Studs Not On Top

Thanks! Thank you! I was actually thinking of your MOCs when getting the shapes right. The legs and feet definitely need some work.

I'm glad you guys like it. Maybe the Mahiki works a little too well! I see what you mean about the faces, it's hard when you identify those parts as masks in the first place. I'll see what I can do about it. I got a request from another thread for pictures of the body construction, so there are a few LDD screenshots here: https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/

Thank you! I want to make Furno and one of the 1.0 villains in this scale, but I'm running out of parts.

I think Hero Factory reached its peak in 2012 with "Breakout". We got some of the coolest and most cohesive designs for heroes and villains. It seemed like TLG went all out on the weapons, gadgets, and armor. I wanted to stick to that style when creating a Breez better suited for street-level bagging and tagging. Rocka was a big influence for her gear. I've also been trying to get more accurate proportions with good articulation. Most of Breez's ball joints work well, but I need to fix some areas. You can find more (and higher quality) pictures here: https://www.flickr.c...th/25889770395/ Thanks for looking!

I hope we get a completely new Toa team down the line. I'd like to see old faces again, but I don't want the story to get too predictable by following characters we already know about. If it's not a reboot, LEGO can use whoever they want! And that's a great idea, Kalhiki.

Thank you! That's really what I was going for. Next up is a Stormer sketch: http://ericgroff.deviantart.com/#/d5ixybe

You made me think about why we haven't gotten any new heroes lately-- LEGO wants to hold onto the ones they have, and give us one of each hero for the whole year. Though, if they returned to teams of six, we could get three new heroes!

Hi all! I'm trying to get back to the EuroBricks community, so here's a thread to post all of my Hero Factory and Bionicle artwork in. You might remember "Natalie" from a while back: http://ericgroff.dev...set=24#/d59fowm Here is more of her that I did today: http://ericgroff.dev...llery/#/d5irm5x I'll be doing a lot of sketches like the one above to improve my own style. Maybe a comic or two! C&C always appreciated :) UPDATES: Stormer: http://ericgroff.deviantart.com/#/d5ixybe

I'm pretty excited for this line. The animal theme was a great idea on LEGO's part, I can tell that kids will like it. Looks like each faction has an even army, though I would've liked a set with more balanced vehicles. So from the pictures, I think Speedorz is a battler similar to Ninjago, but with motorized rip-cord vehicles? I'm glad that more comes to a booster pack in this series than Ninjago. I'll pick up a couple of them. I agree, Jargo, give us monkeys!

Thanks!

Consistent except for one thing: what happened to Smart Bulk of Savage Planet? I'm really happy about the new descriptions, though. I find it a little creepy that Stormer's sword chews through its target, even villains!

Thank you, that part was my favorite. One thing I miss about the 1.0 system was all the detail!

Thanks, Aanchir! I'm not sure about the background, I feel like there could've been more to it. The 2.0 system resembles the modern depiction of robots in my mind, and I think it works so well with these figures. Me, too. It felt both odd and refreshing when Bionicle movies transitioned to toy-like appearance and set the stage for the HF movies. I don't know which style I prefer, but both of them influence my artwork. It looks great! You fixed her proportions, and that's what makes the set design convincing. It's hard to pose these guys without deciding what they really are. A robot can have no restrictions in movement, while a human obviously does. I really like your style, though! It's the set accuracy that brings forth a lot of nostalgia; in ten years, that's the art people will remember! Thanks again, and the same to you!

My ears! I... I don't know what to say. Um, thank you very much, and you're lucky there aren't any more female HF characters. :P Filthy Kreon.... Thanks a lot, Vinyl! I used to outline everything, but now I'm trying to work with light and shadow. It's a tedious process!

Nice work! It's a solid build, though from the side it looks like its stomach is missing. Is the jaw articulated?
