oh hey these again. cant shut up abt them so check down there for all the stuff the tags couldnt fit

1: Atakus and Perditus whom I could not figure out how to dress so screw it, tapyri pussy attack. i had to draw an entirely new base bc when i tried coloring over the human versions Perditus's head was too tall and looked weird. figuring out how to do Atakus's wool was a special hell, but i think the end result is pretty good

2 & 3: both came to me as vivid visions after reading @whiteheartlight 's posts here and here. the first made me realize a funny thing abt the ships ive seen more commonly w kongu (and also the one that crawled directly out of my forehead like athena) and the second was just so powerfully evocative. his ragebaiting hounds. also its the first time i tried to give shape to what i like to call Miserable Wet Goth Hewkii Hair

4: this was spawned by @leiposting and Shadow Stealer's VA Waddlez3121 discovering that Shadow Stealer is short as hell and acting out a lil thing abt that. i love that lil smug treyla, i think thats the best lil face ive ever drawn :3

5: meant to be done for june but i only completed it now. THIS is a more definitive version of the Miserable Wet Goth Hewkii Hair that better complies with the hair texture i actually gave him; the yuri is helryx and johmak bc i like the sort of professional almost distant thing i gave them in a fic for bioshippingweek once; hakann n thok based on @lee-the-yeen 's designs and post; and last but not least romance-repulsed Gresh my beloved. he poofy :)

6 & 7: Mabara Bitri (full-body and headshot) and Usine, my frightening mysterious women!!!! i tried to sketch em out as soon as i finished that story i think, but im allergic to posting things on their own so they had to wait until i had more stuff. that lil doodle of Birì's features was also an attempt to show what jumps directly to the eyes of ppl who see her for the first time. the full-body was supposed to be similar to a carving but i think that got lost - i tried to do her burnt arm too, tho in the end decided to go for the sleeve and glove instead

8: another one i had in mind since forever - specifically since hearing the line "as important and loved as any of the sons of Makuta... or - well, maybe I'd tell myself that" in Akhmou's Lament and going Wow Just Like In My Pohatu's Psychological Torture AU! they would be great friends i think. just two horrendously poor self-esteemed stone lads who long to be evil worms cradled in their definitely certainly very trustworthy employer's claws

"Is that it?"

"Seems to be."

"For the love of - when I ask you a question, I want a clear, definitive answer!"

"I can't give you what I don't have, can I?"

"You never have it!"

"Precious little I can do about that."

"I hate you. I hate you I hate you I hate you."

"Relax."

"Ok. Ok, you're right, I need to calm down. Let's try again. Is that it?"

"As far as I'm aware, yes."

"Alright."

"Happy now?"

"Yes. Thank you."

"Good."

"Alright. ... Alright."

"..."

"So we're next."

"Who knows."

"I hate you."

"Calm down. A king needs subjects for its kingdom, or he'll be ruling over salted fields and burning rubble, neither of which can do the work for him nor sing his praises when he demands it."

"So?"

"So for now, we're still needed."

"For now. Just for now. Then we'll blink and we'll be dead."

"Calm down."

"Quit saying that! Look what happened to those possible 'subjects' of his! You think it'll be any different for us?!"

"Everybody dies."

"But not us! Not us! We paid the right to live with ourselves! We're worse than cannon fodder! We're going to be the first to go!"

"Breathe, damnit. Breathe."

"How can you-"

"Breathe! I can hear your heart beating from here. Don't stress that shoddy thing of yours."

"Don't you dare call- don't- oh, oh, don't--"

"Ah, pro Certavi - breathe. Sit down and breathe. Here. Three drags, as usual."

"..."

"There you go. There you go."

"I... I hate you."

"I know."

"I hate you."

"I know."

"I don't think I want to live like this."

"I know."

"Great Beings. Great Beings. Oh Great beings, I can't live like this, I can't live like this. It's going to kill me before he does. It's going to kill me before he does."

"Take another drag."

"It's not going to help."

"It's going to keep your heart from blowing up. Take it."

"What's it matter? What's it matter? You said it, everybody dies anyways. I'd rather die like this a thousand times than without even noticing it. I'd rather die like this."

"Atakus."

"I'd rather die like this."

"Atakus. He will come along and get you back up. He will drag you out into the sun to do his bidding all over again just to kill you with his own hands. You said it. We paid for the right to live with ourselves. We don't get to choose what we can do with these bodies anymore. We don't get to choose how we die anymore."

"..."

"Atakus."

"Megáloi Óntes, oĩda. I know. I know."

"..."

"Oh Perditus, Perditus... Oh Perditus, I can't do this. We can't do this. We can't live like this."

"But we will. As we've always had to do. We don't have any other choice."

heaps of humanized bonkles, some newer, some older - ft. all toa mangai and a few members of the order of mata nui

Raanu! Based his hair style/facial hair off his helmet design in TLR, and no you can't tell me it doesn't look like he has a mustach in the movie. Also plan on just straight up creating leaders for the other tribes since theyer actually never mentioned in the series (and by technicallity Atakus would count as the, now ex-, Rock Tribe leader.)

[barsom-fearce]

Atakus! He gets a nice leather vest since he as well is on Velika's payroll.

spot the difference

Atticus: You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.

Atakus: No one rides into Roxtus without getting past me. And those that do, heh, never leave.
