I went for two different styles, one where she's wearing a pink skirt (above), and the other where she's wearing all red (below). I also made the addition where her double blade harp could be used as a set of wings.
The collection of photos is rather comical, made to be like trade able Valentine's Day cards. Someday I plan to make a set of trading cards out of the 16 pictures, make them look even better by adjusting the lighting, possibly adding a border, and flaring them up to fit that dazzled Valentine's Day card look. For now though, they will stay comical photos.
The theme I was going for in these photos, with the sparkly pink curtain backdrop, and silky pink flooring, was sort of a music stage. I wanted it to look like Frona was all dressed up for Valentines day, and was invited to sing at an evening Valentines day party. That's why I made it look like she was standing on a silky pink, carpet covered stage, with sparkly pink curtains in the background.
Now for some history behind these pictures, and the Frona cupid design.
Back in 2010 the long lasting Bionicle fan fiction, Life of Lewa, an inspiration ignited by a friend of mine; contained many odd episodes which could be rather twisted and mind glitching, in the sense that you wouldn't expect the sort of stuff we played to be thrown in with Bionicle. During the month of February, we decided to have a little fun by playing a few Valentines themed episodes; it's during these episodes I invented Frona Cupid. Now you may remember Frona being mentioned in previous posts; "Travels of Frona" for instance, a small graphic novel revolving around her, shows you that she's clearly an ice type. So you may be wondering why she suddenly became Frona Cupid, a white, gold, and red figure; and that's where the Valentine's day episodes from LoL comes in. During these episodes, a love pixie from an alternate fairytale universe makes her way into their world, causing mischief by powdering people with her love dust, a sparkly pink powder which has the same affect as Cupid's arrows if inhaled. This fairy caused trouble all over the land, but things got personal for the Toa Nuva when this love pixie shot Frona. Frona was on the beach at the time, and when she inhaled the powder it affected her differently; it changed her armor, and it made her as bold and crazy as the pixie that shot her, (thankfully the dust wears off after a few days). Frona became a slight threat to the personal lives of Lewa and Tahu while she was in cupid mode, and here's why; when Frona was hit she fell in love with the first being she saw, that poor soul being Lewa. She wanted him instantly, but he refused, telling her he was engaged to the beautiful Venimbus. In her jealousy, Frona shot Venimbus with a reverse beam from her scope. A reverse beam is an ability Frona possesses, which can cause any mind to reverse back to an earlier state of their life, making them believe it's still the time line they were living in so long ago. This was bad for Lewa, because Venimbus believed the air types and jungle types were still at war, and that Lewa was her enemy. Lewa sought to cure her, and succeeds, but that is part of another tale.
Now as for Tahu, he was affected in a personal way because he got shot by the love pixie, and the first being he saw was a crazy Frona Cupid. That riled up Gali, and Gali asked Lewa to help. Lewa found an antidote that stops the affects of love dust, and he shot Tahu in the rear with a miniature arrow that was tipped with the stuff. Tahu was very angry, but soon woke up to realize how much trouble this pixie was causing. The rest of the tale won't be crammed into this history, but now you get where Frona Cupid came from.
When Frona woke up from her insanity, she came to like the color scheme she was wearing, and embraced it as a joke, dressing up as Frona Cupid during Valentines day, and performing for parties on the occasion.
