Makuta Kiriku

[Tanaku, Toa of Light]

The island of Tarna Nui. Once a peaceful island full of all forms of life, taken over by a powerful Makuta. He ruled with an iron fist. He took over many lands, destroyed many landmarks and villages, turned allies into enemies, slaughtered the innocent, and killed many political figures. He ruled his domain with power and ease for hundreds of years. His name is Kiriku. It wasn’t until a mighty hero sent to the realm by Vesu Nui himself. The hero traveled down to Kiriku's kingdom, and challenged him. The Hero fought valiantly and defeated Kiriku. Kiriku was nearly killed, but he called upon another Makuta. Madit was sent to protect the realm, as a false protector, until Kiriku's return. He traveled deep into the core of the island, and fell into a comatose state, a state he remained in for longer than he ruled. It wasn't until around 5 years ago, Kiriku finally awoke. He began ordering Madit to get the island ready for him to take his place as ruler. Madit followed every order, re-ordering and rebuilding the cities, creating Rahkshi to make sure nobody leaves or enters the dome without notice, and more. Madit was ordered to collect materials in order to forge a Kanohi Kraaken, Mask of Shadows. Madit did so, and nearly perfected it, but was soon his plans were halted by the arrival of Toa Onaki. The battle raged, and in the end Madit was killed. Shortly after, Kiriku completed the Kraaken and showed his face for the first time in over two thousand years. Kiriku quickly took his place as ruler, and is more than ready to fight off any being that comes to stop him. Koriku is still working on completely regaining his power. His body is still weak from the comatose state he was put into for thousands of years, and needs time gaining his powers back before attempting to take rule of other lands. He is in a weakened state and is absorbing energy to build himself up to what he once was.

Makuta Kiriku - Weakened State
Kanohi Kraahken - Mask of shadows
Weapon - Staff of The Elements - A Makuta can charge their shadow energy into the staff and it will convert the shadows into what ever element the user desires His clawed hands and feet are used mainly in hand to hand combat, and the staff is used from a distance.
Powers - He not only has the power of shadows, but also has the power to create Kraata and Rahkshi. He also has each of the 40+ Rahkshi powers, telepathic powers, and the ability to control a spiritless body by feeding a small amount of his spirit into them.

Looks like ya mashed Icarax and Mutran together

Not too bad, but I'd bulk the legs up a bit. This guy looks rather top-heavy..and I'd work on getting rid of the green parts to give him a purely red/black form. I'm not saying multiple opposing colors is bad, but when one of them is so glaringly dominant over the other, it doesn't look right.

[Tanaku, Toa of Light]

Acually it was Antroz and Mutran I added the Mask of Shadows cause at the time I was thinking of Makuta of Metru Nui like he was in the movies (Red and a little green) I think I put too much green on it though, but I didnt want him to look too much like either set. This is just his weakened form, sooner or later ill make him more titan like.

What you could do to fix the dominant color is use darker green pieces. I've experemented with those before and they blend in better with darker colors. Other than that, I can't really say its bad. I like how he looks.
