Any BIONICLE fans out there in need of an art commission?

Feel free to message if you'd like to discuss anything :)

(Just to be clear - I've no problem with the audience I have, and I shan't be abandoning the subjects you follow me for!

I'd just like to branch out a bit in terms of what I draw.)

It’s not graffiti, it’s art!

Anyone else annoyed by the fact that we have Krana Xa and Krana Za?

There are other vowels, Lego!

I still cannot grasp how Bionicle never made anything else like the Bohrok. Fans will tell you about the deep worldbuilding and whatnot but personally I can guarantee that nothing else in that entire franchise ever even drew my attention. The bohrok were on a whole other level.

In fact, I feel only the bohrok truly realized the potential of the basic idea - the mysterious and alien concept of "lego lifeforms", the ambiguity of organic and mechanical looking shapes, the potent blend of pop culture references, and the play mechanics. Anything else approaching that quality are fan creations.

Sorry, but from what I have seen the rest of the bionicle concepts mostly do not register to me as anything more than cool lego action men and some dragons and spiders I guess.

And I get it, you need relatable humanoid protagonists as the baseline for your toy universe, that's cool. But only something like the bohrok shows how far you can really push that project.

If they ever make a reboot, imagine they get some out-of-the-blue creative punch in the gut like the bohrok again

A Bionicle commission I got from the wonderful @demitsorou. A little what-if epilogue for my most recent story: https://archiveofourown.org/works/79940631

Sometimes your boyfriend gets assimilated and mutated by the robot bug swarm and is now a fusion of him and an insect brain mask that sort of has the consciousness of a centuries-dead Av-Matoran and now they're part of an endless hivemind that will sort of always want to consume you as well... but you love him anyway.
