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:

“Why us?” asked Iruini.
“You’ve fought him before. You’ve beaten him before,” Helryx replied.

The group shot is based on Randy Elliot’s iconic Comic Book cover:

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).

My entry to the contest, best of luck to all entering!
Hi all, here’s my entry for the art portion of the Hagah contest, hope you like it
[ToaHagahAlt]
So, for this I did change some things:
Metallic colors - I understand this might be an unpopular choice with some due to excessive part painting, but I’m gonna be honest, the 1/1/1/1/1/1 color split looks awesome. It really makes each member stand out against one another and even if parts have to be painted… Weren’t they going to be with masks anyway?
Gaaki’s mask - The original MOC creator wishes for it to be changed, so I did so. This mask is a design by Perpetual and was used for an entry , and a turnaround for it can be found below. It’s very nice.

Here’s my entry, thanks for taking a look!
Hello! Here’s my art entry!
[Rothanak_Toa hagah small]
This scene depicts the Hagah guarding a Makuta fortress in a valley carved by lava. They stand guard at the arrival of an unseen foe and Kualus summons some Fikou friends in preparation. Storm clouds loom above foreshadowing the battle to come.
I kept the speartips the same because I though that they matched the character of the mocs well, but I changed the masks for gaaki and pouks. I went for gunmetal instead of keeping the metallic blue because I felt that as protectors of Makuta their armor would be darker to reflect that as opposed to colorful metals.
Gaaki’s Mask:

This is a mask I designed a long time ago and I’m repurposing it because the designer of gaaki’s moc wanted the mask to be changed. I felt this had…

Hello,
Here’s my entry for this contest. Hope you enjoy!
Hello,
Here is my entry for the Bionicle Canon Contest #3: Honor Guard, Part 2.
[Toa Hagah Final]
So, a little context and explanation to my entry:
Overall, I wanted to depict the Toa Hagah in the scene that defined their entire further lives and the lives of everyone in the Matoran Universe. As soon as I heard this contest was going to be a group shot, I’ve had this idea in my head. I’m really happy with how it came together. I also really found it important that everything pictured here is from existing canon, from the Makuta fortress to even the Rahi bird.
For their metallic colors I tried the 1/1/1/1/1/1 and 3/3 distributions, but eventually the 2/2/2 distribution turned out to be visually the nicest in my opinion. Because of this 2/2/2 distribution, I also tried to do this for t…
