Yeah, trying to leave white spots when coloring is a total pain in the ass.

Yes it does! As a random fact I almost called myself Bioniclefangirl here (like in some places like 2 forums and many other places) but then I thought no one would take me seriously

lol, thanks...
The only parts of the picture that were colored with colored pencils would be the enviromental backgrounds behind each Rahi. Everything else was colored with Prismacolor markers.

What an incredible job you did on this. I don't know where to begin!
I'm guessing this was done with colored pencils? If so, flawless coloring.
Some things that stand to me: the use of a much lighter color on the necks of Lewa and Tahu to indicate the lights hitting at those spots. Well, you did a great job with that with all the characters here, even the grays on Onua (is he ever buff).
I find the scroll work on the two profile masks very artistic and it really adds to the overall look of your pic, and it ties in well with the style used on Onua's drapped cloth on his lower half, the line work within Kopaka's frame, and the water foam below Gali. So there is some continuity here, which is attractive.
So in summary, your shading is awesome throughout, beautifully coloring, good placement of all the characters, and the layout in general. You should be very proud of your efforts in this piece! It's a striking picture of our classic Bionicle friends.
(perhaps this was to wordy...scratch all I have just said and replace it with a simple...)
cool.

Ohmigosh, I love your Kopaka! Pohatu is my favorite of the Mata Nui toa [who also looks very cool here! Love the pose!], but Kopaka is definatly my favorite in your style. His coat his hot. X D Not to mention that that Mata Nui is just the cutest darn thing I ever saw.
Very nice image!!
I really gotta go register on bzpower, darnit. I keep saying I will and never get to it! : <

Thanks! I love how Kopaka's fur came out and I was going for a sort of soccer type move with Pohatu's pose.
*Mata Nui waddles by* HUG ME!
I just reccomend staying away from the General Art section if you do join, those kids are just absolute FILTH and make me sick. PM me if you do join, I go by the name Deadalus there.

*w* *hugs the great big adorible Mata Nui*
I'ma go sign up over there right now before I forget again. X D
*Is scared of the General Art section now* What do they do in there?? o.o Do they post dirty pictures of Bionicles? I hope not. That would be so sad. : < I mean, I'm a supporter of love in the Bionicle world, but yikes. Some people get a little crazy. I'll PM you soon's I'm signed up. : D

Okay! It's just that those kids are so damn ungrateful. Artists like me spend hours drawing and shit and post our work there and we only get a tiny bit of feedback.
Then some schmuck comes along and posts random garbage, like a screen shot with inverted colors or some crappy drawings, then BOOM! They got like 50 responses right away. It sicken me.

Oh, that sucks big time! : < I've been to other forums like that before. Certain users get so popular for whatever reason, and the majority hails them as gods, all the while shutting everyone else out. It's like they refuse to believe that there could be better artists out there. : \
Stuff like that used to bother me around here, actually, when I'd run across some really beautiful piece, and it's been up for months and only been viewed a couple times and has like three comments that are all "cool", or "nice", or "". All the while, there'd be some other artist who's getting over 100 +favs. and comments on some refridgerator art becuase they're more popular, and anything they post gains monumentous attention. I know it's not that artists's fault, persay [unless of course they KNOW they can post whatever shit they want to get attention and feed off it : <], but it's still frustrating.
In any case! lol, after that rant, I registered, and I tried to PM you, but it seems that a lot of my abilities are locked? Said something about the administrator having to like, review me or something? Though I'm kinda like. "What's there to review? I havn't even done anything yet; I'm just a name."
That was last night, anyways. I'll check it now and PM you if I can, but if not, my name there is 'Doc Roe'.
