For the runes on Artahka’s armor, I abstracted and simplified the runes from The G2 mask of creation into simple lines and came up with a few more of my own in that style. Overall, tried to keep the same color scheme and major forms as the winning model.
For the mask of creation, I was inspired by tribal masks because of the tribal nature of cultures in the Matoran universe. So, instead of a crown, there is more of a headdress. I tried to incorporate forms from various armor parts and kanohi for the details on the mask.
I forgot to add this earlier, but here is some concept art/process:
An actually unique Kanohi shape! I’m impressed. This is a solid entry in my eyes. I also like what you did with those Maxilos shoulders to make them less similar to Vezon’s face – keeping that faithfully would’ve made for an awkward encounter in the insane Great Being’s prison-fortress.
Are you auditing my old contest entry?!!…! Just kidding. I got put up against some really good art in the first round of the polls, so I didn’t make it very far. But thanks, I try to add some humor into these things
