It’s even harder to find them in metal blue.

Do the hagah shields have to be held by the left hand in the art? Or can they be switched to the other hand?

I’d say that should be left up to the artists. :stuck_out_tongue:

Since Norik and Iruini were depicted holding their shield with one hand or the other, I don’t see a reason why it should be mandatory. But I could be wrong.

Is that first picture mirrored? The Rhotuka holder on Norik’s shield is backwards, and I can’t see Iruini’s since its lower half seems to vanish into thin air behind Norik.

Well, that’s the way it appeared on the comic cover. The comic art could’ve been mirrored.

Worth noting, their shields are in their right hand throughout the comic.

Wow! Thank you everyone!

I’m really blown away by the results here - and in an overwhelmingly positive way! I’d have been satisfied with just about any of the finalists taking the top spots, but these 3 other entries that I have the pleasure of sharing the podium with are amazing picks, and I can’t wait to see all the artwork!

I can’t stress how cool it is seeing other people already building not just something that I made - but assembling the whole team. I knew that I’d like this line-up, but seeing them come together in the same space has really sold me on them as a unit.

I hope to enter something for the art contest and would personally love to see the whole team adorned in uniquely coloured metallic armour between them, but I know some people have a different vision for them in mind…

So for those of you rooting for 2/2/2 or 3/3 splits; here are some popular potential alternate colour options I threw together for Kualus to get the wheels turning:

Where did you get the sword? :open_mouth:

Oooh, I really like how the gunmetal one’s eyes pop. That’s rather good.

Also, congratulations! :tada: :blue_heart:

You don’t have to do digital art, but I think you should just start practicing

True, but I think that’ll give me the best effect

I hope Kualus stays metal blue. Not just because it looks nice, but also because it’ll push research into metal blue paints which will be useful for the community at large.

Yo, a couple quick questions (I hope this is the right topic to ask this):

4. A minimum of two (2) images must be provided. One of the mask, containing the front, side, and top view, and one of the winning MOC wearing it.

I’m gonna guess we can just ignore this for this part of the contest, right? I’m pretty sure, but I don’t want to skip this and end up regretting it.

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.

Again, pretty sure of this, but does the bolded part include Miramax-esque stylizations? Like just a slit in the mask for a mouth

Meanwhile Kualus awakes from a fever dream about birds
