My Daily Bionicle Art

[Master Inika]

These were amazing! My faves since last time have been the Vastus plushie, the two cats, and of course crab. That grand plushie gathering was epic too. You have such a diverse style, it feels like there is no vibe, serious or silly, that you cannot capture.

[Stroxx]

I teally like the landscape in your latest post. There is something about lavender skies and floaty islands that I just can't get bored of.

[Valendale]

The Inika and Hero Factory plushies are super cute. It was fun to see the plushies expand and take over the thread, culminating in the day 300 post.

The chroniclers' company looks super cool.

It's great how artwork can let us explore designs for that wouldn't be possible with physical pieces, like with your Dume's team. I liked these.

The batch with the Kraata and Kralhi was particularly good.

Many other nice pieces throughout the thread too.

Thank you! Yeah I try to keep my range wide, experimenting whenever I can.

Purple's an awesome colour. It's a fact

Mostly it's because I can't be bothered by the details lol, though it does help with being able to use the art as a more general example, without the Bionicle context.

Alright, the quest continues;

'twas a request over at the parallel TTV thread, Gelhennan. (For clarity, Toa of Water, he/him)

Ok finally delivering on character design and it's. eh.
I took a bad guy from one of my old retired game projects and redesigned him to be more interesting. I went with a sorta incompetent but dangerous type, which hopefully came through.

Another Rebel Nature entry, it's a Storm Demon. I love how this thing looks as a MOC, so I picked to draw it based off vibes.

You're gonna be seeing a lot of Lyrestruck in the near future. Stuff's getting good. Here I drew Irina observing her ****** box instrument, which is a placeholder instrument at the start of the game.

Benny!!!
Another Rebel Nature thing. Love 'im.

Irina plushie. Want.

And finally, a 'No, I will not stop'. It's ya boy, Ahkmou again.

I will end this batch with a reminder that I am still open for both requests and commissions. Enjoy.

[Master Inika]

That human thing looks horrifying. It's like a BIONICLE character wearing someone's skin.

I love the Rebel Nature stuff. I never really figured out what RN exactly is, so getting new artwork of it feels like seeing new BIONICLE pictures for the first time again, which is a nice feeling.

That Ahkmou is pretty epic. He's definitely a face you can trust.

The thing on his face is meant to be like a bruise as part of a disease, though the robot wearing skin is also an apt concept.

 

A quick drawing. Speaks for itself really.

More Lyrestruck, this time featuring Estera, the sword-wielding powerhouse.

Here lies another series idea that went nowhere, featuring Preston Stormer with a bit of a redesign. Design's cool but meh

Looking through my phone I found an old MOC, so I decided to draw that, experimenting a bit with the style idea I started with Ahkmou.

Here's von Ness again, with the same style experiment. Captured his essence a bit better this time.

Same here with Stormer.

Here's a cute one, a group of marching percussion-based robots.

I will end this batch too with a reminder that I am still open for both requests and commissions. Enjoy.

[Master Inika]

The 2nd Stormer one is nice, very Gundam-esque.

The living instruments may not be the best one from a purely technical standpoint, but looking at it makes me the happiest.

[new post by BBLIR]

Starting off with a simple one. eepy boy

Here I wanted to make a quick one, with a face, but that didn't really turn out as the simple motif I expected. Fun colours though.

It it. This one was actually a simple one. It helps to make the thing you wanna draw often simple. Don't ask me about the 3rd dimension.

I wanted like a crazy perspective, fish eye effect, but meh. Needs a revisit.

I don't draw enough Mega Man. Here's a Yellow Devil.

Now this one's a banger. Another Rebel Nature thing, with attitude.

Time to build up the ol' buffer again, expect some more Bonkles.

[/new post by BBLIR]

[Master Inika]

I like them. Your humans remind me of Tim Burton.

[BBLIR]

Hi I forgot

Wasn't really feeling it that day. Though I was amused that the diminished form of Kalama only appears when zapped.

I find the matorans messed up by Karzahni interesting though they need more time than I can give them. Here's Balta,

here's Kazi (looking kinda ok but the composition's bad),

and Dalu.

For something more aesthetically pleasing, here's Ahkmou sinking.

I drew this OC a while back, an old self-MOC of mine (I named him Albus.. I'm not the best at names). Still haven't done him justice.. I love archery.....

And finally, a basic scene I saw IRL. The drawing itself is bland.

See you next week! Hopefully! I'm out of buffer and need to spam some drawings so I have smth to post.

[Master Inika]

Nice batch. My favorite from this group were Kalama, Balta, and the bug on the leaf.

[Valendale]

Like the voyatoran. Is the OC for something in particular? I'm getting a Knight's Kingdom II vibe.

nah I just built him at one point for fun with no real goal.

Oh I missed the "self MOC" description somehow.

[BBLIR]

A better batch this time

More Rebel Nature, the ECO-Unit. Dunno if I represented its story right but it looks cool so it's fine.

Back to Lyrestruck baybee. Kind of a redraw of day 57 (Irina falling), with the new story beats after restructuring.

I ran out of buffer, it's plushie time again! Good ol' Terry.

And for some variety, here's a ladybug.

This is Roodaka, if you can believe it.

MIKU

I was gonna just draw the Nuva cube but I couldn't be bothered with proportions so I made it soft.

Regular reminder that I'm open for requests and commissions.

[Master Inika]

Nice batch. I like your take on Rebel Nature (it's been like 10 years now and I still don't really get what RN is supposed to actually be).

Roodaka and Hatsuke Miku are both very cute. I wonder if Sidorak slept with that Roodaka plush.

The Nuva Cube would make an awesome full-size plush pillow.

DON'T MAKE ME WANNIT

 

It is once again time.

