Really wish the same could be said of the shoulders. If Kodiak’s Gaaki had won at least, you’d have 2/2/2 split of Metru, Nuva and Knights’ Kingdom shoulders (at least the KK shoulders look similar). And if Kualus/Pouks’ colour is changed to make them the same, you’d also have one colour per shoulder type.
It probably does cross the line, but it would be really cool if Gaaki’s shoulders were made to look like Nuva shoulders. It would make the team look so much more uniform (to me, at least).
I absolutely love this image of all of them together!
I must admit, they look better together than I thought they would. Nice pic.
I would have preferred that Bomonga have a different shoulder armor, so each Toa would have an unique armor.
Because the Toa with lightning powers and organic masks surely must have normal colours, right?
I disagree, I think they look nothing alike. One is flat and smooth, the other big and spiked.
Why are only 3 of them casting a shadow?
I’m thinking… Destral 65!
Because those three were added into the picture from scenes with vastly different lighting and backgrounds.
Part out of curiosity, and partially because I completely missed if this had been discussed before, do changes to eye color constitute a significant, and thereby prohibited, modification to the design?
Neither the comics nor the movies were consistent in eye colors relative to sets (at least 2004-2005), so I guess you have the freedom to change that.
I doubt it. I’d say something like a significant color change would be, say, changing metru blue to sand blue, or adding significant secondary highlights, or something along those lines.
Random idea: what if we give Pouk and Gaaki noble masks so that they can blend in with Norik. That way we have a 1/1 split on noble and great masks.
That’s not a bad idea; that Noble Kadin that you posted looks pretty cool on Gaaki, and Pouks’s mask is already kind of similar to the Noble Kakama.
I’m planning on giving him a Noble Kakama for that reason. As for the Kadin, as I understand, if the mask have a new shape, it will end up as a mask of unknown power.
I like your idea but I think the Noble kakama is a little too smooth to blend with the armors texture. Maybe Galva’s version could work
@Huemus So does that apply to the faxon and mask of sensory aptitude? They’re obviously supposed to be those masks but because they’re not official then should that apply to them? I’m fine with my Noble kadin being “an unknown mask” but I’m just curious for the others
EDITED FOR DOUBLE POST - Spiderus Prime
I think that at the end of the day even if Biosector decided not to acknowledge it, all of the the fans will still “know”. And that may be as good as we can get with it.
The mask of Sensory Fitness is a known shape already, it’s shape is already canon.
The mask of sensory aptitude have his canon draw, and all future art would just add to the gallery of that mask. The Faxon I’m not sure, but I think is similar enough when drawn, to be considered the same mask as Hahli.
All new shapes should end up as “unknown mask”, like the current Gaaki or Pouks masks.
I also will change Gaaki mask since the author requested it. I’ll give her a Great Elda, to have the form of a mask we already known and to maintain the aquatic vibe that the current one gives. As a headcanon, she will be honoring someone in Jovan’s team.
The Lego Magazine about the Inika, narrated by Hahli, said Hewkii was the only Toa of Stone in memory with an armor color scheme other than brown. That doesn’t mean much since the Inika team’s minds were wiped, but it might mean that gunmetal would be rare enough that Pouks would stand out?
In any case: I don’t think the metallic color is what makes the Hagah special, it’s that the armor is forged of precious metals. Theoretically, an ordinary Toa could be the same color, but it wouldn’t be made of the same metals. Maybe the Hagah’s armor is noticeably shinier?
Gaaki in copper looks SICK!
What program did you use to recolor Gaaki? This copper color looks really smooth and natural.
Just for curiosity, did Perp give permission to use his masks design in the art portion?
