The only problem with this is that then then the three brothers would look very alien to the matoran/toa. I believe in one of the podcasts it was mentioned that the Gods probably modeled the matoran after their own likeness. Anyways this comment is pretty off topic, but I thought I’d mention it.
I could see the mega-fig build(ex: ant-man) being used for that instead, as it would give the size while staying visually consistent.
As well I’d personally rather they go with a more grounded humanoid-god look than the more bestial unhinged form he took in g2. Which you could probably already gather from the art.

So your idea is to make Makuta into scarillian?

Mask is interesting in shape, to say the least. Not sure how well it’d be pulled off in minifigure form, but then again we have seen some intricate designs before with helmets and headdresses, so we shall see.
Whilst I do agree the colors are perhaps a little more on the vibrant side for what I typically expect from a Makuta, I do believe like for the mentioned villains Zarkon and Magneto, they could work… but perhaps in a different approach than pictured.
The Toa figures all have intricate detail printing on their torso and legs, which not only provides a little more visual interest, but also spreads out all of the colors featured rather nicely. I know I can’t see the full torso from this artwork, but perhaps that’s what this needs, to tone down the bright Metru Red (I see it as Metru, it’s dark red) a touch. Incorporate more of the dark grey/gunmetal into the design around the symbol of darkness, perhaps feature a view ‘veins’ of purple power running to and from it, and that might will do the trick.
Mind, this is all just my personal opinion, but perhaps a better idea of what you’re going for could be achieved with a full figure draw?

I just don’t like to see a reuse of colors for Makuta and plus, These colors work for him because it gives him a nice color scheme of his evil counterpart which the gunmetal represents the shadow or evil energy and the Takanuva gold representing his original color but a little dark.
