Mask of Hype - Revamped!

Legend says that the legendary Kanohi Montatura turns into a mysterious entity known as the Hype Train when it is exposed to energized Protodermis.

 

 

So, after getting great feedback from you guys on my original design of the legendary Kanohi Montatura - or Mask of Hype - I decided to do a more laid-back, smooth approach to it. Well, as smooth as you can get when you're hyped :P.

This new, revamped version was made from scratch, and takes inspiration from the Miru, the Kakama, and my old mask design. Contrary to my previous drawing, which was meant to seem awesome and powerful, this one is more meant to represent the hyped community as it appears in real life - wide-eyed and drooling all over itself ;).

The "mouth" is where most of the Miru inspiration went, and was created so that it looks like a giant smile. You can see where there are differences and similarities to the original, but I think this one more accurately represents hype.

For those who can't read Matoran/are too lazy to translate ( ;)), the Matoran letters on the crest spell out "Bionicle Returns 2015" The ones on top say "Kanohi Montatura", and the ones on bottom say "Join us on the Hype Train".

Here is it without the poster-style:

And here is my favorite representation so far :D:

As I said before, feel free to use this in your sigs on here and other forums - share your hype! And if you want to improve on my design or recolor the mask, I'd be more than happy to see the results.

 

Comment, critique, and enjoy!

 

Made with Microsoft Paint.

Why is this so great? This seems more like a mask of hype, imo. The old one was too legendary and epic looking. This looks more like me when I see a new leaked image. Love the eyes, too, btw. Great job. ^^ You made this in ms paint, right?

 

Edit: maybe this should be the noble version and the old one be the great version. Just a thought. ;)

This one definitely looks like the Mask of Hype. You did a good job redesigning it to make it crazier while still keeping some hints of the old design with the spikes. The drool and the vein pop are both nice touches as well. :P

Hey there everyone!

 

I'm the dude who edited the picture above there, and I just wanted to make an appearance!

 

I like how it turned out, but I screwed up the forehead-vein-popping-thing and it bugs me every time I look at it, sorry about that. I can try and fix it if you want.

 

Anyways, Trizzlers only told me afterwards that you were trying to make it more cartoon-esque, so if I made it look too cool or whatever, I was just forced to as per the fact that I was being perpetually creeped out by those weird eyes he had before :|

 

Tell me what you think!

Yes, I used MS Paint.

 

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I meant to go comical with this, but if you prefer the more serious one that's okay - there's a reason that there is two version!

Thank you so very much! This looks wicked awesome!

Lol... this is just too charming!

 

What's its power? Does it make you even more hyped than I already am? Can't have too much hype when Bionicle's coming back (though I imagine it could get kinda dangerous with some fans...)

The moment you feel the hype enter your mind and body, you know that the Mask of Hype is watching over you... That is its power. It is the commander of all Bionicle hype, and yes, it can be dangerous - so use it correctly! Edited by Jakura Nuva
