You have to create a new topic with (Meet the Maker) in the title to enter the contest. Then you must put a link to this topic, like all the other entries did.

Not sure if I’m supposed to reply here or in the original contest listing, so I’m posting it in both places. Here it is either way!
Well folks, here’s my entry for the art portion of Canon Contest #2: Meet the Maker!
[ARTakha]
For this piece, I really wanted to give it a more painted look. I felt like it felt the character of Artakha a bit more.
On that note, that’s also why I decided to portray Artakha mid-construction of the Toa Mata! I really wanted to emphasize the more creative, inventive side of the character, and I felt like recreating one of the most important moments in Bionicle history would be a good way to do that!
I decided to use KingK’s Mask of Creation here, in part because that’s what @Connor_Hoffman originally used, but also because I genuinely think it looks perfect. A link to that mask can be found here: The Legendary Mask of Creation
As for the more technical details, this took about a month …

Hello! In the eleventh hour, I’ve got my entry! I hope you like it!
Hey guys, here we are again with a character that I’ve been interested in drawing for some time, and with this contest I’ve had the perfect opportunity to do so!

Design
I was after a fashion expecting a MOC design similar to the winner. What I chose to do for my drawing is to prioritize having something cohesive yet having room for interesting deteails. This included adjusting the proportions of several components and for his stance and body language be more immediately readable - which is no small task considering the MOC’s sheer bulk!
Some of these tweaks involved lengthening the arms and reducing the size of the legs to look much less bottom-heavy. Of course, also differentiating which “parts” were organic or mechanical, though the MOC made that decision very sim…

They haven’t updated the entry list yet. My entry still is the last one in the list. I’m sure they would update it when topic close

Is the time of closing this topic also the entry deadline? In other words, do we still have 13 hours to submit the entry? Asking for a friend.

Right at the last minute, here is my entry for the Meet the Maker contest, depicting Artakha as he arrives in the Core Processor chamber in “Reign of Shadows”. Seemed an appropriate scene to take inspiration from as that’s the first look any of the characters get at him.
I’ll provide some more background information on the piece in an update later on, as I am currently running late for work right now!
UPDATE (4th November 2020): As the polls are now open, seems like a good time to finally be adding that background information I promised, if anyone’s interested that is.
Starting with the runes on the body, I knew I didn’t want them covering the whole body because I didn’t want them to overpower the design. I laid them out over his chest and one arm (which is how I’ve always pictured the…
Last minute arrival! Hope you like! Thank you and GOOD LUCK to all!

Fixed up the link, Thanks @Willess12 !!
Kia Ora (Hello) everyone,
Here’s my submission. It’s the best I could do under my time restraints.
[Artaka Entry FIN] [Arthaka mask]
Wanted to reincorporate my Māori culture back into the franchise, using a combination of Whakairo, Mau Rakau & Ta Moko. Particularly with the mask, combining KhingK’s mask & “Wheku” designs.

In any case, hope you’s enjoy what I was able to make.

I believe you’re supposed to create a new topic with your art, and then post a link to that topic here
