Behind the comic, the story....

Before I was interested in anime, I had always been a fan of LEGO. I was introduced to Bionicle in 2000-2001 by a friend, who had given me Toa Tahu as my birthday present. I brought him home from school that day, and my family was impressed (and some were jealous), and I immediately went on building him.

At the time, I called him "toa" not knowing the correct pronunciation. I had started my collection of Bionicles with the fire village, then slowly edging my way onto water. I never went near the other elements because my brothers had claimed them before I had a chance to.

Once on a vacation, I had decided to try to draw the Toa human, hence where my fanstories came from. They had the original style of hair: Tahu had spiky red hair, Kopaka had sleek white hair, Onua had a buzz cut, Pohatu had curly hair, Gali had short hair, and Lewa had a mushroom cut. I had then created a few fan characters (who are still in effect today, but won't be mentioned for a while). I dropped the idea of attempting drawing them human (of course, this was waaay before I could draw manga).

A few years later, a friend of mine decided to introduce me into anime (or something like that); I started, but failed and went back to cartoon. Then, a year later, I started the human bionicle project once more! Of course, the original artwork looks nothing like it does now; they still had the original hair style I planted them with. But, I had the first weaponry down, clothes, etc.

It wasn't until recently that some fellow Bionicle fans questioned, "Why don't you try drawing them more robotic...ie?" So, I attempted to, and from that moment on, I started drawing the first forms of the Toa.

Then come last year that their official designs finally made the mark and this year, I decided to advance it just a bit... and the choice of making a manga was a big step.

I decided that instead of just making the story go along, let's start out with a script, buying the first few books, reading up on it again, and practice.

So there you have it. The History of the Bionicle art.
But me? ugh...

NAME: Nik (or Data)
SEX: Female (bwhaha?)
DATA: I won't reveal my age or anything like that for that matter. Nik isn't even my real name either... it's just a penname. You can beg and cry all you want, but I ain't given' it to you. I live in a very "laid back" type of town, and I am still in school. I spend most of my time reading, scripting, drawing, and all the other stuff humans need to keep themselves active. I like to draw anime as my main type of art, but I'm trying to draw realism as a side type of art so I can become a better artist. I do watch anime, but I only like 1/4 of it as a whole... most of it is just plain crap. I have been ashamed of my art for quite some time now, and you'll see improvement in my art as the comic goes along.
