Okay! Finally, it's time to post the backlog of artwork I did from 2023 and all previous years :) One of my goals this year is to be more active on social media and get on an actual posting schedule [*groans in introvert*] lol

Here is the revised portrait I did for Gaia [Gali] from my humanized Bionicle project. Since characters in this series won't be using/wearing their original mask from LEGO's set designs [for copyright reasons], I wanted to design each person's face and hair with features from their kanohi designs while showcasing their personalities too.

For Gaia's design, I focused on using design elements from the Kaukau Nuva mask [hair, brow, lips, and nostrils] while also keeping some features from the original Kaukau itself [nose bridge, cheeks, and face shape]. Her determined yet gentle personality can be seen in her soft upturned eyes and structured yet free-flowing hairstyle.

Were Nova Blasts... Intentional?

So, today I watched @rahiwatching‘s Knowledge Tower video about Nova Blasts, and how actually in order to produce that much energy, Toa would have a truly obscene amount of energy within them.

And it made me think about something. Is the Nova Blast actually an intended trait of the Toa? Is it something they’re supposed to be able to do? Or did the Great Beings just... forget to put a cap on how much energy a Toa can release at once?

The Nova Blast is powerful enough that it can completely destroy islands. Both times it was used, this was expressed: Gali floods Karzahni (the island) entirely, and Jaller’s attempt, though suppressed, would’ve destroyed Metru Nui itself.

Now, the Great Beings are famously irresponsible. “Put a plasma cannon on a giant cyborg scorpion”- irresponsible. But I don’t think they would intentionally put something that could destroy islands vital to the GSR’s function within the GSR itself. It would be entirely counter-intuitive.

Accidentally, though? That, I buy. I could totally see them forgetting to set an upper limit on a Toa’s output- After all, they’re not meant to be sentient. Nothing in the GSR is. If the GSR’s population weren’t subject to the Awakening, and all acted fully within their programming for their entire voyage, then they never would’ve had cause to trigger a Nova Blast, and never would’ve needed hard limits set on their power, because there would be nothing dangerous enough to justify using that much of it.

So, without knowing that such a situation would arise, the Great Beings either forgot or considered a hard limiter irrelevant... until they began to consider the possibility of the Toa becoming threats upon the return to Spherus Magna, and thus, Marendar was born.

Now, the fact that the technique has a name means it must be something that the Toa are aware of, despite the lack of use, which could suggest that knowledge of the technique was wired-in by the GBs... but the Toa used to have a culture, and organised training, so it’s entirely conceivable that the technique was named by the Toa themselves (Perhaps by a Toa of Fire or Plasma, given the root of the word “Nova”), and then passed down by them, until it eventually reached Vakama, who passed it on to Jaller.

It’s also worth noting that, despite using the ability, Gali never refers to it by name.

Gali wears red better than Tahu.

And so the rivers run bloody.

This came about when me and the lads from our bonkle fam were talking and the thought came about of "how a fusion between Gali and Tahu would work" so I took the extreme of Gali just dominating the fusion, now powered by Tahu's boundless anger, and becoming a bloodthirsty barbarian badass. Physically I pictured she'd just get larger and get Tahu's red coloration, but deeper. So, Blood Gali.

I'm having thoughts, mainly Takua being the Toa Mata's/Nuva' little brother in the sense that when they saw him, they looked forward to seeing him again and wondered if today would be the day they saw him after not seeing him for a few days or a few weeks

Lewa in the tree tops scouting or just swinging around until he spots a Ta-Matoran with a blue mask and decides to pause, scoop him up, and check in before he lets him go on his merry way

Onua sensing SOMETHING in the highway to Onu-Koro/Wahi, and finds Takua without a lightstone and trying to find his way with glowing plants he keeps picking; their light fades out and leave him back in the dark, and Onua found a trail of them that led him to the Chronicler. They both make their way to Onu-Koro/Wahi and Onua tells some good stories on the way to keep Takua from worrying about the dark

Kopaka walking around Ko-Koro above the snow with Takua trudging through the snow, INSISTING he's okay and is doing fine on his own. Kopaka just smirks and keeps a slow pace so Takua’s not left behind, and then carries him when the little guy falls deeper in the snow

Pohatu racing through Po-Koro/Wahi with Takua holding onto him for dear life, but also having the time of his life and, if the two need to stop for the night, sharing tales/stories they picked up on in the day-to-day, like Pohatu telling a story a bet he made with Tahu and won. Takua tells the story of how he got Pewku and managed to convince Jaller to let him keep her, though also had to hide her from Jaller for, like, a week

Tahu finding Takua as he's sightseeing alone for the umpteenth time and first giving him a light scare before making sure the Chronicler doesn't die. While with him, he has to carry him around simply because he doesn't trust Takua's sense of balance. There are "older brother" antagonistic moments of him(Tahu) messing with Takua's mask to prove his point that Takua either needs it abmdjusted or needs a mask that will actually fit him

