I love the short, dumpy feel this one has. Makes me think of a fantasy dwarf, which is very suitable for a creator/forge master. Though, his legs do seem a little long compared to his body.
This Artakha definitely seems too short for Inika-scale, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me since I think it still works with Mata-scale.
Scaling issues aside, it looks really good. It’s not super complex like some MOCs, but it makes great use out of the few parts it does use. Both the figure and his hammer look really solid. For that reason, it has my second vote in Poll Eight.
