Color17

Alright it's time to address the elephant in the room. I haven't posted anything in here for a while. No top 10 of the second wave, no journal entries about not posting in here, and in fact just nothing in general. And so I guess it's time to tell you guys the truth.

I'm moving on from being Color 17/Arctic 17 and from Bionicle art in general.

Most of you probably knew this was coming and perhaps you might not like it but it's true. Recently I have had a block in terms of doing any art related to Bionicle. I don't know if it's because Bionicle is officially done in terms of the canon story, or because I love my current alias more, but I know this for certain. I am not coming back to drawing Bionicles anytime soon. (However it does not stop me from playing with Bionicles which I am still doing.)

Another we got that settled it's time I start thanking people for helping to make my childhood and teenage years online bearable.

Although in terms of DeviantArt people, I can only think really one person who have actually talked to that often:  I met this fantastic person when I started doing a role play on BZPower called Corpus Rahkshi, and he was very a supportive and kind person even if I only mostly talked him through Skype. I also have to give him a bunch of credit for helping me out with a lot of my creative processes when making most of my ConstellaToa. Without him, some of my characters wouldn't look as cool as they did without his pre-post criticism. We're still on good terms although I have to admit I don't talk to him that often since I don't use Skype anymore in favor for Discord. (You should totally get a Discord, Click!) Either way he's an amazing person and if you haven't watched him yet you should because he's good at what he does!

Anyways if you're curious to see what I'm going to be doing from now on take a look at my  account. I know I've briefly mentioned my new alias months ago, but now I'm making it a point to tell you guys that I'm moving to this accounts permanently. Thanks to Bionicle, I was inspired to create avatar of a robot that controls colors. There I am going to be continuing to produce art and now my own original stories inspired by Super Sentai (the original and better version of the Power Rangers), Kamen Rider, and other Tokusatsu and special effects superhero shows like the aforementioned Power Rangers and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Currently because I'm going through college I won't be posting much under my new alias as often as I want to. There's a journal that talks about it there and you can read it.

As a final thing to ask, I know of already gone through half of my characters and so I feel kind of guilty just leaving you guys without attempting to finish them. So therefore I thought of a perfect compromise. Since most of the last profiles are pretty much completed, would you like me to post the profiles of the last 44 ConstellaToa in a journal as my last post here? Either way I might do so myself because of the reasons I've already stated, but I wanted to ask for your opinions.

And just in case you were wondering, I'll still leave this account up as a testament to my own childhood.

Thank you for understanding and for being an awesome small fan base for my artwork, and I hope you still continue to support my artistic ventures. 

Here are the relevant links:
<<< My current alias
My journal about my current state of affairs

#10 - Cygnal of the Constellation Cygnus
#09 - Cyclone of the Constellation Gemini
#08 - Somn of the Constellation Indus
#07 - Capita of the Constellation Hydra
#06 - Cabalt of the Constellation Equuleus
#05 - Tsuru of the Constellation Grus
#04 - Pel of the Constellation Coma Berenices
#03 - Mercro of the Constellation Corvus
#02 - Cruxader of the Constellation Crux
#01 - Wyvera of the Constellation Draco

EDIT: So here's the list, but unfortunately, I will not do a top 10 redesign this year as I begin to prepare for my first year of college in a few more months. This will not affect my ability to finish the rest of the 88 characters.

Here's the link to all the ConstellaToa: What's With These Constellation Toa Business?

So I can't make an actual poll being a normal member...but I really want to ask this.


After review the next 22 characters for Wave 2, I found that I really like a lot of these concepts and I felt that I wouldn't be able to pick a top 10. So I decided on two different ways to create a list, and thought to ask you guys for your opinion. Please comment your answer here and I'll just keep tally on my end.

OPTIONS

• Ask you guys to select their own top 10 (or at least their favorite character)

                        or

• Make the list with the help of RNG (Random Number Generator)

So I needed something to do while I do things for this particular account, so I thought I'd do one of these as suggested by

Comment and I will

1. Tell you something I learned about you by looking at your dA page for 20 seconds.
2. Tell you a color you remind me of.
3. Tell you what element I believe you belong to 
4. Tell you what animal you remind me of. 
5. Ask you a question, and you must answer. 
6. Tell you something I like about you or your art.
7. Give you a nickname.
8. Tell you what am I watching/listening to right now.
9. Tell you what food/flavor/smell you remind me of.
10. Tell you to do this in your journal too, if you haven't already.

So as I finish this set of 22, I thought about some of the characters I really enjoyed making. So I thought about remaking my 10 most favorite characters of the 22 that I made and will post this year.

After spending a day looking at each of the 22 and ranking them up on a spreadsheet, here is my top 10.

#10 - Altair of the Constellation Aquila
#09 - Herald of the Constellation Bootes
#08 - Fluxx of the Constellation Aquarius
#07 - Unagi of the Constellation Cetus
#06 - Marin of the Constellation Capricornus
#05 - Mark of the Constellation Caelum
#04 - Capoe of the Constellation Apus
#03 - Auric of the Constellation Ara
#02 - Kusari of the Constellation Andromeda
#01 - Oma of the Constellation Cancer
