And since these things were my childhood I really wanted to give it a shot too!
Tried to be super faithful to the toy design but it was super hard to make it look sexy at all so I took a lot of liberties at the end, I feel so-so about it but it was a fun test!
Were any of you into Bionicle when you were younger? I spent all my allowence on em. My favorites were almost always the green ones followed by blues! I didnt know any of the lore I just loved the toys! This generation of toys ( Toa with the armor ) were my favorites and when my Bionicle love was at its peak! I think I bought all the colors of this specific generation!

It's really embarrassing to think of all the cringey stuff me and my friends did back in the day as kids but I love those trips down memory lane too. That said I think this came out nicely. To be honest with you I can't really recall any Bionicle designs off the top of my head but I think this looks nice even with the liberties you had to take to make it more arousing. As always, I love your coloring and shading and the way you draw boobs.

Like you'd said, it's not easy to make those masks look "sexy". Hahaha

Hell yes! I had so many, I was really sad to see Bionicle was discontinued cus I loved them more than any other toy for a few years. Then I went on to Warhammer which is also plastic only around 10 times more expensive hahaha

Thank you! I might give similar stuff a try again, it was fun but tricky! I was FAIRLY faithful to the neck and arms, but other than that it's very tweaked! I never liked Gali's movie design. I never knew the blue ones were female when I was a kid, I had no clue about the lore, I just loved green and blue and thought they were cool. I tried making the mask look just like the toy at first but it looked horrendous haha!

Dude one of my favorite IRL stories happened when I was in middleschool ( I think I was 10 ) and a kid one year older than me suddenly showed up from behind a corner in the hallway when I was late for class, and he had a Beyblade in his hands and angled it towards me and said " I'll crush your totem " in a serious voice then spun his beyblade right at me, it flew across the air and I sidestepped so it smacked against the floor. Then he just casually walked past me and made sure his beyblade wasnt broken and I kept walking to class. Absolutely insane anime moment out of nowhere lol. ( I did not know the guy, and I did not have a Beyblade on me. It was super random ) But I love that memory.

I watched the movie on tv way back when as a kid and I had the Bionicle game on the 360 as a kid too but I never really got into them. Was much more of a Beyblade kid

Oh heck yeah! Bionicle was the shit back in the day! :D And I think you did a fantastic job adapting the toys to a more "organic" look, one could say? Be awesome to see more like this if you ever felt the desire!
