Ghosthands Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Ok, guys, the fixed Turaga kit is up. Today I realised I left a shade uncorrected on the Tohunga, but I've now fixed that and will soon be uploading the updated version.Just a quick question - what would you like me to make first once the Toa kit is done? Move on to 2003 Matoran and Nuva, or make accessories (weapons, items etc)?Weapons, expanded Kanohi, etcetera would be best IMO.BTW, Tamaru's body was teal, not green.Looks green to me. He was sky blue in MNOG, and teal in MNOG 2. The above may be teal, but it's near enough to green as makes little difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, all the pictures of him have such different shades that it's almost pointless to try to use exactly the right colour. I might change it at some point, but it's not a priority to me.Thanks for pointing it out, anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a goose Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Tamaru's colour variations were all due to the low-quality imaging we thought was amazing in 2001.I can still remember how shocked I was by the 'excellent' 3D in LEGO Island. :PAh, how the world has changed. Right now, I am posting this from a device that a few years ago would not have been considered possible. Think about it, a few years ago, would you have thought touch-screens and glasses-less 3D would be possible in less than a decade?And I'm straying off-topic... As usual.

In fact, because I'll hopefully have a good number of parts done by then, it may even take less time than making a canon character with new parts.

Taipu1 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Well this is the closest I'm probably going to get to seeing the old MNOLG style character creation kit again, all be it smaller.The banner is good, that's how I got here, I wouldn't normally be in kits.as a first kit (or at least first to be posted) it's pretty spectacular. I can tell you were very much MNOLG inspired, certainly that picture of Tahu is pure MNOLG. I like the style you''ve done the masks, lots of attention to detail, providing the Kaukau with a both clear and opaque visor. My favourite mask is the noble Huna, it reminds of the ones from the movies, not the overly long one with the huge eyebrows that Vakama wore, but the better proportioned ones worn by Macku and background characters.This is the first topic I've followed that hasn't been one of my own, I hope to see a lot more.

a goose Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 It's a Haukau XDYeah. I made a Rayg one too, but this one looks far better. Probably 'cause it's bigger. (PS, I put a Rayg sprite beside a DSS sprite. It made poor Pirok look like a clockwork toy! And I fixed your banner, I'll try and remember to upload the fixed version to Brickshelf. Also, the Rayg 'Haukau' appeared in my most recent comic.

JiMing Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 You've got a hard and difficult task ahead of you. The sprites are well done, but I'm wondering how you can turn them into lifelike and expressive poses. Quote Haven't seen one of these in a long time...

davidvkimball Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 On 10/17/2011 at 3:35 AM, Ghosthands said: I've never posted a kit before, but I was working on this over the downtime and I thought some of you guys might like it.Now, having looked at quite a few Bionicle sprite kits, I've noticed that they seem to fall into two categories: [*]Look slick and lifelike, but aren't very faithful to the sets[*]Very set-accurate, but poses look awkward and stiff. What I have tried to do is make a kit that combines the good features of both, while avoiding the bad features of neither. You will have to be the judges of whether I have succeeded.I have based a lot of the design on that of Templar Studios' MNOG characters.News [*]17/10/11: Topic created.[*]23/10/11: Tohunga Kit, Turaga Kit, Kanohi, and banner added.[*]29/10/11: Colour palette added.[*]30/10/11: Tohunga kit's colours fixed.[*]02/11/11: Turaga kit's colours fixed The KitsKanohi:Matoran (Tohunga):Turaga:Toa (Mata):Coming soonThe CharactersThese are the canon characters I have completed so far:Tahu: the only Toa Mata whose build is finished.Turaga:Matoran: Tohunga buildThe ColoursDSS uses the same nine-shade colour system as the MNOG-Style Character Creation kit. I have made my own modified colour set, as the colour charts used in the MSCC are very big and inconvenient when working with small sprites. I have also changed several colour names, incorporated other colours not used in the original MNOLG-SCCK and will be adding more colours at a later date.And, yes, I did say 9-bit. I know, this can make recolouring a bit of a pain, but I chose to do this because it allows for a greater depth of detail, texture and shading, and hopefully a more lifelike sprite.BannersChronicler's Company:RequestsIf you would like a custom Kanohi, weapon, tool, or any custom object not included in the kit, PM me or leave a comment here and I'll see what I can do.Also, if you'd like a character made for you and find the kit too hard to use, I'll try to help with that too.One last thing...I have spent quite a bit of time and effort making this, so I'd appreciate it if you would please do the following: [*]Please do not post any part of this kit claiming it as your own work. Please either give credit as DSS, or Ghosthands.[*]I am more than happy for people to use this kit, but I would ask that if you do, please inform me - just because I'd like to see what you're making![*]If you make custom parts such as Kanohi or weapons for DSS, feel free to send them to me so I can make them available to others. I understand this is a very old thread, but I'm wondering what the progress is like on this. The sprite work is very impressive pixel art.

Ghosthands Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi there @davidvkimball, and thanks! As you say, this is an ancient piece of work (oh god, ten years...) and I've long since moved on to other things. I doubt I'll ever come back and finish the kits I'd started, let alone "complete" the project; to actually make these sprites usable would require a lot of work on different posing options, which is something I just don't think I'd have the time or patience for. That said, whenever I look back at these sprites I'm still fond of them, and I still adore the MNOG aesthetic that inspired them, so never say never. What you see here is (almost) everything I made back in the day. Going through my old files, I can see that I'd been working on a Toa Mata kit, but never finished it. I did make Lewa, though: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
