“Sit down and be quiet.”
Also waaayyyy ahead of the Fanon Contest this is for, but I hear that all three of them might possibly be handled in one giant contest. Hence, I waste no time–
Let me know if you spot the Easter Egg. 
This box art edit is for personal use and multimedia practice purposes only. I am not in any way affiliated with LEGO and/or its intellectual properties, but I freaking wish I could be one day.
Check out my new set up for toy photography! I’m loving my new super clean black glossy table 
I’m kidding lol I just went up the Photoshop Skill Tree and began practicing creating reflective surfaces; I’m too broke to afford LEGO, let alone a DSLR camera hahaha
My choice of color scheme is Burnt Orange-Gunmetal-Red. Officially, the colors are Dark Orange, Pearl Dark Grey, and Trans Red. I used Kryakwa’s Color Pack using the colors’ counterparts with increased specular attributes for presentation purposes. I don’t enjoy the natural glossy plastic of the official colors, especially for toy photography.
Main textures drawn from piston and Technic styles-- hence the hoses and gears, Mata Feet and G2 Armor, and yes, the Zamor Sphere Launcher as the torso base. Like a madman. 
Staff inspired by his backstory-- a non-lethal basic weapon as penance for his violation of the Toa Code, wrapped in chains to symbolize his restraint and regret.
Why the Zamor Launcher as a torso? Honestly, I just wanted to do something overly odd or obnoxiously out-of-the-box for the fun of it. It’s surprisingly a decent frame with convenient connection points.
This was legitimately the hardest part in building Zaria-- I wanted a “fierce, yet gentle” looking mask that has no “mouth” to convey how silent and repressed he was while maintaining a “no BS” attitude throughout the YQ serial. Galva’s Kanohi Azuhi fit that description and the frame I had already built for the body.
Regardless of what mask power Galva had intended this Kanohi to possess, I dig it a lot, and would very much like to use it if allowed. Given that this model was included in the publicly available Galvapack though, I would hope that it is usable for contest entries.
Finding pieces to create a balance of organic and mechanical textures led to this combination of parts. The Vorox/Skrall Armor was perfect, as its creature-themed structure somehow integrates pistons. The building technique used for the hand is by @Bukkey 
I love it way too much.
Also this foot piece is severely underused and I would very much like to bring it back. Lewa Phantoka and the Mighty Tuma get a jab at it and skedaddle? Nuh-uh. We need more of it.
That’s 2/3 Questerday Yesters accomplished with an updated Chiara on the way. Cheers!
