Someone decided to bring back the ensemble art idea, so I’ll jump back in and show what I’ve got in my deck for the game, but as I always say-- “everything is a WIP until submission.”
I’m backing out of Zaria’s contest because I hate his newly canonized weapon, and Orde’s contest because I am heavily rooting for Ibukkey’s entry to win that contest.
That is, if these contests are to continue at all.
In order, Younger Sister Varian, Older Sister Chiara, Papa Nidhiki, Empress Tuyet, Aunt Lariska, and Best Boi Marendar.
Like my original version of this artwork, this style was inspired by Dan Mora’s art of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the movie poster for “Thor: Ragnarok”, and Bohemian Rhapsody.
Varian’s Rhotuka Launching Shield shape inspired by Captain America because she wears a Calix. (:
And yes, the Rhotuka works.
I am still massively upset that Chiara’s weapon was canonized to be a boring ol’ spear; I had a wonderfully crafted Nomad Staff prepared for her too. I had to repurpose its lower half to be a new Lightning Spear.
Textures and techniques appropriated from Krakua. They come from the same peninsula, after all. If you think the Scythe looks too heavy to be an “Air Scythe”, please think of best girl Ruby Rose.
I got bored of my old Barbed Broadsword design. Thank you kingsidorak and your new pack, because those KK swords are fancy and perfect for the design language I’m going for.
Unique Vahki Head Usage Go Brrr because I make it look good
“Death Can Be a Form of Salvation.” - Gran Torino, My Hero Academia
A much more refined version of my ever-growing Marendar, now with reinforced torso and leg articulation. 100% legal. Hopefully the artwork makes him look Messianic enough for y’all this time.
I’d prefer not to argue with anyone regarding design choices, nitpicks, lore discrepancies, personal preferences, and height issues. I’ll always be open to feedback and constructive criticism, but I urge you to be reasonably kind, considerate, and respectful about it in the discussions below, not just to me, but to anyone else who participates and replies. For everyone’s sake.
Support my mental health me and follow my work here if you like what I do. Cheers!
