Getting a BIONICLE Face

The following MOC is from the many times commonly know Jinzoningen. I would say this is one of the best examples there exists that shows a Bionicle construction in a truly seemingly biological and realistic way.

The details(best seen on the partway-through-building images) are both very well managed as well as carefully crafted. Special attention should be noted on the mouth(made from various Bohrok bodypieces), as wel as the sequential construction on the top of the head. Although one could argue that this construction is mainly made with Technic connectors and pieces, it's its special usage of specific pieces that give it a justfull classification as a Bionicle construction, having both the usual flowing look of such and the unusual interweaving. Details best viewed on the side view image that shows the way the mask follows the lines of the face and head.

Let's Talk about Fish

Choosing to approach this from a simpler viewpoint, this time instead I'll just expose some pictures after the following explanation.

The idea for this display comes from the definition of Bionicle MOCs that I before gave as having more potential to be organic than most usual LEGO MOCs; as such, and also using the entries from the past BZPower Bionicle Based Creations Contest whose entries consisted mostly of aquatic creatures I chose to display what I think are some of the best executed of those as well as some others I have found(because doing this on mammals would have mad ethe post so much longer). Keep in mind that for such choice I did not led myself from the results, and instead chosed not the most impressive, but those that I believe that better portraied the biological simplicity and elegance of the normal aquatic lifeforms(because the number of fish I found ended up being too small). The decision was made purely on my own and I might have not found soem results which should be worth mentioning, so if anyone has one MOC that they would like to share, be my guest and just reply with the link(choice still applies though).
