STRANGE NEW WORLDS

She flies the ship! (Shes pretty sure she does anyway)

Attack on Old Mournhold,  12 of Sun's Dusk 1E2920

this took a really long time to make, idk if im happy with it i wanted it to be more dynamic, but i think its done, if i forgot smth ill just fix and reupload it atp gn

heres some closeups, praise mamalexia

The Sharmat reifies into tangible form

Can be understood as a sequel to this

I have imagined voryn physically appearing in the mortal plane by first emerging from the heart itself, it reminded me of hatching imagery (like how divine vehk is born in their sermons) or insect metamorphosis

I gave voryn slight hint of insect wings to show his divinity and his tie to Lorkhan (also called The Scarab) as well as him obviously being the symbolic sixth house three-eyed beetle ((bug)))

I made the mask look different, because i think it originally belonged to (maybe) Kagnerac and resembled his own face, voryn changes it later, this has its own implications but i wont get into it

I read somewhere that theoretically its kind of plausible that the bones of voryns mortal body survived through the heat (becoming ceramic), i now realize it probably makes no sense and i dont know what im talking about, but hey again it just looks cool

Nerevars corpse in distress is self explanatory, sword hints at voryns retelling of events - that he was struck down by nerevar, i usually dont inform of why i put things in a piece, but i decided that this time i want to

close ups:

God of the Blight 🐞

and she was a fairy <3 i just wanted an excuse to draw his cheeks really also something something rot rotting bug scavenger scarab foam decomposition bla bla bl i have to title each voryn piece with a different alias of his yes im productive with tes drawings lately but ill have exams soon so i might go hibernate who knows

Demonstration of masked possessiveness and yearning These are my headcanons. I wanted to paint something related to their dynamic that emphasizes their relationships main friction, that nerevars ambition and desire for freedom (to walk his own heroic path to power and change) clashes with voryns uncontrollable need (and selfish wish) to receive nerevars constant time and attention aswell as to have nerevar all for himself Bear in mind i believe voryn knows that he cannot have nerevar the way he wants and he understands his own selfishness, just sometimes lacks the self control. Hes also not the only one pained by this and nerevar too feels bad about it, he has even deeper issues and reasons for why he is this way I think this scene itself is kind of focused on voryns feelings of abandonment in particular close-ups:
