Artakha, Creator of the Toa Mata (BIONICLE Canon Contest #2: Meet the Maker)

Entry Photo: [20200923_223350] 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…

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

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…

Here’s my entry, hope it qualifies.

Artakha, the wise and imposing (Meet the Maker)

So I decided to take a crack at this contest, made my build of Artakha using dark green pieces, since I barely have any sand green, nor the disposable income to order parts at this time. His hammer isn’t that large compared to him, since I figured his hammer is a tool first, weapon second. No mask, because I couldn’t find or build one for him if I tried, and the art contest will take care of that anyway. This figure has an ab crunch, and rubber stabilizers in his feet.

Artakha, Lord of Creation (Meet the Maker)

[IMG_5888] Greetings All! I present to you Artakha, the Lord of Creation. I went for an ancient but powerful, lean but strong, and wise but dangerous, look. I used a lot of the Metru Armor for the ancient look, and the beefy but well proportioned limbs that give him the powerful and imposing aesthetic. [IMG_5887] I based the warhammer heavily off of the one created to go with the Melding Universe Teridax created by [BZPower] member ToM Dracone. According to the Bionicle wiki, the canonical users of this Warhammer are melding universe Teridax and Artakha. As I could not find instructions, I did my best to imitate it. [IMG_5880] In reading Artakha’s description, I always perceived ‘gray-green’ as gray AND green, but even so I knew that his canonical color was sand green. Thankf…

Quick question:

How soon after this topics closure can we expect voting to begin?
Sorry if this has already been answered.

Artakha [Canon Contest #2: "Meet the Maker"]

Entry Photo: [image] …when he traveled to Metru Nui, he took along a hammer from his forge to use as a warhammer. - BS01 A war hammer is quite a bit different to the type of hammer used for smithing, so if the tool he wields was truly supposed to be a war hammer and a smithing hammer, I chose to interpret it as one from his forge that he’s modified into a more specialized weapon by extending the handle, rather than having always used a war hammer for his profession. [image] [image] I was turned to the idea of a copper coloured Mask of Creation after seeing @Votuko’s post.

Fifteen hours, fellas. Get your hotheaded opinions ready and prime your uncreative ad hominems! I expect this to be a fair and fun contest that’s not taken too seriously, but in the absence of that, just make sure you aim for a vital organ!

you must teach me the way to make an utter fool of myself

Artakha: Artist of the Forge (Meet the Maker)

[IMG_4158] (Main Pic) This is my interpretation of Artakha, its been almost 4 years since I started it and after several revamps I’m finally happy with how it looks. This moc used to be silver and dark green, but i wanted it to be more close to the cannon, so I decided to incorporate gray-green parts. This was a big challenge as I only had a zaktan an a couple of ninjago sets. That means that I had to use some system while trying to still keep the g1 aesthetic using them only as details and mixing them with g1 parts. Also I didn’t want him to be almost like a statue so I tried to give him a big range of articulation, which I think was achieved at a degree. [IMG_4130] [IMG_4137] [IMG_4171] [IMG_4161] [IMG_4203] [IMG_4154] [final] Some details about this version of Artakha: …

He is equipped with his traditional hammer for both fighting and building but also: A soap stone for measurements, (Which is basically broken bar soap used since that is the best thing you can use for steel) ir A pen for note taking (I was considering giving him a book as well but i hardly carried it around me, i would just place it on a table while working hence he does not have a notebook as well) A pair of pliers (What is a worker without such an important tool, a very valuable tool) [artahka swing 1] Mask Used: How…

Alright, after some technical issues, here is my post. Please let me know if I need to make any changes, I’m kinda new around here.

Artakha, the Master Builder (Meet the Maker)

Hi all! I’ve been working on this MOC for about a year now, and I’m very excited to share it with you all now. When making this MOC a year ago, my goal was to use strictly G1 pieces, and as far as far I know, I’ve held true to that. The paint job on the mask is a bit amateur, but it was the best that I could do at the time. The mask used is KhingK’s Mask of Creation, which you can find here The Legendary Mask of Creation by KhingK - Thingiverse Anyway, here’s the MOC! Hope you enjoy.

Hey check out my entry!

Artakha, wearer of the Mask of Creation (Cannon contest #2, Meet the Maker)

“Creation is my essence, and you would destroy all that exists. I can’t allow that.”- Artakha (I’d like this one to be the entry photo) [IMG_0049] So here’s my version of Artakha, just in time for the end of the contest. I spent about two weeks on this guy, then the past two days on just his mask, and then just delayed uploading him. [IMG_0050] I wanted to only use sand green, so he uses silver and gray too. I also really wanted to use those knight’s kingdom shoulder pads, those are just really cool pieces. I imagined, like most people, that Artakha is pretty big and beefy. Side View [IMG_0051] I based his feet kind off of Brutaka’s three-toed feet and Onua Uniter’s two-toed foot. Originally I had him using the G2 Mask of Creation, but it was a little too small, and too gold. So…

Artakha, The Big Brain Smith (Canon Contest #2: Meet the Maker)

this is my first time posting here and really my first serious moc so I’m super excited to share my interpretation of Artakha! I wanted my build to look recognizable in the bionicle universe, like something you could see on the shelves back in 08-09, great care was taken to make sure that there were no illegal connections or ones that put too much stress on the pieces. I chose the mask of creation as my placeholder with a neon orange head stalk(when you stare into the forge, the forge stares back). For my hammer design I wanted it to be a something that is light and wieldable with one hand, the spiky piece on the end is meant to represent a utility claw.
