I present to you my take on Artakha.

Behind the build:
Some of you might remember my original version of this guy from a while ago. While I regrettably cannot do a similar photo shoot, much of the initial design here is the same as before, save for color changes and a few piece changes to adhere to the contest rules.
[20200922_2045571]
Just like before, the MOC is equipped with semi-realistic waist articulation, as well as shoulder articulation. The new hands make for wonderfully poseable fingers and more expressive poses!

My initial design process began with a breakdown of iconic “titan builds” throughout Bionicle’s history. What parts made…
At last, my entry, sadly not as polished as I would have liked lol

So after many years, here I am with a new topic! This is my entry into the Artakha contest!

This is the first real constraction MOC I’ve made since like 2016, aside from minor adjustments to my self-MOC, and all things considered after three revisions or so, I like how he turned out! I made a bricklink order of just random cheap parts I found a couple months ago with no idea what to do with them, like those large shoulder parts for instance. Very strange piece, but it sure came in handy here. I also tried to reverse the gray/green balance from the upper limbs to the lower limbs, with green on the front and gray on the back and vice-versa.

Here’s my take on Artakha:
Entry Photo:
[Artakha Main]
This is my version of Artakha for Canon Contest #2. I wanted to make an imposing Artakha that would not feel out of place with other Bionicle sets. For that reason, Artakha’s armor is mostly made of Constraction pieces.
I used pieces with large amounts of surface detail to suggest the runes carved into his body. The head in the photos is a brick-built placeholder, which is designed to fit KhingK’s Mask of Creation.
The figure is reasonably posable and incorporates some waist articulation. The epaulets are on ball joints to allow for outwards arm movement, and the fingers can move independently.
Even though Artakha has been digitally rendered, every part used besides the mask is something that can be physically purchased. That is why Artakha is Metru green …

Here’s my entry:
The once generous if ornery child of the great beings, Artakha now lives a secluded life burried deep in his fortress–his mind only for his craft.
[Artakha-pose-main]
I ended up with stronger opinions about Artakha than I originally thought, and I think some of them end up being a little bit left of centre, so I look forward to hearing what people think! My main to focuses for this build were that, as a craftsman, he could be ornate but definitely not over-designed. Also, while a ruler, he never seemed like an opulent king. He’s a craftsman first and foremost, after all, so my goal was clean, attractive design with that tall and imposing vibe.
I settled on sand green and copper for the colour scheme. Since the mask of creation was won and not something designed specifically for him, I …
It’s been so cool looking at everyone’s takes–especially the less-conventional designs.

Honestly, I’d be okay with a majority of these entries.
But as for the ones that I really want to win, I have it down to a top five or six.

Hello! I’m new to the boards but I’ve been a part of the community for a while and have been really looking forward to this contest in particular! Here’s my entry!

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.
[20200923_143642]
Here’s his back. I gave him side skirts to give him a wise Turaga-esque appearance.
[20200923_143912]
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.

We know. We know… Dark Turquoise/teal is a risky take on Artahka because he is described as Gray-green. But hear us out:
Turquoise is just a nuance of blue and green, so technically it is up to your interpretation of the Colour green, although some Cultures describe Blue through Green and often used one Word for both.
Besides that, we sadly didn’t have much Sandgreen Pieces on hand and didn’t want to throw our Creation in Studio and give it some Impossible Pieces. Which would look cool and more accurate but wouldn’t be acquirable. Just in Case we would somehow win against these other incredible Contestants, we wanted our Build to be Reproducible.
On the Optic aspects, we didn’t want to let it look like a Ben 10 Figurine, Gen 2/Hero Factory Model or a…

I fixed my entry so now it should fulfill all the requirements:
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…
