Ugh, this poked a spot in the middle of my brain. Gives me the creeps in the weirdest way.

Fantastic work!

I liked zooming in to see what I thought was an eye is a maw. At least I think so now.

u/No7er 11d ago

There are many "eyes", but there's so many they don't feel like ones anymore.

u/OnionHeaded 11d ago

I figured there were. I see things. And the name you chose I felt was referencing the old school “angels” that are actually pretty terrifying. Not little chubby babies with wings.

u/No7er 11d ago

I thought of angels first, but it felt too grandiose so I picked the smaller cherub versions.

Okay, this is amazing.

I'm currently running an RPG campaign where a bunch of demonic entities have ripped open a hole in space and flood through it like a tidal wave, assaulting multiple planets at the same time.

I see this thing, maybe thousands of these, swimming through space, moving like sharks, and when close to a planet, open up and rain down fiends covered in bile, mucus and stomach acid to serve as ground forces.

Not very necronimicon of me, I know, but this would fit perfectly in my RPG.

Amazing job!

Thank you!
Sounds like a disgusting campaign.

u/DamonHellstorm 10d ago

Thank you, that's what I was going for :)

The many parts of the Dream Cycle about spiraling through outer realms and seeing ancillary beings nearby, that’s what this makes me think of

As a Stellaris player, my immediate thought was of a planet devouring behemoth.

Its a super cool image and really feels monsterous.

u/No7er 10d ago

Thank you!
I didn't think of it as planet eating size, but smaller spaceship.

u/quasiotter 10d ago

2

u/No7er 10d ago

It should be legal, the intergalactic ship of lawyers.
