Description
The 2nd Turaga (village elder) to be humanized is Nuju of Ko-Koro. When I 1st played the Mata Nui Online Game long ago, entering Ko-Koro's inner sanctum/temple, due to the environmental music track sounding like in the Buddhist temple in China, that inspiration was used to making the human version of him. His clothing is inspired from that of the Buddhist head monk of the Shaolin temple as well as what his face looks like without the mask (did whatever I could to match the description well, somehow! >.<). Hardest part was obviously drawing his signature Kanohi mask Matatu, the mask of telekinesis, which took me a lot of practice until I could finally get it right.

Drawing pen and colored pencils

P.S.: The Matoran language written on the back of his shoulder poncho is written "Ko" for Ko-Koro, current home of Toa Kopaka.
