Some more for TTK, specifically unique Taken designs. Call me crazy, but I always thought it was odd that the Taken existed for eons but the game never uses the giant moon-destroying raven emperor after the Taken have lost like 4 masters in 10 years
So the Steed is supposed to be an Ecumene member race, and I used a Seahorse to reference Bungies horse motif. I always imagine since the Ecumene are connected to the Darkness and the Steeds are their leaders, that the Steeds had a direct link to the Deep itself in some form.
The Bellow is very much based on Tubeworms. Since I wanted them to be the inhabitants of the Dakaua nest, I figured I’d go for a more unique take on a “nest”. Because of their design, I imagine as part of the Ecumene they may have had a link to the power of Darkness to connect minds together.
The Bishops are meant to be the Harmony, and i chose to base them on the Olm specifically to look like a wise old being. But also because it’s weird and I’ve never really seen a proper alien take on the Harmony. Also the staff is Ahamkara bone, if you couldn’t tell.
And the Archangels are Taishibethi ravens. Big, imposing, and a sort of take on corrupted angels of a sort with the wings and the flowing robes meant to be reminiscent of eastern depictions of deities. Maybe I’ll do a Tai Emperor Raven design some day.
