Darkness overcome · 1:53am Aug 2nd, 2016
So, after darkness comes light. In a big way.
We've had the bestial darkpath as Mix-up has taken to calling it. All the worst instincts of a dreamon running wild. This is kinda the opposite of that. It is the litteral knight in shining armor, with a touch of sun god vibe. I am a particular fan of the details on the armour, the rubys and the whole stellar dream realm. It's rather spectacular.
Remember, you can always see more of Mix-up's art on fimfim or on deviant art. For more details on this specific pic though, you should check out his blog here.
The Egyptian/Pharaoh vibe the armour has is pretty cool. My two favourite features have to be the fact that he's not so much wearing the armour as its... equipped to him? There's no single word for it I support. The pieces floating around his body rather than secured to it. The there is the complicated patterns worked into it. In a way it makes me think of the Gou'ald and Tok'ra from Stargate.
4127134 That was pretty much the thought I had when i design it, I wanted to produce awe inspiring, larger then life, radiating epic godhood that was no one would question his righteousness of beatdown that he is about to commit. And what is often considered the highest of most gods? the sun good, I think Celestia would agree wholeheartedly on that point divine favoritism on that point. Anyway, yes I was inspired by Stargate SG-1 Gou'ald design as I had really loved the curved lines in the alien design of the first movie that started it all.
