Question: Are we allowed to include a matoran in the drawing?
Also, this was asked before by someone else, but I don’t think it was ever answered. Are we allowed to change the color/design of the cape?
I haven’t shown my entry but that’s exactly what I did for mine
Personally the cape is a non-structural element of the MoC and, like the mask, there should be no issues with modifying it as long as the MoC itself is represented as closely as possible in your artwork.
As for Matoran, same deal - as long as Artakha is the focus of your artwork you can have pretty much whatever you want in the background.

Do the G2 Mask of Creation’s symbols mean something? I wanna translate them to Matoran for my mask, but they aren’t letters of the Okotan alphabet.

The runes on the G2 Mask of Creation are just a fancy pattern.
They aren’t any sort of substitution cipher.
There was a fair bit of discussion on them at the time - I believe the same string of symbols appears on various G2 visuals, sometimes mirrored, to give the effect of writing without actually putting random words on stuff.

my entry! Good luck to everyone, guys!
My submission for the Artakha Art Canon Contest. This time my art is inspired by Blacksheep Production concept arts for BIONICLE Miramax trilogy.

Basically my work speaks for itself. In the process, a lot of concept art was created and many of them remained behind the scenes.

I think you got the wrong topic
The letters on the mask are part of a custom alphabet created by the designer of the mask.
The translation can be found here:
Update: Adding additional 3D renders and Artwork
“His mask was the most ornate anyone had ever seen – more than just a Kanohi, it was a true work of art. The metallic protodermis from which it was forged was arranged in intricate patterns and designs, each reflecting one of the many cultures that flourished in the universe. The eye slits were angular and pointed, giving him an air of both wisdom and a vague sense of menace.” - Reign of Shadows
Here is my take on the Mask of Creation worn by the Titan Artakha in Bionicle G1.

This mask took ages to make. I wanted to make this mask feel kind of organic due to how old it is. Besides the symbols that were added to the mask, the entirety of the mask was modeled in 1 piece to make the mask flow.

Did you even read his post?
Here’s my entry! Good luck to everyone!
Here’s my entry for the contest, a busy forgemaster, having just completed the mask of shadows, it’s opposite sibling soon to follow.
Also @Connor_Hoffman thank you for the opportunity, this was a challengingly wonderful MOC to artistically render in my style.

Here’s my entry! Just in time, too!
Well folks, here’s my entry for the art portion of Canon Contest #2: Meet the Maker!
[ARTakha]
For this piece, I really wanted to give it a more painted look. I felt like it felt the character of Artakha a bit more.
On that note, that’s also why I decided to portray Artakha mid-construction of the Toa Mata! I really wanted to emphasize the more creative, inventive side of the character, and I felt like recreating one of the most important moments in Bionicle history would be a good way to do that!
I decided to use KingK’s Mask of Creation here, in part because that’s what @Connor_Hoffman originally used, but also because I genuinely think it looks perfect. A link to that mask can be found here: The Legendary Mask of Creation
As for the more technical details, this took about a month …
See my post just above yours.
Nice entry, by the way.
Never mind, I see now that you have posted it over there too.
It’s nice to see these entries starting to come in. I was starting to get a little worried we were going to have a 1-round contest.
Now, we should be able to get all the way up to two rounds!