Idk why Krika always ends up being the subject of awesome art. I guess he has an aura of awesomeness.

This on the other hand, meh. Spectral mask.

Tried this trick again with painting in negative, not quite the same success as last time with Velika.

Here's a Kestora. Not the strongest but it came out alright.

I was considering doing MerMay. Didn't wanna deal with figuring out what and how to draw every day. So here's one-off mermaid for the vibe.

Rebel Nature thing again, this one I hope I did justice. The original is a programmer art sketch with lore.

And to finish off, here's Bitil.

Got to day 350! I gotta start thinking about what to do for day 400... Those plushies got me some big shoes to fill.

[BBLIR]

It is time once more (I'm running out of openers again)

Is Metall. From Mega Man. Enjoy

Is Mega Man. From Mega Man. Enjoy

Is Stronius. From- actually not Mega Man. Chonker

This combiner model is so dang cute (Hapaka).

Want.

I wanted to do smth with the Red Star but couldn't be bothered.

Is Ice Met. From Mega Met. Enjoy.

Is end of post. Enjoy!

[BBLIR]

more... new... but not more new intro...

And we start off with a quite generic protagonist, meant to be the hero to the villain from a few posts back. This is what happens when a character doesn't get their due process.

MEGA MAN PLUSHIE

O R B
I was dry on ideas and tried making a plushie of a Bohrok in a ball.

As an experiment, I tried 'regular' Krika to see if it'd do numbers. It didn't

Chimken
Using the strategy from the first few drawings of this centdrawe (100 drawings) I found a photo of some chickens in a nice composition. So I drew that.

I toyed around with some cool mechanical wings (similarly to the Toa Vahi from way back) and I think it's got vibes.

As you may have noticed, I've come to the point where I gotta do plushies again. This is the start of a new batch.

See you next week with more new.

[That Matoran with a Vahi]

Ooh, I love how ominous that silhouetted Krika looks a couple of posts up! The colouring on the background behind him really emphasises it, too; all around a fantastic picture! I really like your take on Bitil in the same post, too; the blend of Bionicle details with bug features make him look really cool there

I am once again coming with more art

Plushie time again. Here's a cat loaf bean. :3

Continuing with non-Bionicle plushies, here's a Yellow Devil (Mega Man) plushie. Got chomped.

Revisiting an old classic. Nupie

Dark Hunter Nidhiki would've probably been more recognizable, but I went with (my take on) the Toa form instead.

On a bus trip home I was doodlin' and got a bird character. So I drew 'im. birb.
I'll use the context of the bus trip to note smth. In the case I get a job or study (or whatever that'll take a bunch of time), I'll likely stop the challenge (perhaps finishing the 100), at which point if I have time I'll switch to fewer pieces with more dedicated time.

Anyway, here's Pridak. Redesign of day 112, trying to make him more interesting while creating the vibe I wanted. So I took inspiration from baroque fashion (assuming I googled it right). High class individual with severe anger issues.

Had a driving-related course recently, inspired to make a pie-BRAKE!!!

Anyway, more next week as usual.

[BBLIR]

I, once again, forgor

Tamaru again, love 'im.

Exploring how that Krika did numbers, I tried a Nidhiki. Came out ok (tho I like the play of lines at the bottom)

Cracker

As an experiment I let the watercolours decide my landscape and let the piece make itself. Good result, you'll see more of this approach towards day 400. Almost easier to make than the plushies.

You know 'im, you love 'im. That failed Core Hunter experiment paid off here.

Iruini

Another landscape sketch, this time not as epic as the first attempt. Acrylics seem to be my strongest medium (but they take so much time...........).

I'm at a point where 400 is getting close, and I have an idea already, though it's not gonna be nearly as impressive as day 300.

[BBLIR]

hello. New batch

Nightmare fuel.

A redraw of an earlier piece. Came out better but still not good.

BALLOON
At this point, the landscape success rate seems to be alternating between good and bad. This one came out quite well.

This one's cool but compositionally mid.

Wanted to do a cartoony Krekka but it didn't really come out as I wanted. Does have the idiot aura though.

And now, a mid that mid so hard it bad.

This one's cool but mid in shaping and rendering.

You can tell these landscapes are easy to make.

[BBLIR]

Almost at 400!..

Prompted by a game of Bonkle. Ideas well going dry.

Greeeeeeen

Take 2 of cartoony Krekka. Chicken

Random scribbling-based landscape again, I like this one.

I had leftover mixed paint so I made another one.

Pomhat & Kemtar. Yes Ik it's not matching designs dont @ me

And finally a composition based on a photo from my phone. Cat unfortunately not included.

See you in 1 and 2 weeks I guess. Gettin' close

[BBLIR]

Hi

'Twas time for some more Mega Man. I seem to gravitate towards Crash Man.

I got inspired by The Riddle's music video. That kinda thing takes more time that I have oops.

Figured I'd make a Hordika plushie at some point.

Wanted to draw Good Guy, wasn't in the mood to draw Good Guy. Though guy good.

Can sb with a Biosector01 account go to Kamen's trivia section and change it so it doesn't claim it's spelled "kámən"? That's the pronunciation (kah-muhn), it's still spelled kamen. Thanks.

Anyway this is a highlight of this batch.

Zorro.

Vahki plushie. Now in Colour!

See you tomorrow! Day 400 is almost ready.

[BBLIR]

Spooder. Cerberus... Cerbider? Cerbeorak??

And finally, day 400! Decided to dedicate it to my upcoming fangame. Not gonna actually use it for promotion, the paper didn't cooperate and it ended up not as good as I'd want it, but it's neat.

Going on break again, giving some more time to irl stuff and mah games, I'll report when something decisive happens.
