5978: Sphinx Secret Surprise (Micro scale)

An updated and re-render of my micro scale version of Sphinx Secret Surprise. One of my grail sets that I'd love to actually own in the future 🤣

It's funny that someone tried to Dox me.

Most people already know who I am anyway 😂

Kind of surreal to see my artwork actually printed.

Special thanks to @anotherbionicle.bsky.social for sending me this cover variant.

Additional renders of the Kikanalo Certainly based more on the set variant, though I'm tempted to make a more movie accurate version.

Who knows, maybe I'll start making brick built Rahi...

Getting the Kikanalo in scale with my toa figure was a bit of a challenge, trying to get enough shaping and space to fit a toa whilst remaining faithful to the set design. The head was the most frustrating part.

Toa Lhikan and Kikanalo:

A set that made zero sense whatsoever. But I still love it because it includes my favourite Toa.

Josef:

A re-render of my Joseph figure from the game Machinarium.

I stumbled across Machinarium during lockdown when I was trying to find fun games to play on my phone. And I immediately fell in love with it. The character designs, the artwork, the backgrounds.

It's been incredibly useful and refreshing to use the official backgrounds for these figures too. Just adds to that level of authenticity.

The Toa Metru:

The complete set 😉 it's been fun to revisit these figure concepts like my Phantoka/Mistika series. Giving them their Turaga mask colours gave a really good look into a 'What if ?' scenario as well.

Toa Metru Onewa:

Last but not least, Onewa.
It's been fun to revisit these figures, and to do them a bit more justice than I did the first time.

Toa Metru Nuju:

Looks a lot better in the old light grey in my opinion.

that way it means people can check in each month and read another page or two and not be left waiting too long.

MysticBuilds @mysticbuilds.bsky.social · 27d

I'm tempted to return back to the world of Preternatural.

It's been two years since I released issue 1 and I know where I want the story to go.

To try and even out the workload I might release one or two pages a month.

Probably the most hellish one to pose and then edit in Photoshop 🤣

Toa Metru Whenua:

Ah, my first Toa Metru set. I always loved the design for the great Kanohi Ruru. I'm glad I was able to make it somewhat accurate to the actual piece.
