Toa Nuva on Mata Nui

The magic of Bionicle got to me through the film Mask of Light. Not only did I really love the awesome Toa, but the world attached to it, Mata Nui, was equally fascinating to me. All the different environments, the strange architecture and a mystic atmosphere was very inspiring to me.

I created the seven Toa and Mata Nui with Mask of Light in mind, but I gave my own interpretation to them. I loved (and owned) the Toa Nuva, but in truth each wave of Bionicle had me drooling over the sets, so you may see influences of Toa Mata and Metru, for example. My aim was to overall capture the essence of each Toa and the mythical world they live in, and I included details like totems and even a rock carving of Mata Nui himsel!

I hope you enjoy it!
