#excuse me but are you telling me that the Apollo pic is made with the help of the SUN and the Artemis one with the help of the MOON??? #that's actually so poetic i want to cry
@gorandomshesaid wait i need to sit with this one. wait.
my not-quite-Iterator, not-quite-not-an-Iterator, Correlated Obliteration. a parasite created by actually-an-Iterator Crystalline Oscillation to help them with their work, who also unknowingly allowed it to usurp their body whole
they added mystery flesh pit national park to rain world man what the hell
FINALLY! After so much procrastination I finally have all of the Iterators done! This was more difficult than expected especially with the effects I wanted to make like the Iterators falling into the void sea looking background but I DID IT!! I love how this came out and I’m so glad I went w a different path on how I made this. Was super fun!
vent art? rot au pleading intellect lore? why not both! (yapping under the cut)
Pleading Intellect’s chamber is made of glass, and sits in the middle of their city. They are a focal point of many festivals and will sing and dance and tell stories to the crowds of tourists who flock to their city to see them, as their structure is located in a beautiful area close to the shore. Because of the tourism, their city is very wealthy, and they are adorned with gold and silk to reflect that.
Isn’t it undignified? Watched at all hours, stripped bare, their art seen as entertainment to be consumed? PIn loathes performing by the time Pebbles befriends them. It feels meaningless, any artistic or emotional expression they put into them is chewed up and spit out without a second thought. At first, they’re reluctant to even talk about the ceremonies and dances with Pebbles, worried that he’ll treat them the same. But he doesn’t. He notices little things, asks questions, responds to them with intrigue, and PIn finally feels like they’re being seen rather than watched. They start enjoying creation again, at least when it comes to Pebbles, adding flairs of their own to dances they’d performed emotionlessly for cycles, putting emotion into them that someone finally acknowledges.
It’s a miracle they don’t rot themself the second Pebbles offers.

ngl, i had a lot of fun drawing this, especially the poses and shattering glass.
I wonder if, given enough time, the orange lizards you see in Spearmaster’s moon could have evolved to live inside moon’s structure, maybe even using distress signals from neurons and such to locate prey! Or maybe they could be specifically engineered by an iterator for pest control
