Here's Part 1 of the series on YouTube:

So I was just derping around on deviantART and came across this guy's gallery:

:iconriseoftheelite:

Wasn't really thinking about much, but I started to click around his gallery and at some point I felt like I was looking at myself like 6 years in the past. It finally hit me when I saw this.

It might look like some ridiculous cross over, but it summed up the last 11 years of my life, and for some reason, I felt obligated to remake it. Bionicle was my second religion when I was a kid, and Kopaka was my favorite character (I mean, my username kinda says that too). Then at some point when I became too poor to afford LEGOs, in high school I started to have nightmares about Terminator after becoming obsessed with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. A lot of everybody laughed at me and thought I was stupid because I jumped on the Terminator wagon after the Schwarzenegger arc, but whatever. Then towards the end of high school, I secretly became some Japanese pervert, making K-On! my next religion and having fantasies about Hatsune Miku. Black Rock Shooter just happened to be one of those milestones in my life in college that I obsessed about.

Anywho, Redemption is a stop-animation series featuring the three characters above. Pretty nostalgic, as I remember when I was a kid I wanted to do the same, except it was with those cheap Bandai Gundam articulated figures, back when Bandai thought it was a good idea to market action figures. Man those were the times.

I'm not an expert at the story, but apparently Kopaka is banished from his world and is sent to one with Kuroi Mato and Skynet. Kopaka and Mato eventually make a team up against the Terminators. Now that I think about it Kopaka and BRS would make a good couple. In fact, I think Kopaka and anyone would make a good couple. Okay, stop me now bef--*nosebleed*. Ugh, WHY ME?

Anyway, I made this in secret for ~RiseOfTheElite. Hopefully it motivates him in some fashion that I never got when I was a kid. TT^TT Made this for, as you've read, nostalgic reasons. Got me right here in the heart. Though, I mainly started doing this to draw Kopaka. Haven't done so in like... 10 years? Man. I was going to make a 10th anniversary tribute picture to Bionicle, but you know, college happened.


Hope you enjoy this, ~RiseOfTheElite. Feel free to use it and all.


There's also a hip-hop version.
