BIONICLE Canon Contest #2: Meet the Maker BIONICLE

It was a nice break, but it’s time to hit the forge yet again. Your quest, should you choose to accept it, is to create the Artakha, the great crafter that created the Toa Mata, the Staff of Artakha, and vehicles held within the core of the universe. His appearance has only been described once: “He stood at least 10 feet tall. His armor was gray-green and covered in runes carved at the beginning of time.” — Reign of Shadows, Chapter 10 His mask has also only been described once, however this won’t matter for the first half of this contest: “His mask was the most ornate anyone had ever seen – more than just a Kanohi, it was a true work of art. The metallic protodermis from which it was forged was arranged in intricate patterns and designs, each reflecting one of the many cultures that…

I really like this one! Very straightforward but concise and solid build and silhouette. Really feels like it could’ve been a set. Would you be able to post a pix of it in Sand green, would love to see that! Only downside for me is the mask haha. Great job and good luck!

I like the use of hoses! May have my vote!

Interesting to see you lean more on the technic side for this kind of MOC. Looks a little too hard on the sci-fi edge for Artakha, but a cool MOC nonetheless.

Sharreek · September 16, 2020, 2:17pm

Sand green, as requested

Solaris_Magnus · September 16, 2020, 2:19pm

Oooh. I love it. Really nice job here!

Good looking moc! I like the technic panel armor, and the colors look nice

this is digital right? so why isn’t the armor sand green? just wondering.

Those weird shoulder gaps are really throwing me off. Still a good build overall.

I wanted to make it with parts in colors that actually exist. It forces me to problem solve and get more creative to get the look I want.

Sharreek · September 18, 2020, 5:23am

I see what you mean

This doesn’t really look like a G1 MOC to me, so I won’t be voting for it. But I do think that it looks really cool. It has a very sleek, high-tech aesthetic that I think works quite well, and the sort of Tetris-looking hammer is neat.

NotDragonax · September 27, 2020, 3:29am

This is really nice. The way everything’s put together and fully integrated with the Technic lift arms and shells makes it feel like an actual set, maybe something we would’ve gotten if CCBS hadn’t become a thing.
