And how do you know that? We don’t know anything about those cultures and the mask’s patterns and points can well be represantations of them.
It’s just a post. For now, the rules ask for a new mask, as I clearly stated. It seems that you’re actually the one who lacks understanding.
Listen, I’m arguing a personal complaint here. I’d rather not use runes we can’t decipher to represent these cultures, when it can be physically represented, and well at that.
It’s a post that changes the rules, à la fixing your problem, at least for now.
If you are thinking this is the rule:
That was about removing the option to make it a different mask, not saying you can’t ever use the G2 one, you never couldn’t. I’ve checked around, but if I still missed something and the rule was actually set and has not changed, tell me, and we can discuss this further
That sounds incredibly aggressive and uncivil 
My point of understanding was that we weren’t really listening to each other’s points, we weren’t considering what each other were saying, weren’t taking it to heart. I stated that quite obviously in my post.
Ok, I’ve heard you.
The general rules for the contents are the same: participants have to design a new mask and draw a character (moc) wearing it. For now those are just posts and not changes to the rules.
No, you clearly said that I wouldn’t listen, and that by that you meaned lack of understanding. Trust me, I’m not offended, so there’s no need in smooting that.
Eljay, bro. Can Arthaka have more limbs than just four? I working on something… unorthodox.
I’ll take your word for it, but if you can say which rule says that I’d appreciate it
I would like to ask though, so; @Eljay: is the Mask of Creation from G2 allowed to be submitted in the G1-contest’s art portion, as of right now? Thanks!
sigh. It just feels accusatory, man
I never said you “lacked understanding”, I was saying we weren’t understanding each other, that we weren’t hearing what the other was saying etc…
The point here seems to be gone, luckily. It was simply about the status of unrecognition between our points
That’d be whack and I am totally here for it. I want to see this
Here is my entry, good luck to all participants.
We have no rules against it, however it is worth keeping in mind that multiple limbs like that probably would have been described.
It is.
It wasn’t said he wasn’t a Hecatoncheir, so I think it’ll pass. I want to submit something different than just another big dude.

My entry:
It looks like the original argument was smothered under misunderstanding statements so instead I’ll redirect the convo again:
A lot of people seem to be in favor of Gold or Silver as the mask/secondary color for Artakha, but there’s been at least one contestant so far with White. What do you guys think is the most accurate color for Artakha’s mask/secondary color?
I prefer a gunmetal mask with gold or blue runes but I’m open to other interpretations. The runes would also go on top of the sand green armor, which could be made into decals.
Most likely the winning artwork will have a gold or sand green mask though.
I don’t think Greg has a color in mind.
But me personally, I always pictured it being gold, or at least some metallic color. BIONICLE and LEGO in general has a gold = special rule.
Reading through that mask discussion, and gosh that sounded rather uncivil. Not sure what’s even trying to be won there.
Anyways. I wouldn’t take Greg’s comment as it not being gold, more that he just doesn’t know.
Personally I’m not quite happy with any existing Mask of Creation designs I’ve seen (G2, Khing’s, Galva’s or Onuku’s) and I’d rather have a new one all together, but I like the mask being crown-like.
Particularily, I think there’s two details not captured in any of the designs:
His mask was the most ornate anyone had ever seen – more than just a Kanohi, it was a true work of art. The metallic protodermis from which it was forged was arranged in intricate patterns and designs, each reflecting one of the many cultures that flourished in the universe. The eye slits were angular and pointed, giving him an air of both wisdom and a vague sense of menace."
I think making the mask gold makes the most sense, compared to the Vahi and Ignika, and that gold shouldn’t be present in Artakha’s native colorscheme. This wasn’t a mask he was made with, he won it, I think it should stick out as something special like the golden masks from 2002, else it I feel it loses its legendary air.
I’m not sure the runes are even allowed to be seperately colored. Depending on the rules, mask may need to be one solid color.
As @TheJerminator said, if we’re going to create a new design, we should do one that fits the description. Otherwise, this contest will be disappointing, like the Helryx one.
@Wolk, if it’s the same rules as last time, the mask can be dual-colored.
The one-colour rule is just for painted pieces in the MOC contest. The Art can portray the mask in multiple colours.
Or any ‘piece’ for that matter.
Also, the gist of the argument was whether or not the G2 Mask should even be allowed. One group said it should be banned, and one group said it should be treated like any other piece. Then there was a third, smaller group saying the G2 Mask should automatically be the G1 Mask.
Then it got out of hand.
I think I’d like the Mask to be gold, with Artakha having no gold on himself. As others have said, the Mask of Creation was won by Artakha. It was not made for him. There is no reason for him to have the Mask’s colour on him. Having it be a different colour makes it stand out as a trophy.
And I think that that colour should be gold because it is a Legendary Kanohi.
Though I’m not opposed to the runes being silver or something.
I think an argument can be made for pretty much any colour.
One the one hand, Artakha got the mask after he was built, so it doesn’t necessarily match his colour scheme at all.
On the other hand, Artakha could have easily changed his armour colour to match the Mask.
Which gold though? The two Legendary masks we have are different colours.
This is why I personally like the idea of using the copper used on the Masks of Victory - it’s already an established “special” colour associated with rarity and fine craftsmanship.
I’d personally like to see the mask be metallic sand green, but if it has to be gold, then I’d definitely prefer it to be the only gold on Artakha.
I’m pretty sure that the Vahi and the Ignika are canonically the same gold. Lego just changed their colour pallette.
So, in a physical form, it would probably be new gold. But in-universe, gold is gold.
Though I also like the idea of it being the same colour as the Copper Masks of Victory, which would be a different colour.
