First up, Macku and Helryx. Macku came out decently enough (do I spy a little gift form a certain Po-Matoran? 
) Helryx… maybe? I tried giving her Kopaka’s mask, but then she just looked like a recolored Kopaka, so I tried removing the telescope eye… And I think it works? I don’t know, I down for anyone’s suggestions. 
Now on to the big bad; Irarok. I think this is actually my best artwork yet, so go me! He’s heavily inspired off of Insidious from Bayonetta 2 , and I wanted to give the G2 skeletons a shout out. Spooky scary octopus.
And lastly some general sketches of the boats, size comparison, other matoran, etc.
Now one important thing is the story element not explicitly shown in story. Irarok is actually an old creation/servant of Karzahni, that got stuck underneath Naho after Karzahni was sealed away. However, he was set loose after a crazed matoran named Mavrah set him free, allowing him to spread havoc on Naho’s coast.
Also, another little headcanon of mine is that Karzahni mostly speaks in Enochian rather than the island’s native language. (Enochian is an actual dead language that was believed to be the language of angels). Since he’s basically the gateway to all the Lovecraftian stuff possibly in the future, I believe this nuance in his character would be pretty coooool.
@IllustriousVar Thanks a bunch! I’m actually writing out your pitch for Lewa and Iruini at the moment, so I hope you enjoy that too!
@squeaverking …I know you’re making a Halo reference but you just gave me a great idea for a scene that could occur in Year 2. 
Stay Tuned~
