Bohrok Kool Contest: Mocs & Art Welcome!

Everybody knows the Bohrok Kal sold horribly. They were clones of the original Bohrok. This is bad. Not everybody hated them, but yeah.

Coincidentally (okay not so much :P) the Bionicle Paracosmos is going to have an opportunity soon to include both the original Bohrok Kal, identical to canon, AND six further-mutated Bohrok Kal. The only guideline I have is that these mutated Kal are larger than normal Bohrok, and each is mutated in a different way.

That's what this contest is all about. Redesign the Bohrok Kal. The winning six entries will be used in upcoming Paracosmos stories, (probably by the end of the next epic, Endless Blue, a short story to take place during that epic, and the epic after that).

Rules:


1) There are three main categories; MOC, Comp Art, and Drawing. Two winners will (most likely; depending on amounts entered) be chosen from each category.

2) There will be six total winners; one for each of the Bohrok Kal.

3) Each person may win only once, however:

4) You may, for this contest, enter up to six entries. This can be six different Kal, variations on the same Kal, even a generalized design entered with up to six variations (such as different handshields and coloration). You can mix and match, enter multiple categories, whatever -- as long as you have only six maximum entries.

5) The one thing you may NOT do is use the standard Bohrok design.

6) You may enter either new or old MOCs, but this contest won't have separate categories for new vs. old. Same could go for art -- old or new are welcome, doesn't matter.

7) This contest is for the appearance, not the storyline of it. I'll have my own (classified) explanation for the existence of these six different Kal.

Guidelines:

1) Aim for larger than the original Bohrok. They don't have to necessarily be titans, though that's cool too, but they should be biggish.

2) Aim for "cool" appearance, whatever that means to you.

3) Scary is good too.

4) Whether you want to keep the silvery appearance is up to you. Anything goes, as long as it is somehow "elite" compared to a normal Bohrok.

How will winners be chosen? Well, two ways. One, Ojhilom and I will arrange the entries in their categories in order from best down, as we deem them. Two, if there are multiple best ones of a single Kal, we will reserve the right to rearrange and possibly even contact the members in question and ask them if we can convert a Kal into a different Kal (if it would fit). We'll try to judge the MOCs and art as objectively as we can, so enter what you like best. :)

Entry Period:

Contest Begins now, ends noon August 3 (a Monday). That's threeish months to enter.

Lol. Three months to go and I already finished my moc. I did pretty much the same thing with the blue contest.

 

Luckily, I had 1 kal, so I could do this. I'll post the entry tomorrow.

You know, It's funny how Bohrok-Kal; who are mutated Bohrok, are being mutated again. It's a extra-mutated Bohrok! :P

Entry Name: Nuhvok Kal

Category: MOC

Explanation: The idea is that it can 'suck' in anyone or anything that gets in its way and crush it with its immense Gravity power. I dunno why it hasn't got a head. :P

Would I be allowed to change this pic in the future, providing I don't change the actual MOC?

You said that we weren't allowed to keep the bohrok design. Does this mean that it can't look like a proper bohrok (what with the white fangs, clear head, shields etc) or just not be a set-bohrok with a new set of shields? Because the MOC I have planned is essentially a Tuma-sized customized Tahnok, with most of the signature features intact.

By the way Bones, when can we expect to see the winners of the Blue MOCs contest?

Well the Monstery Mystery SS/announcement I'm aiming for later this month. Blue MOCs winners probably after that. Ojh and I haven't officially decided winners of that one yet.

 

Would I be allowed to change this pic in the future, providing I don't change the actual MOC?

You'd be allowed to change the MOC too, as this is just a casual blog contest and such, but yeah. That's fine.

Oh, that is fine -- I meant you can't just build a Bohrok exactly as the building instructions from the official set go and call it a MOC. :P The signature features can definately be there (though they don't need to be).

Wow, I'm actually relieved I didn't enter Blue MOCs.

However, I do have a question. You said we couldn't use the Bohrok design. Would a completely custom design that looks like the original be okay? So basically like a custon Toa torso, but for Bohrok. The limbs are also custom, and I can customize the head if necessary. Here's a picture of the body and head, and here and here are the arms and legs.

- :l: :flagcanada:


Edit: Oh yeah, and there are modified parts on that MOC, namely cut fibre optic cables. Would that be allowed?

I am not going. to enter this,(I stink at mocs, except for this indy zombie MINIFIGURE i finished 2 days ago, using a drill that can bore thru rock, and a saw. but that is a differnt story.) if phovos the raptor entered this, he would probably win all six kal. look at the two he has made.

So we can do anything as long as it has a Bohrok Kal or Bohrok head?

Doesn't even need that. :) Anything as long as it's in some way meant to be "what you imagine the Kal could have been". So in the storyline moments in that comic scene above, before you ANYTHING about what the Kal would look like, what could you have visualized?

Captain Cool simply cannot resist Cool things, and this contest is definitely cool! cptcool_good_jorb.gif

 

However Captain Cool needs to ask questions before Captain Cool enters.

 

Captain Cool has created a new kind of 'Nuhvok Kal', one that doesnt have just two forms but three!

1 - 2 - 3

Captain Cool Needs to know if this is allowed.

Just wondering...

 

I don't have a Bohrok set (since they came out way before I became a fan). Could I make something that looked remotely like a Bohrok and still enter it, even if it didn't have any pieces from the original Bohrok?

 

Also, could it be a slightly different color? Say, like yellow or something...
