Tang Mo concept photos
The Tang Mo have houses, thanks to RA, but they need items, armour and weapons to make them an interesting culture to visit. Since Polynesian art is hugely under-represented in films, games and media in general, I think it would be a great inspiration for our modelers:
Weapons made from shark's teeth: http://therionarms.com/armor/sharks.jpg A shield: http://www.primitivetribalart.com/Images/B196Shield.jpg A collection of weapons, masks and shields: http://images.rgs.org/webimages/0/0/1000...011269.jpg Carved statues (in my lore for the Tang Mo, these would be used instead of books to record history): http://www.palmfascinations.com/Copy-of-...atue-2.jpg http://lh5.ggpht.com/_YV4xvTozoiw/RjVV0I...C00525.JPG http://www.cdislands.com/photos_frenchpo...r10208.jpg http://www.acclaimimages.com/_gallery/_i...statue.jpg http://www.tradenote.net/images/users/00...416407.jpg http://www.clicksitebuilder.com/home2/pa...rtpg.2.jpg Masks (could be worn instead of armour): http://www.halloweenexpress.com/images/MI9708.jpg http://www.amoenitas.co.uk/23vanuatu/mask.jpg http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51...AA280_.jpg http://ebayimages.goantiques.com/dbimage...407083.jpg Obviously the masks and statues would need to be modified so that they show monkeys instead of humans, but that can be done at the design stage. Thoughts?

RE: Tang Mo concept photos
Hmm, i never thought the tang mo in this way especially when contrasted to the nice and orderly stilt houses. None the less, this opens up many new ideas for me. Thanks deeza.

Being from New Zealand a country in the pacific i know quite a bit about the pacific including Polynesia and know that i think about it the tang mo have a really Polynesian vibe.
There is a lot about Polynesia in the history curriculum here in NZ. I had an idea: Moko or facial tattoos have a lot of spiritual significance and we should somehow incorporate them into the Tang Mo Arm tattoo Male Facial tattoo |
