Here’s my version of Artakha:
Here is my interpretation of Artakha, the legendary creator. I envisioned him as a smith like character; he’s incredibly strong from all his years working the forge.

There were a few other things I kept in mind when building him. First, I wanted the armor to have the runes he is said to have.
“He stood at least 10 feet tall. His armor was gray-green and covered in runes carved at the beginning of time.”
— Reign of Shadows, Chapter 10
To me, the perfect part for this was the Hewkii Inika mask. It has an intricate pattern carved into it, which I think suits Artakha perfectly. Various other Gunmetal Grey parts seemed to echo the aesthetic of those masks. Some examples are the bohrok shields used as well as the backside of a thrornax launcher.
I also wanted to have s…

how exactly do I post my entry, just asking to make sure, I am going to participe in the drawing part of the contest, so I want to know in advance how to do it. BTW I am relatively new to the site.
Assuming entry guidelines are the same for the MOC to Art portion, you’d post your art with (Meet the Maker) somewhere in the title, and then link your post to the main topic for the art contest.

Of course the art contest hasn’t started yet so you have a bit of a wait ahead of you.

This is the ring, right? Welp, here’s my hat! Best of luck to everyone!
Gathered friends, I am here today to enter my submission for the Meet the Maker Contest. Let me introduce my rendition of the wearer of the Mask of Creation himself, Artakha!

“Artakha is a powerful being from the Matoran Universe, the “brother” of Karzahni, and the ruler of the island realm of Artakha, named after him.”
Given that he is the brother of Karzahni, that tidbit went heavily into my design process, for I based his entire torso around the Karzahni set, with some obvious modifications to account for the whole “Karkahni being a mutated freak due to the pit” situation. I also wanted to create a model that utilized actual Sand-green pieces so that one might be able to build it. Obviously this is a digital model, and that’s because I don’t want to spe…

I didn’t originally plan to, but uh… well, guess it happened anyways:
I didn’t plan to. I really didn’t. But after seeing all those early super buff Artakha’s I just couldn’t resist at least trying to provide an option that’s not super buff and more like what I imagine Artakha to look like. You probably all know know how sudden motivation sometimes is.
Still, three weeks for this was kinda short, especially since I needed to order some parts from Bricklink as well. As such, maybe this MOC might not be perfection, but I at least managed to build something decent, I think.
As per my personal rules, this MOC uses no painted parts, no 3D-printed parts and no CCBS parts. It is possible for everyone with access to only normal Lego parts, to build it exactly like this.
This MOC does (probably?) use illegal techniques. Everything is at least connect…
