Description I almost didn't want to submit this, it's more practice than anything... But here's another practice Rahkshi.  Sohnii this time.

I'd like to say that the upright position is entirely intentional.  I have tried many, many times to draw the typical hunched over Rahkshi... but I like the anatomy of my characters to flow and feel natural.  That's the way I've always drawn things.  I have a simpler, more rounded style than most and honestly, moving away from that is just too difficult for me.  So, in case anyone's wondering, that's why.  :3

Of course, several things still need to be improved, particularly the torso and the head, most likely.  But I have a lot of things planned for Sohnii, and he has two alternate versions: his main character is a Lerahk, but in Corpus Rahkshi he's a Rahkshi of Chain Lightning.  But in both cases, his brother, Blink, is an essential part of his life and working with Shadoww on that has been phenomenal <3

He might even get his own fanfiction, if I'm ever brave enough.  I tend to get really self conscious when it comes to Bionicle, largely because I really want to be a part of the community, but I've gotten backlash several times for certain ideas (such as when I drew Gali as a snow leopard - for fun.)  So it'll take time to build up enough confidence.  But, I'm getting there... people on dA have been really supportive and it's been great.

backlash... oh wow... yeah. some parts of the Bionicle community are pretty hostile. especially those parts, where so-called critics of the community are in, who just LOVE to piss people off and then pretend that they are in the right, just because others are angry.

ironically, they rarely accept any criticism, even if they claim that they do accept it.

but there are also others who force their head-canons on everybody else.


but i sorta learned to stand above that and just do what i love to do, because it's fun!

Yeaaaaah, I've certainly seen that side of it.  I still think there are worse fandoms, though.  I've met plenty of reasonable fans in the Bionicle community, you being one of them.  ^^

In the end you just go with the common logic that, we're on the internet, no use arguing about stupid things right?

Probably what I get the most feedback on is my art style.  I tend to lean more towards the Miramax style and even then my art is super-simplified.  A lot of people I've met want art to resemble the sets and as much as I'd like to do that, every time I tried I got too frustrated.  So I'm kinda going my own path I guess, but I'm not the only one who does.  Every artist needs to find their own style, regardless of what other people think.
And if you're going to draw fanart, you can draw whatever you like xD

well, as for my style, i tend to be a mix of set-accuracy and drawing them organic. though, i tend to draw Agori and Glatorian the most organic.

though the Skakdi are more organic in my style.

Thank you ^w^

Yeah, I try not to, lol... For the most part I've gotten good feedback, especially recently.  In particular I appreciate all the nice comments you and Yudron leave for me <3

It is, yeah.  It's been really great to have someone to talk to.  I did manage to drag a friend of mine into the fandom, but for the most part I'm on my own, so having someone to interact with has just been great <3

I tried getting a couple of my friends into the fandom, but that didn't last long. Back in middle school when I first got into the fandom I would exchange notes written in matoran with one. That was fun.

Haha, I figured as much xD I believe Xray has a PMD2/Halo fanfic, but I've never played the game so I wouldn't know, haha
