Well, hello there. My name is en_1gma, and this is my entry for the Battle for the Gold Mask. I made this thread for two reasons - to acquire feedback for my entry, and to not have my entry post be a page long. Anyways, my entry's name is Saviant. Gallery: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=550084 I'll start off with his story. Saviant is an enigmatic (pun intended) being that was created from (2015) Makuta's Mask of Ultimate Power. After being launched, the MOUP took a hard fall somewhere in Okoto, and that hard fall left a crack in the MOUP. The mask was very unstable, very powerful, and contained all elements - so, from the crack, it began to leak out raw, golden power. The raw power took weeks to form Saviant - a gigantic being, and was formed from those same elements. However, before the power completed Saviant, his head - his mind as well - was made. Saviant now had a mind of his own, and he left in search of land to conquer, but he left before the power could complete him. Having his mind composed of Shadow, he had a desire for destruction among the land. A few days before the Lord of Skull Spiders found the Mask of Ultimate Power, the mask - having a mind itself, similar to the Ignika - started to heal the crack in itself. The Toa must be ready to face Saviant; for he is a deadly force to be reckoned with. He has a strong resistance to each element, except for the Legendary Elements - Time, Life, and Creation. Saviant's weak spot is in his chest, as his chest is the most incomplete of all of his body. Alright, that's the end of his story. I feel like I had more to type, but oh well. On to his model! Left shoulder - Ice - Color(s): White I started here. I had to later make heavy upgrades to it because I had thought it was too small. Left forearm - Sonics - Color(s): Black, Gray I continued on Sonics with the intent of it looking like a stereo - after all, Sonics is sound. Left hand - Psionics - Color(s): Dark Blue, Gold I figured I'd make Psionics the hand because Psionics is basically psychokinesis, so Saviant can have psychic powers. Right shoulder - Stone - Colors(s): Brown I'm pretty proud of the Stone part. I did way better on it than I expected I would. Right forearm - Plasma - Colors(s): Orange, White I had to scrap what I had when I started on Plasma, as I thought it was too... bland. Right hand - Iron - Colors(s): Burnt Orange, Black I didn't really know what color would be Burnt Orange, so I just used Bright Light Orange. Left thigh - Water - Colors(s): Blue SO MANY MASKS! Left shin - Magnetism - Color(s): Black, Light Gray I tried to make it look like a big hunk of metal stuck to a magnet. I think I did pretty good. Left foot - The Green/Jungle - Colors(s): Green, Blue I didn't have many Dark Blue liftarms, so I mixed some black in there. I thought three colors would look weird, but it looks pretty good. Right thigh - Earth - Color(s): Black I added some pieces of Stronius to give Earth a rocky feel. Worked, huh? Right shin - Gravity - Color(s): Black, Purple I decided to compose Gravity completely out of liftarms only - to represent how Gravity is always straight. It is never unstable, only in space, but they're inside a giant robot, on an even more giant planet. I only have a few purple Bionicle pieces, so this was slightly a challenge. Right foot - Electricity/Lightning - Color(s): Blue, White Not much to say here, except that I'm happy with the result. Left torso side - Air - Color(s): Green or Dark Green I didn't have any Dark Green liftarms (besides from Nidhiki, but there are not many in him), so I decided to use Dark Bluish Gray liftarms, because Dark Bluish Gray is in almost every Air set. Look at Kongu. Now look at Kongu Mahri. Now, look at Lewa Phantoka. Right torso side - Fire - Color(s): Red Not much to say here as well. Head - Shadow - Color(s): Black, Dark Red Very happy with the end result! I added the black Hero Factory Brain to indicate rarity. Also, I kind of think he looks like Shadow the Hedgehog. Didn't made it like that, but it came out like it. Done! I don't want to be judged upon my rank. I don't want to lose or be overlooked because I'm not a premier member, or I just joined, or I don't have a signature. I want to be judged upon my build. I've known about BZP for a long time. I am a true fan, I have a big collection, I have a vast knowledge of the story, and I put as much effort as I could into this. I worked about 20 days straight on this. My determination is strong, or at least I think so. Honestly? I don't care if I win that golden mask or not. When I first started on this project, which I entitled Project Saviant, I had told myself that I will win. But, while I was working on it, I began to think that who cares if I don't win it? That would mean that some other big fan and amazing MOCist would get that awesome mask. And I would be happy for them. So, that was what really drove me to build this. I was also applauded by my family for my incredible attitude.[/font][/color] I apologize that my hand is in the way of the Ice shoulder, I didn't realize I had my hand there when the picture was taken. An uncovered picture of the Ice shoulder is in the gallery. I also apologize that I didn't provide a solid color background, it was far too big to have one. I just would like to say thank you to my friends of Instagram for helping/supporting me through this long journey. Those people would be - hail_acheron, bionicle_mech, samdoesmocs, ihoffbro, toa_kratz, and bionicleretold I highly suggest you go follow them! Sorry if this defies the rules of staying on topic, but these people are true friends to me and they helped me through this. I thought I'd mention them in thanks for their support. FAQ: Q: It looks incomplete. Why is that? A: It looks incomplete not because it is incomplete, but because it was made to look incomplete. If you are wondering why it was made to look like that, please read the story. Q: Why did you have to hold it? A: Pretty self-explanatory. It was far too heavy to hold itself up. I also did have a time constraint, so I was not able to add functioning pistons to hold him up. Q: Did you create him yourself? A: Yes, of course I did. I would not be posting him if not. Q: Hey! The cloth on his head is not LEGO! A: Yes, it is. It comes with the Vezon & Fenrakk set. Q: Why are some parts detailed and some parts not? A: That is because Saviant is both physically and mentally unstable. For example, he is very indecisive about what he wants to do. Q: I noticed that the left side of Saviant are the colors of Wairuha, and the right side of Akamai. Did you do this purposely? A: Actually, I did not. I had only realized that I had done so when I was close to finishing. If you really, really know a lot about Bionicle, you'll also notice that the forearms and shins are the elements of their respective Bohrok-Kal. The feet apply for the torso. Q: You must of planned for the torso to have the colors of the Kaita masks. Tell me, did you? A: Again, I did not! I promise. I was very indecisive about the elements of the torso, and after I decided, I realized that. Thank you for actually reading this. I wish the best of luck to all the other participants. Feedback, both negative and positive, is highly appreciated! :]
