Here’s my take on Artakha. For some reason the idea of his armour looking unusual made me really want him to have some strange System armour.
I put some jets on his hammer since that seems like the sort of thing he’d like. Forging a legendary Kanohi probably requires an excessive amount of power, so I like to imagine him swinging down with full thrust to pound his creations into shape.
Here’s his back. I gave him side skirts to give him a wise Turaga-esque appearance.
From the side, you can see the bulkier parts of the system armour that wraps around his waist a bit. I added some gold grills for that “unusually ornate” flair.
Here’s an unobstructed front profile.
Breakdowns
Here’s the head, almost entirely brick built. I know the mask design isn’t a factor, but I thought this could be what a G1 Creation Mask could look like.
Here’s an arm, reversed for the other side, naturally.
His leg. The most important part is that sand green tile!
His main body is mostly an Inika build with a technic beam to make him taller and scarier.
Here’s how you build that torso armour. Very nice!
On his back, we use a Mata Foot with some treads clipped on with a claw piece for the side skirts.
His hammer. It all revolves around the Mata torso piece.
Although his head is custom, I made sure he was fully compatible with a standard Metru head without modification.
I look forward to seeing how this goes!
