Thank you! Glad you liked it! :) Brutaka was my 1st Bionicle Titan. I collected some sets since 2001, but couldn't afford a Titan until 2007. I found him for half of the normal price on a store that time, and couldn't miss it. Turns out he was very imposing next to my other sets.

It's time for #Bionicle art every day. #bonktober but I won't be following any prompt list (a few days may match). To start it, I've drawn my first set of all: POHATU! He's my favourite Toa (in set form). With Kanohi Kakama, he's faster than a Vako! 🦏 #bioniclecommunity #legobionicle #bioniclefanart

Two drawings of BIONICLE character Pohatu racing across the desert. In the last drawing he passed across a flock of Vako (rhino like mechanical beasts).

On the context of #Bionicleday #810nicleday, I've dug up into the Great Archives themselves to find out my old #BIONICLE drawings (2003-2007, also found KKII in the mix). There's no more proof than this on how far I've been a fan. But there were long hiatus in the way as well, it's true...

It's #BionicleDay (or #810nicleday)! ⚙️ The latest ones are Hydraxon and Maxilos — maybe the only faces you got to see if you're sent to the Pit. That wraps up my #Bionicle #Sketchbook for now. Check all entries ⬇️🧵. I'm already drawing in larger format, and may be back for #Bonktober if I find time.

Drawing of two Bionicle characters, Hydraxon and Maxilos. Hydraxon is black, Gray and silver; he has wrist blades and a shooting weapon on his right hand. Maxilos is Gray, red and black; he has claws for hands and the shooting weapon "Cordak blaster" is mounted on his right shoulder. Both have tubes and hoses simulating diving gear.

My #Bionicle #sketchbook continues, this time, it's Sarda (Sarda, not Balta). You can hear him singing a tune "you got a friend in me" if you want, probably he's humming that next to Lesovikk. That's how much he has of personality. #ballpointpen #BRArt

Took some time for more #Bionicle #sketchbook and I guess that's a pretty popular character — not every Matoran speak so openly about turning the lights out for their own kind — all things considered, Ahkmou has it coming... If it depends on Macku, that is. I for one focused on her days on Mata Nui.

It shouldn't be any surprise I'm a long time #Bionicle fan (w/bouts of hiatus between a few years), but do I have anything to back that claim? 🤔 I'm trying to get back at it, so I sketched a no-brainer for starters. I've heard #Tahu is as popular as ever, so I made a Hau. Hope you like it #bonktober
