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.
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.
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.
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.
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 meant to ask this here a couple days ago, but I completely forgot about it.
As I’m sure everyone here knows, the recent Toa Hagah contest canonized the appearances of the four remaining Toa Hagah, including their masks. Kualus’s mask is in the shape of a Mask of Sensory Aptitude, while Gaaki’s is in the shape of a new mask entirely.
Bomonga and Pouks are in a gray area; while their masks were intended by their designer (@Galva_Nize) to be variants on the Faxon and Kakama, this piece of backstory was not canonized with their appearances, and these masks are officially recognized as being new shapes entirely, in the same vein as Gaaki’s.
Would there be any interest in a Ask Greg topic to have these designs canonized in-story as variants, or would people prefer to leave them as unknown shapes?
Given that A) they’re pretty obviously meant to be those masks, and B) Kualus’ mask is already considered to be definitely the MoSA, I’d like to see Pouks and Bomonga bee officialized as well.
