorytheirownliveactioncinematicuniverse GENERATION 5: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation.

This doesn't break any rules. i once read a topic called "holy karzahni" or something. that topic was showing off a karzahni sculpture, but the person who started the topic said: "look what i found this guy made a karzahni statue". it wasn't his. and it was closed as according to BZpower rules. now this is in bionicle discussion, whereas "Holy karzhahni" was in general art, so maybe this specific topic is okay, but i'm not sure.

Not a case of him claiming it as his own, but posting other people's art IS against the General Art rules (which is where something like this should normally be posted by the creator themselves).

Hau1 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I think the rules are fairly clear, but (speaking strictly as a n00b and a non-Mod) in Lenny's defence, this is kind of a different situation (and I apologise if this tangential post is too off-topic--I clearly think/hope not, but I don't have the institutional memory to know). Street art ("graffiti"), while is art is generally anonymous, for reasons that I think should be obvious. In the case of something explicitly anonymous, is it fair to apply the normal "only the creator may post" rule? For things that are corporate--like a larger-than-life Toa Nuva at Legoland, it's anonymous in the sense that a specific creator may not be identified, but because it fits into the neat category of official-from-TLG Bionicle, it has a place here. I also wonder if the days of "only the creator may post art" are somewhat conditioned by what the Internet was in the 2000s. Nowadays, when the overall online community of almost any fandom is diffused over multiple media, BZP is sort of insisting that something in counting as Bionicle Art may only be posted if the creator is a member. In 2005, that was probably extremely likely. 16 years later, there are Bionicle fans who are actively chiefly on Tumblr or Twitter or Instagram or Flickr or whatnot, but the only way their work can be shared with the fans on BZP is if something happens to get a news story and its attendant article. I'm not sure there's an ideal solution--I don't think it's false to say that BZP would LIKE to have all Bionicle content flow through the forum, and I think it's fair to want to preserve a clear distinction of ownership. Perhaps, like the Buy/Sell forum has a dedicated "Look at the eBay listing I found" thread, a dedicated "cool art I found elsewhere" thread--with a requirement for "I found it HERE and it was credited there are THIS USERNAME/PERSON'S" format.

Lenny7092 Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Guys, I was trying to report the painting to BZPower, but BZPower never made an article about it. That’s why I made this topic. Plus, I don’t know who made this painting, anyway. Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucia Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I have to say that whoever the artist is is super skilled, nice colour, well shaded and great depth. Quote Back from the darkness (will update soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Inika Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 That's a beautiful piece of art, and I wish I could focus more on the art itself and less on the circumstances. About the rule: I'm also not a mod, but I highly suspect there could/should be an exception for anonymous pieces. 1 Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times.
