#kopaka bionicle

[nerdsinc]

my friend @xonxt made me watch this cool series called reviving bionicle!! obviously i got hooked on it and had to do some art... so heres kopaka! i tried to simplify/stylize the design so i could draw him easily and so it wasn't just normal bionicle fanart, so sorry its not completely correct to how he actually looks :P

(as always, PLEASE reblog so my art gets circulated!! it would be very, VERY appreciated! thank you, ily!!)

Wasn't planning on sharing this test I did with the rig but it turned out pretty cool (animation is pretty rough) Still, thought I'd share

Kopaka, Toa of Ice

The Toa Mata

Have I managed to finish this for Bionicle Day? Of course not because life sucks and I had very little time, as I was helping organize Bionicle Day in my country plus some other stuff got in the way.

So here at least WIP. I will finish it this month hopefully. I hope to have more fanarts until next year. Happy Bionicle Day!

It took me 23 years to realize it, but Kopaka is the best Toa.

Going down the "how the hell am I supposed to stylize these guys" rabbit hole again

810NICLE DAY

It's bionicle day, so here's some of the toa I drew as part of a commisioned set sometime last year. Looking back at when I was making these, I had thought that it was when I was stll refining the biomechanical elements of my style, but I've also found things from that time that were further down the line in detail. I still need to get to Onua and Pohatu, but haven't quite had the time to just sit down and draw a bunch of pieces for a little while - plus I feel nervous about if whether I'd manage to capture them in a comparable amount of detail haha, don't want any of them to stand out in an unusual way

[randomwriteronline]

pohatus very important observations on who is available for body heat sharing via snuggling, cuddling et al

Lewa: yes, serial snuggler

Gali: yes, appreaciates it

Onua: yes, great hugs

Tahu: yes but you have to goad him into it, es. "will you man up and cuddle w me". the warmth is worth the annoyance

Kopaka: the flesh would be willing but the soul is so complicated about it. lay down back to back with him and pretend to sleep to make him slowly turn around and snuggle. WILL wake up early to destroy the evidence. the chill is worth the annoyance

Turaga Metru: only yield to 2-second-long cuddles if exhausted. if you pile all six on one another they will automatically snuggle together though

Toa Hagah: only with each other and still very professionally

Turaga Dume: no (the warmth is NOT worth it)

Takanuva: yes, serial snuggler no. 2

Jaller: yes but you have to sort of casually brute force him into it. will fall asleep five seconds into snuggle

Hahli: yes but a bit shy

Hewkii: yes, loves a hearty cuddle

Kongu: no (very formal)

Nuparu: no (very awkward)

Matoro: the soul appreciates the thought but the flesh needs space. if you tell him youre available for snuggles he will keep it in mind and come to you when hes in need. very pleasant chill

Hafu: yes, especially if youre warm

Tamaru: yes, curls up nicely on your chest

Taipu: yes, splays himself like a corpse

Macku: yes but prefers Hewkii. fair

Kapura: yes. hes a perfectly still hot water bottle. delightful.

Kopeke: no (leave him be)

Krahka: yes, surprisingly

Pewku: yes and its good for your mental health

Jaller's crab: no (rocket launcher)

ULTIMATE IGNIKA

[tiredspacedragon]

Kra

Anyone have any idea what was up with all the "Kra" names in 2004? Like seriously, all the Toa Mata's names get remixed with Kra at the beginning, is that supposed to mean something?

Like seriously

Tahu > Kraahu

Gali > Kralhi

Pohatu > Kraatu

Kopaka > Krahka

Lewa > Kraawa

Onua > Kranua

What is happening here. Both Toa Metru combiners, both Vahki combiners, a dinky little polybag set I'm not sure was actually released, and the 6-Toa combiner model Rahi all share this bizarre pattern. Is this supposed to mean something? It feels important, but it's not like anything comes of this, as far as I know. And like okay, some of these are kind of a stretch, but it's weird this pattern can be made at all, right? And even without it, that's still a lot of Kra names! But why?

And it doesn't even stop there, because look what happened in 2005!

Takua > Krakua

(Honestly I'm mostly just confused about why I didn't notice this earlier)
