Description
Nicknamed 'The Caveman' for a number of reasons.This deviation had a load of experimenting...
-White background - I think it looks more professional (will probably replace with cloth later)
-No silver! Never realised what a huge improvement that would be.
-The shield...not such a big fan of the shape, but I don't have a lot of usable pieces...
-You might notice that I've inverted the lower arm - the hand now has a hinge instead of a ball-and-socket. The posability's inproved a little, but the elbow is much weaker - I think I'll change it back.

It's not his final version, and it was an experiment in photography (that didn't work). I really should clean up my Scraps folder...

Huh, I thin the shield design works pretty well, shame about the neccessity for the rubber bands though.

Yeah, I'm using rubber bands increasingly often...it's a shame, sometimes it's the only way to hold something down. The bad thing is, it throws off the colour scheme - not so much here, but I was forced to use a green rubber band on a blue Toa. Ouch.

Yeah... but the important thing is that it holds.

Of course, I thought it might be you who made this.
Excellent job on the 'caveman' here.

eya! Since I can't comment much on the bionicle of various reasons, I'll comment the photography.
Not to say that you didn't do a good job or anything - It's really good XD White does create a more professional look.
My advice would be to find a plain wall, take a piece of cloth or preferably a long piece of paper (like wrapping paper or something), just something without too many wrinkles, stick the top end to the wall and let it fall to the ground and reach a few feet forwards. It makes the wall/ground connection more smooth. Also, a different light source would do a big difference, since blitz often creates too much shadow/lighting whatever. Kinda ruins some of the detail in the color. Well, that brings us to the shadows. Avoid too much of a shadow behind Mr. Bionicle by moving him forward on the paper/cloth. Enough that there'll be no defined shadow behind him on the wall, but watch out that the background is all white and nothing else is in the frame. C: I think you should try it out if you can.
You have the camera to take super professional pictures C: I think it'd be great for you to practise this too, since doing stopmotions and comics would be a lot more fun for you, I think.

Indeed ^^ I wouldn't have been able to do the shield without it. It doesn't contain as many tan pieces as you'd think though...
