It's still 810NICLE Day in my time zone!! I did this on stream tonight and I'm happy with how it came out!
Last year I did a Takua one and in between I did a Vakama one which I never posted. I'll put them below the readmore. The plan is to 3D print their masks and put them in shadowboxes with them!
Wishing a very happy 25th anniversary to Bionicle! I've been busy storyboaring and animating for The Mangai Project animated webseries, so here's some art and memes I've made in the interim!
On this precious day, let us remember that my first-ever Vtuber model, used for testing purposes, was Kurahk's model from Bionicle Heroes, which I'd happened to have lying around at the time. They still make an appearance onstream from time to time :3
I am starting a challenge for myself, which will be:
Matoran-A-Day Challenge!
The goal is to post a one Matoran every day. We'll see how long I can keep it up 😝
Rules for the challenge are written below this Matoran's description, now let's focus on the first entry.
Matoran-A-Day Challenge #00001:
Storge. He's my OC, a Po-Matoran. I won't be giving any lore here, as I don't have any consistent lore for him anyway. Not even an established form and look. But here are some settlements for this character:
his name is Storge (from the Greek word στοργή, meaning familial love),
he's a Po-Matoran,
eyes are green, colours are anything that matches the Stone element (brown, yellow, orange, with addition of black, gray or tan),
as a Matoran he can wear Kanohi Komau or Hau, as Toa or Turaga only Hau (I can make exception though),
has a heart symbol somewhere ❤,
preferred tools are shields 🛡, additionally hammers or projectile weapons,
he's not a self-MOC but very personal for me.
Anyway, here are my rules for the Matoran-A-Day Challenge:
One Matoran per post (can be more, but rather just one).
Preferably it's my own creation.
2 a. Leaving here a possibility for posting an existing set or someone else's MOC (credited of course) but not as a repost of not my image, but my own render or photo.
2 b. Leaving a possibility to remix a previous creation (sometimes just recolours if I don't have any better idea, hopefully not, but if I want to do it as long as possible, I am preparing myself for hard times).
It can be a Studio model, photo of physical MOC (or set), a drawing or anything else that shows a Matoran.
"Matoran" is a loose term here, generally meaning "a small Bionicle guy". It could be a Turaga, Agori, some small bad guy, anything. Sometimes some weird crossover creation, but still related to Bionicle somehow.
Important: I do not care for actual Bionicle lore accuracy and canonical story here in this challenge! "Matoran" means just a construction form here.
I could take suggestions in the future, I'll set up the rules and open suggestion box then.
It's not about making one Matoran each day, but posting one each day. I will be making them in a bulk and putting them in a queue so one is posted day (as for now I already have more than 20 models in Studio made or WIP).
I do not plan to make a specific Matoran for a specific day (not saying I won't do that in the future if I get some good idea to celebrate something).
