The 1st Shadow Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Those are pretty cool! The Mata Nui one looks a little thick towards the bottom, but it still turned out well. Nice job!

Taipu1 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Voya Nui looks great, as does the Northern half of Mata-Nui. The South half, as 1st Shadow said is a little wide, and perhaps the tip is a little far east as well. Interesting choice of artistic medium though, particularly for Bionicle.

FrozenFlash Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) The Mata-Nui one is a bit too thick but the top is nicely done. The Voya-Nui one is really good especially the 2 points at the top. I like the volcano spot in the middle too. Great job on both of these!

Taka Nuvia Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 ... that's an awesme and unique medium you used there, Dwanny. Looks really great, too!But yeah, as the others pointed out already, Voya Nui appears to be more accurate. Both looks cool, though, and the sole idea of it... respect, i'd never have thought of anything like that. I hope you'll overcome that art block, soon... :3 Quote My art collection topic - updated!

Hidron Nuva Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) So this is what you were talking about ^_^I would never have thought of something like this, it's very original and interesting indeed! Love the "Dramatic side view" xDHow did you come up with this idea? What did you use for carving the apple?

iPenguin Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) The voya-nui one was really awesome. It looks awesome.However, the mata-nui one is very meh. I couldn't tell if it were mata-nui if you didn't state that it was mata-nui.Nice medium though. Very original.

Obsessionist Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Well done! Mata Nui lacks a lot of the little inlets and such that really made it recognizable for me, but that's just the medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 This is the most imaginative artistic medium I've seen on these forums in a long time. You did a very good job carving the likeness of Voya Nui. Mata Nui is also nice, but a little bit misshapen so that it loses its face-shaped west coast.On a side note, when I entered this topic I was expecting the inverse of what you created-- that is to say, I expected the negative space where you carved away part of the peel to be what formed the shape of the islands, rather than the positive space where you left parts of the peel. I'll admit the former would probably be infuriating when you reached those tiny capes and peninsulas, not to mention bays and rivers, but I think the overall look would be more impressive. But maybe that's just me. Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
