This is my entry for the Helryx canon contest (the first).Toa Helryx Canon contest #1: The First, Part 2 (Art by CT-4472)

I tried to take aspects from the rest of the MOC, like the lower arm armor piece and the lower leg armor piece, to try to fit it into the mask and really make it fit the rest of the MOC. I also tried to really make her look battle-damaged, like in the Bionicle story.

Here is a revised actual art entry for the contest.
[Toa Helryx Art Contest Entry Sketch]
Hey guys, this is my submission for the art portion of the
Toa Helryx canonization contest.
Due to possibly not looking over the rules closely enough and me rushing to post my entry at 5AM my time, my first post on the matter got disqualified.
After much help from @Mesonak for clarification on the rules I pretty much rushed to complete an art sketch for my build, I know it probably pales in comparison to the other entries, but as I spent the better part of my circuit breaker experience making it
I couldn’t just let this go to waste, so that is the explanation for what you see before you.

Now for the mask itself, I tried to go for something that looks somewhat organic without veering to far to the side of the Toa In…

Hello everyone on the Boards!
No, I am not submitting a Pakari.
Took me a while to get this finished because I was having a really hard time getting something I really liked. In the end, I settled with this version. It might not be the most accurate or the most well-made, but it’s a Helryx that makes me happy, and this was ultimately a really fun endeavor!

Here is my Helryx piece!

[ConceptSketches]
For your viewing pleasure, here’s an entire page of the sketches I did that ultimately led to the final concept! The final mask design was sort of an extrapolation of the Mata masks, the Ignika, and the Avohkii, and aimed to have an upward flow and…
My entry! Really cutting it close, but it was super fun! Great job, everybody!

One more over here. Oh my it is already 2:00 am… Best of luck everyone!
Last-minute entry. Just a little summary on what I have tried to do:
Since Toa Mata have very simple mask disigns I needed to do the same
I wanted to create a unque and non-typical mask so such exotic maks like Vahi and adapted Kakama Nuva wouldn’t be so lonely.
I hope it is not obvios, parts of which Kanohi are used here

[side (4)]
[up (4)]
I also slightly modified the MOC itself. List of modifications:
tuned proportions slightly (diminished some armor)
I Pushed forward mechanical and Turaga-like look for they fit the MOC well
Enlarged shield
Added scraps
Actually I were trying to copy “The Legend Reborn” style, but due to lack f time and my own unexperiency they do not look similar.

Hey folks, I wasn’t sure if I had strong opinions on mask designs until about a week ago, but I’ve ended up being a pretty big fan of the final design! Using her mask of power to learn the birthplaces of rahkshi defeated during a battle on Nynrah, I present Helryx–using her mask of psychometry!
[Cannon-Helryx-mask-pose]
I wanted to use shapes that were reminiscent of the 2001 masks to keep the prototype–or at least early days–feel that the design generally has. I was also really enamored by the idea of a crest, and while Helryx always struck me as more of an “industrial pumps” kind of toa of water more so than an “aquatic life” kind of toa of water, I do like it being vaguely shell-shaped.

Thank you for stopping by to read this topic.
I originally drew this concept of a Helryx back in 2015. With the conclusion of the MOC portion of the Helryx contest, I’ve concluded that my old mask concept did not suit the new Helryx so I looked to design a new Mask of Psychometry.
As stated in the linked caption, the initial inspiration for my first iteration came from Helryx’s background as the leader of the Order of Mata Nui so I looked to Axonn’s and Brutaka;s masks as well as pre-Colombian headdresses for inspiration.
For the first round of iterations, I approached several different visual motifs to help define the silhouette. I looked at Khing’s and Galva’s take on the Mask of Psychometry as their masks were prominently used i…

A bit close to the deadline, but she’s in!
I hope that I’ll be allowed to submit a high quality scan when I get the chance, but for now, this is the best I can do for my entry.
The mask takes inspiration from the Scuba Throwbot’s visor. The similarities to the Bull Skull mask were unintentional.
More details (I still don’t know if I can update the phoit with a scan though- @Eljay /@Mesonak , and word on that?):
I went for the style of the original three movies, depicting her organic tissue alongside her mechanical parts. Since the Vahi rusted underwater, and Helryx is a Toa of water who presumably uses tidal waves frequently, I figured that her armor would be rusted as well. The shield pulls inspiration from this Mata Nui symbol:[image…
Question: I just finished her, and I won’t have access to a good scanner 'till tomorrow: could I update her post with one, even though it’ll be after the deadline, since it’ll be the same picture physically?

While I used the winning moc as my primary inspiration, my aim was to include elements from all five finalists, and some semi-finalists, that resonated with me;
The: Mace, Chains, Mata Torso, Ribcage, and a Withered Arm befitting the Disturbingly Frail description.
I apologize for how the colouring pencils turned out, it was a rush to get things done on time!
I’m primarily a sketcher, I have a long way to go if I wanted to match the quality of these other digital artists.
Good luck to everyone who entered!
Close? I’ve never heard that word in my life.
