#pharaoh form

Ah a zhuard's rarely manifested pharaoh form is certainly nothing to play around with (take pictures at your own risk)! It is not a form I draw often, and see even less despite being the origin form for zhus. It simply takes a ridiculous amount of domruku energy for it to exist physically at all, which is why most zhus an only bring on parts of it. Moon motif- which are really domruku orbs, just stylized. I seem to be following a theme this month with that and abstract shapes for this inktober, which I am enjoying! The pose is a little funny, especially since the secondary forearms don't bare weight--the walking arms are doing that...and the fact this form is the only form on a zhuard that has a protruding chest. TBH- in this pose, if you have an eye for seeing shapes, it looks a bit like a thanksgiving turkey with steroid arms. If you can't see that, ignore what I just wrote haha! Thankfully zhus don't normally carry the arms in this position. This zhuard is just feeling hangry and defensive apparently. Done with ultra fine and regular sharpie marker! . . .

Started on this while on vacation--a vent art of sorts in a positive way (emotions from a situation: hope, longing, empowerment in this case). Took a little bit to get it how I wanted since I've never drew domruku energy traditionally, much less with pencil. I see it as shimmering and gas-like so I had to avoid creating too much of a 'smokey' look of the graphite. Often times zhuards that command energy can do so this way which alerts and even intimidates others. Sometimes this energy is physically manifested into actual pharaoh form...but this show of strength from Allen is mostly energy. She is making a statement- for other zhuards to stay away.   Art (c) Thebridgebeyond/SNW
