I'm not too surprised that they got inspiration for the Mask of Earth from gorillas, but that's not the only thing that resembles a gorilla. I think his body also somewhat looks like a gorilla, and Gorzan, who is a gorilla himself. I guess a gorilla appearance suits the big character type. 

 

Also, the concept art at 1:33 is awesome!

Oh you noticed that concept looked an awful lot like some of the Designs used here in the BZPRPG. That thin humanoid armored fleshy feel...

 

Also I concur I want that Onua concept art right along with that pamphlet he was holding up...

"A stranger will always be a stranger unless you give them a chance."

The one piece of concept art that was in color shown here kind of reminded me of Lockdown from Transformers 4. Not that that is a bad thing, because I still thought it was really cool.

 

Anyways, it is really neat to see what the creators used for inspiration for Onua. 

Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

It's interesting that Onua is based on a gorilla, which I could tell by the physical appearance of his body. I always thought that Onua is inspired by Hulk and Thor from Marvel, but a gorilla is unexpected. Speaking of that idea, he reminds me of the CHI Gorgon set from Legends of Chima in 2013. Well, they do look similar, too. Anyway, I love the concept art. The pictures look cool!:)
