Description
I love Mata Nui. The Island that is. So I gave it some hot hot love.Ta-koro is supposed to be inside a volcano with the opening at the top, but in the MNOG there are a lot of magma-filled caverns behind the village, which interestingly sort of twitch that idea.

I didn't notice that before, but I thought the Ta-Koro in the movie still looked cool. That whole magma bridge is one of my favorite parts of Koro.

Dude, what brushes are you using? Those strokes are so beautiful.

About 99.7 % chalk-brush, 0.2 % soft-brush and 0.1 % cloud-brush. The chalk brush is a standard photoshop brush and I use it with with a dual-brush enabled which gives it texture. This makes it a good allround brush. you can download the specific brush preset from

Awesome, thank you so much for this! I've been experimenting around with the chalk brush a little, and it's great so far. Thanks, dude!

lulz. seriously though. It looks something you'd find in the pits of Hell

Heh, I know. Though, I really like how Ta-koro uses the mediaval styles to make it look more like a neutral fortified stronghold rather than a omg-this-is-obviously-the-evil-hell-city

Wow, this is simply amazing ! And I loved the little Tohunga on the right
Are the yellow dots by the bridge supposed to be Homes outside the fortress ?

You're welcome
My favorite part is the bridge rising from the lava. The magma falling off of the rocks feels so fluid and natural. This is a piece I wish I could have done xP Bravo, my friend.Β

Haha awesome. I seem, from the comments, to hit all my impression-goals I set while I made this one.. If you haven't seen, I made a longer step-by-step for this one. I consciously saved at certain marks in the process this time in order to make it.

Actually ta-koro was never situated inside the volcano, but rather the main offshoot of magma flow. This is a common missconception. Kini-nui was closer to the volcano than any of the villages. However this is a brilliant piece of work and really captures the mystery and atmosphere of the Island at the time.

Hahaha. I just knew I would get some lore wrong, even if I did just one sentence of it xD. I even went to the wiki (in attempt) to make sure I didn't get anything wrong. I found the name of the magma-pool but apparently there wasn't much info about the wahi so I thought I was safe. Bummer. xD Oh well. As I said, some elements are evidence for Ta-koro not being in a volcano afterall, and I also never said Ta-koro was in a volcano in my piece!
