This is my Artakha MOC! I am excited to be showcasing this figure for a canonization contest! This is the biggest and most challenging MOC I’ve put together.
Dude! LOVE the headdress and the combo of it and the mask!!
I do agree with @Kyle it doesn’t quite fit Artahka but it’s well made all the same.
But just with the aesthetic where you’re going with this I feel like he’d be totally part of a mural up on a wall, he has that sort of appeal. I really like this. This dude is very much worth something to be proud of.
If you feel you have finalized this design and intend to enter it, then you will need to post a link to your entry topic in a post in the Artakha contest topic to enter.

I really like the headdress, but I feel like the rest of the body doesn’t fit that well into the g1 aesthetic because of the heavy ccbs usage. I don’t have anything against ccbs, I just think it should be used more sparingly in mocs that are meant to be g1 cannon (but I can understand if those were the only parts you had available).
I also feel like the rest of the body could use a few more gold accents to make the gold on the mask feel a bit less out of place.
That headdress really is something, and it’s a really nice model - very striking colour-blocking. Unfortunately though it is almost entirely a CCBC build, which isn’t inherently bad, but is too far away from the G1 look.
You should be proud of this though, I can’t imagine how many bloody iterations of that headdress you tried!