Gali in the waters of Ga-Koro seeing Takua speaking with Ga-Matoran and just sneaking after him Jaws style until she slips out of the water and... ends up losing him. Not really, though, because he pops out from behind a rock to surprise her, and also as a "gotcha" for trying to surprise him. This is an idea I liked from someone else and just fitting it in: They're both heading to Kini Nui, Gali to meditate and Takua to see if there's anything new to Chronicle. After a while, Gali finds Takua sitting nearby and trying to meditate as well, but is either having trouble sitting still or has just fallen asleep. She just picks him up and holds him as she continues to meditate

After arriving in Metru Nui, the Turaga began to occasionally call each of the Toa ‘brother’ or ‘sister’, partially an acknowledgment of their past lives, partially to acknowledge the success that the Toa Nuva have earned, and largely as camaraderie in the bond that they share as Toa or former Toa.

Tahu outwardly acts like it’s only right that he’d be addressed as such, trying to make others believe that he accepts it in stride, but inwardly, he is humbled by the acknowledgment. The Turaga see through his bluster and appreciate his humility.

Onua is outwardly quite humble and appreciative when it happens, but inwardly, he doesn’t quite see himself as being worthy of being addressed by such wise beings as the Turaga, who he holds in high esteem, so he usually comes off as a little bashful when he responds in kind.

The Turaga started being reluctant to call Gali ‘sister,’ largely because she reacts to the title, by pushing herself a little too hard to prove that she is worthy of the acknowledgment. She once to stayed up all night for two days while repairing an aqueduct in Ga-Metru, and when she could barely keep awake during a meeting with the Turaga, everyone immediately decided that Nokama should not call Gali sister anymore.

Kopaka typically glances at whoever called him this and slightly nods, sort of a polite acknowledgment, but those who know him best, especially Nuju, know that he is actually quite touched by the endearment, and he has to be stoic to keep up appearances. Whenua, having the best hearing, has multiple times heard Kopaka whisper ‘thank you, brother’ in response to Nuju or Vakama.

Takanuva started out being quite flustered when he was called brother by any of the elders, still being unused to being called brother even by the other Toa, but as he grew used to his powers and his responsibilities, he began to accept it in stride. He still won’t return the title, since he still uncomfortable with the idea of calling any of the Turaga by that term, but he is still moved by the respect they show him.

Lewa was delighted when they started calling him brother, But he’s also somewhat amused, often laughing when they call him that. To Lewa, it’s still difficult to imagine these wise old beings as Toa heroes, so he can’t always keep himself from laughing. Even so, he never fails to respectfully return the honorific.

The Toa Mahri have varying degrees of acceptance of the honorific. Jaller is proud to carry the title, and Hahli is eager to prove herself worthy of the honorific (though not as much as Gali). Kongo is a bit smug about it, Nuparu takes it in stride, and Hewkii tends to get sort of ‘aw, shucks’ about it. All of them are somewhat muted in their response, mostly because Nuju was the first to call them brother and sister. They all understand that Nuju calls them that as much as he does in memory of Matoro, and his regret that he never got to see his friend as a Toa and call him ‘brother’ in person. The Mahri learned the bird speak for Brother and Sister, and they always call Nuju brother right back.

And the Turaga universally agreed never to call Pohatu ‘brother’ again shortly after the first few times. After then, he began exclusively referring to the Turaga as brother or sister, always with extreme enthusiasm that the elders often find exasperating and often demanding fist bumps from any Turaga he encounters for days after. Most of them just quietly stopped calling him that, except for Onewa, who continued occasionally calling him brother when he felt he had earned it, but after Pohatu found out that Turaga Dume had been a Toa, the seven had an official meeting where they unanimously voted not to call Pohatu brother anymore. Matau still occasionally calls him that, though, because he personally thinks it’s fucking hilarious when Pohatu tries to fist bump Nuju.

I like the idea of the Toa Mata being... around when needed, but for the most part just kinda going off and doing their own thing since they're not really beholden to any rules. It's a very special thing to actually see one of the Toa chilling out somewhere

#this is kinda ignoring the fact that given the timeframe the series actually happens over #means they were likely only the mata for a few months at most #bionicle #toa #toa mata #lewa #lego #bonkle #digital #art #sketchbook #i can also see the various toa being different levels of social #like gali pohatu and tahu hanging out around their villages more #kopaka being a very rare sight on purpose and onua being a rare sight on accident #lewa i think oscillates between being really social and wanting super alone time with basically no in-between #by the time they become the nuva they become much more active role models and social figures for the matoran

FINISHED!!! I'm really happy to show off the Toa Nuva humanized designs off, finally~ Making armor designs is hard, but I think I got the point across with the "upgade" motif.

I also just think I did better linework wise this time. If you want to see their previous iteration (Mata form) go ahead and click this word!

Otherwise, enjoy :)
