Mask of Incomprehension (ver. iylv)

[iylv]

UPDATE TO EMERGENCY UPDATE: The fixed mesh is now up on Thingiverse. Redownload it if you have prior to 13th Sept 2023. Also, I need help with creating a stud.io mask pack.

EDIT: Fix at the bottom of this thread. Also

[Evil De-Toa] So in my insomniac state, I decide to hammer out a MOC in stud.io to showcase my new kanohi, and as per @MooCowsRock’s suggestion, it’s inspired by an African Grey Parrot. It’s not my usual gritty render style, cause I finally figured out how to import custom files to stud.io (but I still haven’t figured out exporting it to share). That and I’m literally doing this in the middle of the night because I can’t sleep, so I want to get this out so I can get back to sleep cause I’m gonna have a long day tmr… RIP me.

I mean, it’s always up to (re-)interpretion.

Suppose it was up to you to design its mask power, what would you say is it’s power?

Left is KhingK’s definitive version, and right is my heterodox version. I suppose the fact that I have to annotate it means it really is a different design.

Admittedly, the yin-yang looking indents on the jaw are inspired gothic motifs like this, cause we need more gothic (and art noveau) inspiration in Bionicle. The toa Metru are practically all art deco / streamline moderne designs (especially the Mahiki), so why not other styles.
