I’d seen this MOC before, and I was blown away. But after having so many other Artakha MOCs flood my head, I’d forgotten just how amazing this one was, and seeing it again, I was once again blown away.
It’s super detailed, it’s super articulated, it’s exceptionally well-shaped, and it checks off just about every detail in the character description perfectly… except for the sand green part.
Judging by the winning entry of the Helryx art contest, the art half of this contest could recolor a few bits here and there, but as it is, this is really stretching what it means to be sand-green.
And yet… I almost don’t care. The MOC excels in pretty much every other aspect so much, that I think I’m still going to vote for it as my top choice in Poll Two.
And wow, that hammer is surely the definitive rendition of it. The transformation feature is really cool, and on top of that, the hammer looks really good in both forms. It also acts as a sort of play feature, and I love to see people incorporate those into their MOCs.
The greebling on this MOC really gives off an ornate feel, and I suppose they could be interpreted as the “runes” on his armor. Somehow, you’ve managed to combine dark gray, sand green, silver, gold, and light blue all into the same MOC, and make it not only work, but look amazing.
What more can I say? This MOC is beautiful!
