Ekimu and Makuta are well loved by the people of Okoto for their Masks. But lately, Makuta's masks have fallen from their favour.

I wanted to recreate them based off of their animated counterparts, as well as in the style of my Takua. I gave Ekimu a prosthetic arm [that he of course made] because I felt it made sense for his character to have one, and there really isn't enough disabled characters in media doing great things.

That beautiful lighting...

 

HHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNGGGG

 

Entirely an accident! I was trying to get good pictures at night for no reason other than that I was impatient to post them online, and all I had for lighting at the time was a couple of LED flashlights.

 

I'll give you credit for making Ekimu not a generic "Toa Ekimu" build. Interesting builds, some of the techniques (shin armor, feet) do look a little weird to me.

 

I wanted to give the feet a more "classic" 2-toed look because who doesn't like 2001-era Matoran right? The shin armour is there to fill out the gaps and attempt to blend the years together into some sort of cohesive build.
