Artakha, King of the Forge (Canon Contest 2: Meet the Maker)

Whew, I was starting to run out of green. Here’s my take on Artakha!

The entry photo:


I came up with the head design early on, trying to make my own custom head since I don’t have a G2 Mask of Creation, and after coming up with the crown-like design I decided to emphasize the “kingly” look with the cape and shoulder pads.

Another front view:

Side:

Back (I’ve always wanted to try using these treads as a cape, and this seemed like a good time):

And here’s what it looks like under the cape:

A closeup of the hammer:


Went with a more standard hammer design instead of a warhammer, since Artakha’s wasn’t meant to be a weapon.

Breakdown, breakdown!




A size comparison with our favorite guy Matoro to demonstrate that he is, in fact, an absolute unit:

And that’s my entry! I hope you like it, and thanks for checking it out. :slight_smile:

I like it! The feet, the hunched stature and the cape/robes remind me a bit of an XXL Turaga :smiley:

Lol, I didn’t think of the Turaga idea but I like it! Usually hunchback designs look weird to me but I thought it worked here since he’s so ancient.
