This is Toa Hahli,Toa of water, one of the the six
Bionicle Heroes. My son loves all the bionicles,
but I think this one is his favorite....so this is his
Christmas gift. It was a fun one to paint.
I missed this, it's fantastic, I love what you do with your paint, the white, scratchy effect is wonderful. I've so much to learn with this medium, lol! I bet your son's room looks just like mine, full of his mums pictures, they won't need wallpaper soon, hehe!:)
Ren, this proves you can work with any subject, human or otherwise. The lighting on each little piece is really well done. I would love to see you do some sci-fi!
Great background too. I also dig bionicles, as does the husband.
My boys loved bionicles too.. i got sick of stepping on them.. and the vacuum got sick of eating them... lolol.. i would rather see them like this for sure.. all together and in a nice frame on the wall!!!.. Bet your son loved this!!!... Breathtaking details!!!!!
This is superb ,Renata...I'll tell you...the story of these bionicles by LEGO...started about 7 years ago...I remember my son Saar used to collect them too..he so much loved them...and still he has this collection somewhere..AND I remember,he even once as 7 -8 years old kid tried to draw it...You did awesome work..love it and also the background works excellent.
Cool very cool Renata! The Queen of Chaos nailed another one... The feel of metal in the background is great.

A little different from your normal work but awesome just the same. I can't get over how truly talented you are. :-) When I get my wedding pics back I think I may ask you to do one up for me!!

What amazes me most about your talent is how extrememly versatile it is... You go from Enchantresses, to wonders of nature, to absolute science fiction to portrait, and they all look as if they had been painted or drawn by an expert in that area;Yet, you manage to consistently nail every single genre in such a manner that leaves not one tiny detail untouched...
You are amazing...
Much Love my friend....
