Artakha; Brother of Karzahni (Canon Contest #2: Meet the Maker) Lego Creations

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! Entry Photo: [Artakha3_pose] “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…

Artakha the Smith (BIONICLE Canon Contest #2: Meet the Maker) Lego Creations

Here is my version of Artakha for BIONICLE Canon Contest #2: Meet the Maker. Entry: [image] Here is Artakha hard at work forging the Hau Nuva. Front: [image] Artakha giving a wave to his adoring fans. Side: [image] Flexin’ those 'ceps! Back: [image] Hammer: [image] Arm and Hand Breakdown: [image] Leg Breakdown: [image] Torso Breakdown - Front: [image] Torso Breakdown - Back: [image] When I think of Artakha, I think of a blacksmith, so I tried to bring that to life by giving him a large upper body and muscular biceps while keeping the rest of him fairly thin. While I really liked the idea of using the Tohunga arms for muscles, I’m not particularly happy with how the arms turned out. As for the mask, I think the ornamentation of the G2 Mask of Creation would b…

Artakha, G1 style build (Meet the Maker contest entry) Lego Creations

[Artakha Render Front] This is my entry for the Artakha contest. I wanted to design something that people wouldn’t need to paint parts to build. I also wanted to keep to the style of '06 - '08 Bionicle. I did need to use a unique elbow and forearm design to support the mighty weight of his hammer. I had thought of using a smaller hammer, but I just loved the shape and color of the UCS Batmobile wheels. It seemed natural for the Mask of Creation to also be gold in G1, seeing as other rare or legendary masks tend to gold until something bad happens to them. (Tarnished Vahi, mid-countdown Ignika, shadow leeched Avohkii) It also seemed fitting for the mask not to be only piece of gold on the build. I made sure the neck joint can easily be replaced with a socket to accommodate a Metru head.…

I didn’t originally plan to, but uh… well, guess it happened anyways:

Lord Artakha, Master of Crafts (Bionicle Canon Contest #2: Meet the Maker) Lego Creations

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…

Artakha, A Love Letter (Canon Contest #2: Meet the Maker) Lego Creations

[A1] {Entry Photo} I originally had no plans to enter this contest, but the excitement surrounding the entire event was too alluring to pass up on. Like many, Artakha has been one of my favorite characters in the franchise. The entries thus far have been amazing, with so many takes on his design! I took great time and care reading through carefully what you, the fans, wanted to see. Shape, color, qualities. And equally, what you all did not want to see brought to the character’s profile. I have read your comments, concerns, hopes, and all things in-between. While disagreements were scattered across here and there, this is the culmination of what I hope can create a middle-ground. Hoping I can honor all those wishes, so this love letter is for you all! Design/Influence: [A3] …

Good luck to everyone who entered, and may the best MOC win!

There’s been eleven entries today! did the Helryx contest have this much of an influx of entries near the end?

Winger · September 22, 2020, 9:36pm

nope.

The Helryx influx was for the entire duration of the contest

Solaris_Magnus · September 22, 2020, 9:57pm

Quite a lot of late additions, ya. Still nowhere near as many helryx entries.

I’m surprised at the lack of 3D models compared to Helryx. Guess it’s because Artakha as a titan is more complex, but still.

Enjoy!

@Eljay regarding the “painted pieces must be one color” rule, is glittery paint acceptable? The only good gold paint I can find is glittery.

Artakha, creativity incarnate (canon contest #2: meet the maker) Lego Creations

So this is my entry to the Artakha contest. I don’t expect to win, I just want to participate. [artakha 1] He’s similar in height to Brutaka, maybe a little taller. I don’t have him assembled for comparison. [artakha 2] I noticed a lot of other entries had large, long hammers, so I went with a small hammer that closely resembles a real blacksmithing hammer. It’s a tool, not a weapon. [artakha 3] If need be, he could easily defend himself with it though. If Bionicle characters are strong enough to use ludicrously oversized weapons with ease, imagine what they could do with more conventionally sized weapons with minimal effort. [artakha 4] I also dislike how wide a lot of the entries are, so I went for a more slender design, while still trying to give him presence. Here are the …

my entry.
