When the Toa Inika became toa, they were different in a few ways. The Red Star made them special, and apparently also made their masks rubber instead of metal. I had my thoughts on what their masks would normally look like, had they been made toa in a more conventional way, perhaps with Toa Stones. As part of my modular “Build-a-Toa” project, I came across these masks and redesigned them to better fit how I believe they would look on regular toa.
The Kanohi Iden (surprisingly, not too different from the original)
These are all drafts, obviously (which is why the Suletu is missing, still figuring that one out), but I encourage constructive criticism!
Tanks, breh. I’m working on making every mask that a normal toa would wear (so no Kanohi Tryna, I’m afraid), which is a total of 25. Then I’ll be on to chest armor, shoulder armor, etc. Hopefully “Build-a-Toa Workshop” will be a topic soon!
Yeahhhh… it’s supposed to be two sides of an armored bottom half, but it kinda looks like buck teeth. That might actually be worse than the mustache mask. I’ll have to remedy that in my final draft.
@RedMageGizmo Yeah, the Sanok is a bit tall, but that top piece is part of what makes it the Sanok. I’ll try to shorten it a tad in the next draft. @TFM101 I hadn’t thought of that yet, maybe once the main concept is finished I’ll put together some CCBS parts.
Also, I just finished the Suletu concept. Tons of erase marks, this took me forever to get a design I liked:
I’ve had the second draft of the Sanok done for quite some time, but didn’t get around to the others. I finally did a second one, the Iden, and I figured that at my current pace, I might as well update right now since updating once I have all six is gonna take years.
The Kanohi Sanok (even more proud than I was originally, if it wasn’t obvious by my profile picture and… this)
I like the mask, sue me (thanks to Asriel for the pic).
The Kanohi Iden (I went with a slightly more compressed look, since the Inika masks have such unusual proportions)
I hope you guys like them, hopefully I’ll have the rest up soon, and as always, constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!
