BIONICLE G1 Canon Contests Discussion & Questions

Since we’re comparing mask designs, Galva recently redesigned his (again) and I wanted to compare with other designs such as red star forge’s.
Galva’s:

Red Star Forge:



This was supposed to be the mask of psychometry but I used it for my Tuyet because of it’s squid-like appearance.

Yeah I’m sorry but none of these work for me. A major component of if I like a mask is “Does it work for other Toa and Matoran?” Now maybe the designs could work for other Toa, but I could never see a Matoran wearing one of these. It’s like a Matoran wearing a Zatth or a Garai. This is also why I have a problem with the Ignition Trilogy masks in general, since most of them feel like they were just designed for that character. Like the Mask of Charisma would look ridiculous on a Matoran.

Edit: The 2nd and 3rd ones are close to the style of the older masks, but still feel off. Like someone drawing a character from memory off.

I like this one

It seems like that for the most part, the “popular masks” have been knocked out in the art rounds of the contests. The only exception was the hagah contests where the masks were locked in for 2/4 of the toa. The kakama did make it through for pouks though.

I don’t think those can be used in the contests

Thanks, that’s what I was going for. Now I just have to build a Tuyet. Oh and My mask is now available for use in contests here: Toa Tuyet's Great Mask of intangibility, Kanohi Ahp by Rothanak - Thingiverse

This is a good design, but oddly enough, it feels like a merger of Khing’s mask and Galv’s first take. I kinda like how his first attempt came out looking like the Predator, even if it doesn’t really fit Tuyet herself; this one sorta loses that, but it also works really well for this individual character.

Yeah…not sold on these. I just don’t think RSF has a lot of good masks in general, much less ones that fit Tuyet.

For once I would actually not have anything against this 3D design, because I feel like it looks similar enough to my custom head design to be workable for me personally.

(by the way you may also use this design)

I’ve been thinking about how StudentScissors used one of the trans-blue Nui-Rama Ruru for his Tuyet, and I think it’d be neat to get another commonly-transparent mask with a visor eyepiece like the Kanohi Kaukau for the Mask of Intangibility. The only downside is that both commonly-transparent masks would be primarily worn by Toa of Water.

That’s a good idea. Can someone make Tuyet mask that can use the Toa Mahri visor?

Here is some more inspirational material for a Tuyet design.

I’ll try modding mine so it’s an option

If you have a great MOC and you just don’t like the Mask design to me, I’ll vote for that MOC in the hope that they will be replaced by something else in the Art-contest.

Selecting mask is not important for me, at least in this contest method. :wink: :revolving_hearts:

That would be awesome

100% agree with you. As long as the mask is some shade of blue, I’m fine with it being a placeholder.

Yeah same here. My Tuyet uses a faxon as a placeholder mask.

Ok that looks better than I could’ve imagined, great job!

Side note, should Naho’s Huna have a visor as well? Since the visor is meant to keep water out of a Toa’s face and Naho’s biggest moment is swimming for help, I think it probably should.

I think it would be cool, but we shall see what version of the huna is most popular and if it will work with a visor without changing it too much

This looks miles better with the visor in it. Originally I was pretty iffy on the design but this is great.

Thanks, It works! But there is a small gap between the visor and the forehead because the digital model of the visor is not completely accurate.

still looks cool!
