Hey everyone! Just happened to be working on some Metru redesign right before this contest, so I thought I’d give this a shot!
[Kool-aid and HumungousBumongous]
I chose to depict Bomonga and Kualus with body-types that went against the typical choice for Toa of their respective elements. Toa of Earth are often burly and rough, while Bomonga is more tall and almost regal-looking. Toa of Ice are often built with skinny frames, while Kualus is the shortest of the Hagah.
I’ve built all the hagah around a year ago now, and the limbs and armor I’ve given them in this illustration are similar to that. The choice of armor pieces and color are paired. As the deputy, Bomonga sports the same armor as Norik. Kualus and Pouks have pearl dark grey armor, etc.

Here is Bomonga
[Bomonga_2]
[Bomonga]
He is meant to have a smol boye aesthetic so that it is a fun juxtaposition to his mask of growth. The Avohki’s on his shoulders are meant to be thematic and symbolic of how the Hagah rescued the mask of light from the Brotherhood of Makuta. He is silver because he is buildable in silver without painting parts and also cos black and silver kinda evokes stealth. You can make everything but the staff in flat dark gold though, although it would be expensive with the mask of light shoulders. He should be the exact height of Whenua metru head to metru head.
Feel free to change staff, mask, and armor color. I would prefer if armor stayed the same color so you could make it IRL but still consent to changing it. With the mask I would encourage ppl to get …
entry for bomonga will add kualus and then studio files for both by 11:59. sorry if me being last minute is inconvenient at all
all my files and pics for both entries were finished last night and are now in the topic

Here’s me, as always, with a terrible photos that are simultaneously overexposed and underlit. Despite being finished before the contest officially began, I’m only entering last minute because… I couldn’t really be bothered.

CHANGE COLOR? Nah
CHANGE MASK? Nope
CHANGE SPEAR? Yes. In fact, I recommend it.

Yo just a heads up, you need to consolidate those into one topic.

Ok even closer to deadline now haha, well here we go, one thread now, added a render with their metallic feet (are they boots if they are armor? hmmm) Explanation is in the topic.
[Toa Hagah]
For the Toa Hagah I tried to make designs that would reflect what LEGO may have actually made as sets at the time, I even tried to limit myself to pre-2006 pieces (with a few exceptions). This way I would ensure that they would fit in with the two existing Toa Hagah sets. However, as they are recruits from various Toa teams, I tried to also work in details to make them at least a little unique from each other and reflect their powers or characters.
I initially created MOCs for the characters but that was before the official rules dropped, so I remade the characters in Stud.io for these final designs which I think was a good idea (however I have included the originals at the end). Please forgive my two mistakes: Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the Spinners in Stud.io . Also I t…

After a lot of procrastinating, I have finally completed my Toa Hagah:
These are my Toa Hagah entries. Breakdown photos have been provided in the form of full instructions.
The main goal of my design process was to give each Hagah a unique metallic colour that would make them stand out from other Toa. With that, let’s start with the one that stands out the most:
Pouks:

A few notes on the design philosophy I’ve been implementing:
I’ve been attempting to make these designs so that all six Hagah have an equally-proportioned number of leg/arm shapes, shoulder armor shapes, chest armor shapes, and metallic colors spread throughout the whole team.
The way I’ve proportioned these ratios out in the current version is as follows: …
Quick Heads-up: I’m editing it to fix an issue with Bomonga’s Stud.io render not showing-up.

It seems that I’m the first one to enter an art entry, so I hope I’m doing this right.
Hello there, I present you my submission for the Toa Hagah art contest.
[Toa Hagah 6]
He wanted to show them in some kind of battle formation, ready to go. The Kraahkan in the background represents Teridax’s presence and threat on the Toa, either deceiving them with lies or deceiving them with mind control (he is not actually physically there, I am not implying that at some point Makuta takes the form of a giant Kraahkan).
MOC changes
The first thing I wanted for the team was an equal armor color ratio, and since the disput for that was beetween gunmetal Pouks and metal blue Kualus, I end up chocing metal blue for both. This color works surprisingly well with Pouks, and also give a more precious metal look than gunmetal (although I’m not sure what precious metal).
