Onua's is great, but that is a lot of purple

I feel like if you took out the background colors from Pohatu and Onua they would be very bland. So my vote would be on Gali. I could probably do a panel or two once I deconstruct my Le-Metru mosaic from last year.

Okay, let's talk colors. The Gali set is actually azure, but the only time those colors would translate to the mosaic would be the shoulder and upper leg bits, which concievably could be done using 1x2 bricks in dark azure, which have been availible on the pick-a-brick wall. Would anybody object to using that color? (Other switches I would make would be to change dark blue to blue, and maybe the dark green to dark blue.) The background could just be swaths of white and light gray.

 

Onua's background could also get changed to grayscale pretty easily (he only has four background colors to worry about) but the purple does stand out. I know I have a large collection of medium lavender now, maybe not enough to do the full thing but it could make a dent. (Also, Onua could get squeezed down to 2x3 baseplates so heck I might try this one anyway.)

 

Pohatu has like five background colors, so it would be possible to recolor the background into something that better contrasts with his brown. Lots of recoloring potential here.

 

I prefer Gali, but it helps that she's my favorite character and is in a pose that really shows off her design.

 

If you don't like the LEGO.com video player, all the videos are on the official LEGO YouTube channel.

The biggest problem with the Onua mosaic is I can't see his mask. It's just some torso flailing around.

 

I like Pohatu's the best, as Gali's still seemed fuzzy when zoomed out, but when taking a second look I think it will still be fine (if you can gather 12 slots).

 

I don't think making the backgrounds greyscale would add anything to the image. As they are, it acts as an elemental backdrop.
