Brickthing Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Price isn't a huge factor for me when judging sets. Unless it's way overpriced. But that doesn't happen. Vultraz would've made a good canister-price set, not the titan price it was.
Zip Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Maybe I'm being silly applying human standards of a feminine body to Matoran, and maybe BIONICLE IS targeted towards the likes of Little Jimmy and his treehouse LEGO club (No Girls Allowed!), and maybe her role in the story is as a little servant to an evil Makuta jerk, but Little Jimmy can go to Swirlies-and-Wedgies hell, and little minions to evil guys are supposed to be cute (it's kinda a rule), and there is only so far my imagination can go with fictional species... ROFL. I never really cared for the Av-Matoran. Agori, kinda, but I'm never gonna buy large batches of them.
---Vertea--- Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 A Little late, but here you guys go: I think I'll do color later tonight if I have time. It's not entirely finished, as I still have to title it and add background( prolly in Photoshop), but I like it so far. And Antrozek, that Vastus is AMAZING.
The Alchemyst Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Both of you definitely need to enter the Surel and Certavus contests. <3 both, Antrozek has style while Vertea's has a clean-cut set-like lines. Don't know what's going on with your background though, V. :P Looks like he's on clouds. XD Anyway, what I think about the small sets: MahriToran > MoLToran > Av-Matoran/Agori> Turaga > MetruToran> McToran > Va I've only had Dekar, a bunch of McToran and Va, Turaga Onewa, Dume and Metus, and Hafu meaning I have no basis for the Hydruka, Rahaga, Voyatoran [and to some extent Metrutoran or Av-toran], so I took those out. Mahritoran were amazing. Colors, articulation, posability and not to mention recolored masks <3. Only things that could make them better are all limbs as Bohrok Limbs [o some way to get wrist articulation] and the new cut eyes. The back was bare, but I didn't mind too much; it wasn't that bad. McToran are cute, but to me are nothing more than little statues: They don't move. ._. Turaga and Va I never really liked. Va had the annoying Krana holsters that never held. >_< MoLToran had articulation, and a neat weapon, but the articulation for the legs were wonky and they fell easily. Metrutoran had Articulation, and masks and cool launchers. Backs were ugly and heads were annoying. Metus look really funny, with his bent limbs. D: Av-Toran were probably better in terms of masks [Kanohi>Helms for meee], but the Agori have delicious weapons. [-The Alchemyst-] Edited May 12, 2009 by The Alchemyst
Toa of Whimsy Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I disagree, Gavla is not ugly. look at her mask again and notice her fangstache and :o expression. It might change your mind.
~Wrack'n'Ruin~ Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I noticed it and I do not think it is ugly. She's just vicious.
Toa of Whimsy Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I noticed it and I do not think it is ugly.She's just vicious. Well, I don't like her design, and either she should've been made a he or given a build like Solek's. That might have been a little better IMO.
Phantoka_Chirox Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Hey Vertea! your gelu looks like Jeremy Braezel's (<<< IDK about the spelling) style! It's awesome and cartoonish!
---Vertea--- Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Hey Vertea! your gelu looks like Jeremy Braezel's (<<< IDK about the spelling) style! It's awesome and cartoonish! I'm terrible with names- I'm guessing he's a comic artist? I'm guessing I should know this one?
Tyranide Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I'm terrible with names- I'm guessing he's a comic artist?I'm guessing I should know this one? He's... the human who draws Level 3 Reader books. It's kinda a curse, I think)
---Vertea--- Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 He's... the human who draws Level 3 Reader books. It's kinda a curse, I think) Ah... ..... ... oh. Well, I can see the 'kiddish' exaggeration in this pic, though I really don't like it... Maybe coloring it will help... Darn. That's not the kind of artist I was hoping to resemble. ... Try try again!
Antrozek Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 A Little late, but here you guys go: I think I'll do color later tonight if I have time.

Toa of Whimsy Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) ITT I wanna see the same concept behind "Moemon" applied to Malum and Zesk. For those who don't know what Moemon is: http://www4.atwiki.jp/hitec/ It's pokemon but with each of the pokemons turned into (mostly) cute little girls who look similar to them. Or someone can just draw a lolicon-ised Zesk. Because a cat is fine too. Edited May 12, 2009 by Toa of Whimsy
The Alchemyst Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I don't think Vertea's Gelu looks like the reader guy's at all, it's a lot cleaner, and less stylized. Looks more like clean cut Mhan. [-The Alchemyst-]
Toa Rodimus Ignika Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I feel badly indiminated by both Vertea and Antrozek... My drawings are terrible compared to theirs... And once I find my Devastator drawing, I can prove it.
---Vertea--- Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I feel badly indiminated by both Vertea and Antrozek... My drawings are terrible compared to theirs... And once I find my Devastator drawing, I can prove it. But I wanna see your Devastator! Movie style, right? Show us!!!!!
Toa Rodimus Ignika Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 But I wanna see your Devastator! Movie style, right?Show us!!!!! I will, need to find it. And it is Movie. Just promise that you cut him some slack. It's only in pencil.
---Vertea--- Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 GODAMN EPIC EEEE! I got a compliment from ANTROZEK?!?!?!? If I could gush, I would. Thanks, man-I feel all cool now.
Phantoka_Chirox Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 He's... the human who draws Level 3 Reader books.

Brickthing Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 ....Will somebody please commit some kind of mass murder so this terrible idea can be washed from my mind. Very true. Zesk don't lol, they eat people.
