Description
Starting a series of drawings. Simpler style, pretty much sketches of great Kanohi and their owners.These characters aren't actually exactly Bionicle G1, more of a combination of both generations. Can be seen best in just how huge Onua is.
If you like any of these masks and would like to use them as an avatar or something, just message me or leave a comment mentioning color scheme and I'll just recolor the mask (Without the Toa face, unless you want it too) for you!

You certainly made the Mistika and Phantoka masks more appealing!

Great, I was trying to do that

nice job! i think you did a good job of keeping them similar while still adding key features of each mask. Β keep up the good work! Β the scope as a prosthetic eye for Kopaka was an especially creative touch. Β it makes him seem sooooo much cooler!

Thanks!
I'm trying to keep up the standard with the second set, and I think I even raised it a bit, with improved shading.

I've noticed the Phantoka/Mystika influences at the end of each row.

That might be because every last mask is the Phantoka/Mistika one

Eh, personally I'm not a fan of how some of these masks turned out. The design choices just turned out too different for some of these that I don't recognize them as much anymore. I do love the detail though.

Nicely done.
I think I also see the evolution going:
First there's a maskless version. Then there's "Mata", or Version 1.0. Then "Nuva", or Version 2.0. Finally, "Phantoka", Version 3.0.

Thanks
Well, that's pretty much how it went in lore, so it would fit here too, hah

Indeed, I also love how they all came out, but personally for me, Gali and Kopaka came out the best.

Yeah, I personally love how Kopaka and Onua turned out. Kopaka just looks like after losing an eye he can't give a damn anymore.

Will you stop at those, or you will make somethig simmilar with Metru/Hordika, Inika/Mahri?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a series, I'll continue it. I think I might skip Hordika though.
Currently working on a Legends set. You can guess some of the masks and characters.

Omg I've probably already said this before, but the Bionicle look human is just plain genius!! Great job here!

I personally am not a huge fan of completely human Bionicles, but wanted to make something a bit more expressive than a metal plate, so I made these cyborg-looking guys
I actually changed the design halfway through making this piece. -Β i.imgur.com/1mrRjqp.png

Same here; completely human bionicle would completely destroy the purpose of their nameβbeing that their story is a chronicle of biomechanical people

Pretty awesome. Their faces looks very like a human face. I don't know why, but this made me remember the faces of Transformers.
Anyway, great job.Β Β Β

They might look very human because they are pretty much based on human anatomy, just mechanized, and lack proper skin
My idea for biomechs is that they have a metal skeleton, biological muscles, and a light armor working as a skin, made of small metal plates like on their foreheads and a rubber and kevlar like "skin", which doesn't cover their faces completely, uncovering some muscles on their cheeks and under their eyes. I have to redo my Biomech anatomy art, this time with notes explaining every part.
They might remind you of Transformers because they also had some anatomically accurate parts of their gray faces

Oh, thanks for the explanation

I like how your lineup showcases the similarities between the masks, altering the designs slightly and yet still leaving them all quite recognizable.

Hah, I tried my damn hardest to make the masks look like upgraded versions of their previous iterations, but keep the feel of the set design.
In some cases it was pretty much impossible, like with Onua's Pakari - It changed way too much.

The effort really shows-- I think you did a great job with it.
