As a contest auditor, I have to bring up all these entries and look close at them, and I have to say: I never really appreciated the amount of detail put into this. Like, Norik is so small in the center, but when I zoom in I can see he’s just as fleshed out as the rest. Even the little visorak way in the back are so detailed you can almost make out specific breeds! That is fantastic, and I can’t imagine how long it took to draw.
Edit: this is NOT intended as an official approval post, to be clear. Just a personal opinion
Thank you so much for entering! Unfortunately, we’ve detected an issue regarding adherence to the contest rules. We noticed both Gaaki and Bomonga are missing their shields. As per the rules;
As noted in other entries with similar issues, you are allowed to place the shields on their backs (as you have noted that Gaaki having the shield in her hand would obscure Pouks’ spear tip). It does not have to be fully shown, just an indication that the character has one, so part of the shield poking out over Bomonga’s back would suffice.
In addition, it has been decided that for this contest, all six Toa must be fully equipped. As such, Norik needs to have a shield and spear. These can be attached to the character’s back, similar to what you’ve done with Bomonga.
If you could please add the shields and spear to your entry within the next seven days, it’ll be fully accepted and move on to the polls!
Copy that. thank you! I will modify it after this Wednesday. In addition, I would like to ask if I can make some other changes besides adding shields and spears, such as making some color changes.
As detailed more extensively in this response here, while we would are not allowing any more significant changes to any of the entries, we may accept more minor ones if detailed to us ahead of time.
Hello @ToaVictor ,
I am here to notify you of the fact that you have entered the final day of the period for making the requested changes. Please make sure to post them in time.
If you know you won’t be able to make it and need more time, please sent us a PM and we can discuss an extension.
Sorry for my late response!
I’ve been so busy that I’ve been in the lab for weeks, so I don’t have much time. To make matters worse, I mistakenly deleted several layers of my original painting, which made it difficult to be restored.
Could I apply for a two-day extension? If I still haven’t updated the picture after that, then you can regard me as quitting.
I hope this will not affect the progress of the contest too much. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
I’m a big fan of blue Pouks, and a blue toa of stone with a green toa of earth can be a weird but cool couple. No matter what the canon is, I will insist on this color split for my toys.
