Here’s my take on an alternate universe version of Makuta where Ekimu fell instead of Makuta.
I tried to make his shoulders more like his Journey to One titan form, which ended up like Umarak the Hunter.
I wanted to give him a unique kind of hammer, so I made it out of a Unity piece.
Instead of having a Shield, he has a sword. Character dichotomy~
Mask Maker and Mask Maker
The Rest of the gallery:
Makuta: “It’s such a shame my brother fell; he could have been such a great Mask Maker.”
Kopaka: "What do you mean by that?
"He was kind and courageous, but his pride led to his destruction.
Long ago, we were noble Mask Makers of the people. My brother, Ekimu, truly shined like no other. He sought out to make the best masks in all the land, rivaling those of the ancients… Even if the people had to suffer. He broke the sacred rules of the forge; making masks of several powers. They were unstable, but he continued forward with his endeavor. To escape destiny."
Gali: “How would one mask change fate?”
Makuta: “Only he truly knows. He thought he could bring the power of greater beings down to us mere mortals.”
Tahu: “What about you? If you knew he was going down a path of self destruction, why didn’t you try to stop him?”
Makuta: “A part of me wanted to see him fall. A sick part of my brain that was so engulfed in jealousy, it could have lead me down that path too. I won’t deny my sins; I read the prophecy as much as he did. Even back then, I wanted his glory. I thought that it was rightfully mine; that my name belonged in history… and that judgement… allowed him to make that horrid mask. Ekimu merged all six of the elements we imbued into masks into one forbidden mask. Ekimu took it to the capital: he hoped that the power of the mask would make them see him as a king. But I knew it wouldn’t be so; prophecy had foretold it all. Had his intentions be good, maybe the power would have affected him differently, but the mask turned his pride and avarice for glory into disdain for the world.”
Tahu: " What did you do?"
Makuta: “What I had to to keep Okoto safe, and from the looks of things here, it seems I didn’t do a good enough job.”
