FINALLY!! Nuju and Onewa's hordika humanizations are DONE!
Drawing/deciding their animal forms was a bit difficult, but in the end, I'm happy with how they turned out~ And with a lil cameo from Krahka in her favorite form.
I don't think I've explained it before, but I know plenty of bonkle peeps can come to the same conclusion. I'm specifically making the Toa Metru's humanized hordika forms based off real animals (or animals in the Bionicle universe in this case) Which makes sense in story, these guys turn into beasts in story - I just didn't want to make them the same beast overall, that wouldn't be fun right? ;) So yeah, I guess it's a bit counterintuitive to call this a humanization since they just look like animals anyways, but that's just how the Bionicle story goes.
So I based Onewa off of a bull, thanks to the help of some of me followers~ And Nuju off of a secretary bird - I originally wanted to do an owl, but it wasn't translating very well unfortunately.
I also wanted to do Krahka, even though she never really has a canon original form and shapeshifts into different forms, but I wanted to at least do something for her. (Maybe in the future I'll dedicated a piece to her Six in One Toa form hehehe.) But I imagine she's very comfortable in Onewa's form. I think there would've been some time between her encounter with the Toa and Web of Shadows where she experimented with giving herself a more "toa-like" form.
Taking bits and pieces from the Toa, and rather making it a monstrous form, she tried to make her form look like it could walk among the crowd. But she probably struggled with the fact that it would be ripping herself away from her rahi blood, removing that "last of her kind" part of her.
Though Krahka probably enjoyed flexing these "strange muscles" too. She would probably say Onewa is the only form of the Toa Metru she can see herself in and feeling comfortable in.
Anyways, with that, that's all of the Toa down. Time to give Roodaka some spotlight again and that should be it for '05! After this, thanks to popular request, I'll be doing '07 instead of heading into '06, that'll be afterwards! Enjoy this piece for the time being~
