Petewa Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 In art class, I'm supposed to make a face mask, and I'm the only one in my class who actually wanted it to fit their face, and so now, I'm supposed to paint it, but my art teacher said to draw out the designs onto the masks before painting, and so I decided to do something BIONICLE related with this opportunity, and drew down the key details of one of the most swaggery Kanohi around. Any suggestions on what colour to paint it? 1 Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Either the familiar dark grey or black would do. That's just me, though. Looks good! ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently I spent the entire class trying to get it symmetrical, so I'm gonna have to start painting it tomorrow.

Grungemeister Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 It looks really good. I did something exactly like this a while ago, except I made a Miru. 2 A RUDE AWAKENING - A Bionicle G1 continuation and video-game project(MUSIC COMPOSER) special thx to Inary the Gunhaver for my new username.

Sybre Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hey, that looks really accurate! I'm impressed! I also like ow it can fit on a human face. That should just be a necessity. And just paint it grey, man. Wear some black and grey, tape a working power drill to a staff or thin pole, and then hunch yourself over and call yourself the Turaga. 4 mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petewa Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Wait, so you can't get a hold of the same materials at home? I wouldn't know where to look, would need someone to apply the gauze to the face of (or to apply it to mine) and I don't get that many chances to get to any stores. Black & Purple?

Petewa Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Painted it today, decided to go with bright purple and turaga gray. So, I painted the purple first, and then I made turaga gray on the palette, but once the paint dried, it became gunmetal. Had to take the picture as the bell rung, can't tell why it looks blue in the picture. Still gotta re-draw the lines painted over, add a headstrap.

Petewa Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Finished painting, still need to give it the connector strap, but I'm done painting, the details showed up better in the pictures than I had expected, although the purple still looks blue.

Petewa Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Cool. Got the mask back today, soon as I get home I'm gonna throw on some black stuff and grab a stick. Main problem: My art teacher stacked the masks when he was grading them, meaning that plaster, glitter, and other people's paint got on my mask. had to wash it off and the black paint went screwy in a couple places (apparently it turns back to liquid when water's added) still can't get the glitter off, but I think I managed to cover it up.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Oh I see a classmate in one of them pictures,, hope she signed a waver... Anyway really cool mask there and Loving that you went with the Earth Element one. Is there a reason you only have a hole for your nose and not, Oh I don't know, for your eyes so you can see? Or is the material thin enough you can actually see out of it?

Petewa Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 The hole's there in the nose because I had to be able to breath when the plaster was being layered on my face, there's no holes in the eyes because the plaster was laid to heavily to cut through, partly due to an inside joke. (When my brother an I fight eachother, I'm always blindfolded because apparently sight is an unfair advantage) And then a secondary joke that despite it being a mask of night vision, I can't see.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 An interesting story and the hole for the nose makes sense. We wouldn't want you to suffocate under there. Also that is a cool/cruel irony that the Mask of Night Vision when worn actually prevents all manner of sight. Sounds more like a cursed mask. You know while wearing it your view of the world is perpetually dark. Fun fact: Fighting blindfolded could be an advantage as over time it could strengthen your other senses actually giving yourself a further advantage. 1 "A stranger will always be a stranger unless you give them a chance." || <- My Pokémon | BZPRPG Characters: Po-Matoran Doseki & Nui-Jaga Scorpio; Ga-Matoran Orca Matoran und Panzer: Doseki & Glitch | Marvel RP PC | Mata Nui Monopoly: Come...

Vakuta Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I really like it, but your nose sticking out is very funny and does not seem to fit with the rest of the mask. I know this thread is pretty old, but I was going to make a mask like that and I wanted to see how others had done it. I think when I do mine I might have to add in a nose cover. Can you see out of the mask? If so, you did a great job hiding the eyeholes. Matoro died to save Mata Nui, Lhikan died to save Vakama, Sidorak died... Never mind.
