Toa Hagah Canon Contest Survey and Final Q&A

@TheJerminator

No, the main point of the Art Contests was to make a version of the character that BS01 was happy with. The whole “changing Kanohi” was an unrelated rule, implemented because TTV didn’t want to require custom parts.

No:

@Eljay

The first will be the MOC contest, which will design the character sans their mask and/or weapon. After one has been selected, a second contest will begin to illustrate the character in 2D or 3D* with a Kanohi mask and weapons (if no weapon had been included in the MOC). This second Kanohi contest will last for two weeks.

The main thing of the Art part is Kanohi. With Hagah it is not that important because it does not define an actual Kanohi shape but only a Hagah Kanohi shape, but still. I also give reasoning about Artists being left with little place for creativity, in case MOCer says “no” in the main post.

@TheJerminator

What will you do if Kualus has a stupid metallic colour, or stupid shoulders?

Kanohi is the most important of all separate features of an entry. It will appear on a separate page on BS01 and stuff. With Hagah Kanohi are not so important though, so yes that argument is only an add-on to the main one.

@TheJerminator

But doesn’t that create the exact same problem that you pointed out with the staggered voting?

No, because there is 5-7 day period before each wave of polls, in which MOCer can slighlty adjust his creation to better fit with those Hagah that were defined in previous contests, such as changing armor color or spear-tip shape. I said it in step 5 of the lower list of my post.
