Some random sketches of the celestials because I made a majority of them before I developed a crippling minecraft addiction.
I will continue my trend of making super long posts but this one may be a bit shorter as a lot of the information on the celestials is very relevant to the plot of the melodious monster chronicles that I want to turn into a comic or something some day. So I don't want to spoil anything important for obvious reasons. I'm also very unmotivated to write a whole lot so that'll also make it shorter.
As you may notice the celestials look marginally different than their cannon designs. I usually like to keep the little details in my monster designs cannon compliant (I might end up redoing those blow't drawings for that and a few other reasons, I kinda messed with it a bit too much for my own tastes) but in this case I'm not drawing a standard individual of a species, there's only one of each celestial and each one is their own character so I want their designs to reflect their unique personalities and also to better reflect my own tastes. As for them being their own character all of them have their own names that I won't share as they aren't all that important. Also all the celestials have a sibling-like familial relationship because it's cute so there will be no celestial shipping here.
The celestials themselves are pretty much a pure organic form of their element's essence. The elements themselves are energy from the celestial's constellations so the celestial's physical forms are basically the personas of their constellations if you think about it.
The celestials also made the natural and ethereal monsters themselves with no help from the colossals or anything. I wanted to make the celestials more important and be on-par with the colossals in terms of power and influence over the monster world so I made them more responsible for things. I will try to explain how monster species are first made by just copying it from a document I made on how that happens. A lot of context is needed to understand the fundamentals of how my monster world works so some things may not make sense so if something confuses you, uh, idk just guess
"A species of monster is formed by a god manipulating some elemental essence that it’s able to control, then it mixes it with a compatible power element to animate the elemental energy into the lifeforce ( and body in most cases ) of a living sapient creature. The elements making up a true monster's lifeforce determines its species and class. Once a specific elemental “signature” has been associated with a species formed solely from it’s lifeforce, anything else made with that same “signature” will be that species.
The natural and ethereal monsters were created by Galvana with slight assistance from the other celestials when the ethereals were made. With its control over all the elements, Galvana wadded together elemental energy and zapped it to life forming the first single elementals. After a while with just them (and after the other celestials were fully aware of this project) the celestials began trying to mix even more elements together and then bring them to life. Turns out that worked and created unique species. "
before i go into hibernation here is 1 (one) attempt at a humanized galvana. i went from feeling neutral about the celestials to absolutely falling head over heels for them i guess it is what it is
i mainly used traditional balinese outfits as reference, though i couldn’t find a good way to work the thing(???) that galvana has on its back into the design so i incorporated it into the crown. i hope i’m doing the outfits and cultures justice, i don’t want to misrepresent such a culture in any way
this specific concept wasn’t what i had in mind but i sort of like it, hope others can enjoy too
