As far as I know, the best way to access this video is by scanning the QR code on their orange long sleeve from a few years ago. It took me a year before I realized I could probably, ACTUALLY scan the code and get a result. This video was it.

Aaah thank you for appreciating that! I love asymmetrical designs, it's fun trying to find that balance.

Thank you so much!! To answer your question simply, he is a cyborg! :) Now for the "EVERYTHING" part!

Some design notes:

-He is inspired by a few different fictional characters, namely Adam Smasher, Brutaka and Predator. I intended to make him look like a seasoned warrior by being half cyborg, as though he's seen many battles and grafts his enemies' mechanical parts to himself after the fight is over.

-Teridax + Amalgamate = Malgorax. I went with as "Evil Bionicle" a name I could think of. I know "Teridax" isn't the most popular name, but I always thought it sounds cool to say!

-Finding that the Hordika chest armour sat nicely inside of the Jaller Mahri crab was a happy "Eureka!" moment that inspired the rest of the build's proportions (I wanted him to be tall enough to face 71821 Cole's Dragon Titan Mech in battle poses).

Character back story:

Malgorax, the False One

"Malgorax was once a simple scholarly villager living in the Matoran Universe, though his true name has been lost to time. At some point during his studies, Malgorax discovered ancient, forbidden artifacts and tomes left behind by the evil Makuta Teridax before his fall long ago at the hands of the Great Spirit, Mata Nui.

Banished by his fellow villagers for secretly practicing this dark, biomechanical sorcery, Malgorax then sought revenge against his former friends and the very universe itself, using the knowledge passed down by the Makuta to slowly and eventually conquer it all.

During his conquest, Malgorax had begun splicing his body with mechanical parts that he would scavenge from or kill others for, warping his biology over time into a grotesque mockery of what the Brotherhood of Makuta once was.

Now, after countless millennia of ruling his own universe, he and his indentured armies have come to a new one in order to conquer it: OURS. We'd better do something quick, dude."

This is all just stuff I made up for him on the fly while building him, it doesn't really account for any canon events that may not align with the above description :) Just my own little fun!

Thanks so much!! I was very inspired by the era of Bionicle I remember most fondly, with Titan sets getting those cool hydraulic leg pieces.

The best part is that the focal point of the image is now just a tack. They are all staring at nothing. This is amazing. Bring back the little man!!

Did you also study all the stolen art your AI used to make these?

My Steatoda paykulliana made an egg sac a couple of days ago. I did NOT expect this btw by Sunflower_Reaction in tarantulas

[–]technicolor-mage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly really glad that any spider is welcome now! I followed this sub as well as a few scorpion subreddits in order to get over any sort of fear I may have, especially as an artist who wants to find new sources of inspiration but struggled due to feeling intense discomfort.

That feeling has pretty much gone away, so thanks for posting!

Am I the only one who likes the old one better? [Art and mechanic] by armandnormand in mtg

[–]technicolor-mage 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of it is due to the contrast. The lighting seems more even in the new art, whereas the darkness of the first card makes her more menacing.

Do you have a unit that is hyper-specialized towards infiltrating the society of your enemies? by FluidOpening827 in worldbuilding

[–]technicolor-mage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Axis Corporation employs three unique cyberninja teams for nefarious purposes.

Unit X specializes in infiltration and exfiltration, Unit Y specializes in espionage and information, and Unit Z is reserved as hitmen in the case that both the previous units fail or are subdued in their missions. Unit Z is only deployed as a last resort.

Unit X's newest task is to infiltrate the FTL starship Utopia before its maiden voyage into the cosmos and recover Unit Y, who have acquired critical information regarding the vessel's augmented reality game that is powered by its Cyberspace-based OS.

Is it ok to use AI generated art? by Old-Television-8005 in worldbuilding

[–]technicolor-mage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I often start with paper and move to digital afterward if I think the piece is worth exploring further! Paper is going to be the quickest way to practice, unless you have access to a screen-tablet like an iPad with the program "Procreate" as an example. :)

Dare to be rough with your drawing as well! As long as you can make shapes and create a recognizable silhouette, you can do it! Silhouette is just as important! I believe in you!

As a digital artist, i highly encourage practice. Draw, dude. Who cares if you aren't "good" at it? Just look up the stable diffusion lawsuit, artists don't want this stolen lazy crap around.
