This is my entry for the Meet the Maker Canon Contest.
The mask that I used was designed by KhingK, Here is the 3D model:
This was so fun to draw! I don’t think I’ve put this much effort into an art piece before in my life and as such I think this is my most detailed work yet!
My main idea with this drawing was to make Artahka’s Armor a similar texture to oxidized copper to give him a more regal appearance as well as showing his age. I still made it subtle enough to ignore if you really wanted to though.
The runes were also fun to design. There aren’t that many of them but there is a reason for that. The runes were designed so that they could be made into stickers and actually put on the official MOC. Not saying I know anything about making stickers but it is a possibility.
The shoulder pads have furnaces built into them and the hammer is smoking like there is an engine in there. I also made him holding the Avohkii because this is suppose to be depicting him crafting the mask of light and admiring it’s gleam.
Good luck to all the other contestants!
