Toa Hagah (Art Contest #3: Honor Guard)

Not to be that guy, but to add to the reasons why this artwork should by all reasons be disqualified (and to remind staff should they read this far down, as things have slipped in the past): all four eye colors for the new Hagah have been changed from their models, which constitutes a large enough change that it’s been asked to be remedied at least once before that I’m aware of. Had the artist not reverted the eyes to the colors of the MOCs, the entry wouldn’t of been accepted.

It’s good art, and I truly do appreciate the thought put into it, especially in regards to Bomonga. Unfortunately, good intentions don’t mitigate the fact that you willfully broke major rules to make this. They’re there for a reason, and they can’t be broken because you feel like it. Should this piece slip through the cracks and be accepted into the first round of voting, that’s a failing of the staff, not a success of the artwork.
