Senrab Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Self-voted, even though I have no chance I can't help but think how cool a cutout of pixel Vakama would be. Edited July 23, 2012 by Senrab 3DS FC: 0216 - 1922 - 2231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFlash Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 This is such a hard choice but ultimately, I voted for #7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taria Pakari Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Number 11 gets my vote. Love that mix of set and movie style.I also see I got at least 1 vote so I'm happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Seven just has nice coloring and I like the stones in his hand, although it makes me sad that nine doesn't have any votes, since I almost voted for that one. ~ Corpus Rahkshi: Fang | Hoto | Tube | Tear | Canvas | Garrotte | Reda BZPRPG: Azusai | Mitsuri The Scarabax Library | Flickr | Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xccj Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Wow, there's a surprising number of entries for the Turaga!7 is my favorite one here. The design is very nostalgic but detailed, and the Mata Nui and Makuta stones are a great addition.

Uncle K. Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I really liked eleven, partly because it was drawn the best and mostly because of <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundalings Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I like eleven best. Very classy. I want to THRIVE Not just survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 This was a hard choice. I try not to simply vote for my own entries out of habit, as I like to always consider which entry I really feel deserves the win most, not just which one I'm most proud of. At the same time, when it came down to a choice between entries 7, 10 (my own), and 11, I'm somewhat ashamed to say I chose my own. Entries seven and ten were beautifully expressive, but they simply don't fit with the way I visualize Turaga Vakama. Entry 7 has a very cartoony style, albeit with excellent colors and shading, while Entry 11 just looks so weathered and feeble. His expression lacks the intensity with which I've always imagined Turaga Vakama. Entry 14 is beautiful, but so very heavily stylized that I can't imagine it easily as part of the Brickfair display.I would be amiss if I didn't also mention how much I love the mask design for Entry 8, although the rest of the body feels quite straight and rigid rather than expressive and lifelike. I've stated before in my blog how much I wish BZPower contests operated similarly to the MOC contests on another site I use, in which each user is given a certain number of votes and can distribute them among the entries as they see fit. It feels somewhat upsetting to have to throw the entirety of my support behind the entry I like best, and in doing so completely ignore the other entries which have a lot of imagination and talent behind them. And no, I'm not referring to my own entry when I say this. Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Entity Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 #11 is a beauty and got my vote. Kudos to 14 on originality and also being well done. Entry 7 was also eye-catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Eleven, due to the fact that it's pretty much how I thought Vakama should be depicted. avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
