I really think the GBs were so annoyed by Karzahni constantly pestering them for a mask as a participation award so they took whatever scraps they can find and make it into a mask.
And then Karzahni inserted all of his dreams and wishes that will never come true into the mask as a way to cope with his loss.
Is it allowed just to copy a photo from all of the ones provided by the winner and turn them into a drawing, or tracing them, I think that shouldn’t be allowed, to encourage creativity.
And also, can we include other characters in the background?
This contest has motivated me a lot, to the point of wanting to participate, although I’m still not sure, since I am not a great artist. I think the most complex thing will be to create a new mask.
But we all know that it should be gold to match the others Legendary Masks (wink, wink).
5. We encourage your entry to be recognizably within the BIONICLE world. However, we have no restriction on art styles. 5a. While we accept any style, we do not permit any character artwork featuring any characters that appears too human. Examples of that would be a lack of technical/BIONICLE pieces or elements, or human faces on Kanohi.
Does this also include faces that are more like the first three Movies? Organic elements tied in with the mechanical?
For example, like this piece of Toa Lhikan I’ve drawn.
IIRC, an entry for the Helryx art utilized purple “tissue” to simulate the miramax film style and had no issues. Your Lhikan seems to emulate that general style, so I don’t see why it would be a problem. And since Turaga Dume’s movie design was used in a 2008 comic
there is a precedence for those movie designs popping up outside of that medium. But I may be mistaken @Mesonak@Eljay
An argument could be made that that was stylized, however minor. It’s trickier to pick out some of the individual pieces on the arms. It’s not very original, but I would say it is within the rules.
Copying the pose is completely okay, if a bit unoriginal.
Does rule 6b also apply, if you create the base model in one of those programs (for having accurate part models) and then further edit it in Blender? (e.g. Materials, posing, the occasional part edit, custom mask ofc and custom background scenery)
I’ll atleast use a 3D rendering as a perspective reference for a drawing, if that’s allowed.
Weren’t it said before the moc contest, that the winning entry could be any green and any other color besides the green, because in the final art poll, the entries should all be just grey-green/sand-green, because Greg said that Artakha had no additional colors?
