Win An Original, Exclusive Kanohi Mask!

Well, if this isn't a bolt out of the blue...

 

About a year and a half ago, I drew this mask.

("Ooh!")

 

After recently reading bonesiii's blog entry Vector Art In Powerpoint: Quality, Inexpensive, Easy with great interest, I felt inspired to try my hand at transforming my sketch into a professional-quality image.

 

I wasn't content to use Powerpoint exclusively. For one thing, the Office gradient tool is extremely limited in functionality. Since I own a copy of PhotoShop Elements 2.0 (legally bought for $90 CAD like 5 years ago), I felt free to exploit powerful raster tools to supplement the convenience of vector graphics.

 

Here's the finished product, a highly tuned meld of vector and raster methods:

("Aah!")

 

To celebrate the achievement, Hedgehog Hill is hosting its first. Contest. EVAR.

 

The challenge: come up with a name and a power for this brand-new, never-before-seen Kanohi mask!

 

The rules:

 

Post your entries in one (1) comment.

 

Enter as many names and powers as you want. If you want to add more entries, simply edit your comment.

 

Deadline for entries: November 30, 2007.

 

Entries will be judged by me.

 

One (1) winning entry will be announced.

 

The winner receives the exclusive right to use this image (or an image derived from said image) in any way they choose. Rights extend to all source material in digital form, in Powerpoint (*.ppt) and PhotoShop (*.psd) file formats.

 

So, what are you waiting for? Put those creative juices to work!

 

Comments on the mask as art should be directed to the topic in General Art.

Kanohi Valloni, Mask of Nightmares

Description: Sometimes called the brother mask to the Olisi, the Valloni alows it's wearer to trap it's victem in a mental illusion controled by the wearer, during witch he can inflict any terror or torture he can imagine opon his victom. The illusion cannot be broken but one with a strong mind and will may realize that what he is seeing is not real and wait it out. Needs eye contact to work and the user cannot move while generating the illusion (which is why you can just wait it out) but neither can the victem.

Mask heat radiation (?) user feeds mask elemental energy to radiate heat around it for as long the energy comes. For a fir toa the toa uses the mask to radiate heat at atleast half the energy cost of what it would've taken without the mask.

 

Kanohi Sturthum ( Stoor ( as in poor)- Thum ( as in thump))

Mask of Barriers ( user creates barriers wherever they please. the barriers last forever, for they have a set amount of "life" in them and must be literally destroyed. only user can see them for they are invisible, though user can create them with other materials. if user is close by a barrier he/she made, then user can give it elemental energy to boost its "life". Only elite toa get this mask for they must be careful to always take their barriers down (or some matoran will be happily walking along when *thump!*)).

Kanohi Siraken-- Great Mask of Penitence

Allows the user to take pain or physical damage for anyone whom the user can see (either by natural or unnatural means). Noble form merely allows the user to take pain, not physical damage.

 

Kanohi Kaxil-- Great Mask of Transmutation

Allows the user to convert any Toa element into any other.

 

Kanohi Kiveli-- Great Mask of Healing

Allows the user to heal the pain and physical damage of another. Noble form only allows the user to alleviate pain.

 

Kanohi Terepex-- Great Mask of Possession

Allows the user to inhabit the body of another with whom the user is in physical contact. The user literally becomes the mind of the other, thus their physical body ceases to exist while the mask is in effect. The Noble form can only be used on unconcious targets.

 

Kanohi Perehu-- Great Mask of Endurance

Allows the user to sustain less pain or physical damage from something that would normally inflict both. Noble version merely allows the user to sustain less pain.

 

More to come. ;)
